Sound just disappears in Wind

I just recently formated and installed the drivers found here for my Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeMusic along with everything else needed (Drivers for gfxcard etc.). But today, whenever I start a movie, my sound just disappears. When I try to go to my volume tap, it says that there is no mixer present.
I look in my Device Manager but my soundcard is still there and absolutely nothing wrong with it. The normal sounds from Windows works fine (Ding, etc.) and this problem persists until I reboot but will then come back if I begin to watch a movie.
This didn't happen before I formated so I find it a tad odd.

Hey i have the same issue. I have a brand new 2G itouch.
I can be listening to music and out of nowhere it will stop playing sound. It shows that music is still playing but no sound is going through. I unplug the headphones and try the external speakers and still nothing. Then i try the headphones again and once again, nothing.
Just today it did it so i turned it off and back on. Less than a minute into it, it did it again. And before that i had reset it a few days before in hopes of resolving this issue.
The sounds for everything else will work. If i push the sleep button it makes the sound, keyboard sound works, every other sound will work when this happens, but not the music.
This is honestly depressing because i expected so much more out of this product. It will work for fine short periods of time just fine but this is just extremely inconvenient. I did expect more especially for apple being the company they are and how much i did pay for it.
Everything is up to date. I constantly check for updates so this nuisance can just disappear.
So any resolutions to my problem?

HP Pavilion dv6-6117dx - Sound just stopped working

Listened to a video earlier, then went to listen to another audio type file and the sound was gone. Was not experiencing any issues. Sound just disappeared at some point. Volume is not muted anywhere. Please help.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52658.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K

SoundMax drivers just disappear in XP after last ThinkVantage System Update

Hi All!
I have a ThinkPad T61 that I LOVE so much more than my old Dell D620. I'm actually switching our company over to ThinkPads from Dell.
I have set it up dual boot, running Windows XP SP 2 and Vista Business x64. Both have been running great, and I have installed all the ThinkVantage tools. I even got the SATA to run in AHCI mode, which was the trickiest thing so far...until...
I ran System Update on Sunday in Windows XP. Since then, my sound has disappeared. I got all kinds of errors from SoundMax, saying the device wasn't found. When I try to reinstall SoundMax, I get the dreaded "The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the "Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver (Q888111)" driver and rebooted each time over and over again. I've removed and let Windows re-find the Bluetooth Audio drivers. I have no exclaimation points for any drivers, and no listing for any SoundMax drivers. I cannot get XP to recognize the audio on the machine any longer. There is no listing in the BIOS for audio.
The real kicker is that the audio works perfectly fine in Vista, so I know it's not a hardware issue.
I've tried suggestions from the following articles, to no avail:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111
Does anyone out there, or does Lenovo, have any suggestions? This is VERY frustrating because I know it's not a hardware issue!
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
I actually had installed the drivers. The problem was the soundcard drivers weren't even listed in Device Manager - no exclaimation points - nothing.
I was actually able to solve the problem, but it was a real pain. See the following:
There was no listing under Add/Remove Programs for the Microsoft UAA KB888111 update to remove it. This was because I had installed it, uninstalled it, and then reinstalled it again.
So, according to the above link I posted, I had to delete the following key from the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP3\KB888111
Then I rebooted. After rebooting, I reinstalled the KB888111 patch from the Lenovo site, then rebooted again.
After that reboot, it found the sound card and wanted to install the drivers, which I did from c:\DRIVERS\WIN\Audio. Once again, I rebooted.
After that reboot, I installed the SoundMax software and rebooted again, and when I logged back into Windows, I heard the familiar Windows startup theme.
I guess a word to the wise is to be very careful what you are installing when using the ThinkVantage System Update. I might not be so quick to update something that is already working fine.

My sound has disappeared-what position should the toggle switch be in? Also my e-mails sticks a lot of the time.

My sound has disappeared - what position should the toggle switch be in? Also, my e-mail sticks a lot of the time, same old problem, no solutions.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Satellite U840W - network LAN adapter just disappeared

I need to connect my laptop Satellite U840W via Ethernet and I can't find the LAN controller, everything was working fine but from one day to another it just disappeared.
I've been downloading the drivers many times but still nothing appears,
Any tips? Is it possible that the ethernet card might be broken?
Thank you

Hi
You mean the LAN controller isnt listed in device manager, not even as an Ethernet controller nor as an unknown device?
Hmm sounds like LAN controller malfunction. But this is really hard to believe
How about the BIOS?
Did you set it t default? Check this
However before talking with an service engineer, I would recommend you to reset the notebook back to factory settings just to check if the same LAN issue would appear using the Toshiba preinstalled image.

