Solved Crackling Problem in Windows 7 (SB 24-bit USB External, HP Pavilion dv6 1124-ca laptop).

I'm one of many users who has had problems with the sound crackling problem with their sound card after upgrading to Windows 7.
I was previously on Windows Vista running 5. with 24-bit, 96000Hz sample rate Studio Quality with no problems at all. When I upgraded to Windows 7 RC, Windows was able to automatically find a driver for my external USB sound card, but when playing music, I always got a constant crackling sound coming from the speakers while trying to put the card in anything above 2. or and when putting it in 24-bit 96000Hz, the crackling only got worse. Installing the Beta drivers on the Creative site didn't work either... still had the crackling. I searched around for the past several months for solutions to no avail.
Then today, I was surfing the HP website (I have a HP Pavilion dv6 24-ca laptop) to see if they had added Windows 7 drivers to their support site and they did... and so I started downloading all available Windows 7 drivers for my specific laptop. When I first installed Windows 7 RC, it had installed it's own drivers for everything (on-board sound etc.). After replacing the Windows 7 installed "High Definition Audio Device" drivers with the HP supplied "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" drivers... I'm not sure if the on board sound driver has anything at all to do with the crackling on the Soundblaster but I replaced the drivers anyway. I also installed another driver called "AMD USB Filter" that was supplied by the HP website for Windows 7 which is another driver that I thought might help with the problem. Other drivers installed were "ENE CIR Reciever Driver" and "Realtek Card Reader Driver" but those have nothing to do with the sound card.
After installing the drivers from the HP website, I no longer get the crackling from the speakers when playing in 5.. I am also now able to select 24-bit 96000Hz sample rate without crackling as well I am very happy to have finally solved the problem. So to anyone having similar problems, I suggest you check out your manufacturers website to see if they have any drivers available for you... I have a feeling the AMD USB Filter is what solved the problem... but who knows.
Hope this helps other HP users!

Try this video let me know if it helps you out.

If you can hear the music through the speakers but not the headphones I would suggest using an AUX cable because seems the sound isn't being transmitted over.
Just a friendly note here. Don't buy the wireless turtle beaches I have the x32s and I'm continuously buying batteries !

Windows 7 64 bit USB external hard drives lose its connection and stops working.

This is a very serious error for users of WIN 7 64 bit only.
I have read hundreds of posts about this problem an not a word about it from MS.
We have tested this problem on four different computers and three different external hard drives using Win 7 Ultimate.
Even tried the RTM version.
If you connect "Any brand" external USB hard drive to "Any brand of computer" using Win 7 (64 bit only) and try to copy a large file like a movie from the internal drive to the external USB drive it loses the connection to the USB.
We even reverted back to Vista 64 bit on two computers for testing but Vista 64 works fine.
This occurs on all computers with different USB drives.
We have tried all the suggestions posted and none work.
It seems from all the posts that other USB devices are also having similar problems with the 64 bit.
Below is a more about this problem.
http://windows7tipsonline.com/USB_Problem.htm
If anyone knows how to resolve this please post a reply here.
Thanks

The link only refers to USB problems with nVidia chips, so it's not a universal problem. I have Win 7 x64 RTM installed and I just transfered 2 4GB DVD files and 1 18GB backup file from my internal SATA drive to my external USB drive
with no problems - no time-out!
<text>Since nVidia chipsets seem to be the culprit, nVidia and the motherboard manufacturers need to be told about the problem so that nVidia can correct the problem and not
Microsoft. If it's a nVidia chipset driver/software problem,
Microsoft is not going to fix anything since it's not a universal problem.</text>
I think this answer is a smoke screen, here's why. The issue of a USB HDD losing its connection AND not being recognized on a booting Win 7 x64 in any of its incarnations is a Microsoft issue, not nVidia. I have three PCs (actually 4 but one is in storage so
doesn't count) to see firsthand what happens with this issue. One, is a maxed out Toshiba with Windows Pro x64. Every now and then, it asks to format any number of my USB drives. I have Seagates, Iomegas, Western Digitals, and an OLD Maxtor. The Toshiba OS
will from time to time claim the Iomega and WD drives need formatting or have a wrong parameter etc. It doesn't do this with the Seagates or Maxtor. does the Tosh have nVidia chipsets? Yes. OK, now I attach these dives to my Dell Inspiron run by Windows Vista
Home Basic and intel Graphic Chip. The HDDs fire up right away. OK, I stick them into the ASUS G75VW-RS72, a DTR notebook on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. The machine has nVidia chipsets. Sometimes the HDDs fire up right away (Maxtor is never a problem), sometimes
they don't. What do I do? Unplug, replug-sometimes works sometimes not. Turn off the computer, turn it back on-sometimes works sometimes not. Unplug and put into another USB port-sometimes works sometimes not. Unplug and leave unplugged for anywhere
from 10 seconds to half an hour-sometimes works sometimes not. Switched to different external enlosure or the same or different brand-sometimes works sometimes not. Remove the HDD and put into a NetStar portable dock with its own power supply(http://www.vantecusa.com/en/product/view_detail/295).
Result? The computers NEVER, not EVER, even ONCE demonstrated an issue with the drive. Other times, I remove the HDD and employ a converter (http://www.sabrent.com/category/hard-drive-enclosures/USB-DSC5/). Result? The computers NEVER, not EVER, even ONCE
demonstrated an issue with the drive. So I think the evidence suggests Windows is finicky and Microsoft is passing the buck on this.

