Ubisoft Games with nForce1/nForce2 Sound Problems, Solved...

You play a Ubisoft game like Prince od Persia: Sands of Time or Far Cry (this one is a Must ) and suddenly you loose gun fire and half of the sounds of the game?.... this is a problem with all ubisoft games and the nForce based boards which is up the scene a long long time now Many people believed that this was a problem of the board's Southbridge overheating...but it is NOT!!!... It appeared strangely only in Ubisoft Games when nForce1/2 hardware Sound Acceleration was used....
ALL THIS IS OVER NOW ...
DOWNLOAD THE NEW v4.31 FORCEWARE AUDIO DRIVER AND PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!...
Patience Pays off,
nforce Soundstorm is the best integrated sound solution there is todays and one of the best in general, featuring unique capabilities like Dolby Digital On The Fly Media Encoder (dolby digital 5.1 channel transition from any stereo 2-channel media source) and unique quality (considered best choice when listening 3D Audio with headphones) and over the years it has become today an almost bugfree and stable product supported now by almost all game developers.
The feature for Soundstorm nForce Audio appears very bright. It competes equally with big names in PC Audio like Creative and is a much cheaper sound solution
Long Live Soundstorm!!\

From what I can make out, it\'s basic function is to help prevent your machine from interfering with other electronic devices (such as TVs, Radios etc.)
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the link.
It does say in there that it does tend to mess up the clock. Also why doesn't the VIA boards have this option?

7.1 audio in Games with Optical out/Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium

Hi All,
I just recently upgraded my speaker setup from inspire 7800 (which still worked great except losing sound on one of the rear speakers every now and then ... something wrong in the sub i think). So I went online, and surprisingly and sadly no one sells 7. computer speakers anymore, as to why that is a mystery to me.
Anyways, now I am running a Onkyo Home theatre in a box, which comes with a 7. setup with a receiver that i thought would solve my problem, but what happens now in games is I can only get 5. sound, and nothing through the side speakers, actually, it puts the sound through my side speakers and calls them the back channel. Currently it is hooked up from the X-fi Titanium via TOSLINK to the receiver, and I am choosing 7. speakers for my output in the Audio Console, and have tried both DTS and Dolby Digital Li've modes without success to get 7. for games (That's why I bought this setup!). I have a sad feeling it's only going to work with 5. sound for games (It outputs to 7. for music no problem). Is there any fix I can turn on to make true 7. audio go from the PC into my receiver and get outputted properly for games?
I also just wanted to say I'm not sure why 7. speakers seem to be getting shunned from all the?manufacturers, but it's sad that I can use 6 year old technology and make this work, and I assumed that with the new tech of digital output, I should be able to get the same result, but somehow, I can't get 7. sound for games.
Any thoughts anyone would have would be great. I'm thinking im just going to hook this up to my TV upstairs and plug back in my Inspire 7800 through analog and keep using them until they die fully, which I hope doesnt happen for a long time.

So in an interesting turn of events, I went to plug my old 7. inspire speakers in, and the problem i was having with low audio moved from a back speaker to my front speaker. So after testing moving centre speaker to the left input , and that worked for both, i moved them back, and now all of my speakers work fine! I was doing this before I bought the Onyko setup, and it wasn't making a difference at all, I was still getting low sound from the back speaker.. Strange. You've got to love technology. Well, no loss, I needed a good home theatre setup anyway. If anyone could still answer my question that would be great though?

Problems running PC game with bootcamp, graphics card problem?

