Sound / Soundcard problem

I have the standard Mac Pro 2.66 GHz
In os x everything is working excelent, but in my windows installation I have some problems with the sound it is on coming from the buildin frontpanel speaker, I can use the minijack on the frontpanel for my headphones but I can't get any sound from the soundcard on the backpanel nothing from the line-in or line-out.
when I look at the system preference panel (Driver display list) windows tells me that alle the drivers is installed.
anyone have any ideers?

This is not a BOOT CAMP Problem. It is a WINDOWS XP Problem. Either he didn't install the drivers for the sound card. (Which is Realtek High Definition Audio) or the Windows XP audio driver (WNMM) is corrupt.
Go to Device manager and under Sound, Video and Game controllers you should see a little yellow question mark under the WNMM driver. If this is the case he needs to uninstall the driver and reboot. It will then reinstall itself and should work properly after that.

Sound Card Problem, or Driver Problem? Games crash, when they didn't befo

Not sure what the problem is, but seems to be a sound problem of some sort. I have just re-installed Vista 64. And now when I try to play BF242, the game crashes before I even see any kind of gameplay. It also instantly crashes when I click on the audio options tab. I have installed the latest drivers from the site. I have even uninstalled them, and launched the game without any drivers, and the game runs perfectly fine, but only without sound.
But I've been able to play BF242 before, but it would evenutally crash after a while, but at least I was able to get into the game. So knowing that Ive been able to play before, and it played without any drivers, I dug up some drivers that I know I had working at one point when the game was playing. And it still crashes before it gets into the game.
So this makes me wonder, is this really a driver problem or a soundcard problem?
All sounds are perfectly fine elsware, music, movies, OS tones, web, etc. Crysis runs perfectly fine. Company of Heros Crashes, Quake Wars crashed about 0 mins into a game. Team Fortress 2 runs perfectly fine. Battlefield 2 instantly crashes.
Here's my specs:
Vista 64 Ultimate
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Asus nVidia 8800 GTX
4gig Corsair XMS2 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
Powersupply Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 550W ATX2V Power Supply with Three 2V Rails
Sound Blaster x-fi fatality (whatever the one that comes with the front computer interface)
Any help would be great. I'd hate to go buy a new sound card just to try it, unless I had a pretty good idea that it was the issue.

I think I found the problem. It was the physical card itself. I pulled my old Audialogy card out of my old machine, and swapped it. Now BF242 runs.
And mine never went to a black screen, and had to hard reset. It just dumped right to the desktop with a message "bf242.exe has stopped working."

It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

Sound device problem in ZONE

I created a solaris zone for my desktop use, but the sound device was not avaialbe. I tried to export it from the global zone:
device
match: /dev/sound/*
then rebooted the zone, login it, found there were several files added in /dev:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           7 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/audio -> sound/0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          10 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/audioctl -> sound/0ctl
crw-------   1 root     root      34, 0 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/sound/0
crw------- 1 root     root      34, 1 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/sound/0ctlThe problem is: how to change the /dev/sound/* files for all users to read and write, permanently?
I tried the following methods but failed:
1. Change manually these files' mode to a+rw as root. But once I logged out the zone or rebooted the zone, the changes were lost.
2. Create a script in /etc/init.d/ and link it to /etc/rc3.d/ to let it auto execcute when boot, as below:
#!/sbin/sh
/usr/bin/chmod a+rw /dev/sound/*
echo `date '+%D %H:%M:%S' > /var/tmp/enable.audio.log
ls -le /dev/sound/* >> /var/tmp/enable.audio.logthe content of /var/tmp/enable.audio.log is something like:
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      34, 0 9月 17 14:50:30 2005 /dev/sound/0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      34, 1 9月 17 14:50:30 2005 /dev/sound/0ctlBut oddly, the permissions of these files would always be changed back to the original state soon, automatically.
3. I added an entry in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to change the permissions every 10 mins, and it did work, strangely. However I think it's not a good method, because I have to wait for 10 minutes before I can login it (if I login the zone before the permissions were changed, the sound device will never work)
Thanks in advance.

It's probably /etc/logindevperm that's fighting you. Read the comments in that file, then you can modify /dev/sound in it.
The idea is that only the user logged in on the console would normally have access to the audio device and the frame buffer, so the permissions are reset at login.
If you're having folks login through a separate zone, this changes that assumption.

