SNR from good to very bad in 2 weeks x-Fi
I don't suppose that there is much I can do about it. But if it would be great to know.
I bought the X-Fi Go, because my Notebook Onboard Sound had some really bad quality. When I raised the General Volume up to 25% or above there was some annoying background noise. Not loud just this quiet noise that gets annoying in quiet movie scenes, not so loud music or when Sound is turned of and the headphones are still on. When I only raised the Wave (the digital) Volume anything else than the one in the windows sound panel it didn't have any effect.
The X-Fi Go was great the first days. With 00% Volume I still couldn't hear anything if there was nothing to hear.
But week later there is a constant noise. Louder than but not as high as the one of the onboard soundcard. Doing anything with the Volume or even switching to mute has absolutely no effect.
Does this happen often? I use only a longer USB extension cable than the default, but since the singal is digital till it reaches the X-Fi Go, this should have any effect.
Now I want to send it back as a warranty case.
I would like to know if you have experienced similar problems with your soundcards?
greetings duskkk
PS: This WSIWYG Editor has some serious issues. Enter always puts the cursor to the Top.
If the DLM has lowered your profile then it is just a case of waiting for it to increase. If the line is stable it will increase to a speed that DLM deems is best for your line. This can and often does take 3 weeks to happen. As far as I am aware all you can do is to monitor it and if it doesn't increase after 3 weeks then you may get some sort of intervention from BT/Openreach.

Output audio from fmle is very bad
Hello for some reason out of the blue fmle just starts having degraded audio quality and almost sound like all the audio is badly cut together
Hi,
Captivate identifies the original audio quality and imports it the same way. Please note that by default narration is recorded at 11Khz in PowerPoint. Hence it is imported inside Captivate with the same setting.
If you are using PowerPoint 2003, go to menu item Slide show > Record narration > change quality.
You will see the default setting at 11KHz.
Please change it to a higher frequency, may be 44.1KHz mono setting and then record narration. Now import the presentation inside Captivate. Audio should be much clearer.

Changes in 2.02 - some good, One very bad BUG = All Music Lost.
Just what I've noticed so far in addition to those listed in the AppleInsider thread (the new animation from Music list and album view is still my favorite). Some minor, some major - especially losing all your Music by runing "Reset Settings". Some may be with 2.01 and I didn't notice them.
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles...2update.html
1) Notes: New animation for minimizing from Notes
2) Contacts: ".com" popup menu is hidden in the simple period button [.] Hold to see other options.
3) VPN: Moved in Settings under General > Network.
4) Slight improvement in dragging Icons between home screens.
*5) "Reset Settings" should only have cleared settings and not media, but it broke Music. I could tell by the Capacity values that the files were still there, but I had to resync to get access back to the files. Before that Music was totally empty :(*
6) When I connected to iTunes to resync Music: The option to upload the iPod diagnostics file triggered an automatic backup of my iTouch - presumably due to the contents of the file indicating trouble in the file system?fishandchips07 wrote:

No, actually, it doesn't. The Apple Store policies explicitly state one download only. That's why, unless you have turned it off, iTunes will warn you to back up your purchases.

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -

What can Apple do if my Iphone 5s has dust in its camera? The camera is very bad and can't take any good pictures. Can Apple do anything or give me a replacement phone if I go to the Store?
You can make a Genius Bar appointment to have the device looked at. If the device is still under warranty and they identify a problem, then Apple makes the final decision as to a replacement. If the device is out of warranty and they identify a problem, you would be offered the opportunity to purchase an out of warranty replacement at a discounted price.

Fios Internet connection is very bad! Please help!
Hello,
I play an online game called Final Fantasy XIV. I use a program called WTFast in order to have a solid gaming experience, one without or very little lag or disconnects.
Recently, within the last 3-4months, I have noticed I get EXTREME lag and DISCONNECTS. I contacted WTFast with a tracert that they analyzed, and here is their response:
"Your internet connection is very bad. There is a "plateau" spike. This will cause WTFast to spike as well, and for such a long "spike" it is not surprising that the connection was dropped.
The previous report showed a very unstable internet connection as well (the one where you got a 30 second freeze).
Present the same reports you sent to us to your ISP (Verizon FIOS) and ask them to try to make their connection better. The report will help them see the quality of the current connection."
Here is the information in the more readable form (except for the last four as I figured you would probably get the idea by then). Yes, 4 shows 100% packet loss, so the connection dropped then. Also, in 5 the standard deviation is high (16.35 ms) which indicates a huge fluctuation in the signal. The flux column also shows large numbers, which indicates a large variance in the signal speed. Finally, there are a lot of hops just within the ISP, ie rows 2-8, and all this data is for the ISP itself, not the WTFast connection. In fact, that connection is the last one, and there you can see good numbers. Hope this helps.

