Sound broken since upgrade from 2.6.29

I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the multimedia forum. Anyway...
I have an Echo Audio Mia-midi soundcard and sound hasn't been working properly for me since upgrading from 2.6.29. Both 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 share the same issue and reverting to 2.6.29 always solves the problem. It seems some driver infrastructure has changed, because the two "Line out" level meters are not available in alsamixer anymore. Instead I have VU-meters for front, rear, center, woofer and side. These can't be set however, and seem to have no impact on the output (they are sometimes set to 100% and sometimes to 0%, but output is silent in both cases).
Running echomixer (an Echo Audio specific mixer in alsa-tools) and playing sound shows that there is sound playing at full volume at the subdevice channels, but the "final" output is silent, even though all output channels are set at their proper values, including the output mixer. Raising the monitor mixer, effectively forwarding the input channels to the output works as it should, so as far as I can tell, the issue concerns the software/driver output to the soundcard.
I've tried everything I can think of to solve this, but nothing seems to help. I've run an alsa debug script in both 2.6.29 and 2.6.31, but the only difference worth noting that I can find is connected to the line out level meters. In 2.6.29:
Simple mixer control 'Line',0
Capabilities: pvolume
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right - Rear Left - Rear Right
Limits: Playback -128 - 6
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 0 [96%] [0.00dB]
Front Right: Playback 0 [96%] [0.00dB]
Rear Left: Playback 0 [96%] [0.00dB]
Rear Right: Playback 0 [96%] [0.00dB]
state.Mia {
control.1 {
comment.access 'read write'
comment.type INTEGER
comment.count 4
comment.range '-128 - 6'
comment.dbmin -12800
comment.dbmax 600
iface MIXER
name 'Line Playback Volume'
value.0 0
value.1 0
value.2 0
value.3 0
Both of these parts are missing from the output in 2.6.31.
I don't know what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight,Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight, Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

If you have an external drive with an OS X Time Machine backup, then do restore of your last backup. If you have an external drive with a bootable clone of your previous system, you can boot to that clone and re-clone the OS X on your external drive back to your Mac's internal drive.
If you do not have either of these available, then the reverting/restoring process becomes much more complicated and involves purchasing an external drive and backing up your current system to that drive, then erasing, reformatting your hard drive and now your only options to installng an OS X version is doing a clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, then upgrading, again, to either OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for download and Apple has not made OS X 10.9 Mavericks available in any other form to be able to redownload and install.
Maybe it would be better to explain in detail your issues with Yosemite to see if any of us here can help you with your difficulties.
I am not running or using Yosemite, so I cannot help you with your Yosemite issues,
There are others here who can help you with Yosemite.
Good Luck.

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

Since upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, when I login 1 of 2 disk images I have set to open on login does not mount.

Since upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, when I login 1 of 2 disk images I have set to open on login does not mount. It worked under Lion. Stickies opens just fine. The disk images are sparse disk bundles. Are there any suggested remedies? I have already tried repairing permissions. One interesting thing is that previously in LIon, the disk images were just sparse images, not sparse bundles. I switched to bundles after reading that Time Machine backups of sparse bundles would not copy the entire image, only the changed parts. The sprase images are for sharing of photo and iTUnes libraries among multiple family member on the same computer.

If it is working as expected, what do you need with the old backup?
If you want to be able to go back to where you were prior to an upgrade, isolate that backup and don't use it again. As far as Time Machine can tell, the whole drive changed.
The link I posted contains probably everything that anybody knows about Time Machine and how to manipulate it to work as you would like as opposed to how it was designed to work. There are FAQs to continue a backup as opposed to starting fresh, but I wouldn't recommend it for the reasons above. Pondini probably doesn't, either.
If you are going to do a wholesale upgrade of the OS, I would create a bootable clone using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. A bootable clone on an external drive can have you back up and running instantly if the upgrade fails in any way. If the upgrade goes fine, store it away in case you find the current system isn't to your liking.

Sound glitches after upgrading from win 2000 to win

Hello!
I have this sound card since 2 years and never had any problems... but since I've upgraded from windows 2000 to windows xp, there's a lot of glitches in the sound coming from the card (it happens with all softwares I use). I'm using a sound blaster audigy 2 nx (latest drivers) on a P4 2GHz with 52 Mb Ram. Thanks in advance!

What version of the Oracle ODBC driver are you using? 8.01 is not a driver version-- it should be something like 8.1.7.x.y (assuming you're using one of the 8.1.7 Oracle ODBC drivers).
Since Oracle desupported the 8.1.7 database almost a year ago, do you have the option of upgrading the Oracle client to a supported release (probably 9.2 in your case)?
Unfortunately, I don't know what your particular problem is, but I have certainly seen problems mixing the latest and greatest versions of applications with older versions of the Oracle client.

