Soundbanks percussion kit and EAX microphone problems

I bought the PCMCIA Audigy ZS notebook to use it with my notebook HP Pavillon ZS6000 (Athlon 3200, 1 Gb RAM) having the hobby to sing with friends using karaoke software like Van Basco or Karawin.
I bought it in a blister pack at the end of August.
In both sw (Karawin or Vanbasco) you can set the output device to one between internal midi map, Microsoft GS wavetable, Creative soundfont player, or a virtual software like YamahaXG or Virtual Sound Canvas if you have.
I use the Creative soundfont player and change the banks through soundbank manager. It works properly, but if I try to change the percussion kit, dont' hear any difference, like if it use only the first one. Moreover, if I try to combinate 2 soundbanks loading over a second one only with a great piano for example it sounds only the first bank in the list.
Another problem is with Eax anvironment, that produce on the microphone sounds only a continuous bipped sound (I dont' know if it's the one you called bopping) and no echo or reverb...
Least if I use the internal speaker the latency increase terribly to more than 1 second.
Someone can help me?

$? Hi.
I have got same problem here.
When I switch from "creation to game mode" or from "game to creation mode" I can hear microphone/line in playback.
It is muted on the panel but I can HEAR it.
I always have to switch it ON and OFF (in both modes).
Same thing happens when I play through ASIO.
Microphone playback activates but panel visualisation is OK.
This behaviour is pretty annoying.
How is THIS even possible ? I can not believe it.
One more thing about create console I do not like.
It is SLOW !
Slow loading (opening), slow switching.
And two words to Creative developers:? "SIMPLICITY" and "EFFECTIVENESS".

2 Problems with the Ipad Air...midi keyboard and usb microphone

IN SHORT:
2 Problems with the Ipad Air...what midi keyboard will connect to the lightning camera connector and what microphone as well? There seems to be issues with the ipad air not being able to power them. Has anyone got any devices to work yet?
IN DEPTH:
I have a yeti microphone that when I plug in it says its using too much power. A little samsung go mic I have plugs in find and works but isnt quite what im looking for. My midi keyboard is not reading...its probably 15yrs old (didnt expect it to work). I have ordered a usb powered keyboard but im now nervous it may not work if it requires too much power. Has anyone had any success with a particular model of keybaord? I saw a youtube video of the CME Xkey in which it was plugged into an ipad that uses the lightning jack, but was unsure if it was the air or a different model.
Any help is appreciated on this...I love my ipad air and hoping to make it my fully functional music recording device.
By the way I mostly use garageband

hey mate
Yes what I ended up doing is buying a powered usb hub. They are about 10 dollars or so on amazon.com. There are tons to choose from. I use a yeti micrphone now with no issues and a midi keyboard. You will need the lightning usb adapter too. You plug the lightning adapter into the ipad and the hub into the adapter then plug all your accessories into the powered hub. So it works well you just gotta buy an extra piece of equipment.

Problem with camera connection kit and IOS 5

Since I upgraded my IPAD 2 to IOS 5 camera connection kit is no longer working properly:
- when importing from a given CF card for the first time camera connection kit it is working with my camera (Canon EOS 7D)
- however, as soon as i take additional photos on a non-empty CF card, things start getting weird when importing:
- duplicates are no longer reliably recognized (some of the photos imported before are indicated as duplicates others not), hence an incremental upload of photos is no longer viable
- some RAW photos are corrupted during import (it shows an "RAW" icon in the photo app, but no preview and the photo cannot be enlarged)
I never had such problems with IOS 4.x I'm really frustrated about IOS 5.0 since camera conenction kit and the ability to deal with RAW photos were my main reasons to buy an IPAD...
Anybody experiencing similiar problems? Any viable workarounds?
Thanks
Claudio

Friend, you say "The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces)" What if one has several hundred photos/files. Renameing them on my computer each 8 characters long adds an extension (1), (2), (3), and so on. For example, "JUNE2014(1). The connection kit won't read the photos due to the extra (1). How can I fix this without having to rename each of the hundreds of photos one by one?
Thank you, Cisco.