Very bad resolution in menus (templates)
I have a number of films taken with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera settings are set to NTSC with frame rate 60, AVCHD.
In my iMac (OS X vers.10.7.3), I tried first to edit my movies in iMovie, but soon I discovered that iMovie did not properly manage the AVCHD format.
With Adobe's Premiere Elements , I could however handle the AVCHD format in an excellent manner. But when I got to the final stage to create a menu
of my film footage (where I used Premiere's menu templates) the menus were very bad with poor resolutions. I could see this both at "preview" and on DVD.
The actual films were great with a real AVCHD resolution on DVD.
Why does this happen to the menus? Do I need to burn out my movies without menus?Hi Bill,
Thanks for the welcome.
I have only used HD Menu Sets.
But which one of the Available Presets in Project settings shall I use according to my camera settings (see my first question)?

Re: Very bad resolution in menus (templates)

Did you use an HD Menu Set, or and SD Menu Set. As your AVCHD material is HD, you should use only an HD Menu Set.
I also assume that you chose the proper Preset at New Project, to match your footage 100%. Is that correct, or did you choose something else.
For the HD Project from that footage, you should be authoring a BD (Blu-ray Disc) and not a DVD, which is SD, and not HD, like the footage. Did you mean BD, when you typed "DVD?"
Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

I am a photographer and in June 2013 I decided to join the newly launched Creative Cloud single application subscription program for Photoshop CC.
At the same time I purchased a Lightroom standard license (Lightroom was not available on the Creative Cloud at that time).
The monthly price for Photoshop CC with a one year commitment was 24,59 Eur for Europe (I live in Czech Republic). I didn’t quite understand how that translates from the 19,99 USD of the US subscription, but fair enough Adobe is not a charity and they have the right to decide to charge what they want for their products. Plus the subscription prices were clearly showed on their website, so I decided to join anyway.
Honestly I was very happy both with Photoshop and Lightroom and I think they are two fantastic pieces of software so I didn’t mind the price I paid for them.
Then a few months after I get a call from my bank saying that my card has been blocked because it might have been compromised following some online payments I made. And after a little research I find out that (citing the Adobe website) “Very recently, Adobe’s security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of customer information as well as source code for numerous Adobe products. We believe these attacks may be related.
Our investigation currently indicates that the attackers accessed Adobe customer IDs and encrypted passwords on our systems. We also believe the attackers removed from our systems certain information relating to 2.9 million Adobe customers, including customer names, encrypted credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and other information relating to customer orders.
Great, now I am for two weeks without card while my bank gets me a new one (they are not that fast in Czech Republic).
Fortunately I also read online that (citing the Adobe website) ”Adobe is also offering customers, whose credit or debit card information was involved, the option of enrolling in a one-year complimentary credit monitoring membership where available.”.
Honestly I misunderstood that as a one year complimentary Creative Cloud membership and I thought that was very nice of Adobe, they didn’t have to do it, and to me it showed an effort to say “we are sorry” and to try to retain their customers’ trust.
Some time passes and I am obviously still getting charged monthly for my subscription.
So I contact Adobe through the online chat…..turns out that I am not eligible for the one year complimentary subscription (none of the agents actually explained to me that I had misunderstood the offer) but after a bit of complaining and waiting online I get offered a one month complimentary subscription!?!?!.
You can make up your own mind on how to interpret that but to me that meant that Adobe recognized their responsibility but tried everything possible to get rid of me with the minimum possible.
The guy on the chat however said that if I am not satisfied I can ask him to escalate.
I do so and he tells me that I will be contacted within 2-3 business days.
A week after I have not been contacted yet, so I call the support again and I am told that they are very sorry for not getting back to me and I will be (again) contacted within 2-3 business days.
TWO weeks after that chat I finally get a mail from Adobe, which is now offering me 2 months complimentary subscription.
I realize I better take what they give me so I reluctantly accept.
Not even a week after that, I realized that Adobe launched a new Photoshop Photography program where they give the Photoshop CC license + Lightroom 5 for 9.99 USD or 12.29 Eur with a yearly commitment. This is half what I pay now, not even considering the one off Lightroom 5 license that I already paid (129.15 Eur). The special offer expires on the 2nd December (less than a week from now at the time of writing this).
The good news is that existing CC subscribers can ask to transfer to this program for free.
So I contact the Adobe support again and they happily confirm that I can switch to the new program.
BUT I would lose the 2 free months as they cannot be transferred to the new program because it is already discounted.
I spend a good deal of effort explaining that the 2 free months are not a discount but are a compensation for me being without card for 2 weeks so I should be able to retain them, but the support person on the other side of the chat just politely dismisses every argument.
I understand that Adobe did not have to allow existing subscriptions to transfer to the new offer for free, I purchased a service and then a few months after the price went down, fair enough this happens.
If the price went up on the other end I would have still kept my original price.
However what infuriates me is that since any existing subscriber can join the cheaper offer, Adobe has actually penalized me in front of all the other customers and the reason why they have penalized me is that my data have been compromised on their servers.
You draw your own conclusions but to me this is very bad customer service.This is the transcript of the conversation I had with your colleague over the support chat, then unfortunately my connection dropped and I lost him:
Saka: Hi Francesco.
Francesco: Hello
Saka: I have received your initial question. I'll be glad to check and help you with this.
Francesco: thank you
Saka: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
Francesco: ok
Saka: Francesco, I have checked and see that we have issued 2 months free for the subscription Nov 21, 2013. Your next billing date is on 27.2.2014.
Francesco: but I have already been billed on 02.12
Saka: I'll be right with you.
Saka: Are you referring to Clenství ve službe Creative Cloud s jednou aplikací pro Photoshop (rocní) or Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší)?
Francesco: the first one should have been canceled, the second one has been activated
Francesco: with the 2 months free of charge added to it
Saka: Yes, the first subscription has been cancelled.
Francesco: I have been bulled only 12.29 Eur so it is for the second subscription
Francesco: the first one was 24.99 Eur I think
Saka: Yes, you have been charged € 12,29 for the new order Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší).
Saka: You can continue using the subscription without any issues.
Francesco: so where are the 2 months free of charge?
Saka: We have provided 2 months for your Clenství ve službe Creative Cloud s jednou aplikací pro Photoshop (rocní).
Francesco: those have been transferred on the Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší)
Francesco: as confirmed by your colleague and by the mail I received
Francesco: This is the mail confirmation