Since upgrade from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 the conversations in Outlook do not group by subject

Hi Microsoft,
Since we have upgraded from Exchange 2007 to 2013 users complain their conversations in Outlook are no longer grouped based on the subject of an e-mail. I looks like Outlook uses other message properties for grouping e-mails in a conversation.
I have investigated all the forum topics and see that with exchange 2010 there is support added for the use of conversation-ID's. However the functionality to automatically group e-mails with the same subject in one conversation in Outlook is gone!
I would like to know if there is a fix to implement so that some our users get this functionality back. For Example: Let the exchange server not generate conversation-ID's and message-ID's for certain users.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Totally correct!
If you don't plan to maintain Outlook then you plan to fail :(

[SOLVED] Another "Sound broken after upgrade" thread

Hi. My sound stopped working at some point, probably after an upgrade. I've seen lot's of posts about this in the last month, but nothing is helping. My guess is that OSS is screwing with ALSA. Here is what it says in my pacman log.
Running OSS update script...
[2011-12-05 13:34]
[2011-12-05 13:34] -------------------------------------------------------------
[2011-12-05 13:34] Open Sound System was updated. Now you should restart the
[2011-12-05 13:34] daemon by running /etc/rc.d/oss restart.
[2011-12-05 13:34]
[2011-12-05 13:34] Please note that OSS stores some of its configuration files
[2011-12-05 13:34] at /usr/lib/oss. If you are upgrading from an older OSS
[2011-12-05 13:34] release and it doesn't work properly, try removing that
[2011-12-05 13:34] directory and reinstall this package.
[2011-12-05 13:34] -------------------------------------------------------------
[2011-12-05 13:34] upgraded oss (4.2_2005-1 -> 4.2_2005-2)
I tried removing the directory and reinstalling oss, but that didn't work. I also tried removing oss altogether, but pacman says that lib32-libflashsupport: requires oss. So I'm not sure what to do. I was trying this
http://wiki.archbang.org/index.php?titl … _with_Alsa
but I got the dependency conflict with libflashsupport.
What I want to do is force remove oss via pacman -Rf oss, then install the alsa-oss emulator, but I'm not sure if that will break something else.
I'm also willing to just wait and see if the next kernel update will fix it, if that doesn't take too long. I don't really use sound very often anyway, but I still want it to work. I'm running this kernel
Linux version 3.1.5-1-ARCH (tobias@T-POWA-LX) (gcc version 4.6.2 20111125 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 10 14:43:09 CET 2011
Thanks for any help.

Sorry for bumping this rather useless post. But I just wanted to mention that the problem is fixed. What I did was to follow the link
http://wiki.archbang.org/index.php?titl … _with_Alsa
(but I don't know that even has anything to do with the solution, because the sound didn't work after doing this.)
But then, just today, there was a kernel upgrade, and now the sound works. Big thanks to the arch team.

Since upgradeing from firefox 11 firefox 14 wont translate simplified chinese

when I was using Firefox 11 and all updates in just the 11 series when i used to go to sites like postal tracking from china (17track.net) it is part English and part Chinese. The Chinese parts were automatically translated to English. Since upgrading to Firefox 14 it wont translate the simplified Chinese even when using add on translators. Why was this not a problem for ff 11 and how can i fix this in ff 14.

Problem since upgrading from LR 3.3 to 3.4

Since upgrading to LR 3.4 I get an error massage saying LR has to close 2 - 3 time a session. On one occassion while importing files from a card LR crashed and XP Home (SP3) restarted.
On each occasion the Application Event log reports this:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Application Error
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: 4/29/2011
Time: 6:28:05 PM
User: N/A
Computer: BLOTHIAN
Description:
Faulting application lightroom.exe, version 3.4.0.10, faulting module <...> they appear to be limited to these two modules:
msvcr100.dll, version 10.0.30319.1, fault address 0x0008d635.
ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.6055, fault address 0x0000100b.
Any thoughts?

Digging a bit deeper in the events viewer of Windows 7 the "Faulting module path" points to the file MSVCR100.dll (version 10.0.30319.1) inside the System32 directory of the Windows 7 installation. Since the version of Lightroom is the 64bit version, it should point to SysWOW64.
Anyway, the crash happens only on Windows 7 64bit with the 64bit Lighroom version. An installation of Lightroom on a old 32bit XP SP3 machine works without trouble.
EDIT: Switching back to Lightroom 3.3 and the continues crashes are gone. Resolved. Let's wait for LR 3.5.

Rendering of Arabic/Transliteration broken since upgrade to 29

Hello,
Mozilla Firefox 29.0.0 - 29.0.1, MacOS X 10.9.2
Problem: Arabic fonts (Lateef, Sheherazade) as well as transliteration Arabic > Latin is broken since update to 29. They were fine before. This happens when loading pages from a database. The protocol uses 'mixed content' and there seems to have been an update in Firefox's handling of such content. However, even explicitly unblocking such content doesn't solve the problem (apparently, one has to deblock every single page or is there an option for an entire domain? Otherwise, this is a pain in the neck and completely impractical). Firefox 'chooses' to select encoding seemingly at random: View > Character Encoding > Unicode/Western. Unfortunately, this version of Firefox scratched the possibility to select default encoding.
Now, the pages loaded do not declare their encoding. However, this was not a problem because FF would use Unicode (UTF-8) by default. Setting instead "Default for Current Locale" is obviously useless. That's where the problem seems to be. Why was the plain default option changed so that we have no longer access to it? As you will understand in mixed environments (using a variety of languages and keyboard layouts), 'default locale' is pointless. Any suggestions are most welcome.

