This is absolutely true. Each new release of the XFI drivers have steadily gotten worse for me. Last night I removed all software and drivers, rebooted into safe mode and ran driver cleaner. Then booted back into normal and tried to install the 2005 CD drivers that shipped with the card. It says v5.2.2.43. 8/8/2005 under the driver tab in device manager.
I kept getting blue screen reboots during the driver reinstall and then again on bootup afterwards, so I discovered in safe mode that that in the driver folder on the CD, if you run the driver setup utilty manually instead of through the creative flash installer, there is an option to remove drivers. This cleans out more then then the add/remove programs uninstaller and driver cleaner combined! Because after i ran that and rebooted into normal, everything installed fine.
I am happy to report that with these CD drivers and software, I no longer have crackling during loud scenes of movies or games in all channels and my center channel now plays sound correctly from all sources. I believe as well that I wasnt getting as many channels of sound as i should have, which may have aided the crackling. So to anyone with issues like that, DOWNGRADE.

QuickTime will only play ONCE

Running QT (latest version) on a WinXPsp2 machine.
Every time we run QT content from a website, it will run once but not run again. There is no error, just unresponsiveness. If we close the browser and reacquire the webpage, it works again ... once. Updating did not help.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately this will not help you much, but I discovered this problem on my XP Media Center box AND my Vista laptop. It happened around the same time. All of a sudden, QT movies would only play once. I'd close the browser and it would work again, just once. I use Safari and Firefox as well...guess what, they both work fine. So there is a work around...don't use IE. I do get a QT plugin error though, it says the plugin did not initialize. Seeings that it used to work fine and stopped on both machines at the same time, I'm assuming it was some update, but using Safari or Firefox is quicker and easier than troubleshooting IE...

The sound will only play through one side of the ear buds

I have had my ipod classic 160GB for several years now. One day recently it just stopped emitting sound from one side of my ear buds. I tried different ear buds with no results. If I leave the ear bud jack plugged in half way in then it works, but I do not want to keep it unsecured like that. I do not still have my warranty on the ipod otherwise I would have contacted Apple directly.

You can obtain a replacement headphone jack/hold switch assembly from eBay or other online store. Opening the iPod isn't the easiest thing but it can be done with the accompanying tools, and a bit of patience and effort. Once the back is off the actual replacement of the components is quite easy though the screws are tiny. I've done half a dozen of these and/or battery swap outs.

How come this sound only plays once?

Here is a program that illustrates what I am doing:
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.sound.sampled.*;
public class soundApp extends JFrame
    JButton button;
    Clip clip;
    public soundApp()
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setSize(300,300);
        File file = new File("tada.wav");
        try
            AudioInputStream audiosource = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(file);
            DataLine.Info info =
                new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, audiosource.getFormat());
            clip = (Clip)AudioSystem.getLine(info);
            clip.open(audiosource);
        catch(UnsupportedAudioFileException e){}
        catch(LineUnavailableException e){}
        catch(IOException e){}
        button = new JButton("Play sound");
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            if(e.getActionCommand().equals("Play sound"))
                clip.start();   //HERE IS WHERE I START IT....sorry for caps.
        Container contentpane = getContentPane();
        contentpane.add(button);
        setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
      soundApp soundapp = new soundApp();
}How come the clip only plays once?

well the answer is simple, because once the clip will stop the sound will stop too. you have not used any loop or anything that shows that the clip should go on forever. you can give some condition like play the clip unless some other button is pressed or some othe action is performed or so on. just use while or any or iterative or conditional statement to get your ay out.

Quicktime will only play my video once

When I download a video sent to me via my FTP server, quicktime will only play it once. If I try again it will post a message saying something along the lines of "Quicktime is unable to open this file" because it's not a format it recognized. The files were made on a Mac and were exported with quicktime pro as a "export for web" changing the file extension from .m4v to .mov. Also when I upload it to youtube, the audio does not get uploaded. Could it be that changing the file extension is creating all these problems? If so, how can I get around it? What setting could I use to export a small version of the quicktime as an .mov comparable to the web export?

Making sound only play once.

Hey guys!
I'm new to the fourms, quick question the site i'm currently helping out with has an audio clip that gets loaded in through xml, I want this to only play once and then halt, but if the user wanted to click on the volume button it could start on up again without a hassle...
take a look, let me know your thoughts.
thanks guys.
here's the link: www.manitobah.ca

well, right now it plays but we just want it to play once, then stop instead of continuiously looping if you know what I mean?