Lightroom 3.2 Installation Problem on Windows 7 64-bit

Lightroom 3.2 Installation Problem on Windows 7 64-bit
I can't install Lightroom 3.2 (German) on my computer (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit).
While copying the extracted program files the following error message appears:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {6435B7C0-E0C8-3EA2-91AE-7640034EAFCE}. HRESULT: 0x80070002.
I found out that other users had the same problem, and couldn't find a solution.
Perhaps it is a Microsoft .NET Framework related problem. But after installing .NET Framework 4 nothing changed.
Thanks for ideas to solve the problem.

Thanks for your advice, Mr. McLion.
I downloaded the 3.4.1 version and started the installation as administrator. Unfortunately the same error message occured again.
Then I tried to install the 32-bit version (although I prefer a 64-bit program on a 64-bit operating system). A similar error message appeared at the same point of installation progress, but with another combination of numbers and letters in brackets.

This is a common question in the Forum. A simple search of the forum and you would have found that Oracle Developers Suite 10g R2 (version 10.1.2.0.2) is not supported on Windows 7 64-bit. However, you would have also found a couple of threads where people have made this work.
Now i have installed manually JInitiator 1.3.1.26 (32-bit) and also copy the jvm.dll file in the desire folder. Don't do this! This is a complete HACK of the OS and there is no guaruntee that this will work and more importantly this could screw-up your OS.
By default, Forms 10g is configured to use the Oracle Jinitiator because this was the Java Runtime Oracle was using at the time. Now, however, Oracle has changed directions and has adopted the standard Java Runtime. Therefore, you must reconfigure Forms 10g to use the Java Runtime Plug-In (JPI) on Windows 7. With Windows XP you did not need to do this. Take a look at Forms: How to Configure Forms Builder to run forms locally for detailed steps on reconfiguring Forms 10g.
@937097
I had the same problem in my computer, and the guys from systems department solved the problem installing Windows XP SP3.thy triend to install Forms10 with Windows 7 64bits, but they said it can't be done. >
I disagree with your "Systems Department". I have Forms 10g installed and running quite well on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. There are a few pre-installation steps you must take to install Forms 10g, but it can be done. At the very least, your Systems Department staff could have installed Windows XP Mode for Windows 7. Take a look at:
Windows XP Mode - Windows 7 Features
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
Download Windows XP Mode
I've tested Forms 10g with XP Mode and it works fine there as well, but I prefer not to deal with the overhead of the Virtual Machine.
To properly install Forms 10g R2 on Windows 7 you must first have Windows 7 Professional or higher. Then follow these steps:
1. Install Java Runtime 1.6.0_33 (32-bit).
2. Change Windows Virtual Memory from System Managed to a specific amount (2048mb Initial size, 4096mb Max). The Oracle installer can't detect VM settings if they are system managed. You will need to restart your computer after making this change. Once you have completed the installation, you can change the settings back to system managed.
3. Right-Click the setup.exe and select properties. Select the Compatibility tab and click "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)".
4. Run the installer.
Once complete, review the document I linked above for configuring Forms to run locally from the Forms Builder.
Hope this helps,

Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit)