FredMcD. Thank you for the hints. I'm sure they help in most cases. It didn't solve my problem though. Normal websites work actually quite well, it's just the internal ones that have this problem.
cor-el. Thank you also for your hints. I checked and I'm pretty sure that it's not a corrupt font. The problem, as I've mentioned, is that the server does not declare its encoding. This wasn't a problem as long as UFT-8 could be declared as fall-back. Now, as I've written, there is only the option 'Default for Current Locale' which doesn't help. I suppose either Mozilla puts back the older option or we have to do something here. Would love to post link but I'm not sure there is general access to our servers (probably not) but I'll ask.
I attached an exampled of how the 'garbled' text looks. It's more than garbled there just no font 'resolution'.
Thank you both again for taking the time to give advice. I think your hints will come in useful in general use of Firefox.

Bluetooth and sound problem since upgrading to 10.9.1

Since upgrading to 10.9.1 I often have an issue with losing my sound. The only way I can restore it is to restart. It gets annoying to have to keep doing that. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Also, when I connect to my bluetooth speaker I have no sound (restarting the computer doesn't resolve this).

Addendum to my previous question....the problem started when I upgraded to Mavericks - not just the 10.9.1 upgrade. Can anyone help?

No 'Line input' option in sound prefs after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

I have connected guitars and mics using Garageband 3 without a problem, until upgrading from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8.
I'm not getting sound from the guitar apart from feedback when I plug it in to the audio line-in port on my iMac G5.
I have read many of the questions and comments in the relevant forums all pointing to selecting the line-in option of the input tab in the sound preferences window.
I only have the 'internal mic' appearing in that window now.
I've checked that the cables are working correctly on a guitar amp and are fine.
So not sure why I don't get the 'Line-in' option anymore.
Are there any patches/updates to cure this problem, or would updating to Garageband 9 cure the problem?
Thanks,
Mick

Yes, checked the 'Audio MIDI Setup' utility and can select Line-in from there.
All working fine now!
Thanks very much for your help.

Sharepoint 2013 search broken after upgrade from 2013 foundation to 2013 ent.

Hello
I have tried many of the suggestions that I have found in the forums for this issue but non have worked as of yet.
I have sharepoint 2013 sp1 running on server 2012 R2 connected to SQL 2012 DB, which was upgrade from SharePoint foundation 2013. Everything is working with the exception of the search. the errors are below.
Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (1d094485-eab9-458d-a363-4b5e8704048f).

For some reason this is using the farm account which is not the account used for the search service but has full access to the sites and databases. So I'm not sure what or where it is getting an access denied error. Is there any way to find what it is trying
to access? BTW I have disabled the loopback check, verified it has correct access to %windir%\tasks and recreated the search service many times, changed application pool accounts

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance
after you upgraded SharePoint 2013 Foundation to SharePoint Server 2013.
For troubleshooting your issue, please try adding the farm account on the Server local administrator group and see if it is related to permission issue. Then try stopping the Timer Service, clearing
the Configuration Cache and restarting the Timer Service:

Haven't been able to send/receive iMessages since upgrading from 4s to 6 plus

I bought iphone 6 plus 64G to upgrade from my iPhone 4S. I have not been able to send or receive iMessages to iPhone users in my contacts with my cell number. It always uses my email when I create a new iMessage and is able to send that way. I cannot receive iMessages from iPhones to my cell number. which is a huge problem. I have tried turning iMessages on and off and resetting my network and nothing seems to be working. How can I resolve the problem?

If you turn iMessage off and on, does it activate? If not, then see this troubleshooting support document. If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
If it does activate, the go to Send & Receive and see if your phone number is listed there. It should be grayed out and checked.

Custom Field no longer works as an attribute since upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3

We have just upgrade from CUP 5.2 to CUP 5.3 SP8.1 and it seems that the custom field that could be used in 5.2 as an attribute in the logic used to control initiators no longer works as an attribute in 5.3. The initiators that are now configured with the custom field still work but when we try to change or create a new one it errors saying that the custom field is not an attribute and stops me from including it to use as a flag. I looked in the attribute tabs list and the custom field is not listed but it still show in the drop down list in the change initiator screen select attributes selection.
Has anyone else seen this and if so do you know how to allow us to use a custom field as an attribute in the initiator select attributes screen.

Hello Clark,
try to change the "applicable to" option in custom field configuration to initiator.
Best regards,
Bianca