My recorded footage without sound will not play, but will when recorded with sound, any ideas?

Hi there community!
I have recorded alot of footage on a digital Harinezumi 3 camera and have run into a problem in post production.
Some of the footage is recorded with sound, and plays fine. However, with most of the footage, i chose to turn the recording of sound off. These files without sound will not play in any player, even when Perian is installed.
These are the specs of the video I have been able to find out.
File type: .AVI
Video Stream: JPEG
This is all I can find out, so I am thinking it is an M-JPEG file rendered as an AVI file. VLC player says it can not play the video or audio format 'undf', whatever that means. Another player says it needs a .moov encoder, but I do not see how this is possible. I have also tried attaching audio to it via Logic 9 with no success.
I am at a loss, and I really need this footage for a project. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!!

It won't let me post the video in the forum, so here is a link to it in dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4nz8mg18p4thzd/Mountain%203.AVI?n=145237283
Accessed the file at dropbox. Played the DropBox "display" file in scripted player, played the same resource file using the Safari plug-in, and then downloaded the resource file using the QT 7 Pro "Open URL" option only to learn that this file was an H.264 transcode and not your original file. Used the DropBox download option to download the original Motion JPEG file in AVI file container. File plays as is in both QT X v10.2 and QT 7 v7.6.6 players under Mountain Lion v10.8.4 on my system.
Motion JPEG is one of the "lagacy" codec components turned off under Lion and which remains turned off under Mountain Lion. However, as I understand it, Motion JPEG files are supposed to be passively supported (playback supported) under these systems but requires the codec to be turned back on if you wish to export files using this codec. I turned both Motion JPEG and Motion PNG codecs back on quite a while back and have Perian installed which, as you can see, supplied the OpenDML version of the Motion JPEG codec component to actually play your file on my system. Unfortunately, since QT uses a LIFO codec component list generation strategy, I would have to remove Perian to test whether or not the system configured Motion JPEG component would then become the active decoder. (Did this a year or two ago but not willing to do so again at this time.)
Suffice it to say, the file should play in QT on your Mountain Lion system assuming the correct version of Perian is installed, it is actually active, and you have no conflicting software or hardware installed on your system. Have posted an MOV file containing your Motion JPEG video data in case you want to see if it will play correctly on your system.

Ipod will only play single songs

i am not extremely adept with technology but i know some basics, i'm having trouble with my 30GB ipod video, it will only play single songs, if i choose an artist with more then one song in that category it automatically zooms through them all rapid fire and then returns to the main menu... i have no idea why or how this is happening, is it possible i have a virus of some type? if so, how can i get rid of it or fix this problem? i have tried resetting it several times and syncing several times, nothing has changed.... also my second problem is that the videos i have on my ipod will play but they do not play any sound...i am more concerned with the first problem tho. if anyone could offer some advice or help it would be greatly appreciated.

Do the songs play in the iTunes? However, usually if an iPod scrolls through all of the songs instead of playing them it is a software issue. I'd try restoring the iPod to factory settings and syncing the music again.

Also, with your second issue. Where are the videos from? If they were something you imported on your own check this out:

Can anyone assist me with this issue?

To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

IPhone 5. Prior to the iPhone 5, I could listen to podcasts one after the other without doing anything. Now it will only play one podcast at a time, then I have to click on the next one. Not a great feature when driving. TIA, Sarah

How do I get it to just play through all the podcasts that I've downloaded just like my 1st gen?
Group and order your podcasts to a playlist. Then play them from the playlist.

My Itunes will load on Apple TV and play, but only plays one song at a time. It will not shuffle or continuously play an album. All of the songs display, but will only play one at a time...home sharing is on. Any suggestions?

My Itunes info will load onto Apple TV, but will only play one song at a time of my music. Home sharing is on, airplay is on, router info has been reset. What am I missing? It has never done this before....

Songs will only play one at a time

After updating iTunes, using the last update 7.6.2, it will only play one song at a time and stops. It will not play continuously through a playlist. Am I missing something in the setting? Any suggestions?

Are there check marks beside all the songs in the playlist? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. If you hold down the CRTL key and click beside any song in your list then all the check boxes can be toggled on or off: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.