I have searched extensively on answers to this question and I've gotten some vague ideas of what to do, but not a direct answer.
I recently installed a copy of Windows on my 15in Macbook Pro (the ones that came out right before the latest ones in late August/Early October 2008 or whatever). I did this in order to play Final Fantasy XI Online on my laptop. The machine is more than capable of running the game and I've read forum posts that had said that it works fine through bootcamp. I installed the game and was playing it just fine until one day the game began to lag really bad in areas where there were a lot of people or in other words something very demanding of the memory/graphics. I don't mean internet speed lag, I mean the computer would slow the game down to a crawl and the sound would be sort of garbled like it was some sort of feedback. It would happen periodically or if some sort of animation would start (spellcasting, etc)
I've tried everything from changing the settings of the game so that it's not as demanding to installing modified drivers for the graphics card (256mb Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT). I read that there may be some problems with the graphics and sound cards communicating which causes lag?
The computer also gets unnaturally hot while I run the game/windows in general. Could it be a cooling problem?
Please help!

PREY - Sound Problem Solved - SLI related, not SB related -

Hi Folks,
I have posted this in a few places on the web to help out people with PREY now that it has hit the shelves so they don't have the same issues I did. My story:
I just spent $ 75 bucks I didn't need to. I have a MSI K8N Diamond Plus running a AMD 4800+ Dual Core, with 2 gigs of RAM in dual channel, and two EVGA E-Geforce 7900 GTX 52MB running SLI. The mobo comes stock with onboard sound, which is a Audigy SE w/ EAX-HD. Turns out the sound is based on a Li've 24-bit chip soldered onto the main board. It is a 6 bit card, meeting the minium requirements on the box.Bought Prey, loaded it, and the game looked perfect but vocals were totally distorted and there was horrible static. I did everything, tried reloading vid drivers, sound drivers, nforce drivers, the game three times and still no joy. I came on this site and played with the hardware acceleration etc etc etc that I have read so often in many posts. No joy.So my buddy convinced me I needed a Creative X-FI card. So I went out and bought a X-FI Extreme Music. I went into the CMOS and disabled onboard sound, uninstalled the old Creative drivers, even uninstalled my nforce and vid drivers. Put in the new card, rebooted, installed newest nforce 6.86, rebooted, installed newest vid card drivers, rebooted, installed newest drivers for X-FI with the Fatality OpenAL support, rebooted. Defragged. Re-installed the game. Went to play it expecting to reap the beautiful sound goodness I worked for, and the same frickin problem. All that work, new card, same vocal distortion and static. At this point I started looking over my shoulder expecting to see my wife standing there with her arms crossed giving me the hairy eyeball with one eyebrow up and tapping her foot. You know how that is....So I went online, scoured 6 dozen mainstream and obscure sites all the way to Russia and found ONE site where one guy on the 0th page on the 5th post on it was talking about the DEMO he tried of PREY and he mentioned in passing that he disabled SLI and ran the game in single card mode because SLI interfered somehow with the sound.So I thought to myself, no way. I right clicked my desktop, went to Settings, Advanced, clicked on Nvidia, went to the SLI tab and cleared the box for "Enable SLI".Rebooted. Game runs perfect. Now I gotta explain to my wife why I spent $ 75 bucks on a sound card I didn't really need.But all that doesn't matter now, cuz I spent 5 hours on it last night. Words cannot describe this game. I've played them all - and I just have to say I want to meet the designers and shake their hands. This is the most beautiful, imaginati've, NON-repetiti've, refreshing, eye-candy drop dead georgous FPS I ever saw. The musical score is genius. The imagination that went into the storyline, and artwork is astounding. Most importantly, the gameplay is none other than spectacular.Enjoy it fellow SLI'ers. I hope this post helps you.Grog

You're late to the party. I am currently running almost the exact same setup as you with the exception of my 7900GTXs in SLI being from XFX, but that part obviously doesn't matter and the sound board being an X-FI Elite Pro.
Anyway, the onboard Audigy SE works great in everything with SLI enabled, but I obviously want to use the X-FI and that's where I run into the problems with SLI enabled. However, SLI isn't the problem given how it works for many other sounds boards and on top of that, the SLI architecture was around before the X-FI, so Creative needed to test against this more stringently.
Regardless, it's been known for a while about disabling SLI, it's just not a good answer. Thanks for the input though.
I agree about Prey, very entertaining!Message Edited by zcaa0g on 07-8-2006 2:23 PM

