SoundBlaster X-Fi drivers corrupt or not working "properly" without Internet access. Please fix!

The latest drivers located here are corrupt. It is a single exe file that does a CRC check before install begins. During this self check, it fails and stops extracting the files. As such I can not install the drivers. Now, I can probably even tell you why this happens. First I will start by saying that the install only fails on a system with no Internet access. Why so? Because if it has internet access, it updates/checks the digital certificate online. This is not good or acceptable for me as I install the drivers on offline systems and also even on my main Windows 7 setup, I multi-boot and have Windows XP on it too. When I initially install everything the first time, I do not start by first allowing internet access. No sir. That comes last. The first two things after the motherboard chipset drivers are the audio and GPU drivers. Then, a few other important things and then my security suite and then, finally, internet access. That's just normal.
Since this only happens to the driver file that supports Windows 8 (and all previous versions of Windows) and not the Windows 7 (and all previous versions of Windows) file, it's an issue that should be fixable. You may think it's not worth fixing, but I assume that this will truly be the last driver for the X-Fi card, and as such, can we please end it's life cycle with a driver that works on any O/S that it still supports?
Notes:
This issue only happens with the Windows 8 (latest) drivers. This does not happen with the previous (or any before) drivers. So this tells me it's an issue that could be resolved. Please check the digital signature settings on the Windows 8 drivers. Again, all other drivers work just fine on Windows XP with no internet. This issue only exists for the Windows 8 driver executable.
The driver file is not altered or corrupt. The digital signature only fails if it can not access the Internet, or perhaps a newer Windows that has updated root certificates. (ie: Win7)
Pictorial situation:

  • My VI not work properly (QAM mod - demod) Please help!

    My VI not work properly. In it, there are reed-solomon coding, convolutional coding, interleaving and QAM.  I am not a professional programmer. I make this VI with helping of built-in modulation examples of LabVIEW. BER is always at about 0,5. How can I correct this problem? (VI is in the link)

    Hello Kaykay,
    You mentioned that you built this VI using built-in modulatin examples, did you gather them from the Example Finder? Could you be more specific regarding the issue that you are having with the VI? Whatis the BER value that you are expecting?

  • SOME OF THE KEYS ON MY KEYBOARD WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. HOW DO I FIX THIS? I NEED MY COMPUTER ASAP AND APPLE WILL NOT TALK TO ME ON THE PHONE UNLESS I PURCHASE APPLE CARE WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD.(SORRY FOR CAPS ONLY WAY I CAN USE ALL KEYS)

    Fast answers:
    1. Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM and SMC. Doesn't usually 'cure' keyboard problems you report, but it costs nothing and only takes a few minutes.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3819550?start=0&tstart=0
    2. Try plugging in a USB keyboard. Doesn't absolutely have to be a Mac keyboard. A PC keyboard will work for a test. If the typing problem does not occur with the USB keyboard, you have a temporary solution until you can arrange to visit a repair facility.
    3. If your MacBook is older and has a user-removable battery, shut down the computer, remove the battery, and examine it for signs of 'bulging' or swelling. Then connect the computer to the Magsafe power supply, without reinstalling the battery, and turn it back on. If the keyboard problem has gone away, it was likely caused by a swelling battery.