Notification sounds have disappeared

I have been doing some research into the discussion pages to see if anyone else has had the same problem, and it appears I am not alone. When using iChat, my notification sounds have disappeared - when someone comes on/offline, when I open iChat (I don't get that whhhooooopppp noise), when I have an incoming chat I don't get the ringing sound (particularly annoying for my UK based friends and me when I miss them!) etc.
I have done the following to try and rectify the problem, but to no avail.
Trashed the audio preference file. Checked and adjusted the Audio MIDI settings to 44100. Verified and repaired permissions. Opened Garageband and closed it again. All software is up to date....Still nothing - unless I restart in which case it works once or twice and then falls silent again.
Anyone got any other ideas?
And if anyone is interested in another problem, I have the recurring issue of the phantom 'submarine' in iChats as well - this only just started recently, but it's so loud and irritating that I have to cancel the chats and try and start again. Recently I've given up video calling (although it hasn't mattered cause I keep missing my friends due to my silent iChat alerts!)
Any help/ideas on either/both subjects would be much appreciated!

Just to make sure, you've tried all these settings and still no sound?:
iChat>preferences>alerts>play sound box has been ticked?
In the same window have you moved the volume slide bar and still no sound?
Have you tried to highlight a buddy in your list and from the top menu:
contacts(buddies)>info>alerts>play sound>select an event and the sound you would like to go with it?
If these have been tried and it still does not work:
Quit all open applications, open Quicktime from the dock.
Hold the command(Apple key) and press "K".
You'll see the A/V control panel for Quicktime, volume slide bar to the right.
Now select the iChat icon in the dock and with iChat open, click on the Quicktime icon in the dock once more.
You will see the A/V control panel with the volume slide bar now on the left (mute).
Hold the command(Apple) key and press "K", (the A/V window disappears), keep holding the command key and press "K" again, the window appears again and now the volume should be to the right (max).
Check if the sound effects are working now in iChat.
For me this somehow works for audio issues, (or maybe I have audio issues because of the toggling).
Don't ask me why, it works when there is no sound in quicktime movies in safari, or when you have no sound at all.

Downloads just disappear from the specified location such as "Desktop" or "My Documents".They are untraceable afterwards.Why does this happen?And because of this I have uninstalled Firefox and now use Chrome.

I have been using Firefox for almost a year now,and had upgraded to Version 7 recently.
My problem started with the downloads.
1) When a download is to be commenced,a box appears with two options,namely "SAVE" and "CANCEL".
Even when I click on "SAVE",the the box shows it as 'cancelled'.When I right click on the box,another dialogue box appears with a number of choices ,the top one reads 'RETRY'.
When I click this option the download starts and it is shown in the chosen location until 99% is completed,bu the moment the download is complete,the item i.e. the downloaded item just disappears from the chosen location and is not traceable thereafter.This has happened to me repeatedly over the past week or so and I am so disgusted that I have been compelled to uninstall Firefox,and have started using Chrome.
Please help,as I would like to get back to using Firefox again but without the above problems.

Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off.

I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

Most of my old mail just disappeared. How do I get it back?

Mail from before January 28 has just disappeared from my mailbox. Other mailboxes were not affected. How do I get the mail back?

These instructions apply only if you've been backing up with Time Machine.
Bring the Mail browser window forward, then enter Time Machine. You'll see a series of Mail windows cascading back in time, each representing a snapshot of the Mail database.
Scroll back to the most recent snapshot containing the messages you want to restore. Select the messages, then click Restore. The messages will be restored to a new mailbox named "com.apple.Mail.backup" in the On My Mac group. From there you can move them wherever you like.
Depending on how many mailboxes you have, you may have to scroll the mailbox list up or down to see the new entry. According to some reports, you might have to relaunch Mail, or perhaps wait a while for the database to be reindexed, before it shows up. I can't confirm those reports.

I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.

I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact. Help!!

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/3.0/en/9889.html
Hope this helps,
