Soundblaster Live! 24bit Problem with

I recently bought this card along with my new headphones (Zalmans) intended for gaming.
System Specs:
Windows XP (SP2)
Amd 64 3000+
Sapphire 9600 Pro
2x 52 sticks Kingston PC3200
Floppy/DVD/HD etc...
Anyways the problem only occurs with the mic during ingame. Either using the voicechat provided or a third-party one. It still ends up a static mess when i use the mic (one person descibed it as if the mic volume was suddenly maxed out, like somone was talking into a very loud mic). I've tested the mic when im not ingame and its clear and normal. Ruling out a faulty headset, the problem is isolated with the Soundcard and using the mic ingame. If anyone has any suggestions.

the problem is with Dell which produce ***bleep*** PCs. You should read the knowledge base anout optimizing your Pc for better audio performance and you should contact Dell to see what they can do about it.Message Edited by Shingo-Y on 05-3-2005 02:6 AM

SoundBlaster Live! problem with mixer..

Ok this is what happens. WHen I click on the Creative Surround Mixer, a window pops up and says "there is no mixer detected in the system. mixer will now exit." Now if I restart the computer, it works again, but only for like -2 hours. Before, I would reinstall the whole hing with the DrvUniPack and it would fix the problem for 5-6 months. Now it doesnt matter, same thing happens. Any suggestions?
I have a Windows XP Home.
AMD Athlon .8ghz.
ATI Radeon 9000
Creative SoundBlaster Li've!
ty in advance. It really is getting annoying having to restart every time I want to change settings or somehting.

Uninstall everything and reinstall using this CD instead.

Soundblaster live 24bit problem

in all the programs for dj's like BPM, VIRTUAL DJ & Tracktor Dj
when i configure the two cards on the decks and play a song
on the right or on the left, the song play to fast
please help me is the second threads i post for this problem
and i am blocked with this 2 cards

Ive been wanting to set up a new system based of this same motherboard, but all the power supplies Ive found so far have either been brands Im not familiar enough with or I havent been able to find a definitive answer on if the power supply supports that -5V pin(usually both, unfortunately). Can anyone point me in the right direction for a PSU under US$100? Any suggestions of power supplies anyone has had success with will also be greatly appreciated.
Ive spent about the past three days searching and have finally reached my wits end.
Second edit:
I double checked the diamond forum link (it gave a link not found page the first time), I did get to see what was posted there, but since most online retailers and manufacturer websites dont give the best view of the main connector, thats not alot of help. The only websites Im comfortable ordering from also do not evne carry the suggested power supplies, or any other unit by those manufacturer.
FINAL Edit (I promise...kinda):
I double checked on NewEgg (and then double checked FrozenCPU.com), and I found one from OCZ that doesnt totally blow my goal of USD100 or less out of the water. Lists a -5v supply, and is 24 pin for the motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-104-155&depa=1
Same thing for 129.99 on FCPU, which is where Ill be ordering the power supply from.
I dont have any real need for the onboard adjustment dials of the more expensive series, and I really like the modular PSU design, not to mention the blue color scheme will work well in my blue-illuminated case.
Now, are there any other hurdles I need to be aware of?

Live 24bit - Problems with WinXP

Install winXP sp2 English.
Install driver + Surr mixer, speaker settings and Graphic EQ.
Sound ok, aplications ok, but when i reboot my PC, Surr mixer, speaker settings and Graphic EQ don't work, It returns system error:
This application has failed to start because CTIntrfc.dll was not found. Re-install the application may fix this problem.
But re-install NOT FIX IT.
Reinstall WinXP - the same thing, before reboot works fine, after - system error.
Install latest drivers - the same thing.
In winXP sp works fine many month, what's the problem?
There are no viruses on my HDD, because it after full format.
Please help.

you could try doing a search for the file
if you find it, open properties and check the date on the file, sometimes the installation program will not replace the older version that is already there
just a suggestion though

Live Data / Problem with file permissions

Just trying out an old version of Dreamweaver MX 2004. I am
using my webhosting service for remote server/testing server
duties. It is running PHP 4.3.10 and MySQL 3.23.58. I was able to
set up the database connection and test-retrieve a recordset with
no problems. In following the tutorial I found that Livedata
wouldn't work, it just giving me a warning about file permissions
being wrong. It turns out that when Dreamweaver creates a temporary
file of the work-in-progress to upload to the remote server the
file is created on the server with owner=rw, group=rw, world=r
which explains why it won't run - group has to be set to group=r.
The file is created on the fly and then immediately deleted by
Dreamweaver so it is impossible to manually set the permission on
the server and probably fairly pointless too.
I tried just saving the file and previewing in the browser
which again causes it to be uploaded to the remote server. The
first time this resulted in the browser offering a file download
box instead of running the page. The reason is - again - that
Dreamweaver is setting the uploaded file permissions to include
group=rw. If I manually set the permission for group to group=r it
runs fine.
It turns out that Dreamweaver is always setting the file
permissions on file uploads (checked php and html) to the
remote/testing server to include group=rw. Once I set it manually
on the remote/testing server to group=r for a php file everything
is fine and subsequent uploads of the same file do not change it
again.
I checked with the webhosting company and their second-line
have reported back to me that the default file permission they set
on uploaded files includes group=r so it must be DW that is causing
the problem by setting group=rw the first time. I confirmed this by
using WS-FTP to upload the same file (renamed) to the same target
directory and the permissions set were owner=rw, group=r, world=r.
So
Can anyone please tell me how to change the permissions DW
sets on files written to a remote server because I have spent
countless hours on it without success. From looking at other posts
in this forum it could be that other users are hitting the same
kind of problem with DW8