Audigy 2 with THX550 set, Sound Problems, Rear and Center Speak

Hi there !
Got a problem, everything worked fine before.
Same p.c. just an old and tired Windows 2000 Prof installation, moved to a new house, same computer, reinstalled everything with Windows XP Professional, and now.. my center speaker barely makes sound, my rear speakers.. the same. front 2 speakers blast with sound.
Changed the wiring, no effect.
Changed the settings, no effect.
Changed all the software, no effect.
I am lost for solutions.. does anyone know what is going on ?
The only thing i can come up with is that the volume for the center speaker and 2 rear speakers is not set right.. however in the software everything is set correctly.. even full power to the rear speakers wont increase their volume.
It also seems that the sound for the rear speakers is actually also coming from the front speakers.. real strange..
Anyone? PLZ!!!
Greetz,
MeMpHiSMessage Edited by MeMpHiSGT on 09-03-2006 :09 AM

@MrClueLess
The settings are synchronised, everything is set right. I cant find anything wrong with it, using the latest version of drivers, software etc. I have no other sound sources connected on my pc other the my webcam.
a complete new fresh install of everything when i moved in where i am living now.
Only things different from previous setup is that a Hauppage TV card was removed, added a Logitech webcam with Microphone.
Already disconnected the webcam, no effect
Its really bugging me because this setup from the creative stuff makes good sound, now suddenly i cant even watch a dvd anymore, simply because i cant hear the people talk.. the center speaker just wont increase its volume (like the rear ones).

Collections with no Authentication (public) problem (SOLVED)

Hello,
I'm having the next problem:
I have a page where I call an application proces with javascript. The application proces inserts a record into a collection. Everything works fine untill I set my page Authentication to Page is Public.
Now the collection doesn't fill up, my application process is being called but it doesn't do anything. My question is if I have done something wrong or is it not possible to work with collections when a user is not logged in.
Or maybe it is something with the Authentication of my application process?
If it is not possible is there any work-around for this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
OLI

Hi Oli,
Collections are user-session specific.
Provided the collection is create and manipulated during a single session (check the session id in the url to confirm this), you shouldn't have any problems.
If, however, you create a collection outside of a session and then login (eg, because you've moved from a public page to a page that requires authentication), your collection is lost.
So the first thing to do, if possible, would be to ensure that the user remains in the same session throughout the expected lifetime of the collection.
If this is not possible, then you should consider having a table to hold the information and provide the user with some means of transferring data from this table to the actual data tables or deleting data if it no longer required. Obviously, this would mean that you would need to incorporate some means of identifying the user - normally this would be a user id but, if they are not logged in, this may not be possible.
Regards
Andy

Hey there!!!

Why is this driver not on your page?!
Please fast help...
and this is a secure download you mean? ....
Jeez, calm down already. I never said you HAD to download it, but if you want any of the applications that work in XP to work in Vista then you're going to need that disk; either by downloading it or fromk here,?http://us.creative.com/products/prod...7&product=6743?

Maybe you really should take a vallium or something and re-read what I posted, then you may just grasp the fact that that is the exact driver I told you you needed.

Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

I had the same problem, but it disappeared yesterday. Try it run under root - it helped me. I dont really know how i fixed it, but it works under normal user now as well ...I hope there will be someone who knows.