Audigy 2 sound card problems

I am hoping that someone out there can help me in a crucial situation.
I am using an Audigy 2 sound card with creative 5. speakers.
I also use Adobe Audition to edit, record sessions for my voice-over jobs.
Recently, I attempted to hook up a web cam so that I could see my grand daughter on the west coast.
After hooking up the web cam, I noticed my home studio environment changed drastically. I began having trouble with recording using my microphone through my Macki mixer. I began hearing a continuous hiss that I had never experienced before.
In fact after uninstalling the web cam, and restarting my computer, I got that horrible blue screen on my computer indicating the world was about to end! Smile
Long story short, I was able to finally get my computer back up, but I continue to experience problems recording "clean' audio".
Three things, after reinstalling Creative from disc several times and restarting my computer I receive a window stating Creative Media Source Detector.....Unable to load needed components....Please reinstall the application"
Also, when trying to test my sound hardware I get a message stating...Direct play voice setup..."an error occurred during direct play voice setup....error code 0x80004005
Last but not least I cannot access the "Creative diagnostic feature on my computer. I only get a small window for this feature that will not open up fully and allow me to run a diagnostic test!
I know this is a lot to absorb, but I cannot get anyone from Creative to address my problems because I am out of warranty and therefore not getting any love from this company.
Need your advice and or guidance on this.
Please respond when time allows.

Re: Audigy 2 sound card problems? use add/remove programs and remove all creative software and drivers, then do the same for your web cam and unplug it
restart your pc
download and install [url="http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-%28Setup%29-download-655.html" rel="nofollow">driver sweeper[/url] and use it to clean up any left over creative bits and bobs and restart your pc when it asks you to
now download and install the [url="http://support.creative.com/Products/product_list.aspx?catID=&CatName=Sound+Blaster" rel="nofollow">latest audigy drivers[/url]
once your back in to windows try recording something and see if everything's back to normal
now reinstalling your web cam but don't reinstall using the cd that came with it
find the manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers
install cd's best avoided simply because the software and drivers they contain are typically the initial release versions, and so potentially very old
and i think we can all agree that old, buggy drivers can be a real pain

How I fixed my Toshiba Satellite sound distortion problem

I've been trying to get the garbled sound recording problem fixed on my Satllite L745-S4210 for months. I have been on this forum and other forums. Alot of people have given me their time trying to fix it, but I managed to do it myself. In the Microphone Properties Advanced Section is a box "enable audio enhancements" I unchecked that box and all my recordings are now crystal clear!

Thanks for that contribution.
The box should be labeled "enable garbled recording."

Fixed my sound crackling problem! Soundblast X-fi Xtrememusic c

I received my Soundblaster X-fi Xtrememusic card yesterday evening and having sound crackling problem. I could hear this crackling sound whenever I play music CD or play Battlefield 2 and it was annoying,? So I searched Google about this and found a thread on this forum about a bunch of people having this same problem. I just thought I should post my problem/solution to see if this fixes for you guys. The issue with my system was because of my wireless Belkin Pre-N desktop card. Here is how I found out:?. Was having crackling problem so I reinstalled Windows XP w/ SP22. After Windows XP installed, the first driver I installed was for?Soundblaster X-fi card3. Tested the sound by playing music CD. Couldn't detect any crackling sound.4. Installed Belkin?wireless?Pre-n desktop card driver and crackling sound returns. >5. Uninstall Belkin driver and turned off computer6. Put in my old D-Link DWL 520 Wireless card and installed driver for it. So far X-fi seems to like D-Link DWL 520 card!?I tested with D-Link DWL 520 by listening to music and downloading 28mb file off Nvidia and no crackling sound! I hope this help for you guys! I love X-fi now...

JoBautista,
you still have the option (before your warranty expires) of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan, which will provide an additional two years of coverage. Once your warranty expires, you will no longer have the option of purchasing AppleCare.

