T61 Audio Problems -weird audio control

I am sure I have done something to my system, but not sure what. The system has audi output from Rhapsody music player, Windows Media Player, and DVD movie player. The system DOES NOT have audio from within Windows Explorer.
The keyboard volume controls and mute work (physically). The disply pops up on the screen but does not reflect volume increse, decrease or mute. It never changes. The speaker icon has also vanished from the bbottom right of the screen.
I have redownloaded the latest audio drivers for my system, redownloaded DirectX, the UAAHD files, keyboard drivers, Thinkvantage keyboard customer. I have also tried a restore from previous backup. No joy. I tried setting audio properties in control panel to display the speaker icon. It is selected, but never shows.
What am I missing? I have college courses online that stream over the web that I cannot hear. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
James

T61 with WINXP and SP3.
I have the exact same problem. The mute button works, but the volume does not. Further the computer beeps. No wav files, etc. It worked yesterday. It might be intermitten. I did recently perform a clean install. It has been acting wonky since. If I reinstall the microsoft drivers (kb888111xp2en.exe) and then the lenovo drivers (soundmax) it starts working.
I even changed the registry setting to trick the microsoft driver that SP2 was installed because once SP3 is installed, the microsoft driver will not install).
I checked the regstry entry described below and it exists and is correct. Also, the desired file msacm32.drv) is in the win/system32 folder.
Any help is appreciated!

Problem recording from Line-in (Audio Control Pod)... NOT THE TIPICAL OBVIOUS PROBLEM (I think X

Hi guys!!
I have a little problem and i have think you could help me...
I'm trying to connect my electric guitar to my Audigy 2 ZS... My problem is that i connect the AMPLIFIED output of my guitar to Line-In in Audio Control Pod of my T7700 speakers... I Can hear the what i'm playing from my speakers but I can't record anything... I check all the obviuos things, like I have selected Analog Mixer (Line/CD/TAD/...) from Surround Mixer Tab drivers (Rec tab) and in Control Panel of Windows too. What am i doing bad?...
Thank you for your help!

May have already been answered, but, hey, what the heck, I've got free time:
Allow me to clarify. Plug your guitar into the Line-In on your <EM>sound card</EM>. Plugging it into your speakers only uses your speakers as an amp.
Then, in Creative Recorder select Line-In as the source.
Speakers, unless they're plugged into the mic jack on your sound card (which they shouldn't be), do not transmit data back to the PC.
EDIT: Line-in is this thingie (( )) with an arrow pointing inside.Message Edited by ghostrecon09 on 02-22-2005 05:4 AM

Problem with Creative Audio Control Panel

) Heya, I just bought a SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio and I've encountered a problem with Creative Audio Control Panel. My OS is Win7 x64; I have installed the newest drivers for SB. The problem is that I can't set my setup for headphones. I mean I can do that and it's working untill I turn off the PC or restart the system. After that it always sets for 2/2. Speakers. Any ideas how to make this thing to remember my settings the way I want it's Thanks!

[ PROBLEM ] Audio Control app wont recognise card properly

Hi
I have a X-Fi ExtremeGamer card in my Win 7 home premium setup and am struggling to set it up properly.
Long story short , I pulled out the X-Fi card and tried the onboard audio as I was getting an issue with the audio playing around using the creative drivers ( volume changes mid song, positional audio in games was often unusal ).
The Realtek stuff wasnt too bad but I wanted to try my X-Fi card again, it is suppose to be better after all.
Anyways...
I disabled the onboard audio , safe mode and cleaned all the realtek drivers out and any lingering creative drivers with Driver Sweeper, used CCleaner to clean up the reg and rebooted.
Installed the BETA drivers from creative and the audio works fine, but when I try use the crystaliser or other SB features the app complains
" The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit. "
I installed Daniel_K's drivers from a CD ISO he put out a while back, and the applications worked fine but the audio dropped in and out, so I downloaded the official creative drivers for my card and OS, and the application worked fine again but as with Daniels drivers the audio dropped in and out so I reverted to the beta drivers... and the audio dropped in and out as well.
I worked it out to being the volume controls on the creative 5. speakers , which every set of speakers I have bought from creative have had the same issue, the volume slider on the cable... after some use it messes up the audio and it becomes safer just to adjust the volume in the software.
After deciding the issue was with the volume slider on the cable, I wanted to re-install Daniel_K's driver pack so I could access the other features, now it suddenly doesnt recognise the device anymore, nore does the official none beta drivers from creative, nor does the latest PAX drivers ... all report the same issue:
" The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit. "?
I am starting to tear my hair out here, the audio works and the card is recognised in the Device Manager as 'Creative SB X-Fi' , I have clean the drivers , the registery , used the patch that fixes a bug where the update wouldnt recognise cards properly , re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re installed the drivers.... carefully EACH time.
I triple checked I was downloading the Win 7 64bit OS ver of the X-Fi ExtremeGamer drivers.
What now ?
ALSO Who thought it was a bright idea to put up the volume to 87% when you install drivers ? It also unmutes the volume if you mute it before restart, and it puts the volume back up to 87% if you dare to lower the volume before rebooting the PC to complete the install.
( NOTE: It only does this after the initial reboot to complete the install, subsequent re-boots leaves the volume alone )

I give up...
I sent a form to the tech guys , detailing the problem and outlining the steps I took to fix the issue...and they direct me to http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...aspx?sid=55438?, oh I can use Device Manager to uninstall , oh and Control Panel - Programs to unistall the Creative stuff ( note: I am being very sarcastic here ).
This is the information I sent the tech:
Detailed Problem Description:
Creative audio application does not recognise SB X-Fi card , card audio functions just cant control the feature set. Error msg : " The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit. " Suspect nVidia installing of HD audio drivers causing 4 (four) additional High Definition Audio Devices to appear in the device manager screen. Unable to uninstall these devices as Win7 auto re-reinstalls with generic MS drivers, can only disable. Creative SB X-Fi card listed in audio devices as 2 - SB X-Fi. Suspect the audio control application looks in the first slot and doesnt recognise the device and fails, doesnt look at the 2 ( second slot ? ) Tried a full uninstall including going to safe mode and removing drivers with Driver Sweeper, CCLeaner to clear out registry entries and removed the card, booted to windows without the card , re-seated the card and re-installed the drivers.

Thank you
and this is the advice I got ...
Thank you for contacting Creative Labs.
To avoid installing the incorrect driver on your soundcard, we suggest that you do a full uninstallation using the guidelines, steps provided in our website. Shutdown your PC then take out the card and make sure to place it on another slot. Second, disable your onboard audio and if your graphic card comes with any audio support as well, disable this feature.

S750 Audio Control Pod power problem?

Hi everyone,After powered on for 2 days, my Audio Control Pod of S750 gets power intermittently. Every time it lost power, all volumes were reset. Sometime, there is still sound when there is no power to Audio Control pod.Any advises, thanks.

From my search to this forum, I found some possible causes which I will try of course and will help also people with future problems:
Posted by digant:
Hi
According to my broken POD (see page 26 to know about my problem), unfortunately I found that the CPU (the 24 pins chip named M34502E4FP) is broken.
In order to help other guys, having similar problems, I explain the problem I found in my POD in order you can verify if your POD can be repaired or not.
The probelm in my POD is in the RESET pin (pin 6) of the CPU. It is SC (internally) while it should be set to 5 V (5V is applied to R9 which is then connected to C and also to the RESET pin of the CPU. C is then connected to the ground). In case the RESET pin is not set to a value about 5 V, all the LEDs in the POD are switched off and you cannot also switch on the system.
Unfortunately this chip cannot be replaced with a new one (you can buy on Internet) because it has also to be programmed (e.g. it contains also EPROM, CMOS controlling the volume for bass, sub etc...).
My problem is now to buy a new POD. Can someone of you sell me a working POD?
So in this case looks like, the cause is the pod. Now looking for new pod...

Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed. It is under the Software Solutions category.
You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.

H8-1287 Beats Audio controls do not work in Windows 8.1

I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed the IDT High-Definition audio driver from HP's website. The surround sounds seems to be working but the controls do not work to modify the EQ etc. I've seen the problem has been resolved for Envy laptops but all the links for the software appear to only be for the notebooks and not compatible with my desktop system. I've downloaded the available software (IDT High-Definition Audio driver) found under my HPE HI-1287 product from HP's support site but the Beats audio control panel doesn't seem to make any sound quality changes. Hopefully there is a driver somewhere compatible with my desktop system that allows controling the audio properly. Thanks.

Hello @KICR,
I understand that the Beats Audio Console is not adjusting the audio settings on your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. According to the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC Drivers page there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your computer. I can only assume that this means your computer is currently using Windows default drivers or Windows 8 drivers and the Beats Audio Console is not able to interact properly with the currently installed driver.
All I can recommend is that you check back periodically to the drivers page I linked above and see if Windows 8.1 drivers have been created. Other than that your only option at this time would be to use the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer back to Windows 8 where the Beats Audio Console has drivers that are compatible.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Need help removing Creative Audio Control Panel

So I've been trying to get the Creative Consol Launcher to work with my soundcard again and found that in my "Programs and Features" list in windows 7 there is one item of Creative labs software that I can not remove. It is called "Creative Audio Control Panel" and when I attempt to uninstall it it tells me "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallSheild Installation Information\{7E96A7F-AFE3-47-87B-583E37639E8}\SUPPORT.Cab not found."
Whenever I try to use the Creative Console Launcher it tells me "There are no supported audio device[sic] available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now."? I assume it's trying to launch Creative Audio Control Panel which for some reason or other is no longer present on my system but was never properly uninstalled. Also, great work on that error message - seems like Creative needs more proof readers.
In other words it seems the file I need in order to uninstall this broken program is missing - any idea what I should do? I've tried seeing if I can reinstall the program but I can't find any setup file for it online - all I can find is "Creative Console Launcher" which seems to intigrate a launcher feature into volpannel, but since it doesn't have the Creative Audio Control Panel to actualy launch it just gives me error messages if I want to get into my EAX settings or mixer or anything like that. If anyone knows how I can uninstall/reinstlal this program (in windows 7) I'ld be very greatful.

Well I believe I have found a solution to my problem and it is manyfold so here goes.
First off, Creative Customer Support Americas corresponded with me via e-mail and notified me that there are known issues with all PCI cards and Creative Audio Consol in Windows 7 (which is to say they don't work together at all).
After getting this info I removed my SB 0790 card and plugged in another one I had handy - it's still a SB X-FI Xtreme Audio but this one is has a PCIe interface and a digital audio in/out jack on the back to boot - this card is manufactured not by Creative but by MSI (licenced I assume) and came with my motherboard (good thing I had it laying around).
Initialy I had the same issue - even uninstalling everything related to creative and re-installing the hotest newest drivers from the site simply wouldn't resolve the issue. Finaly I downloaded a 3rd party program called CCleaner - a freeware utility that can clean up registry errors and delete items off the program list by force if need be (and it was in this case). I used that to completely eradicate Creative Audio Console and Creative Console Launcher, re-installed the latest drivers and audio pack for the PCIe card, and then even had windows update the driver again after that (the result of which was not a new driver version but it did seem to download and install something - no clue what). After all of that I once again had a functioning version of Creative Audio Consol back on my computer - and now it recognizes that I have a valid card installed and I've got access to all the features I was missing. The interface for Creative Audio Console looks a bit different than it used to (no longer a fake looking stero but instead a fairly plane interface) but whatever it's working and that's what I care about.
Oddly enough with all those installs it never put Volume Panel or Creative Consol Launcher back on my computer, I wound up having to install those off of the MSI card's driver disk to get easy access to the Creative Audio Panel again (otherwise I'd have to either make a shortcut or go straight into the install directory any time I want to launch it - now though I can launch it right through the Volum Panel).
One persistant issue still remains: In my recording audio device list I am still missing: "What U Hear" but it has been this way since I installed Windows 7 for the first time in October when it releaed, and I have given up hope on ever seeing What U hear again - If I want to record from my soundcard I have a 3rd party freeware utility called "Virtual Audio Cables" that are a bit clunky but get the job done.
Conclusion:
Though it may claim on Creative's support page for the SB0790 (Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Audio) soundcard that the latest drivers support Windows 7 it is abundantly clear that this is NOT the case. You will manage to get audio out of it, but almost no other creative aplication is going to work with your card or even detect that a valid working SB card is installed. It seems the only aplication I could get working relyably was the auto updator (which was able to see I had the card installed) and Volume Panel. By the admission of Creative Customer Support America, however Creative Audio Panel will not work, and I have observed that Creative Consol Launcher does not function properly either. Indeed even plowing through the file system you'll find support only for XP and Vista versions of the drivers - there is no Win7 specific driver for either this card or it's PCIe counterpart.
Also don't expect to have access to the "What U Hear" utility - this goes for the PCIe version of the card as well. As ever, it seems the marketing guys are making claims about the card that can't actualy be backed up, sure it's techincaly illegal, but only if your customers are willing to start a class action lawsuit over a 50 dollar soundcard that sort-of works anyway.
Issue resolved for now - and I am no longer pulling my hair out in frustration.

WoW SB Tap Chat not working, not visible in Creative Audio Control Panel

I just received one of the new Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Tap Chat foot pedals and so far... it's not been a joy to use
The problem is that the device does not show up in the Audio Control panel (the creative panel) as a configurable device. I have the WoW wireless headset and it is on and active (otherwise the panel will not display). The Tap Chat is supposed to display on the list of options under Illumination, THX, Game Audio, Key Bindings and then the Tap Chat should be listed.
I'm running the latest drivers for the WoW headset (1.01.0001). Windows 7 64-bit. The audio control panel lists as version 1.00.05 (in the panel about screen).
During installation (reinstallation actually trying to fix the problem) the Tap Chat pedal is listed in the registration application, so I know it's installed correctly and IS visible to SOME creative apps (ie the registration app, not very helpful) but not the audio control panel.
I think it's either 1) the panel is an older version and does not know about the pedal (even though I've updated to the latest) or something else is fishy.
Help welcome!
Thanks,

I've already called your support group. They didn't even know that the product EXISTED. Nor did they have any idea what the problem is.
It's pretty obvious the problem is due to the device not being detected on 64bit systems (yes, I can see the device on a 32 bit machine).
So if anyone has Windows 7 64bit they are probably going to be sadly dissapointed with this device.
Also configuration only works if you have the WoW headset plugged in... which is really odd considering you don't need the headset to use the device once configured (you can use it anywhere without drivers since it is essentially a keyboard with only one key).

Help - Creative WebCam Audio Control disabled

Hi, Just set up my Creative Live Vouce webcam for Skype use and everything is going well but when I select the WebCam Audio Control to play with the different settings it appears to be disabled. No option is highlighted and I can't select any of the options. Any thoughts?Thanks.

Yeah, it's very strange - I've been fiddling with it since; basically I get sound more often than not now when I turn it on.
When I plug in the headphones they always work - the problem seems to be the decoder; it jumps away from the dolby PLII settings to stereo, and obviously coming in through the optical cable there's no stereo...
Could it be something like a dodgy DIN cable, or is it something more serious?
It's become less of an issue now - it only cuts out occasionally, which while annoying is bearable.
Any help would be great.

X220 Smart Audio Control Panel failed to initialize smart audio

Cannot seem to start Smart Audio control panel get error every time. Currently running latest driver 8.32.23.2. Can anybody please help? I need to access the Smart Audio to control displayport audio settings. Aside from that the audio seems to work fine.

Yes, this is what I thought also. But I don't think it does. It has the s-bracket JSP2 connector but it (s-bracket) doesnt work.
It really doesnt matter now though as you can see I listed it on ebay with my old cpu. I will likely buy me an EPoX 8RDA+. It outperforms the 6570 in performance and has all the bells and whistles.
MSI has some horrible customer service. However, I must admit you have been very responsive and helpful but, you are not live tech suport.
I do appreciate it nonetheless. :D
I called their support long distance number and was on hold for about 45 minutes, off and on, and the last time I was on hold I put my phone on speakerphone and went in the other room. The guy came back on said, "hello sir? Hel..Click!" I didn't have time to say anything! I was so pissed I wanted to take my motherboard back right then. He kept having to ask other people questions about my problem. It was just plain rediculous. That is just one of the reasons this motherbaord is on ebay. I about to put my MSI Geforce4 4600 vtd on ebay also because I dont want to have to deal with MSI CS.
Thank you again, for all your help

Creative Audio Control Panel

I have just installed Windows 7. With an update to my bios, and newest drivers from both Micorosft and my motherboards website. I installed the newest drivers from Creative for my Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, and installed the Audio Conrol Panel. Every time i try and open the control panel I get this error below. Is anyone else having this issue. Any help would be great. Thanks in advice.
"The audio device supported by this application is not detected.
The applicaiton will exit."
Thanks!!

?Thanks for the link.
The beta Console Launcher has installed without a problem but the Audio Control Panel still isn't appearing in Window 7's Control Panel. The Console Launcher didn't install an Audio Control Panel in the Start Menu though and I thought that the Audio Control Panel was installed with the drivers rather than the Console Launcher (I could be wrong though).

Audio device not detected by Creative Audio Control Panel

I cannot get creative audio control panel to work, I keep getting an error message saying the audio device supported by this application is not detected. I have had this problem using xp, vista and now windows 7. It seems to work after a reformat and clean install but will eventuslly stop working again for some reason.
I have read a few posts with people having the same problem but cannot find a solution.
It is getting quite annoying having to reformat all the time just to temporarily?fix this so if anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I also looked at the details of the driver and it shows a whole buch of driver, even two unsigned. Are all these neccesary? Maybe I have to many old drivers conflicting?

Also the volume mixer seems empty, although it shows the playback device when pointing over the square, I can't select it.

Flash audio controls is gone from the Windows audio mixer.

Flash audio controls is gone from the Windows audio mixer. The sound is, but I can not control it separately from the browser. Previously, there was a separate flash and a separate browser. When I use FF3. *. Flash Player audio option was, but the new FF versions do not. For me it was very comfortable and loved.
How can I repay such opportunity? and whether there is still a possibility?

Thank cor-el, but it did not help. I tried everything ( I installed it all over again, several times , clean cookies I'm using [[BetterPrivacy 1.68|BetterPrivacy 1.68]] add-ons clean cookies ... ), but the problem is not in the Flash Player to crash. It works. But I can not manage alone plugin container volume and alone audio browser.
I am not a programmer, so I do not know how I can change it yourself.
Maybe someone already has it done? I would be grateful if you divide.
Sorry for my bad English. Here's screen shot if I can not clearly say:

Bug with placement of audio controls

I have run across a potential bug in the iBooks application. When using <audio> tags in book chapters with the linear ="no" setting in the <spine> section of the .opf file, the placement of the <audio> controls is incorrect, even somewhat random. I have tried various structures - paragraphs, tables, lists, they all have this same problem.
These same .xhtml files work perfectly when viewed through a browser or when viewed in iBooks with linear="yes".
Has anyone seen this problem before?

Thank you Steve. I do have Liz Castro's books, they are very good. Creating the audio content is not the problem, have done it many times. The problem is I believe a bug in iBooks that incorrectly places the audio controls when the section of the eBook set as linear="no" in the <spine>. This setting takes the section out of the linear reading flow of the book and opens it up in a new page, outside of the book. It's very useful for large tables, etc. Liz has examples of this on her site also. It works very well, except for the audio controls. While the function, it seems impossible to control their location on the page.