Stop using Live Data with a hosting account. Set up PHP and
MySQL locally on
your machine. That is how it's supposed to work. You
shouldn't test files on
the fly on a host as you write them. Change your test account
in DW to use
the local server. Upload your files to your remote server
after they are
fully tested.

Soundblaster Live 24bit Prob

Hi i've been having problems with my new Sb li've 24bit card, having problems in some games that i can't seem to remedy was hoping i could get some help or ideas to try.
Heres the problems i have, when playing 2 of my favorite games Il2 Forgotten battles, and World War II Online I experience crackling , some sounds are to faint and some are to loud.. sounds are more loud if i look up appose to looking forward or to the side at objects making the noise.. Some sounds are missing altogether.
I think both these games use Directx for there sounds. Must be a problem with directx.. I've tried everything to fix the problem and nothing makes a diffrence. I've reinstall the drivers 4 times, tried playing with all the settings for the soundcard like speaker settings, equalizer, EaX, bass booster, lowering hardware acceleration for sound in directx, tried diffrent settings in the games setup and nothing seems to help.
I alos have windows Xp Pro fully updated and directx 9.0c, and all other drivers are updated including my motherboard drivers. it seems like to me.. that maybe its not positioning the sounds threw my headphones correctly.. even thou i have headphones selected in speaker settings sounds like its working in surround sound threw my headphones and missing some of it.. i donno.. But anyways thx for any help in advanced.

Yes i updated the drivers for my graphics card as well, i have tried 2 diffrent video card drivers . I've updated every driver for my system and tried some older drivers for my motherboard to. I've tried everything in that knowledgebase article as well over the last couple days and nothing seems to make a diffrence. I don' have another system to try the card in at the moment but today i put my old SB li've Value card back in and tested these games and the sound was perfect.. maybe this card just dosen't work well with certian sound technologys? or maybe its just defecti've i donno.. Is there anything else i can try?
Thx for the reply

Live picture problem with dreamweaver CS4

Hi all,
I am having problems inserting images onto my website. In design view I can view all images perfectly, however when I run the website live the images fail to display. Instead of the picture, the name of the picture appears with a red error cross in a box. These pictures are in the appropriate format (e.gjpeg & gif) so I am very confused and not sure what to do.
I would really would appreciate if anyone could assist me with this.
Thanks guys.

Live stream problem with FMS 4.5 + FMLE

Hi,
I've got a live stream (and DVR) setup using FMS 4.5 and FMLE.
The hardware for the FMS server we use is 2x Xeon E5645 2.4GHz, 32GB RAM, OCZ RevoDrive R3 X2 PCI-e SSD. Installed OS is CentOS 5.8.
We have 6 workstation PCs, each equiped with 4 BlackMagic Intensity PRO capture cards and FMLE 3.2. Using these PCs we stream Live video to FMS server.
Video stream is grabbed from HDMI cable, to BlackMagic Cards, which are encoding by FMLE using H.264 format, 700kbps bitrate per stream.
Video stream is published to server through RTMP stream, which is later saved for DVR in RAW format. We only keep 3 days of recording and delete the old ones.
Server and Encoder PCs are in the same network, connected by gigabit managed switch.
The problem I'm having is that after 10-15 hours FMLE starts to drop frames, because video buffer is increased. What I observed is that this happens immediately when Server CPU load increases above 60%.
Based on the above observation I decreased the number of channels streamed by the server to 10, which reduced CPU load. But the problem still persists.
Whenever I restart FMS and delete all DVR data, the CPU load (when streaming 10 live channels) is only 1%, but after 2 days CPU load increases to 50-60%.
Whenever I restart FMS and don't delete DVR data, the CPU load is 5-10%, and after 2 days it still increases to 60-70%.
Another thing I observed is that there is only single fmscore process running, but it has lots of threads which are switched on and off in split seconds. These threads are launched on different CPU cores, but at any given point in time the distribution of the load isn't equal among CPU cores. This leads certain CPU cores being loaded by more than 60% and frame drops start to occur.
For the moment there are just 10 users watching this service, so I don't think this load accounts for the problem.
Has anybody had similar problem, or know how can I optimize or finetune the system to run without problem? I would appreciate any suggestions.
Another thing I noted through last couple of days:
When I was restarting FMS the CPU load was reduced to 30%, but after 1 week past when I restart it CPU load only goes down to 75%. Everything is the same, nothing has been changed and there is no disk IO issues involved.
P.S. I've modified application.xml using these values:
<Scope>vhost</Scope>
<Distribute numprocs="5">app</Distribute>
<LifeTime>
<RollOver></RollOver>
<MaxCores></MaxCores>
</LifeTime>

Hi
How many channels are you publishing?
If there are too many channels, it is recommended to have one FMSCore process start for each of them. To do so, you will have to change the scope to app.
---snippet---
<Application>
<Process>
<Scope>app</Scope>
<Distribute numprocs="3">inst</Distribute>
</Process>
</Application>
Also, to delete older content, you will have to enable disk management. Refer http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSeb6b7485f9649bf23d103e5512e08f3a33 8-8000.html#WSec225f632fa00875-23954b6f1300b641158-8000 for more info.

