Subwoofer won't work in 7.1 surround with Audig

I've got a surround sound system for my new Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4 (not the pro version), and I have it all correctly setup but for some reason the subwoofer won't work. I have it set to 7. surround and as it is now everything is plugged in the correct place and all powered on and I know this for a fact because I've checked it, checked it again and rechecked it against the specifications for the Audigy 4 in the user guide and in the knwloedge base on the sb wbsite. The subwoofer does actually work too, so it hasn't broken or anything. I plugged it into the front speaker plug and it boomed away like it should do.
Everything else works as it should, the front left/right speakers, the front speaker, the rear speakers and the side speakers, just not the woofer. Does anyone have any ideas why not? I have the latest drivers installed and I cannot find anything in the Creative Audio Console or anywhere else sound related for that matter to fix the issue (unless I'm overlooking something, which I figured I must be?). I'd appreciate any help at all as I'm pretty much stuck, and with no bass playing surround sound just isn't the same.

Oh! I know what's happened now. I think. When you said there's supposed to be a setting for bass redirection it got me wondering... Then I realised what must have happened. I didn't install anything from the CD that came with the sound card. I instead opted to just download and install the latest drivers from the soundblaster.com website. As such (now that I look at the CD) there's a lot here I probably need which didn't get installed with those drivers.
Okay I've installed all the stuff I think I need now... and does it work? YES! I knew the solution was staring me in the face. Thanks you very much for helping me out I very much appreciate it.

I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?

Hello, Stephen.
Thank you for the question. You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

My speakers won't work on my new computer with a Soundblaster live! 24

When I was in college, I bought a Gateway computer that came with with Boston Acoustics speaker model BA735.
Recently, I bought a new Dell computer with the Soundblaster Li've! 24 bit and my speakers won't work. I have an old set at my house that works fine, so I know the card isn't broken, but I'd prefer to use my own speakers.
I don't know if I have to download drivers or change settings or what, but this is a pain. I have found some of the same problems posted, but they are usually involving a gateway computer, so I don't know if I can download gateway drivers for my Dell computer, I'm not very good when it comes to these things. Any help you can give me I'd appreciate.

HI,
In most cases this is about the Internet Speed or the portion of it your computer gets that iChat can see at the moment it tests the speed during it's launch process.
That is to say that as you start up ichat it tests the speed it can see.
this can be effected by other computer doing a download and "taking" more of the Bandwidth or rather leaving a smaller amount for your Mac.
The same is true if your computer is already doing a download or using the Internet heavily.
Of course at that moment your ISP could also have cut the speed you get.
If you launch iChat and go to the Video Menu > Connection Doctor what does the Capabilities tab say ?
This may have red crosses against some items.
Also check iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit
This should not be set at 100kbps fro Video chats.
Have you tried restarting the computer ?

HP FQ834UT USB Universal Docking Station software won't work on my HP laptop with Windows 7 64 bit

I am using Windows 7 and when i went to load software for my docking station, HP FQ834UT USB Universal Docking Station, it said it couldn't use the driver. Is there a software upgrade to allow this driver to work on a HP laptop with Windows 7 64 bit operating system?

I have the same issue - I have it installed on my Windows 7 64-bit machine and although it is running, it doesn't work. I am sitting here in Starbucks, which has a Verizon Wifi hotspot (actually Boingo - which is what Verizon Wi-Fi uses) and the "Connect" box does not appear. I had the same issue at an airport recently. It's one of the worse pieces of software I have had the misfortune to use. When it fails to connect, it causes the Wifi connection to drop (incompatibility with Lenovo Access Connections, maybe). I don't think that Verizon understands the meaning of "QA" and "Software Testing".

Subwoofer won't work

Hello.
I've a 5.1 sound system. I don't want to use all my speakers, just 2 of them, but I also want to use my subwoofer. My speakers work very fine, but my subwoofer doesn't.
Kernel: 3.3.2-1
Alsa: 1.0.25-1
Sound system (subwoofer included): Bluesky BHT 110
Alsamixer is correctly configured, and when I turn on my subwoofer, it sounds, so it's well connected.

Oh! I know what's happened now. I think. When you said there's supposed to be a setting for bass redirection it got me wondering... Then I realised what must have happened. I didn't install anything from the CD that came with the sound card. I instead opted to just download and install the latest drivers from the soundblaster.com website. As such (now that I look at the CD) there's a lot here I probably need which didn't get installed with those drivers.

Itunes won't work anymore...even with reinstall

Hello everybody, I hope you can help. I am working from a laptop which had itunes installed AND working with no problems for more than a year. All of a sudden itunes won't load. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, done a system restore...all to no avail. Can ANYBODY shed light on this? The message I get when I try to open itunes says "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" I am hoping some of you have had this problem and have a workable solution. Thanks!

hiya!
Rachyl's right about checking for malware. but you might also have some damage to your existing QuickTime caused by malware. (sometimes i've seen this message show up after people install Ace Mega Codec Packs too ... that does funny things to QT 7.0.3 and 7.0.4.)
try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.4 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

