Sound stops and starts with x-fi titanium pci e

I am going nuts with this problem and creative support is not much help atm, so I have been troubleshooting myself. Whats going on is my sound stops, starts, and stutters a lot. It is pretty bad when I play music files but it is absolutely horrible when I watch videos like on CNN or YOU TUBE. It is like a old vinyl record skipping, except when this gets off a stutter, it races to where it should be on the time line. Also my creative console does not work right. I cannot use the equalizer, as the custom, rock, pop music select is greyed out and the box is checked to use the equlaizer. It also disappears when I click on a few tabs, like between speakers, bass, equalizer..then its just gone and I have to click the shortcut again to get it back.
What I have done so far is un-install everything, and do a clean boot, then re-install and I have the same problems. Though I downloaded the creative console beta(2.6.49) and it seemed to have fixed my issues with that. But downloading the new drivers (2.7.8) does not fix the stopping and starting.
Any suggestions?
I should mention I use klipsitch speakers..2.1, I don't have surround sound anymore.
Customer service had me run a registry cleaner and use it to uninstall everything creative. I used CCleaner, then used direct links to download drivers...again...(2.7.8) and a creative console(2.6.35)..guess what? It didn't work, same problems, though I downloaded and re-installed the beta for the creative console(2.6.49) and now it works fine. I also did all this under a clean boot..again.

Check if "Play Stereo Mix using Digital Output" is checked in the Console launcher in Settings/Digital IO.

    I bought a TV episode from iTunes (I have version 10 installed), but when I try to play it on my laptop, it keeps stopping and starting, with the voices out of sync with the action.  The action is stop/start as well., and occasionally it skips 5 or 10 seconds altogether, making it impossible to watch.  What settings can I change to fix the problem.

  • Clicks and Pops with X-fi Titanium PCIe

    I am having trouble with my X-fi Titanium PCIe where I am getting clicks and pops every so often. The problem is during any audio, music, movies, netflix etc. I am connected thru optical spdif and I have tried with Dolby Digital Live both on and off, and the clicks are always there.
    I checked IRQs and the X-fi is sharing IRQ 16 with my video card and a couple other devices. My thinking is that this is the problem, but of course in Windows 7, there is no way to force an IRQ change. My board only has one PCIe x1 slot and I'm not sure what else to do.
    I would appreciate any help or input.

    Hi MuzicEngineer,
    Certain motherboards may allow you to reassign the IRQ of your devices. You might want to check with the motherboard vendor to see if this is possible. Also if you have not already, feel free to write to our Customer Support for assistance.

  • T530 sound stops and starts

    The sound on my T530 will stop working and then if I leave it alone for a while it will start back. It seems to happen after I've used my headphones but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    Have you checked with updating drivers from Lenovo support site?
    Have you checked with different ‘Headphone’, is the same ‘Headphone’ working fine with other system?
    Hope this helps.

  • Nike+ Stopping and starting with headphones with volume control

    I have new headphones, the apple ones that you can control the volume and stop start and skip to the next song. About two weeks after using them on runs, the program starts hesitating (stopping workout switching songs at random). I have returned headphones to Apple Store and recieved new ones with the same result about two weeks later. Please help, it is a big inconvience.

    Has anyone found a solution for this? I've gone through two news sets of Apple headphones (with mic and volume control), and I'm still having this problem. It isn't continuous, and I can't seem to find a cause/effect relationship. But, it is very annoying, and makes using Nike+ worthless. Yesterday's 40 minute run only recorded as 33 minutes. Thanks for any help.

  • Apple tv sound stops and starts

    ?my apple TV keeps cutting in and out after 15 or 20 seconds it cuts out audio for 1 or 2 seconds and keeps doing this.
    Can you help.

    Hi roy52,
    I found the following information which may assist you in troubleshooting this issue:
    Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1551
    If you can see video but can't hear sound
    If Apple TV is connected to a receiver, make sure the receiver is turned on.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your receiver matches the input you have your audio cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your receiver for more information.
    Make sure the volume on your TV or receiver is turned up and isn't muted.
    Check whether you can hear sound while playing video only. Also, check whether you can hear audio feedback while clicking through menu options.
    If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV supports audio through its HDMI port. The HDMI ports on some older TVs support only video.
    If you are using HDMI audio, try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable.
    If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV is setup to receive audio from HDMI. For some TV's this is automatic, but for others there is a choice between digital and analog (for HDMI audio, choose digital). Read more about HDMI audio.
    Try the other audio outputs on Apple TV to see if they work.
    If possible, try using different audio cables.
    Cheers!