Sound card problem - This device cannot start. (Code

hi all,
here's my situation...
i had a dell dimension 4400 that came with a sound blaster li've! value(wdm) sound card. i recently got a new motherboard/case etc. i transferred the sound card to my new system and i get a "This device cannot start. (Code 0)" error when i check device manager. for some reason, the game port on the sound card is working fine, but the audio processor part has the error. windows recognizes the card, but it won't use it. the card is a little over 3 years old.
now, i've read the forums, tried a clean install, registry tweaks, changed bios settings, even did a hd format. i also tried different pci slots. i have sp2 and all my other drivers are updated.
the new motherboard i have is a gigabyte 8ipe000g. i already contacted gigabyte, did not get much help. it has onboard ac97 audio. i disabled the onboard audio, but it did not seem to change anything. i have also tried windows drivers, the dell drivers from the cd, and the drivers from the creative website. none of them changed anything. i am now having trouble removing the drivers from add/remove programs. i keep removing them, but they still remain, even after using the wdm driver remover from the cd (a file named ctapxx.exe, or something similar). it's almost like windows is not actually installing the drivers when i install them. i'm wondering if the code 0 error is specifically driver related.
the first time i disabled the onboard audio and updated the drivers a weird thing happened. every time i started the computer up it would crash when it got to the desktop. it no longer does this for some reason, everything now starts up, but i have no audio. the sound card is the only device giving me problems on my system.
is there anything else i need plugged into the sound card? all i have is the sound card plugged into the pci slot, and an audio cord going from the card to my dvd dri've. is there anything that is supposed to go from the card directly to the motherboard? as far as i can tell, i have everything hooked up correctly. i don't understand why the game port works, but not the audio processor.
so, i have basically tried everything. seems like quite a few people get code 0 errors with some sort of hardware they have, but it usually seems like there is no definite solution.
does anyone have a similar problem, or a solution? hopefully i don't have to get a new sound card. i would just stick with my onboard audio, but i hear it can cause problems with games.

Since you have a new board it maybe a bios setting.
Is there IRQ conflict from the soundcard.
Maybe remove the card and unistall the software, use a tool "driver cleaner pro" to remove all creative files.
Check your mainboard manual on what pci slot that dont share, i hear slot 3 is the one to use, i use slot 5.
Fit the card and reinstall.
Best of luck.

My Logitech X-530 stopped working in 5. mode also, and I would only get the 2. option in the Creative Diagnostic panel, and also the Audio console/Speaker window. May have happened after a driver upgrade when I switched to Vista. I finally found the (simple) solution.
I went to Control Panel/Sound, Speaker icon, then hit the Configure button at the lower left (I didn't see this the first 7 times I was on this screen). From there it was easy.
Hope your problem is this simple as well.

K8n neo2 platnum memory soundcard problems.

I just recently bought this board and im having problems with it. here is what I have installed.
windows XP home edition (all updates installed)
AMD 64 bit 3500+
(4) 512 meg sticks pc 3200 underclocked to ddr 333 (mushkin blue)
liteon dvd rom drive (set to master)
liteon dvd burner (set to slave)
(2) 36 gig raptors in raid 0
ATI X800 pro
soundblaster live Xgamer (installed on orange PCI slot)
problem im having is when I play everquest or everquest 2 my computer crashes. I run checkit diagnostics that came with norton systemworks 2005 and it says my memory has erros. Ive already sent ram back to newegg bought new ram same problem. at first the motherboard wouldnt install the soundcard I moved it to a diffrent pci slot and it installed. However same problem checkit diagnostics still says I got bad memory and Im pretty sure well im sure that just cant be the case or I have to have the worst luck in the world to get bad ram 2X's in a row.
I did call mushkin today they told me there is problems with this board and soundblaster cards ive been looking for answers on the web and and found none so ive come here in search of some. Is my soundcard uncompatable with this motherboard? or do I need to set somthing up in the bios to make it compatable (im sure I have latest bios as I bought the board like 2 weeks ago so im sure thats not the problem eather)
any suggestions?
thanks.
(note for some reason with only 2 sticks of ram installed everything seems to work fine I told mushkin this they told me it has somthign to do with my soundcard that I need to contact MSI)

I have a Sound Blaster Live! 4.1 (CT-4760), and I do get random crashes. Sometimes I'm stable for days, sometimes it happens more frequently.
Usually happens while playing Enemy Territory. The computer would freeze for about 20 seconds and would resume normally after that. No errors, no reboots, no logs. During those 20 seconds everything would lock, and I would get the sound loop.
But I could blame many things other than my sound card:
* Enemy Territory has proven to give problems before, like with video drivers, etc.
* I could blame my PSU only having 16A on the 12V rail (will upgrade soon).
* Or I could blame my ram not being the best out there.