Very bad microphone quality with LCCS on Android
Hello,
I have created two applications with LCCS (audio and video conferencing), one for Windows and one for Android devices.
From my PC, all work very well. When I speak with my desktop microphone, the sound delivered to my phone is good.
But, when I speak with my phone, the sound delivered to my PC is very bad.
Maybe LCCS doesn't configure mobile microphone correctly ?
By the way, on mobile Microphone.getEnhancedMicrophone returns null and falls back to getMicrophone instead.
Any idea ?OK I found that SPEEX codec result on Android (and maybe on iOS) is very bad when streamed. If I use instead the old NELLYMOSER codec, the result seems to be correct. Not fantastic, but correct.
I thought that SPEEX codec was fully supported and very good on Android... Am I wrong ?
Is there somebody here who try to use SPEEX codec on mobile ? -
AppleWorks 6.2.9 on OSX 10.4.6 imbedded images print VERY badly
Ever since my upgrade from an older version (don't remember which) of AppleWorks on OSX 10.2.x - in that arrangement all was well, now with AW 6.2.9 and OSX 10.4.6 every image I import by any means into an AW document of any type zooms on the screen just fine, very detailed, but prints VERY badly.
"Very badly" can be defined as, any text which is part of the image is blocky and becomes almost unreadable; all elements of the image blur at every edge - basically, look at a picture through an unfocused lens and you'll get the idea.
Any other application prints crystal clear using the same image files that AW messes up. I used to use AW to make my business letterhead, business cards, logos, media labels, etc. Now I'm doing all that by coding directly in PostScript because AW won't print nice copy.
I've been trying to find any settings in AW prefs regarding aliasing, smoothing, dithering, you name it, and nothing I've tried makes any difference.
Any ideas where to go to tell AW to play nice with the printer like it's ancestors used to?
Again, EVERY other application prints perfectly, so the printer, driver, cabling, etc cannot be the issue. Only when (and everytime) AW gets involved does printing get munged.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer me.
iBook x 2 = G4 + G3 Mac OS X (10.4.6) lots of pro audio packages....Thanks to all who answered.
I'm thinking it would have been nice of Apple to let us know that they were going to change something as wide-ranging as how images are imported into AW documents. As was mentioned by Yvan, the 72dpi limit was apparently introduced with AW6. Thanks for the clarification, also. I suspected that the OS (10.4.6 for me) and drivers were clean; since every other app I have prints perfectly. The very same files used to import into AW(older) and print fine just as they were on the older system.
Peggy, yes, most of the images in question were .tiff and .jpg formats, usually from a scan or a conversion from a .ps or .eps into a .jpg or .tiff.
Not being a graphic or visual guy (audio yes, but not graphics...), I had no idea what most of the plethora of image types offered by the "save as..." dialog were about, and had no time to try them all one by one. PICT format is fairly deep into the list, so it would've taken me a while to explore the possibilities that far.
But thank you Peggy, using Preview to convert to PICT format lets me import the images I need and prints them acceptably. I still think raw Postscript is a bit cleaner yet, but for most of my needs the conversion to PICT is so far solving the problem. And if anyone wonders, yes I really do code stuff by hand directly in Postscript. And Perl, and C, and Prolog, and.... So good of OSX to include my favorite editor, emacs! (Old Unix admins never die - we just spawn child processes...or fork and exec - take your pick!
Hope, interesting that your Intel-based machine had such a problem from the start. Even more interesting that a reload fixed it. Curious what may have been/not been installed in the original factory load.... Glad I'm still on PowerPC architecture - time-tested base of reliability there.
I did look at the tip from Sharon Joiner (linked by Yvan), but compared to Peggy's suggestion, Sharon's tip seems a bit more involved than it needs to be - at least for my needs.
Again, thank you to everyone.