Soundblaster live 24bit, distort

Hi,
just purchased a new computer with a Soundblaster Li've 24 bit. The problem I have is that a while of playing sound the kard starts to produce static crackles and distortion. If I run a cubase project, it's fine in the beginning, but after some minutes, there will be a small scipping of the sound and the static distortion starts to appear. After closing the project and re-opening it again, it works fine for the next few minutes.
Any idea how to fix that?
Thanks,
Andreas

Try increasing the playback latency (can be set on software you're using for audio playback).
Try other playback drivers (from MME, DirectSound, WDM, (/WDM/KS (Kernel Streaming), ASIO/). If your audio application is not capable other than MME/DS drivers, then you can try Foobar2k (select the special installation) or MixVibes 6 (demo) (these apps are capable for WDM/KS and ASIO).
If still these issues, try to decrease PCI latency for graphics card (you'll find information on how to do this, by searching this forum).

Soundblaster Live - Popping problem - solved on my sys

I found away to eliminate the popping on my Soundblaster Li've that I have not seen posted.
I tried almost all the other suggestions and [size="3" face="Times New Roman">accidentally did this:
Windows Start Menu> Program list>Creative>Soundblaster>Creative Diagnostics - DO TESTS. After TEST have finished, then go to TEST SPEAKERS, when at TEST SPEAKERS, I changed the setting from "2 Speakers" to "5. Speakers" and then hit TEST. All popping immediately stopped. Speakers tested fine with no more noise what so ever?- I only have a 2 speaker system. When I put it back on "2 speakers" or even "4 speakers" the popping returned.

I upgraded my MBP15 to 10.5 on Friday. Last night, I was working on a draft that I had saved on my IMAP account. For some reason, I changed the "send" account to .Mac and the program quit. Then I got a message that I had never seen before about "resetting to factory settings" or something like that. The program would then open up, made new drafts for every minute I had worked on the message, 12:06 - 12:26. It would quit every five drafts or so, and then I would open it up after the "reset" message. By the time it was done quitting, 192 drafts were stored "On My Mac." At some point during this whole fiasco, I did see the "append" error several times.
I finally got the program stable and sent my message. I heard the "swoosh," but it did not save in the "sent folder." I made sure that, in fact, there still was only one "sent" folder for the IMAP account and tested it by sending an IMAP to .Mac test. Sure enough, it sent without saving a copy in the sent folder. The same problem happens with 10.5 on an iMac G5, but it's all good on my 10.4 mini G4.
Perhaps this has something to do with the Daylight savings mix-up. I've been using .Mac webmail this morning, and it adjusted back to standard time already.

Soundblaster Live 24bit External + Vista h

Ugh, what a nightware this is. Where do I start?
I installed using the installation cd that came with it and upgraded to the "vista" drivers on the creative website.
I have sound, but no CMSS and no working Line In.
Is there a workable solution to this?

I downloaded the file. Unzipped it and converted the iso file with WinAr. It was/looked like the same CD I have. It would not install anything because it did not recognize a soundblaster product,?but when I plugged in the card thru the USB a defalt windows driver was installed. I have been trying this for weeks with no luck. Somehow windows installed a default "usb audio" driver. The sound was all crackily when I played an mp3. I went into the hardware update and updated the driver. Windows found a driver to update with in the C:\windows\systen32 folder. It is now working fine.
Now my only problem is when I restart windows I have to unplug the usb with the soundcard attached then plug it back in when I am back at the desktop. I think there is a conflict at startup and the computer will freeze if the card remains plugged in but I have been living with this ever since I bought the card a year and a half ago. THe only issue is I am worried I will plug it in one of these times and it will not be recognized again. What a pain...

Onboard SoundBlaster Live 24bit probl

I just recently got a MSI nforce 4 motherbaord (platinum SLI) with onboard Li've 24bit. It works fine for low quality sound, but if i try and utilise it fully in games, like Halo, then it lags and only plays parts of the sound. I was wondering if it could be that the hardware it not fully accelerated but i'm unsure where to find that option.
I'm running XP with the latest drivers. Please help.
Cheers, Mcphie

i guess creatives products are just cack then! all i have read on these forums is how people from a variety of different soundcards, experience this pop and crackle noise. but yet, no proper drivers fix for most! and the fix they suggest rarely seem to work. certainly not for me!
quite frankly, im rather anoyed that creative are being allowed to get away with this. i for one will NOT be buying anything in your range again.
