Surround Mixer doesn't keep setti

This a problem that occurs every day. When I choose a speaker config and EAX Advanced EQ setting, the speaker config sticks but the EQ setting doesn't. Rarely it will stick from day to day. This has been happening since I purchased the product - a couple years ago. I'm just tired of it and would like a fix. I have the latest drivers - which are pretty old anyway (any updates coming?).

Now I tried it with the Cleansweep. Still didn't work. On my CD, the file CTZAPXX.EXE was located in \audio\common\ instead of what was posted. It also crashed again.
I also tried "Creative3" for the folder name this time. Yes, I deleted the other one. After installation, I ended up with two folders again. Creative and Creative 3.
I need this **bleep** Mixer back. Can't do anything without it.
Please post a solution for this ASAP. Thanks.
UPDATE: Tried to install the Surround Mixer separately, but again it said it found the same version on my system. This is most definitely a registry problem.
***PLEASE provide me with the registry items to delete**** This is the only way I'll get a clean uninstall.Message Edited by cyberian on 0-5-2005 02:20 AM

Live!Surround speaker setting not showing in surround mixer for SB Live Platinum

the Li've!Surround option for speaker settings in not showing in my Surround Mixer
i have:
Windows 2000 sp4
SB Li've! Platinum 5.
ASUS CUSL2
Sound Blaster Li've! - Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03
Installed the speaker preset for li've!surround but the only headphone, 2 speaker, 4 speaker, and 5. speaker shows up on speaker configuration of the Surround Mixer
i've played the AC3 files on the cdrom and Dolby pro logic surround, I get sound from all fi've speakers on my Denon D-850 w/ Dolby surround pro-logic
I can't use the surround mixer to test all the speakers, only front left and right speakers work on the test, i have to open to wav files directly to test the center speaker, the rear speaker test doesn't work from the wav file
My Denon system only has analog stereo inputs, so this is my only option for letting Sound Blaster know I have 5 speakers.
I've uninstalled all SB Li've software and drivers from the unipack, and reinstalled the orignal drivers and apps from the CD-ROM SBP5-CDSD-W-US MID : 32680 5-Sep-2000 and the Li've!Surround speaker setting reappears in the Surround Mixer.
Is the Li've!Surround setting no longer available in the new Surround Mixer in Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03 ?

so I found this post...
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...7?dmode=source
it seems Li've Surround is no longer supported in the new drivers
....so what would be the best setting to play ac3 files or DVD's through my receiver with only 2 analog inputs (left and right) available w/ Dolby surround prologic. Should I set it to 2 speaker or 4 speaker setting in the Surround Mixer in order to send the best signal to the prologic decoder on my receiver with 5 speakers (2 front, center, 2 rear)

Audigy 2 ZS - Surround Mixer - REC setting greyed

Hi! I can't select my sound input device in the surround mixer anymore. Here is a picture:
<img alt="mixer" width="500" src="http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/09/mixeriq.jpg" height="302" title="mixer">
As you can see the slider is greyed out. My microphone works just fine, but I cannot adjust the volume anymore.
I'm using Windows XP, I recently installed Skype and TeamSpeak (checked both programs, the input settings are NOT on "automatic", so the Creative Surround Mixer should be where I adjust the input volume)
I can use the windows settings to select another recording device and adjusting the volume also works, but I want to use the creative mixer, this worked in the past and I want it back
Any ideas? Maybe I'm missing something important.

Hmm no but I reinstalled the latest driver (7 Jul 08)
http://de.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=495&dlcentric= 058&Product_Name=Audigy+2+ZS&filetype=&OSName=Wind ows+XP
Is that one bugged? Should I downgrade to the driver on the CD?

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist.

My iTunes doesn't keep track of my listening history anymore. It doesn't update play counts and default "Recently Played" playlist. But it still tracking plays from my iPhone and syncing them.
I've tried to repair it with setup file. Nothing's changed.
Can you help me with that?
NOTE: Now I tried disabling the crossfade feature and it worked, started to count again. But I like crossfade, I don't want to keep it off.

I think I got this figured out. The playcount does update, but not how the previous iPod models update their playcount. Instead of immediately updating the playcount right after you finish the song like the older iPod models, iPod Touch keeps the updates in memory. The next time you connect to iTunes it'll sync those playcounts in memory to the actual songs itself, effectively updating the playcount of the songs only after connecting to iTunes. I have set my syncing manually. That's why after connecting to iTunes, my playcounts are updated. BUT it doesn't solve the mystery of my Smart Playlist. Even though in iTunes, the correct songs are listed, in the iPod Touch, it shows the old playlist.
Don't you just hate that? It was working fine before on non-iPod touch models. Now we have to live with this new bug. I just hope when they release software 2.0 it fixes these bugs and that they *give it for free!* People shouldn't be charged on something they should have gotten as a support!