Audition CS5.5 (OSX) + RME HDSPe MADI Soundcard Problem

There is a big problem here with Audition CS5.5 and the RME HDSPe MADI soundcard.
Stereo playback is no problem but surround playback is. This is a 64in/64out soundcard and Audition
seems to have problems with the amount of outputs. With surround playback and the output channels
set to 1/2/3/4/5/6 for 5.1 playback, the output starts at channel 57! Then one channel is left out - the next
playback channel is 59 and so on. Please make Audition CS5.5 aware of more I/O channels.
When I switch to the additional RME HDSPe PCIe card which only has 26 I/O Audition works normal and addresses
all I/Os correctly as far as I could check.
I even have the two soundcards aggregated to a 90in/90out CoreAudio device. It would be great to have the possibility
to use this aggregated device too. RME allows on driver level to combine different/multiple soundcards for ASIO and CroeAudio.
It would be great if Audition can support all audio interface combinations.
The RME soundcards work absolutely flawless on the same machine with Nuendo 5, PT HD9 and Logic 9 so I can exlude
any driver or setup problem.
Manyn thanks in advance for any effort to solve this.

I have to say that I'm a bit surprised no official seems to take this serious enough to answer to this problem.
Audition CS5.5 is surprisingly good and mainly layed out very ergonomically. Therefore I think a lot more
professionals will be interested in this software. But things like problems with sound card environments with I/O cpability
above, let's say, 32 channels is a major show stopper.
I'm very confident that the problems lies in Auditions channel handling with CoreAudio, because any other (professional) software
runs perfectly with 128 or 180 channels I/O combined.
I read in another post that no patches are planned until CS6. This would be a real drag ... to use Audition with surround files and
higher channel count I have to do work arounds that aren't funny at all.

X-fi Xtreme Music soundcard PROBLEM: Microphone volume too low(unusab

Hello, I've spent a while?sifting through these forums and?can't find any solution to this problem. Many people have been asking this same question and?aren't getting any solutions. When I say the microphone is?too low, I mean it's at the lowest possible volume it could?run at,?so it's unusable and?might as well not be functioning at all. Keep in mind every volume setting on the computer has been set to max.
Is their anyone?that?owns a X-fi xtreme music sound card?using a?microphone that does work?If so, what microphone are you using?I'm only?suggesting that theirs some odd settings with this card that only allow a certain kind of microphone to work with it. I'm using an old mic that works perfectly with my sb li've and that I've had for 3 years now. I'll echo the same basic details I've already checked over. They can be found in other customers' posts who are having this?same problem.) Microphone works - tested on other systems and other cards2) Microphone volume is on max - both in recording and playback (although playback is muted)3) Gain is enabled - Ticked +20dB box4) Drivers are current - tried shipped drivers, current stable, and beta release?Here are more links to this problem, which has not been solved yet:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=49623
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...id=29980#M4984
I?suspect no one?has?the answer to this problem?yet. But could someone please tell me if they are using this soundcard with a mic that is working. If so please tell me what microphone you are using.

I don't know if this is the latest thread but it seems to be. Obviously this is a big prob for a lot of pee
ps.
I have Just built a new machine and included a X-Fi Extreme audio for the 8 channel sound capabilities for movie viewing etc, but .. I also run Teamspeak servers for several games ( WoW , UT , CS etc) and find myself unable to communicate using said card. problem is mic boost is available in playback mode but not in record mode. If you activate mic boost in playback it does actually increase volume in output mode also (don't ask me why) ...but not by much . Not enough for peeps on the other end to hear you while gaming. So... if you can boost mic on playback , why not on record ? which is where it is suposed to be in the first place. there are a LOT of frustrated gamers out there that have paid good money for the surround experience but are unable to do what previous cards have done well .... and that is allow communication between players . please don't ignore this as this is not an operating system problem.... i have installed this card on Vista and XP (both X64 and 32)? and still no mic boost from the software available. you know the problem .. at least acknowledge it and give an update. thank you?Fly