First of all my windows is not genuine, but on my friend's desktop oracle download and installation worked fine, he chose "create and configure database" options, and it works very well on his desktop, though his windows is also illegitimate. In my case, when I select "Create and configure database" option and pressed 'next",
(Go to my blog to see it with snapshots: Computer Science: Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit))
it asks to select class, I select "Desktop class" and pressed "next". The moment I pressed "next", the whole setup thing disappeared like it was never started. I searched for all possible reasons for why its not getting installed on my laptop, I used registry cleaner s/w, deleted 25 GB of data to create free space if it were the problem, increased the virtual memory to increase the space for RAM, I did almost everything to get this setup working, but I found no success with the "Create and Configure database" option
and
then
I chose a "database software only" option and chose to store in a folder w/o spaces. This way, I got database s/w only and then later I found "Database configuration Assistant (DBCA)" from windows START button and clicked to create and configure database manually. The steps are pretty much interactive and doesn't involve much brainstorming.
The values I filled for
1) Global Database Name : orcl
2) System Identifier : orcl
3) I chose common password for both SYS and SYSTEM
4) while on Enterprise Manager Configuration step, It asked me to create and configure listener in oracle home, so for that too, I typed "netca" in windows START menu and clicked it. There I added a listener.
5) I chose a Storage area which was the Oracle-home itself i.e. where our installation files goes , in my case it is : C:\oracle_base\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oradata
6) Then after few more nitty-gritty clicks, we are set to go !
Finally to write SQL code and to create your first TABLE , type "sqlplus" in windows "START" menu and click it when it appears. A command-prompt like window appears , which will ask you for username and password, so here they are :
Username : sys/ as sysdba
Password : (its the one you created in step 3 stated above )
After this you are ready to write your first SQL command.

Is this your solution to your original post at Oracle database 11g release 2 installation on windows 7 (64-bit) ?
Pl be aware that you should not create any custom objects in SYS or SYSTEM schema - you should create any such objects in a separate custom schema.

TS3918 I am experiencing this problem on Windows 7 64 bit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am experiencing aniTunes reinstall problem on Windows 7 64 bit. I have uninstalled the iTunes product and reinstalled 11.02 for windows 7 64 bit but can't get iTunes going again. The first error message I get is: "The file "iTunes Libirary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". The next error message I get is: "There is a problem sending the command to the program." Any suggestions on what to do next would be appreciated. ( I would have posted this in Windows area had I been given a choice.)

I believe that message can sometimes be a sign of a corrupt library file, unless of course you've tried to downgrade to an older build of iTunes. Restore it as described in this post.

IPhone 3GS SYnc problems with Windows 7 64 Bit

I am having sync problems with windows 7 64 Bit.
The iPhone syncs a few tracks then hangs, a few minutes later itunes tells me the iphone has timed out.
Anyone have any ideas about this. I have tried different USB ports, cleaned the apple USB cable contacts with Servisol, restored the iPhone and reinstalled itunes.
iPhone and iTunes are latest versions.
Thanks
Joe

"Try this connect the iPhone, let the mtp driver installation fail, then go into the device manager and uninstall the unknown mtp device. If you then scan for new hardware from the device manager it should recognize the iPhone & update the driver."
Ok here's what I did:
1) Connect the iPhone (iTunes had been installed)
2) No MTP driver installation is happening as Windows detects iPhone successfully
3) Open Device Manager
4) There seems to be 2 drivers for iPhone that are active now, although I still can't see which one is the MPT driver you're referring to.
One of them sits under Portable Devices: "Apple iPhone". If I view the details of this driver, it lists the following files:
- C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\UMDF\WpdMtpDr.dll
- C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\winusb.sys
- C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WUDFRd.sys
- C:\Windows\system32\WpdMtp.dll
- C:\Windows\system32\WpdMtpUS.dll
The other one sits under Universal Serial Bus controllers: "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". And as indicated by Joe above, it lists the following files when I view the Details:
- C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\usbaapl64.sys
- C:\Windows\system32\usbaaplrc.dll

Contribute CS4 and CS5 file transfer (publish) problem on Windows 7 64 bit

Have a problem with Contribute CS5 and CS4 on Windows 7 64 bit where upon editing a webiste for example to add a new page (or edit an existing one) and then clicking on "publish" a blank page appears on the website. To explain this further, If i make the required changes to the page and select the option to publish the file later then the file wirtten to the PC appears to be ok and has all the changes, but as soon as I publish it, only a blank page appears on the web server. ie the upload (ftp) process does happen but the content of the page is being stripped out somewhere during the filt transfer process.
I have editied the same site with CS4 on windows XP without any problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thank you
Chris

I seem to have solved the issue by downloading this install file

which installs successfully.

