Unable to change the sound device to your selected device. Please he

Hello,
I have the Audigy 2 ZS notebook and everything has been working great. I was just fooling around and I had my speaker settings on 4. as that's the amount of speakers I have. I thought I could try changing it around and I accidently selected 7. in the speaker selection. This caused the program to crash. I tried ending the speaker selection from the processes in the Task Manager but that does not work. So I have to reboot but here's the serious problem: I'm not getting any sound anymore, not from my speakers nor from my headphones.
Please help as I really need some sound. Should I take it out and reinstall it's Is there a way to restore default settings in the EAX console so I can at least change it back to 4. Thank you.

I am having a very similar problem only it happens whenever I try to open any of the creative sound programs ie: speaker settings graphic equalizer etc.. I get the "cannot change the sound device to the current device" I have to hit ok like 6 times cause it just keeps popping up over and over then just goes away, only diference is I dont lose my sound it just wont let me go into any of the creative programs.

    Thanks

    Hi Paresh,
    You can proceed with deleting your SAP system from SMSY (along with connected technical content such as AS Java definition) and the run the LANDSCAPE FETCH through transaction SMSY_SETUP to have the correct definition of your SAP system in SMSY.
    Following this, you could use the addon Landscape Verification (a new thing I learnt today!!!)  to check the correctness of transaction SMSY. The following link details the Landscape verification 1.0 for SolMan:

    Hope this helps sort out your issue.

  • I changed my Apple ID for an iphone 4s and need to change the iCloud Apple ID/password.  I am unable to change the Apple ID under the iCloud account information without the password which no longer exists.  How can I update my phone?

    I had to change the Apple ID used for my iphone 4s.  How do I change the Apple ID for the iCloud information? - the old Apple ID/password no longer exists and this information is requested to make a change.  I am unable to change the Apple ID for the iCloud account.

    Apple IDs never go away, so it still exists.
    But lets be clear. You actually stopped using an Apple ID and created a NEW Apple ID. You didn't just change the email address of your Apple ID? That means that all of the music and apps purchased with the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
    If you really did create a new Apple ID you will need the password associated with the old one to disable Activation Lock. There is no way around this. As I said, the old one still exists. You can use the standard tools to recover the password at https://appleid.apple.com.

    Hi
    In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
    on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
    down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
    Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • Is there I way I can reload the google calendar as I am unable to change the views or go forward or backward by weeks.

    Is there a way to reload the Google Calendar program on my laptop? Currently, I am unable to change the views. It is always on the current week. I cannot get the daily view either. Thanks!!

    This would not seem to be an Apple issue at all, much less for Apple Remote Desktop. These forums cannot help you with setting up Google Calendar on a Windows system. Perhaps you would be better served by taking your question to a forum related to Google's apps or at least a Windows forum.
    Or did you just forget to include details about what computer you're actually asking about?

  • I am unable to change the credit card billing information, is there a solution?

    I am unable to change the credit card billing info for our Creative Cloud Membership.

    Spooky6243 has the solution for CC updates (it worked for me, anyway!): log in to the Apple Store on your web browser (http://http://store.apple.com/us) and then update your account inof there...credit card updates will appear on the iTunes application after making changes thru the website...I wonder why Apple never tells us this in the first place? Probably because it should work thru either application...good luck everyone!
    P.S. - And make sure your iTunes app is closed before you make changes on the website (this may help you Geordon).

  • I am unable to change the computer name.

    I am unable to change the computer name of my MBP 9.1.
    When I edit the computer's name in settings/sharing the name reverts to
    the old name of Bill's MBP (2). I am attempting to delete the (2) portion of the name.
    This along with a 27" iMac and a MBP 7.1 are networked wirelessly
    through a older AP extreme. What am I doing wrong?

    I finaly took the MBP to the Apple Store.
    While waiting for the genius, I kept trying to
    change the MBP's name in sharing. After trying
    several things, control-enter worked. I have no idea why.
    The reason I'm posting this is that the genius
    reminded me that I could not be certain the change
    took until I restarted the MBP.  I hadn't seen this
    important step before and some may not be aware of this.
    I suppose this applies to any change made on your Mac.

  • I am unable to change the country

    I am unable to change the country on my Apple account. I click on change country and it doesn't take any action.

    Are you aware that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside ??  That could be why you are having problems changing locations.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
    From here >  The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
    Billing policy is the same for both the Mac App and iTunes Stores.

    Hi,
    Tap the iPod icon in the Dock. Then tap the Airplay icon just to the right of the volume slider.
    Make sure the iPad speakers are selected, not your wireless.

    How do you change the name on how your seen on air drop?

    When the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the left sidebar in iTunes (under devices), click once on the name in the sourcelist, and pause with the cursor hovering over the name for about a second. The name should become editable for you.