  • U410 no sound, Win 7, new drivers, Conexant smartaudio not working properly

    Hey there everybody,
    I hope you guys will be able to help me. 
    I just got my laptop back from repairs and now the following problem is presenting itself:
    I don't get any sound from my internal speakers, when I plug in headphones, I can hear sound. The lever bar on the is moving and when I run a diagnostic programm, it doesn't find any fault with the speakers.
    Here's what I did so far:
    got my laptop back from repairs, went to listen to some songs on youtube when all of a sudden the sound stopped mid-video. Thought it was a problem with flash, so installed the new flash player. No change
    I deinstalled and reinstalled all drivers, all to no avail.
    Did a bios-update, no luck either.
    actually did onekey recovery - nothing. 
    The weird thing is, once in a while I'll get the start up sound and maybe sound for 1-2 mins (last night even 30!!!) and then it just stops. It doesn't make a cracking/buzzing sound when going out either, it just stops. 
    Of course I've tried deleting the drivers and running with the built-in speakers that work with some microsoft drivers, also no difference. 
    I've even tried disabling Intel Display Audio to see if there was a miscommunication between the two, but nothing. 
    I also ran a diagnostic programm from Microsoft, it didn't really find anything but it did say it doesn't get any "jack information".  And I also noticed that the location is: Path 0...so I'm not sure, if that's got anything to do with it!
    As you can see, I pretty much tried just about everything. Been reading every community entry with a somewhat similiar problem I could find, still nothing. 
    I'm super desperate right now...please help!!!

    Thanks. I have rolled back to .4.2_07. and that works. Also have set the update option to no updates (Cntrol Panel -- Java Plug in). However, every day I lose the sound even though no new Java update has been installed. strange.
    If I restore my system back to the older day it works. I do have the older runtime .4.2_05, .4.2_06 too.
    Is there any other location I need to set the updates off? Or any other driver conflict that is going on?
    Why is everyone not having this issue?

  • WRT54G not working with cable internet access - request for help

    Good evening!
    At least that's the time when I write this.
    I have a PC running Vista 64-bit version. 
    Until yesterday, I was connected to the internet using my WRT54G and a cable modem. There was a power outage (or blackout) and I lost my internet connection. I was not home when this happened. I got home and found the circuit breaker off. Since then, I can not access the internet anymore when I use the router. 
    If I connect the computer to the cable model directly, I can access the internet without a problem (hence I'm able to post this). 
    If I connect the computer to port 1 in the router, and connect the cable modem to the internet port in the router, I am not able to connect to the internet. 
    I have already:
     - updated the firmware to the latest version (it was already installed)
     - reset the router pressing the "reset" button for 30 seconds, unplugging it, and reconnecting power still pressing the "reset" button for 30 seconds. 
     - power cycled the devices
     - tested 3 differnet patch cables that I know are good and they work
     - reset the modem via a soft-reset remote request sent from the cable operator
    None of these options have helped me restore my router's connection to the internet.
    I know the router is working because I can print using my wireless printer and I can see my shared drives in the other PC I have connected to it,  but none of them are able to connect to the internet!
    Does anyone have any additional ideas on how I can fix this, before I go out and buy a new router?
    Thanks in advance!
    Pablo

    As you have mentioned in your previous post, that you have resetted your router and you are still able to Print from your Wireless Printer, I Feel that your Router is not getting Resetted properly, whenever you reset your router your router goes to Factory default mode, and it will change the wireless network name to "linksys" and your Network will be unsecured. Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable.
    Once you reconnect the power to the Linksys router, On your computer Open IE and in the address bar type (http://192.168.1.1) and hit enter, when prompted for username and password, Leave the username blank and in password type "admin" and click Ok. Below the Setup tab you will find MTU, So change it to "Manual" and change the size from 1500 to 1365 and Click on Save Settings. Then Below the Setup Tab you will find the Sub tab "MAC address Clone" click on it and "Enable" and click on "Clone your PC's MAC" and click on Save Settings. Now you can Unplug the Power from Router and Unplug the Power for Modem. Wait for 30 seconds, and 1st connect the Power to your Modem and wait till all the lights goes Stable then you can connect the power to Linksys router and once all the lights are sold. On your computer Open IE and check if you are Online. 

  • After using apogee duet, mac's built in mic & logic's track headers for recording are not working properly.  How do I fix it?