Before you go through that trouble open About this Mac > More Info... > System Report > Audio and see if the system actually knows it has a microphone. Then you can look into Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup and see if the microphone is there, select it and make sure the sliders are set to full. Then in System Preferences look for Sound > Input and make sure it shows up there and the sliders are at least half way up. If none of that works do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
then go through the process of looking for the microphone again as the reset may reenable the mic.

Internal Microphone Problem

I am the owner of a A305-S6829. When the lid is open the microphone does not function. It is necessary to barely close the lid to make it function. I think the problem is that the wire harness of the camera and the microphone is in some way broken and it make connection when the lid is closed. I know this wire harness pass through the right hinge of the lid. The situation is that i am trying to buy this wire harness but I can not find any internet site to buy them. Can someone help me with that or sugest me other solution.
Thanks!!
Solved!

When I connect them both, the microphone isn't working.

Is this a known issue ?
Or is there someone who can help me ?

Re: Microphone problems when I use Skype

Could anybody help with the problems that I'm experiencing with the microphone when using Skype?
I have also tried to use an external one but still having problems with the other person not being able to hear me, is there a setting which I can adjust its been back to Toshiba and they said that there is no fault.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi MCFARGL,
I have even tested Skype and it seems that everything works properly.
Furthermore I miss some important informations You write nothing about your operating system, notebook model, Skype version, headset, drivers, etc.
Maybe its still enough if you enable the microphone boost. Check the Windows sound settings (input devices). There you configure the microphone volume and enable microphone boost.

B520 Built-in Microphone Problem

We recently got a B520 77452MU All In One. It includes a built-in webcam & microphone, and since right out of the box the microphone has recorded horribly. It has very high background noise, kind of like a whirring static-y fan, so high that one might say the talking is actually the "background" noise. We've tried updating the drivers and adjusting the microphone settings in the sound section of the control panel. After troubleshooting extensively with the warranty tech support, they said it wasn't a normal problem and had us ship it in to try replacing the microphone (the particular model # we bought was not available to order by the time we received ours - it took a month to ship - so the sales rep couldn't just exchange it). That did not resolve the poor recording quality, even though the repair slip said the webcam/mic unit was replaced and passed the test, so we're thinking this must really be a normal weakness of the system. Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone figured out a solution?
We like the features of the computer otherwise, so we're thinking about just buying an external microphone, but it is very annoying to have an "all-in-one computer" mounted to our wall with accessories hanging off it because it isn't really "all-in-one".

I have more info on my own situation (with a USB connected head set.) Net: the Rosetta Stone suggestions seem to have worked. I've listed the steps they supplied for Windows 7. I made two changes from what I had been recently using, highlighted in red under "Editorial Comments" in steps 9 and 12. That combination seemed to stop the background noise (feedback from a device?) in my talking during voice recognition.
I realize this doesn't directly address the original post about "B520 Built-in Microphone Problem" since i wasn't doing the same thing. The original symptom, though, seemed to be related.
The suggested steps with a USB headset for voice recognition with my annotations:
1. Plug your headset into an available USB-Port.
2. Open the Start menu.
3. Click on the Control Panel.
start menu
4. If you're viewing the Control Panel by Category, click Hardware and Sound and then Sound. If you're viewing by Large or Small icons, click Sound.
open sound menu
5. On the Playback tab, highlight your device by clicking on it. Your device may be listed as C-Media USB Audio Device, USB VoIP Device or Other USB Device. (Editorial comment: my only USB choice was "USB VoIP Device", which was what I was already using.)
6. Click the Set Default button. If there's a green checkmark next to your preferred device, it's already set as the Default Device.
Set Default
7. Click the Properties button.
click properties button
8. Click the Levels tab.
9. Adjust the Speakers to 30. (Editorial comment: mine had been set to 67.)
10. Click OK.
11. Click the Recording tab.
12. Highlight your device by clicking on it. It should have the same name as the device that you selected in the Playback tab. (Editorial comment: my microphone highlighted had a different name, "Lenovo USB 2.0 Audio", though I had nothing else audio but my headset plugged into a USB connection. I highlighted the "USB VoIP Device" name used in step 5.)
13. Click the Set Default button. If there's a green checkmark next to your preferred device, it's already set as the Default Device.
14. Click OK.

