Software turns off mic inp

I have an Audigy 4 pro with the external breakout box and am using XP PRO.
Last night me and my friends started playing "Left 4 Dead" online using Teamspeak or Steam's in game voice chat. (The following problem occurs in either situation.)? The game keeps turning my mike off in the "Recording Control" mixer screen after a random period of time. I have to keep bouncing back to Windows and click the box back on under the Line-in /Mic slider. Some of the other players with Sound Blaster products were also having a similar problem.
I wiped the sound drivers and did a clean install and everything seems to work fine except for this recurring problem. This is definately a software issue.
I've also experienced the annoying "What U Hear" echo problem in the past when using a headset but have managed to solve that for the most part through the forums. Other game software still continues to randomly select "What U Hear" and I have to constantly mess with this settiing. I do not do any sound recording on my computer so I don't understand why these settings are constantly being altered. ?
Is there a way to lock the mixer settings so other programs are not able to turn inputs etc. on and off all the time.
Thanks.

Hey Katman,
Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.
Appreciate it.

Since download of Firefox Hello desktop & laptop both on Windows 7 are very slow even after refresh, download history removed and anti virus software turned off

Since download of Firefox Hello my home desktop & laptop, both on Windows 7, are very slow to open. I have refreshed firefox, removed download history and turned off the anti virus software in extensions. All the plugins are up to date. Can we revert back to Firefox without Firefox Hello?

Firefox Hello is simply a wrapper for technology already in Firefox, it doesn't negatively impact performance if you aren't using it. Are you saying that your entire computer is slow or just Firefox?

Turn Off Mic on Apple In-Ear Headphones

I finally received the New In-Ear headphones with Microphone for my touch.
After waiting so long for Amazon to ship them, I was worried about the sound quality from all the negative reviews.
The sound is great, BUT there is no way to turn off the microphone, so I can actually hear my breathing! If the cord is rustled at all, the microphone amplifies the noise to the headphones.
So if I keep PERFECTLY STILL, I have no complaints about sound quality, not even the bass.
It seems none of the reviewers have realized the microphone is amplifying every little sound and movement.
Is there any way to turn the microphone off when it's not needed?
Please?

Oh I don't think it's the Mic. If ya talk into it (the mic) it does not amplify your voice does it? No, I don't think it will. If ya just plug your ears shut with your fingers you will get the same sound situation as the earplugs are creating.
There has been a lot of discussion about the "noise" on the new headphones. It comes from the cord itself. And it's doing just what those old "cup with string walkie talkies" did when we (I) were kids. Every movement is being sent/vibrated up the cord to your well closed ears and it's just loud because your ears are shut. I ate some hard pretzels the other night with my earphones in and almost blew my eardrums out from the crushing sound. But it WAS NOT coming from the mic. This of course is my opinion and two cents worth.

Software turn off doesnt work

Very often, when I want do shut down my new macbook pro by using the command "shut down" in the apple menu, it doesn't turn off. My background image stays there, the mouse pointer is there and moveable, but there is no dock anymore and the computer doesnt react anymore. only pushing the turn off button at the laptop itself will shut down the system completely. anyone the same problems? is it a known bug?
thanx

Not a bug but sounds like directory problem. Boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility. If DU cannot repair the disk you may need a stronger disk repair utility like DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory. The other option is an erase and install.

How to turn off mic so that sound will come out

So when my wife turns her volume up its says microphone how do I fix that if there is no microphone in

Are you refering to the messages that appear when accessing secured sites? In that case the following Apple document may explain a bit more (and I believe you cannot turn off that behaviour) :

Virus Software Turned Off & Internet Connection Problem

My laptop has been slowing down, but it was fine otherwise. A few days ago, I turned it on and received warning messages from the HP Action Center and HP Support Center that my Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software was no longer on. I never turned them off and they've been working fine for 6 months or so, so it's not like I just installed them recently. Since the problem started, I've tried several times to turn them back on, but the computer just doesn't do anything. It asks if I trust Kaspersky and want to run the app, I click on yes, and then nothing happens. I've also tried to run the software by using the Kaspersky desktop icon, but that won't do anything either. The same time that this problem occurred, I also lost my ability to fully connect to the internet (DSL connection). I can get to the Firefox homepage, but whenever I try to get to any other website, even simple ones like Google, nothing happens. I've tried everything I can think of to fix these problems (except for using the refresh/restore option, which I'd like to avoid if possible). I've power-cycled the modem, run diagnostics and network checks, and I installed MalwareBytes from a USB drive and ran that scan, but it didn't find any problems. At the same time that these other problems began, I did see a brief notice that said that a Windows update failed, but I don't know if that caused these other issues or if it just failed because the other issues prevented the update. Kaspersky's tech support has not been very helpful. Does anyone have any suggestions? Keep in mind that I can't access the internet from the affected computer, so I can't download anything directly to it. Thanks in advance for your help.

ITunes will not open my music CDs when I place them in the DVD drive. I am using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with AV software turned off. No luck. Cannot upload my music CDs to iTunes library. Any ideas?

Using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes, the software will not recognize my music CDs when inserted in my DVD drive. I put a CD in the drive and nothing happens. iTunes does not have a "start" button, or some menu option to tell it to begin copying music to the library, so it just sits there. When I first installed iTunes, it would open the CDs, but I would get an error message after the first track started to transfer. Now, after a coupel uninstalls, disc cleanup, etc., nothing happens when I insert the CD. I am lost here and about to sell my new Ipod Classic because it is useless to me. Maybe I'm just too old to own something like this? Any (serious) suggestions would be appreciated.

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?). I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something).
It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to. (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath. When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen. So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
I have tried to turn it off, with no luck. I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

HT5362 How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates? 'App Store' doesn't show in the list of notification apps. I want the background checks for updates, just not the notifications.

How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?
THANKS COMMUNITY!

Settings > Notification Center > Mail > Select the mail account (if more than one) > Alert Sound > None

IPhone 4S latest software keeps turning off

My iPhone 4S was overheating a week or so ago, I was holding it and it got awfully hot so I put it down and left it for a few hours.
A day ago, it turned itself off out of nowhere, I turned it back on and when I went to use it, it would keep turning off and on and freezing,
Finally today it wont turn on, it gets to the start up part (black with white apple logo) and freezes and wont get any further.
Help?

Hey,
Thanks but all ready tried that.
I took it to apple and its a problem with the latest software update, it wouldn't even let apple run a diagnostics.. It fried the whole thing lol. Caused from the battery so be sure to check your battery guys :)

When installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?

when installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall? Is it necessary on a Mac to do so? I come from the Windows world and am still in the learning curve on the Mac.

Correct. I have not installed ANY other software for anti-virus, etc. I want to install a Synch app for my HTC phone to sych with MS Outlook 2011 installed on my Mac. HTC will not synch with it otherwise. That was really the basis for my question....if installing a non Apple app can be done without messing with factory settings on the Mac. In Windows I remember that I needed to disable Norton and the Firewall in order for installation to occur.
Thanks.