Surround Mix with Logitech Z-5500 Digital

Hello,
I have a project for a 3D animation short movie, and I'll also make the score and sound effect for it, to make a DVD.
I don't have Logic Pro yet; I have Logic Express.
Is it possible to use a Logitech Z-5500 Digital set to do the surround mix with Logic Pro ? Using the optical digital out ?
I have a very limited budget, so I'm looking for the cheapest solution possible, with the best possible sound.
I'm waiting for a Mac Pro 2.66 with an ATI graphic cards (for Motion and 3D).
Thanks.
G4 1.42Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

can't you pick the surround soundtrack in the control bar that is displayed close to the bottom of the movie window when you start one in iTunes? If theres no surround track, it cannot be done, furthermore, the speakers must be run from a surround home theatre receiver. Messing around with it on one of my desktops, I can choose the surround channel, but since it only has 2 built in speakers, I obviously won't get 5.1 (L/R front, center, L/R rear, and subwoofer). I agree iTunes should have preference that surround is automatically decoded when a surround track is available much like it's a preference in DVD player. I still haven't figured that one out.

Ipod audio doesn't keep up with video! help!

ok. ive got a 60 gig. ipod with a imtoo file converter. almost every time i convert, the file's audio doesn't keep up with the video. for example, at the end of the movie, the audio keeps playing! help plz.

"I think the best one to use is called videora."
Maybe you should first visit "Videora's" Website and read the Bug list...Things that are not correct":
Known Bugs
Audio/Video sync
Problem - Output files can be out-of-sync. While no set pattern has been established, it seems to be more frequent with input files of 23.976 fps, non-DVD rips, and WMV/MPG filetypes.
Workaround solutions - Try the custom option '-async 1'. If the disconnect gradually increases over time, setting 29.97 fps sometimes gets rid of the problem regardless of the input fps. You can also use AviSynth to assume the FPS and have the audio sync to that. If it's a sudden disconnect, check your VOB Cell settings in DVD Decrypter settings per this thread. Otherwise, test with an AviSynth script per the DaProphecy's method in the FAQ. For non-DVD files, PSPVideo 9 may be a good short-term solution until the converter stabilizes some more or try something like AviDemux.
Audio track not getting picked up
Problem - The IFO stream rip is fine, but the converted file has no sound. The debug info showed to audio track getting picked up. The most obvious case with this is the Madagascar DVD.
Workaround solution ideas - Test with an AviSynth script per the DaProphecy's method in the FAQ (untested). Use a different DVD ripper.

Keep resetting firefox, it doesn't keep settings (I.E. to open on my home page), and when opening a tab the 3*3 links aren't there.

When I set my Firefox to open to my home page, the next day doesn't keep the settings, and when I open a new tab, the 9 click links aren't there. I have reset twice and have no toolbars, but it repeats.

Hi,
Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].

Sound Audigy 2.....Microphone option is not showing up in Surround Mixer!!!!

I just updated the Sound Card Driver and when I finished with it and restarted my computer. It reset all my settings in Surround Mixer. I got them back to where i had them but not I can't get my microphone option back. I can only get What U Hear. The drop down menu is missing the microphone option. How can I restore this?
What started this all was from getting a new Logitech G5 keyboard. My sound was all crackling and some things was repeating itself while playing World of Warcraft. So i was told to update the driver, which didn't help but now my Surround Mixer is giving me heck.

Vista? Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording (tab) and make sure only ! device is set as the default, this should resoter your ability to choose the mic in the audio [email protected]

SB Surround Mixer Volume Bind Keys/Quick K

Howdy,
I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible (either with an external program or not) to assign quick keys or bind keys to functions within the Surround Mixer for my Audigy 2 Platinum.
For example, I have a Logitech keyboard with a scroll wheel on the side and I within the Logitech software it is possible to assign it to control the master volume, but for my purposes I would like it (or even some regular keys on the keyboard) to control the gain slider for the the Auxiliary 2 Input. This would be helpful to me, so I can mix the volume of my audio coming in via RCA into Aux 2 on the fly, while Im in a fullscreen application that is also running audio that doesn't take kindly to being alt tabbed - which makes it difficult to open the Surround Mixer Window every time I want to change something.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

It has no symbol on xev, and acpi_listen says:

I have no idea what to do for that.
From [ibm-acpi-devel] ThinkVantage key on ThinkPad X61
Is the mask value for this key 0x00000080 or 0x00001018?
Neither. In the documentation, you'll see a table with an entry for
each key. The table shows the "ACPI event" code (0x1018 in your]
example) and the "scan code" (0x17 corresponds to that event).
The documentation mentioned above is the README of the ibm-acpi,
where you hav ACPI events and scan codes explained. But, that's low-level thingy.
To configure the ThinkVantage button, simply follow instructions from the How to get special keys to work. For example, Open an application
where you can find out keycode with xev and map desired action with xmodmap.
(On my T400, under X11 the ThinkVantage button generates event with keycode 156. You need to check yours using xev.)

