Very low speaker audio. Please help

Hi all,
I recently bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit and before I installed it I could open a song file and really turn up the sound. Now that I installed my sound card I turn the sound all the way up and all I hear are whispers!
I've played around with the mixer settings and nothing happens. I would really like to get this problem resolved because I shouldn't have to be switching between Onboard and The Blaster card if I want to hear something on my speakers.
Another less important issue is my microphone. I can turn the sensitivity way up and I like this feature as I can be heard easily over voice applications such as teamspeak, rogerwilco, and ventrilo. However, there is an issue sometimes. From time to time I am forced to restart the application due to them hearing static but not any static, static that knocks their ear drums out due to it being so high.
I would really appreciate it if I would get assitance in this issue, as I am fairly good at computers and I have not been able to resolve this issue.
Thank you very much,
John

Hello Jeremy,
Thanks for your response. No, I do not believe that I uninstalled my onboard sound. How do I do that? I know how to access my BIOS and took a look before replying to this, but I did not see anything relating to onboard sound. What other names does this have? I went into a thing called I/O configurations and it has an audio codec thing I can enable and disble. Is that the onboard sound?
Thanks!John
Edit: Will this fix my low sound problem and static over microphone issue? Thanks again.

Very low speaker audio!

I just bought a L505-S5964 laptop and it has next to NO volume. Why even put speakers on this laptop if they don't put out anything. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes the sound is very bad/low right out of the box with these Toshiba L505 series laptops that use the Realtek HD Audio Drivers. Its not clear where the problem lies; Realtek, Microsoft (since I don't have trouble with the Realtek HD audio on a different computer under Windows XP, only with Windows 7 on an L505 series laptop), or with Toshiba ( a possible design flaw with the computer).
Here's one suggested fix that works for many of us who experience the low sound issues on laptops which use the Realtek HD Audio drivers. These directions are for Windows 7, other operating systems may require a slightly different set of steps.
First, Download and install the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers from the Realtek website. If the ".exe" or executable file version of the Realtek HD audio driver is downloaded, this file may need to be run twice (run installer, reboot computer, run the installer a second time, then reboot the computer a second time) to properly install the audio driver.
Second, once the audio drivers have been updated, enable "Loudness Equalization" on either the Start --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager --> Sound Effects tab, then click OK to save the setting change. Or on the Start --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> Speaker Properties (select Speakers then the Properties button) --> Enhancements tab, scroll down the list of sound effects to enable "Loudness Equalization" then select the OK button to save the setting changes.
Once the Realtek drivers have been updated and the "Loudness Equalization" has been enabled the system sound audio level is much louder, however the DVD and Audio CD audio levels might continue to be low for some users. Some find that setting the Equalizer, found under the Realtek HD Audio Manager Sound Effects tab or on the Speaker Enhancement tab, to "Powerful" seems to help with the sound levels.

Hello Kishore1022,
It sounds like you have a new album downloaded and the tracks all have a very low volume. I recommend checking to see if Sound Check is enabled in the Music settings.

http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99f37037
Go to Settings > Music to set options for Music, including:
Sound Check (to normalize the volume level of your audio content)

Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

Installed windows 7 64 bit on my macbook .. but now got my macbook without audio. please help me!

Installed windows 7 64 bit on my macbook .. but now got my macbook without audio. please help me!

You most likely installed Windows 7 in EFI mode. Can you confirm this?
If you used Bootcamp Assistant to partition your drive, you did not install in EFI mode.
If you selected "EFI Boot" at the boot menu before installing Windows, you started the EFI Boot installer.
Please let us know whether or not you installed in EFI mode because audio not working is a common problem in EFI mode, but should not appear in normal BIOS mode. (Normal BIOS mode is when you used Bootcamp assistant)

How to implement drop down list in WDP Abap....very urgent...please help me

Hi Gurus,
I wanted to implement the drop down list button in the WDP Abap interactive form. Once the users clicks on the drop down button, an RFC should be called and display the details under the drop down button. Please give me the logic with code. Its very urgent...please help me. Please note that it is in WDP Abap interactive forms. We are using NW2004S, ECC6.0.

Hello,
you have to use ZCI form to use DDLB in WD-ABA. The content of the DDLB has to be present at rendering time, there is no dinamic call when you click the "dropdown".
The attribut you map to the DDLB has to be an element with a value-set, and the value set has to contain the text / value pairs.
>> this will be displayed when you click the dropdown.
Best regards,
Dezso

Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps

RE: "P.S. I found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain text?"
I take it you tried using the "right click" menu? That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key and while holding it down, press the "V" letter key.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + X = CUT
CTRL + V = PASTE

To rule out a software issue, try to set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If this does not help, the problem might be hardware related and the phone needs to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

Very frustrated with Mail, please help

Hi All,
First of all, I want to tell you that I just moved from a PC to Mac, but I am very computer savvy so I had no problems moving my emails, addresses and all that to Mail, as well as performing any other tasks on the Mac. However, I have one VERY weird problem. Please bare with me as I explain....
I have 3 (three) email accounts setup in Mail. The two of them work fine. The third one has problems receiving emails, it does NOT receive emails at all.
When I try to setup this account, I get an error that the mail server is not accessible. I thought that the mail server was offline but I still tried to access the mail server through the web access. I COULD access it. Then I tried to receive mail in Mac Mail and I got NO error messages, but I did NOT receive any of my test email messages that I sent myself on that email. I was trying to figure out what the problem was, but with no success. Then I thought I will try accessing the emails through Entourage. I was shocked when Entourage DID recieve the emails from that mail server and that email account. Well, by now I was VERY confused and frustrated. Entourage CAN access the email account, but Mail can NOT access it!??! I am using exaclty the same settings for both and still the result is the same.
I didn't know what else to do, so I called the Apple tech support. They were also confused with the issue. They escalated the issues to the engineers and they told me that the server is an Exchange server and that I should access it as such not on POP. Well , no luck again.
So, to sum it up, I can receive email from this mail account from EVERYWHERE except from Mac Mail. I can also access it from Entourage on this same computer, from the web, from a PC laptop I have, but not from Mac Mail.
PLEASE HELP!!! I don't know what to do any more. I hate to use Entourage because I just moved from a PC to a MAC and I don't want to be using the same Microsoft crap (which unfortunatelly is working properly). Any advice and suggestions are more then welcome.
BTW, I did try all of things that I read in different posts on this forum on similar issues (deleting the "mail" folder in library, etc), but none worked. I also tried uninstalling Mail and installing it again, again no luck.
HELP!
Thanks!
Alex

I have no direct experience with Exchange servers, so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that for Mail to be able to communicate with one, it must be configured to allow IMAP access at the server. See the Mail help topic "Setting up your email accounts," which says in part:
"An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server."
IOW, if you can't convince the administrators that not everyone in the world uses proprietary Microsoft application "standards" (which of course exist for the good of the world & not just for MS), there isn't much you can do except use the crappy apps that Microsoft owns, along with the standards they enforce ... for the good of the world, of course. :-/