VGA beamer problems with Windows 7 64-bit enterprise on MacBook Air 2012

For us the following problem is solved now! It might help other people with the same problems.
At our institute we have two new MacBook Airs 5.2 (2012) running Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise under Boot Camp.
They both cannot used for Windows-presentations with VGA beamers by using the mini-DP-to-VGA adapter (with Mac OS X 10.7 it just works fine). First of all, the suggestions from Apple phone support were not of any help at all (try PRAM reset, try SMC reset, ...). We tried an external USB-3.0-graphics adapter made by SUNIX (it failed, probably since Apple blocks other graphic cards in the EFI).
Then we saw the following article, which describes the same problems with a Dell XPS, but also using the Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter:
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=reviews/dell-xp-mini-displayport-projector-fi x
We finally bought a "Mini-DisplayPort to VGA Active Video Adapter" from StarTech.com (product ID: MDP2VGAW) ...
AND IT WORKS!
Quintessence: Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter is too crappy for the (probably always behind) Windows.

Hello again,
After speaking to an Apple Genius, it seems the solution was to update the firmware for the Cinema Display. Since I have done this, the monitor appears to behave better.

Install problem on Windows 7 64-bit

Hello all,
I am attempting to install Adobe Reader on a new installation of Windows 7 64-bit. When I run the setup file (AdbeRdr920_en_US.exe) the installer starts, but the progress bar never gets beyond 10.93%. It just hangs there. The text above the progress bar says "Processing Adobe Reader 9.2". I've tried downloading the installer again, and running the installer as Administrator, to no avail. Does anyone have any insight into this issue? Thanks in advance.

I seem to have solved the issue by downloading this install file
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.2/enu/AdbeRdr920_en_US.exe
which installs successfully.

CS3 Master collection installation problem on Windows 7 64 bit

Hi Guys
Please can you advise
I am encountering problems with the installation of CS3 Master Collection on Windows 7 64 bit, initially my hard drive crashed and performed a dump.
Subsequent attempts to install CS 3 has resulted in failure to install 12 components, essentially the individual software products including photoshop, encore, illustrator etc.
I have re-performed the installation several times with the same installation error.
I believe CS3 to be compatible with Windows 7 64 bit
Any thoughts, guidance on how to rectify the problem and achieve successful installation.
I do have Adobe Reader X and Flash player X already installed. I assume these should not cause an issue with the CS3 installation
Thxs in anticipation

Na, you have it all backwards. CS3 is neithe officially tested nor endorsed, certified or supported on W7. Many users still use it succsfully, but there ae no guarantees whatsoever. Furthermore using Acrobat X ma exactly be the problem due to certain PDF components being shared acoss apps and newer versions not being compatible with the old installer. Therefore removing those parts and reinstlling them later is advisable. Beyond hee's a procedure that should work:
- use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool
- install CS3
- uninstall CS3 via the Add or Remove Programs system control panel
- install CS3 again
This convoluted procedure is necessary due to bugs in the installer which otherwise prevent things from working.

Problem installing Windows 7 64-bit on late 2013 iMac 27"

Is Windows 7 64-bit compatible with this computer?
Hardware and software:
• Late 2013 iMac 27", 3.5 GHz I7, 16 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive (no fusion drive)
• Mac OS 10.9.1
• USB thumb drive
• Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.0
• Windows 7 64-bit install disk iso image downloaded from Microsoft
Install steps:
1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 install (from iso image) and Apple Support Software (creates WININSTALL USB drive)
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create 50 GB Windows partition on iMac internal drive and start Windows install
3. Complete initial install steps until given option to select install partition
4. Select 50 GB partition. Error message that partition is not formatted correctly. Use Advance Options to format (presumably to NTFS)
5. Select 50 GB partition again and click "Next"
6. Get error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
7. Install quits at this point
I have successfully installed Win 7 on another computer (2010 Mac Pro) using these steps. I also tried installation on the iMac using an iso image created from my original Win 7 64-bit install disk, with the same installation error as above.
I'm wondering if Windows 7 and/or Boot Camp is compatible with this iMac. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I am awaiting delivery on the exact model you have and have been researching how much trouble it will be to put 64 bit windows 7 ultimate on my machine when it gets here. I'm not pleased at what I've been reading so far. I have not seen the two other posts but yours is enough to concern me.
Have you also seen that 10.9.1 update may be responsible for this? I've seen where 10.9 caused some problems with the bootcamp app but then the process was completely hosed with the 10.9.1 update. Are you seeing this as well?
Being a life-long mac dude, it pains me when their stuff just doesn't work because it usually just does. ****, that's why I started on a mac in the first place.
The support site says that they come with 90 days of complimentary support. Is this not an issue they should be responsible for addressing via support? Or is that just one long wait on hold waiting to talk to somebody that won't consider this a pure apple issue?
I was also curious if your install .iso contains both 32 and 64 bit versions?