If someone has some tips/clues, please share.
Check the ThinkWiki article above, there are audio buttons explained too.

HT1766 Recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off".

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
Any suggestions

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Type copied from Photoshop to InDesign doesn't keep font, size, etc..

Is there a way to copy type set in Photoshop and paste it into InDesign and have it keep the font, size, leading info? Using CS3 here at work, and occasionally get Photoshop files with type for position, that we need to set in InDesign. I try to copy the type and paste it into InDesign, but it doesn't keep the same font, or size, etc... I've tried looking into the preferences, but don't see anything that would help my cause. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Steve

Bob, Thanks for the response, though not the answer I was hoping for! :-) You'd think that between the 2 Adobe applications, you'd be able to copy and paste type and have it hold all the info. Oh well.

ITunes genius mix doesn't work properly

Hi everybody,
On my late 2006 iMac with iTunes10 Genius Mix doesn't work properly.
After having activated Genius iTunes generates a number of mixes with different music styles.
When I scroll over the squares the play sign shows up, but only work for 1 of the 9 mixes when I click the play sign.
Clicking on the other play signs in the other squares does not do anything.
Does anybody know what is wrong here?
Thanks!
PT

I now know what is causing the problem, at least for the singer in question, but I don't know how to overcome it. I now know that the problem started when I downloaded an MP3 album from Amazon. This album contains 25 songs sung by 25 singers, INCLUDING Annette Hanshaw,THE SINGER I'M INTERESTED IN AT THE MOMENT. So, when I do an iTunes' search for Annette Hanshaw, I get her, but I also get all the other singers on this album. This puzzles me. I've downloaded many entire albums, but I've never run into the unwanted linkages before. In other words, I want to keep all of the songs in the album I just downloded, but I only want Annette Hanshaw when I put her name in the SEARCH bar. Is there a way to do this?
Are all the songs in all Amazon MP3 albums linked together in this way?

Stereo to 5.1 Surround Mix

How does one convert a stereo file to a 5.1 surround mix.
I've read through the various discussions & searched the web but have not been able to get help about this topic specific to Logic Pro.
I've got a 5.1 setup with all the panning done & I know about the bouncing of files for export.
My question is how does one actually convert the stereo file into 5 seperate files that sound right when played out together. What filters & setting must I use (delay, phase shift, levels) so as not to create an echo effect.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

depends on what you want to do by using surround.
talking about a music recording you can't simply convert a stereo recording into a 5.1 recording since you'd have to record to 5.1 in the first place. that means if you're recording an orchestra you need a 5.1 main system such as oct or oct2 or decca tree plus two mics to the back...that's necessary to capture the room's response.
of course you can always use digital (reverb) processing to beef up a stereo mix and add an artificial room response. but the results might be less than satisfactory.
and if you're into film sound you might want to have that airplane over your head...so you'd simply pan it.
i think you need to give us more input according to what you really want to do to get a useful answer...

Audigy 2 ZS and Surround Mixer in Windows 7

+?
Ok, I just installed Windows 7 Enterprise on a new HP XW 4600 workstation (NL, Dutch). This is a clean install. I have a Audigy 2 ZS (SB0350) and I dont have the surround mixer. Here is what I did:
?Install Windows 7 Enterprise and take all the pathes from Microsoft.
2.
?Intall the Audigy 2 ZS soundblaster? card in the computer
3.
?After the boot up I ingnore the message ?found new hardware?
4.
?I go to the Creative website and download the following programs
SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_00 and WAVESTD_PCAPP_LB_7_2_00? which are recommended for my sound card.

I realy need the Surround Mixer !!

/Re: Audigy 2 ZS and Surround Mixer in Windows 7? i got problem with recording any sound. Recorded sounds are terrible. Sometimes playing sounds are terrible too. i should restart pc for fix playing terrible sound.
i found 2 third-party driver but i didnt tried. Because of decription of 3rd-party driver ;
There is no DirectSound hardware acceleration on Windows XP 64-bit (x64)
The Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, disabling the DirectSound hardware acceleration and causing multichannel sound to be played only in the stereo channels (front left/right).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows XP.
- limit to less than 4GB the amount of RAM available to Windows.
- enable the ?Memory Hole? setting in the BIOS Setup, if your motherboard supports it.
Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting
