Soundblaster 24Bit Live External - SPDIF issues on Vista 32B

Hey everyone!!As the title says i'm using the Soundblaster 24Bit Li've External connected through the optical?out to a external processor. I'm able to get sound from all the 6ch but there is something wrong. When i'm using WinDVD the SPDIF option is greyed out and i'm not getting true Dolby Digital sound. When I use windows XP i can select spdif as output and ''Dolby Digital'' appears on the external processor. On the sound properties i selected ''Digital Out Only'' and ''Let the software handle playback'' (or something like this) and it didn't solve the problem. Any help is appreciated. Thx in advance

can anyone help?

New computer has a Soundblaster 24bit Live card and I am seriously disapointed? Anyo

Hi-
I just bought a new Dell Dimension 3000 desktop. I replaced my old HP 520N but am disapointed with this sound card... I game alot like Counter Strike and listen to alot of music. I mostly use winamp and windows media player.. Well today when I got the new Dell I couldn't wait to hear this new sound card. On my HP I only used the onboard processor dri'ven sound, and by far that sounded awesome with my Altec Lansing satelites and sub.... But this Creative card sounds real low and muffled? I Can't figure out what could be wrong? I tried all the options and still I have to turn my speakers up to half to 3/4s and check the creative volume at more than half to listen at a decent level? My old pc Did this performance at like /4 the speaker volume and half the windows pc volume? Just seems to me that this card might be shot or something is wrong with my setup? I have the speakers plugged into the green output on the card. that is the only one I could get sound from. I can't seem to turn the onboard sound on for this computer to test it against the card?Can anyone offer me some insight or help? I know these are in fact low end as far as money goes but you would think it would be better than onboard sound and so far its way below that...
Thanks for your help and INFO!!!Spankey

I tried messing with direct out and such but no avail.. It seems that when I play a normal audio cd it sounds AWESOME.. But when I play mp3s on my pc they sound lower almost as if they are not of quality at all? I even tried to convert them to wav files to see if that would work but nothing...
Again, sound effects and original cds sound incredible.. Guess I am done listening to mp3s on my pc
Thanks again for your info and help...

Help with optical out on soundblaster live external 24-

Currently trying to connect a soundblaster li've external 24 bit box to a harmon-kardon avr 0 amplifier. We can get sound via the analog jacks but can not get any sound from the optical port. Is there a setting on the computer or the amp that makes it so it works? also the hardware mute button mutes but does not unmute. the wheel also continuously scrolls without stopping.

Anyone with an insight with WHY it was made with USB .

Lack of Documentation for SoundBlaster Live External 24-

Hello,?I purchased the SoundBlaster Li've External 24-Bit card so I could load?soundfonts?and play?midi files. I could find no instructions anywhere on to how to load soundfonts into the card. After struggling many?days looking thru the .exe files, I happened to stumble on the SFBM (Soundfont Bank Manager) Graphic?Equalizer and EAX modules which I was able thru trial and error to finally get?working.Did I miss something somewhere or why is there no mention in Help about these modules or anywhere else I looked?For a "newbie" like myself it would have been nice if there was a help topic?on "how to load soundfonts into your SoundBlaster". Thanks,?dalester?

SB 24Bit Live Card - Choppy so

Hi.
I recently built my new pc system. Prior to making it, i ordered a Creative P5800 speaker set, which i used, hassle free for months before buying the other parts. I bought a Creative Soundblaster 24bit Li've card - OEM, and installed it. It was working fine, up until a month ago, when the audio started to cut out at random intervals. At first, i thought the card was getting heat from a graphics card, so i moved it to the lowest PCI slot. The problem keeps returning, though only happens randomly. It seems to be cured when the volume on the remote is turned off completely, and then back on again, from which it return at a later period.
I realise this might be a problemw with the controller, but i wanted to post here (and in the speaker section) to see if it beared fruit.
TIA
Sam

Audigy2zs spdif out in Vista Ultimate32

Hello All, I'm at my witts end here! I'm trying to get spdif out in vista by using the same configuration from XPP, but its no go.
I dl the Audigy2zs vista drivers from creatives web site and installed them in my newbuild with no problem.
In XP to get Spdif out:
Speakers setting in xp: = sound 5. + digital out
Creative audio console: = spdif passthru to external decoder =? Logitech 5. THX, DTS decoder/Speakers
PowerDVD 9 Ultra: sound = Spdif
THX Console = 5.
But Vista will not produce bitstreamed compressed sound out like XPP.
In Vista Sound: Spdif
Creative audio console = spdif passthru to external decoder =? Logitech 5. THX, DTS decoder/Speakers
PowerDVD 9 Ultra sound: = Spdif
But all I get is static. Is there something I'm missing? am I configuring this right?
HELP!!!
regards,
Asamp

Hi asamp
It sounds?OK about your setup. what I shall do is just give you few suggestions to double check with.
1. First make sure your optical/coaxial cable works fine and also your z-5500's control pod; if it is fine...
2. Check whether you have selected Dolby Digital li've/DTS connect under the "Encoder" tab of your Creative Audio Console; if it is selected de select it.
3. Check whether you selected 'spdif passthrough' under the decoder tab of Creative Audio Conole. If it is not, select it.
4. Go to' Control Panel' ---- 'Sound'----Select SPDIF Creative Audigy-----Select 'Properties' tab------ select 'Levels' tab and check whether the sound level is set on very low (say?0) (its a 0-00 scale) if it is set in low please move it to a higher value (80/90/00).
After all these measures still your problem persist; go to 'control panel' select 'sound' select 'SPDIF Audigy 2' and set it as default; restart windows and try a DVD.
Try these and let me know whether it work or not
GOOD LUCK

Can you lock the SPDIF IN of the MBP to an external SPDIF clock?

I've read a lot of inconclusive posts about this. Can it be done?
The corollary question of course is: can the SPDIF OUT of the MBP sync to a clock at the SPDIF input?
Can both input and output lock to an external SPDIF clock?
TIA

OK: once more into the breach... BTW, I really appreciate the followups Pancenter.
Heh... sorry if I misunderstood any of this.
This is the setup:
- The RME Digiface is synced to another device via ADAT Optical sync; it's set up as a slave to that sync signal.
- The Digiface SPDIF Optical (not ADAT: it IS set to SPDIF) out to MBP optical In.
- The Macbook Pro Optical out to Digiface SPDIF Optical In.
But now you have two different clock INPUTS into the Digiface, in fact you are looping the clock signal back in. Even though you have the RME Digiface set to ADAT sync input you are still receivng clock input at s/pdif. You can't have Two Inputs receiving digital clock as there is only ONE clock per device. This setup will not work as "a device receiving digital IN must lock to external that incoming clock." (unless of course there's separate wordclock for all devices)
This sounds similar to the infamous MIDI Y cable I invented in 1985, the one that didn't work!
Unplug the s/pdif out of the Macbook into the RME.
Of course the Digiface settles down, right?
- I can get audio into the MBP this way, no problem.
- I can get audio out of the MBP this way, no problem.
HOWEVER: the SPDIF sync on the DIGIFACE preferences keeps switching between "Sync" and "Lock" every 20 seconds or so indicating that the signal is not perfectly locked to the Digiface clock.
The Digiface clock is nonexistent as it's clock is running off of ADAT clock, whatever that external device is. There is not a separate s/pdif clock output on the Digiface... it's the ADAT clock.

Leopard, external USB HD, Windows Vista

I have a G4 laptop running Leopard.
After reformatting my external hard drive to MS-DOS FAT 32, it does not appear at all in Windows Vista.
What else can I do to fix this problem?

Hi,
refering to my first post I still beleieve that the problem results from the used partition scheme on the external HD and not from the used file system.
Check with Disk Utility in OSX whether your external HD uses APM (Apple Partition Map) or not.
If it is APM then repartitioning the external HD and using MBR (Master Boot Record) as partition scheme and MS-DOS FAT32 as file system should enable the external HD to be useable from both Vista and your G4.
Second alternative would be to connect the external HD to the Vista PC and repartition it there also using MBR.
But since Windows cannot format partitions bigger than 32GB with FAT32 you have to use a third-party tool like this http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm to do the formating (not the partitioning).
Btw.: there is no such thing as FAT64 only exFAT which is supposed to be mainly used with Flash-drives.
Secondly, be aware that FAT32 has a built-in single-file size limitation of 4GB.

USB2.0 PCI cards that use the NEC chipset seem to give the least amount of problems for Mac users.

Do you also connect the external USB drive to the AC power as well while you use it ?
Sometimes USB external drive problems are resolved simply by plugging them into the mains power and trying again.

I have SPDIF passthrough in Vista x

After trying to solve this for quite a while I finally found a way to get SPDIF passthrough in Vista x64. Apparently it's been working all the time, the trick is you need to use a 64bit player. Vista is by default using the 32bit version of WMP found in C:\Program Files(86)\, but if you go to C:\Program Files\ you will find the 64bit version of WMP.
Be aware that the 64bit version of WMP requires 64bit codecs and a 64bit codec pack is very likely to interfere with the audio processing.
If you are not getting SPDIF passthrough after installing a codec pack, make sure your audio decoder is set to "MPA Decoder Filter". If you still don't have SPDIF passthrough, put in a DVD and go to Tools --> Options --> DVD --> Advanced and set your output to SPDIF. I got a BSOD while trying to apply SPDIF output to a movie that hadn't been stopped, so I recommend you stop the movie before changing the output.
I hope this will work for you, as it did for me.

I'm not sure, but maybe you should get rid of the redundancy that you have in your CREATE TABLE statement.
This line covers all fields:
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
{code}
So I would change the field list to:
{code}
DATE1 CHAR (10),
DATE2 CHAR (10),
POL_PRTY CHAR (30),
P_NAME CHAR (30),
P_ROLE CHAR (5)
{code}
It worked on my installation.

Note that I had to interchange the two lines:

Just to get the access parameters to parse correctly.
I added two empty lines, one in the middle and one at the end - both were rejected.

Can we migrate SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows from DEV to UAT to Live without any issues? Any bad experiences?

Hi there,
1. Can we migrate SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows from DEV to UAT to Live without any issues? Any bad experiences?
2. When we deploy these workflows - does IIS need a restart?
Thank you.

That depends, did you create reusable workflows? Those can be deployed to another environment (of course depending on dependencies within the workflow itself)
Kind regards,