[Solved] Pulse Audio won't work on newly installed system with Gnome

About a year ago I got a new computer and more or less retired my old one with my first arch install. Recently, I decided I would set it up as a Linux system for my sister. I first updated the computer, which broke it royally (since it was last updated before the /bin symlinking happened) but I eventually got it fixed. However, after doing that, Pulse Audio wouldn't work, then I broke X and decided to do a full reinstall.
Now, on this clean install, Pulse is again not working. I have set up Gnome and gdm to work, and everything works great except Pulse. The wiki says that Pulse with Gnome 3 requires no extra setup, so I have not edited conf files at all. I have, however, installed "pulseaudio-alsa", which created this conf file:
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:
which seems fairly standard. Anyway, I tried removing it and had the same problems. When I have Pulse Audio running and try to play sound, I get the error:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
which is obviously trying for ALSA, or from mplayer:
AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused
Running "pacmd list" nets me:
Daemon not responding.
and pavucontrol gives me:
Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK
when I try to start it.
No pulseaudio commands seem to work (e.g. pulseaudio -k). They don't raise any errors, but also it doesn't have any effect on the server.
The only asound conf file is "/etc/asound.conf", clearing ~/.config/pulse does not fix the issue.
Journalctl does not seem to give anything interesting (Stale PID is the only message when starting Pulse), though admittedly I'm just vgrepping all of journalctl since I don't know how to narrow it down more, nor does the output from pulseaudio -vvvv. There are a lot of errors in pulseaudio -vvvv, but they all appear to be related to loading devices that don't exist, and so I assume not a problem, I can post it if necessary. Sometimes when I kill Pulse the process refuses to go away and I have to reboot in order to clear the process out, but I don't think that's related.
If I kill Pulse or keep it from starting on boot, I can play sound, but only through ALSA, and while I didn't have the problem I expected (I can still play multiple things simultaneously) there's still the issue that the volume buttons in Gnome will no longer work and that the volume levels ALSA reports are basically nonsense to a human being.
I basically just blurbed everything I thought of/found on the wiki or forums, and I'm not really sure where to go from here. It's a fairly old computer, so that could be related, and I'd be willing to dump Pulse if Gnome could integrate well with ALSA, but obviously fixing Pulse would be the preferred option.
Any suggestions on where to look next? I've run out of ideas.
Thanks.

Wonder if you have a conflict between two audio cards ... for example, I have a friend with some PulseAudio problems caused by conflict between the HDMI audio from his graphics card and his onboard sound. Something would switch PulseAudio to the wrong card and it would just quit after getting itself into a twist. Unsolved, I'm afraid, but have a look at commands such as:
aplay -l
pactl list sinks
pactl stat
(Latter two will need PulseAudio coaxed into life first)
and of course, the Arch wiki.
If there is a conflict, blacklisting kernel modules might also be needed.

Apple Remote App or Home Sharing won't work on iPhone or iPad with iTunes (Win 7)

Hi,
After I updated my Remote App (version 4.0) on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.3) and iPad-3rd generation (iOS 7.0.3) and updated my iTunes (Version 11.1.3.8) on Win 7, I no longer can get Apple Remote App to work or my Home Sharing to work with Music/Videos for shared library.
I've followed every step in troubleshooting for Remote App (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741) with system requirements, proper iTunes settings, Home Sharing setup, Network connections, restarting the network router, and checking firewall settings. I've also done every setp in troubleshooting for Home Sharing (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972).
I've done multiple combinations of signing out on both iDevices and iTunes with Home Sharing, turning them on in different orders, closing and re-opening the apps and iTunes, restarting the iDevices and my computer. No matter what I do, nothing works.
I've even tried taking my computer and iDevices with me to different routers (work, home, friend's house, etc.) to see if it was a router problem, but no matter what I do it will not work. I am looking forward to getting an Apple TV soon, but if these problems persist, the outcome of that possibility is unlikely.
Are any of you experiencing problems like this? I could really use some help.
Thanks for all your support.

I just ran iTunes Diagnostics (Help --> Run Diagnostics... --> "Check" Network connectivity tests).
I found this:
Windows Firewall is on.
iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
Connection attempt to firmware update server was successful.
Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
I checked my Firewall settings (Windows Security Essentials) one more time, and it IS enabled for Home/Work (Private) and Public.
I think I'm going to uninstall and reinstall iTunes and see if that helps.

Firefox 10.0.2 won't work correctly (formatting, paragraphs, editing) with a forum I use

I use the community forum on Cakewalk.com and found that Firefox 10.0.2 does not allow for responding to the posts of others, nor does it allow for proper formatting of paragraphs when posting and often causes the forum to issue error messages.
I never had this problem with earlier versions and to verify that Firefox is the problem, I accessed the forum using Internet Explorer and found no problems.

Did it ever work with a Firefox 10 version?
It is possible that the server doesn't recognize the Firefox 10 user agent and sends incompatible code and disable some features.
Try to modify the Firefox/10.0.2 in the user agent to Firefox/9.0.2 in case it fails on browser detection.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/latest-firefox-issues
*User Agent Switcher: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/
If that works then you can contact the website to inform them that they need to revise their browser detection code.

Aperture 2 Won't Work on New iMac i5 With 10.64

You can't use this version of the application Aperture with this version of Mac OS X. You have Aperture 2.0 message??

Larry,
You needed to have updated to Aperture 2.1.4 before trying to open in 10.6.4. Did you run Software Update before trying to open Aperture? If so, is Aperture located in the Applications folder at its root level?

Firefox 12 doesn't load bookmarks in sidebar, home pages don't open, undo closed tab won't work.

Firefox 11 worked fine. Firefox 12 seemed to install too fast. Now, when opening Firefox, bookmarks don't load in sidebar, even though the top of the sidebar says "bookmarks." Home pages won't load on opening Firefox---only a new tab. Clicking on the little house icon opens the home pages. Display closed tabs icon is dark and Undo closed tabs won't work. Sometimes the toolbar with File, Edit, View etc goes so dark it virtually disappears. I have Vista OS. Reinstalling Firefox 12 didn't help. Is there a fix, or can I go back to Firefox 11?

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