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
I'm not an owner of your model, but there should be options in the Audio Control Panel to adjust the microphone's volume and the microphone's boost. Have you tried adjusting them ?

MICROPHONE PROBLEMS IN WINDOWS VISTA HELP!

I have this Toshiba Windows Vista laptop and the microphone will only work with Yahoo only. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated very much on how to get this to work for everything else just like it used to. Thanks!
I have been told to contact the manufacturer of this microphone, but the problem with that is that I have more than one microphone with different manufactures and they all do basicaly the same thing. They don't work but in Yahoo only! Can you please tell me what I need to do to get all of them to work once more in different things besides Yahoo only. Thanks!

With a microphone plugged in, right-click on the sound icon in the Notification area of your taskbar and click Recording Devices. Select the external device, click Properties, and verify the settings.
Won't hurt to reinstall the driver.

[solved] Microphone problem, possible unwanted stereo mix.

I'm user of integrated Integrated audio: Realtek HD Audio ALC 1200 (Mother board: ASUS P5Q)
Whenever i try to record something from my microphone input, i'll record everything that currently plays at the background (output is being captured with microphone input, no matter what).
The question is, how to disable this? If i lower capture volume, this stereo mixer volume goes down, too, but therefore it's impossible to record my own voice without yelling.
I'm using Pulse Audio.
Is there anyone who is using same audio card and not having same problems?
I just hope i shouldn't blame my integrated audio card, but my hands.
Here is a screenshot of my alsamixer settings: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5885 … shotgy.jpg
EDIT: If you have same audio card and you do (or do not) have any microphone problems, please contact me.
TL;DR: stereo mixer is always on.
Solution: if you have 6 pins on motherboard, try to use orange/black instead of green for audio out (headphones). No idea what's the problem with green one.
^ works for me.

You say you are using pulseaudio. If I am not mistaken, the settings you change in alsamixer won't affect pulesauido (at least not in my case)
Have you installed and run pavucontrol to look at the "Input" Settings? This is the mixer for PulseAudio
After little discussion at alsa-project.org I believe my audio card is just "not really good" and this stereo mixer is possible to hear, if output volume is 66+ and capture 33++, i just switched to values above. (it's almost silent with those)
So I can now use microphone without heavy stereo mixing. But, need to find anyone else with same audio card experiencing same problems. If someone has the same audio card, and is (isn't) experiencing same problems please contact me.
Used pavucontrol to confirm volume settings.

IPhone 3GS and Nike+ Remote problems

I've been using my Nike+ Sensor and Nike+ Remote watch with the iPhone 3GS and have noted problem. (I also have an 4th Gen Nano which works flawlessly with this kit)
The fast forward and reverse buttons work to "skip" to the next song or podcast, but have lost the functionality to hold them down a FF through the song or podcast.
Anyone else have these problems?

The spoken feedback problem must be a bug. It happens to me sometimes and it can be fixed by either turning the phone off and back on or resetting it.

Disabling laptop microphone and enabling microphone attached to mike jack

Hi, I am using a Satlellite model A505-S69803 model and am having problems with my microphones. I am getting an echo with the laptop and want to disable that and just use my mike attached to the jack. I use Windows 7. I cannot disable the laptop mike without disabling both. Any help would be appreciated.

okay have you checked your device manager whether there's any device error for your MIC?
or open command prompt type this and check the settings of your microphone:
rundll32.exe
shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL mmsys.cpl,,1