Problem running games with GeForce 2 MX/MX 400

Hello,
I recently bought a new computer. The only problem I've experienced with it is similar to some of the problems mentioned in this forum.
To give you a better idea of my problem, here's my system resources:
Intel P4 2.0 Ghz processor
ASUS P4S333-M motherboard (ACPI BIOS Revision 1007)
1 x 512 megs of generic DDR RAM
AOpen ATX-300 GU Power Supply (Output: 300W)
2 Maxtor IDE drives (7200 RPM)
A DVD-Rom
An HP CD-Writer
SB Live! Audio Card
MSI Nvidia GeForce 2 MX/MX 400 (AGP)(64 megs DDR RAM) (Latest Nvidia driver version installed: 4.1.0.9)
OS: Windows 2000 Professional + SP 3
DirectX 9.0
The only time I've experienced errors is while playing 3D games. I've noticed choppy video performance, freezes in gameplay and spontanious reboots. The problem is also intermitant. Sometimes the games crash on startup, while other times it occurs after as much as half and hour playtime has passed. The games I've been having problems with include Warcraft 3 and Links 2003.
I'ver checked my system's Event Viewer and found numerous "nv" errors in the system log. Here's an example:
Date: 12/24/2002
Time: 13:21
Type: Error
Source: nv
Category: None
Event ID: 6
Description: Parse Error on CMDCD 00000001 00000e00 00260026 00000010 0004cd02
Another type of error found:
Date: 12/24/2002
Time: 13:21
Type:Error
Source: nv
Category: None
Event ID: 13
Description: GR SW Notify Error on 0001 d3d05601 00000096 00000d00 00350ea2 00000002
I've been trying to solve this problem for close to a month now. I've scoured various newsgroups and websites on the Internet. I've updated all my drivers and flashed my BIOS with the latest version from ASUS. I've tried reinstalling the games on FAT32 partitions. I've unplugged various storage drives from the power supply to see if the video card wasn't getting enough power. I've reseated all the cards on the motherboard and checked the temperature inside the case.
I've tried playing with various graphic settings in the Nvidia menu in Windows. I've tried various screen resolutions and refresh rates...
No matter what I've tried, the errors continue to occur. Based on other topics in this forum similar to this problem, I've tried looking at power supply, thermal, and BIOS issues. Nothing has worked. If anyone can suggest a possible troubleshoot for this problem, I'd be extremely grateful.
Happy Holidays,
Desoto

I did try updating the Sound Blaster driver and moving the cards to various slots on the motherboard without much luck...
However, (this is probably a stupid newbie question, but:) what exactly are the chipset drivers? And where would I look on my computer to find out what version I'm currently using? In the BIOS? In Windows?

Sound problems when playing games

I have just bought a new iPod touch. I've noticed that when listening to my headphones, when I play a game the sound goes very crackly. This goes for both the games sound but also whatever mp3 I happening to be listening to. If I exit the game, the sound returns to normal. It doesn't appear to be a problem in other programs (as far as I can tell).
Can anyone shine a light on this?
Cheers
Ross

Yea sorry, should have done that at the start.
I only have 3 games but over 10 apps. I only have problems with these:
– PapiJump
– PapiRiver
– CannonGame
It's not just when I'm using the headphone jack either. Even if I use the external speaker, I can be in the game menu and the sound is ok, as soon as it starts playing it goes crackly. This is both when I am playing a song or when I am just listening to the game sounds.

No TV sound - Problem with Pulseaudio and Gnome

Hi Community!
Since January 2013 I got big problems with the sound of my tvcard. The card is a Sundtek Media TV Pro. But after all the problems have nothing to to with the card itself!
So far I found out, that the problem is with Pulseaudio.
- Sound works under Windows on same PC.
- Sound don't work under Arch - not with tvtime, not with vlc, etc.
- Problem occurs even on a new installed system with the Arch-2013-02-01 install medium.
cat /etc/mediasrv.log
[1033] Pulseaudio connect reported an error (6 - Connection refused)
[1033] select error() in audio processor (can be caused because of pulseaudio) (Interrupted system call)
After setting up a new Arch installation with just xorg-server, gnome, tvtime and the sundtek driver from AUR I run journalctl -b:
Feb 10 16:25:15 hightower pulseaudio[636]: [pulseaudio] pid.c:
Daemon already running.
With sudo journalctl | grep 'Feb 10 16:2' I get the following output:
Feb 10 16:25:01 hightower rtkit-daemon[489]: Successfully made thread 488 of process 488 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '120' high priority at nice level -11.