  • My lap top is extremly slow. It studders. It kind of sounds like there is a fan inside and it constantly stopping and starting. And, it takes a really long time for it too start up. Whats wrong with it?

    Do you have current backups?
    Those symptoms could indicate a failing Hard drive. If it dies, all your documents go with it unless you have Backups.
    I have had very good luck with physical and battery problem diagnosis at the Genius Bar. Those guys put their hands (and their ears) to these machines, all day every day, and they know immediately what all those sounds mean.

  • Sound randomly stops and starts

    Hello,
    Over 2 days, as I watch Netflix, or listen to music on other apps, my sound randomly stops and starts.  I have no control of it.  I do not have to touch my ipod when this happens, it does this on its own.  On for 20 min, off for 5 min, on for 5, off for 2, on for 1 min, off for 15 min.  It ossolates randomly through time.
    I hard reboot, but this works or does not work (for a while).  Any ideas?

  • While playing videos on itunes, audio and video will stop and start. It just started doing this recently and it does it with all my itunes videos..help!!

    While playing videos on itunes, the audio and video will stop and start several times during playback. This just started recently and it does it on all my videos. Help!!

    Try to download the application VLC.
    It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
    In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

  • Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while  playing music in iTunes.  It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

    Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes.  It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
    it started skipping again. 

    Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your  phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!

  • How to stop and start MDBs to listen for JMS messages

    Hello! This might be more of an architecture question rather than a technical questing, but I post it here, in the lack of a better place...
    For several years I have been using Webster and Webster MQ to send messages back and forth to clients. The architecture for the middleware platform has been designed around the functionality of ListenerPorts. Listenerports is a Webster functionality that let you "stop" and start to listen to JMS messages for a given MDB either by admin console, or by JMX.
    The arhitecture we used was something like this :
    1.Client sends a persistent message to a queue. (order)
    2. An MDB pics up the order message, calls a SessionBean that "fronts" the IIOP back end system.
    This is quite "out of the box" architecture, but we used the Listenerports to solve a stability problem for our back end system.
    The backEnd system was quite unstable, so the EJB threw an exception (typically because of timeout or connection refused) back to the MDB.
    The Listenerport was "defined" to handle 3 errors before stopping, so the MDB resent the message twice before the listenerport automatically stopped. The nice thing about this feature was that the client could continue to send orders, and was not bothered when the back end system was down.
    When the backEnd system was up and running, we could start the listenerport and it was all back to normal state. We even had a start script that checked the state of the listenerport every 30 minute, and started it automatically if it was stopped, making the admin task of starting the MDB unnecessary..
    Now.. Why am I telling this story..
    I would like to know how this could be done using "clean" J2EE technologies..That is..Not using any technology that is not portable..
    I`m playing with glassfish at home, and it struck me that there is nothing in the J2EE spec that defines the functionality described above ? Am i missing something ?
    I Do not want to stop My application because the back end system is down? That is the only way (i know of) that i can "stop" to listen for messages..
    I can put all the messages on an error queue when the backbend system is down, but that would lead to more code just to handle the error messages. Maybe the easiest way to solve this is to "move" (programmatically) all messages from the error queue over to the "standard" queue every XX minute, but somehow that sounds "wrong"
    Can anyone give me some advice to how this problem situation should be solved ? I`m interested in the solution both from an architectural perspective and from a more technical perspective..
    Best regards

    Breakpoints, whether normal or conditional, are just meant for debugging of your code.  I had the sense from your question that the pausing you want to do is a part of normal operation of your code.  I would NOT recommend using a breakpoint for that situation.  It would bring up the block diagram showing the breakpoint when it occurs.  A user besides the programmer would not know what to do in that case.
     Yes, both the inner and outer loops would have shift registers.
    Putting a case structure with a small while loop inside the "Pausing Case" is doable.  It just depends on what you are doing or waiting for while the program operation is "paused".