    I use logic 9
    After using apogee duet for mac, I was away from my home studio without the duet and wanted to record vocals via the internal microphone on my mac book pro.  (Obviously, I know it wouldn’t be the same quality.  I wanted to do it as a draft, because I had a melody in my head and wanted to record it so I could remember it later.)
    After opening up a project I was unable to record audio.  I noticed the track headers had changed.  Sometimes the “record ready” button was missing.  But whether it was there or wasn’t, the same thing kept happening… After pressing the “record button” or the “record ready” button a window would pop up that said, “No input source selected!”  I tried to trouble shoot by configuring track header and by going to prefereces>audio>devices>core audio, and switched the “input device” to “built in microphone,” and things like that, but I still would get the same pop up window indicating “no input source selected.”   To be thorough, in preferences under “core audio,” I have selected universal track mode, 24 bit recording, and software monitoring.
    Do I need to reset something?
    If your recommendations help fix the immediate issue temporarily, how do I keep it from reverting back to the same problem if I feel like switching between the duet interface and the built in mic in the future?  How do I keep it permanently from this malfunction?  It seems like this is something simple that would be addressed.
    Also, as I was trying to think of anything it could possibly be.  I wonder if it could be the driver I installed for an old m-box2 possibly causing an issue.  After getting my new mac book pro, I downloaded a driver for m-box2 (the second generation that came out in 2005 and used pro tools LE.)  I used the m-box on my previous computer and it worked well.  Since I purchased a new macbook, I tried to use it on my new computer, but since the m-box2 is a 32 bit system, it didn’t work very well, which is why I got the duet.  I don’t know if that could possibly be messing anything up.  If so, should I uninstall it somehow?
    Thanks

    Ok, think this through... you've changed from a stereo source to a mono source.
    The message reads: “No input source selected!”
    On the track you're trying to record there is an Input section directly underneath the  I/O label. Click and hold to select the correct Input for that track.
    Also, the project you opened was saved with the Duet's driver/interface parameters.. if you open the same project without the audio interface Logic will do it's best to pick I/O that's compatible but I've never seen any DAW do this perfectly.. it always takes a small amount of user input. Especially since you've changed from the Apogee to the internal mic.

  • Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Optical Out not working???

    Hey friends,
    I purchased a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCIe yesterday to run on Windows 7 64bit to trigger VSTi instruments. I can hear the VSTi play fine when I have headphones plugged into the soundcard but I want to send the audio sound OUT via the Optical Out into my Steinberg MR86x firewire audio card. ?
    I can see the light on the optical cable but no sound seems to be being sent from the sound blaster into the steinberg card.
    ?Now before people start saying you cant do that, I have have been doing this for the last 3 years and it has been great apart from my RME Audio card is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit hence why I purchased the soundblaster.
    I really am at a loss as to what I can try next, I have been through this forum and tried a few recommended tweaks but nothing? Am I missing something obvious here?
    I am using the following drivers
    Driver: v2.7.008 Windows 7 64bit
    DTS Connect: for Windows 7 64bit
    Also in the Audio Control Panel / SPDIF I/O all options are greyed out apart from the Digital Output tickbox, I only want to use this card for Audio as in creating music or specifically for triggering VST synths.
    I would really appreciate any advice
    Thanks in advance

    Re: Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Optical Out not working?I have same card, same?OS?and lots of problems.
    Analog outputs(control panel->sound->speakers) disappears when boot or reboot, sometimes it works week, sometimes a hours. When it works, it's works ok, but suddenly during boot,?all sounds is lost, when trying launch for example Creative Audio Control Panel this message appears: There are no supported audio device available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now.
    And when analog outputs disappears, no any sound via SPDIF, even it shows in notification area and control panel->sound and in device manager.
    I have owned card about two months, once change card in warranty, and?several uninstall, cleaning traces, reinstall and card works for while?and?out of blue, when boot computer, no sounds at all and only way to get sounds back is driver uninstall, cleaning and reinstall.
    Creative Customer Support seems to be clueless, but make Technical Support Request if problems continue. And all other too, if problems like that appears, contact to Creative, maybe they really try?to do?something abuot it and not just send instructions how to uninstall and reinstall drivers.

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)