Feb 10 16:28:55 hightower pulseaudio[997]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Start des Daemons fehlgeschlagen.
So, if I understand right, pulseaudio is alreade started by the rtkit-daemon and gnome couldn't start it again.
At https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30926 I found a hint concerning /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop and /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop.
After removing them from /etc/xdg/autostart and running journalctl -b there are no more errors.
With sudo journalctl | grep 'pulseaudio' I get:
sudo journalctl | grep 'Feb 10 17:4' | grep 'pulse*'
Feb 10 17:41:42 hightower rtkit-daemon[485]: Successfully made thread 484 of process 484 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '120' high priority at nice level -11.
Feb 10 17:41:55 hightower rtkit-daemon[485]: Successfully made thread 625 of process 625 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '1000' high priority at nice level -11.
In my opinion all looks ok! I also checked the channels with the alsamixer and it looks good, too.
So I ran vlc v4l2://:dev=/dev/video0:width=720:height=576:tuner-frequency=510750:adev=/dev/null:standard=255 - but still no sound.
With cat /var/log/mediasrv.log I checked the drivers logfile:

I started tvtime again. This time I ran rm -rf ~/.config/pulse/ and killall pulseaudio to kill the Pulseaudio server. I instantly got a loud noise out of my speakers.
I closed tvtime and re-opened it. And there it was: TV SOUND OUT OF MY SPEAKERS!
But now, when I run pavucontrol I get:
Connection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s.
In this cas this is likely because PULSE_SERVER in the Environment/X11 root Windows Properties or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured.
This situation can also arrise when PulseAudio crashed and left stale details in the X11 Root Windows.
If this is the case, then PuseAudio should autospawn again, or if this is not configured you sould run start-pulseaudio-x11 manually.
I got the information from Sundtek, that Pulseaudio should not be started as system service. Instead, every user should have an own Pulseaudio daemon and that PA was concepted this way. But they don't know how it is implemented in ArchLinux.
I also don't know it exactly. So the question to all you ArchLinu pro's:
How is PA implemented in Arch? And how can I sustainable solve my problem?
Thank you for your time and help!

There is just one more thing I found out.
After logging into Gnome and running ps aux | grep pulse I get:
rebel 727 0.7 0.2 444316 10288 ? S<l 03:02 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

rebel 843 0.0 0.0 17396 1184 pts/0 D+ 03:03 0:00 grep pulse
To get the sound to work I run:
rm -rf .config/pulse/
killall pulseaudio
killall -9 pulseaudio
I again run ps aux | grep pulse
rebel 4016 4.2 0.2 510124 11528 ? Sl 03:06 0:02 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

rebel 4046 0.0 0.0 19456 1216 pts/0 R+ 03:07 0:00 grep pulse
I can recognize that the STATs have changed. Maybe this can help to solve the problem?

Problem with recording and sound on Pavilion ze1000 series

I have an old Hp Pavilion ze 1250 running Windows XP (sp2) with 1gb Ram.
I'm trying to convert some cassette tapes to digital (with Audacity).
My problem: When I try to record using Audacity, it records about 10 seconds and then hangs. When I click Stop and try to play the 10 seconds back, it freezes and won't play anything. (After that, even if I import an mp3 file to work on, it won't play that either.) It also causes all the sound to go off throughout the computer. Songs will "play" in WMP but there's no sound in the speakers or headphones. (The Microsoft logo music won't play either when I turn the computer off.) I've tried resetting the volume and checking if anything is muted. Nothing .
I restart the computer and everything is fine.....sound works and Audacity plays.....until I try to record again.
I thought that this was only an Audacity problem....until I tried to record 60 seconds through Sound Recorder. The exact thing happens. It records about 10 seconds of audio, then freezes and refuses to playback. All the sound goes off throughout the computer and nothing solves it except Restart.
My sound/audio device is Conexant AC-Link Audio.
The Sound Playback, Sound Recording, Voice Playback, and Voice Recording are all defaulted to HP VIA Audio.
I have updated the audio driver. Recording is enabled. Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.
I'll try some of those suggestions and see if that helps.
