Very Strange - Mixer Record Source Setting Will Not Save - defaults to Microphone volum

This issue has me stumped.. I've even tried a clean boot of XP.
Firstly, I am using X-Fi Platinum, on XP, ASUS board
The problem is that both in Control Panel and in Creative Mixer, any changes made to the recording source will not save. In other words, when I close down the Mixer and re-open, the default source is Microphone with volume 0. Even if all I do is increase the microphone volume, when I close that window down, it becomes volume 0 again. When I try the approach through Control Panel it is the same result. The microphone is not "mute" but the volume slider is all the way down to minimum, so its the same result. Also, if I change the recording source to "What You Hear" or "Mic 2" , as soon as I close down the mixer window, it is back to Microphone volume 0
The strange thing is, I formatted my hard dri've and re-installed XP, and still I'm having the same problem.
Thanks in advance for your help..

I finally discovered the problem. It is the BlueBeat player that was responsible.
Here is an exerpt from a press release:
"Bluebeat.com uses MRT?s X SeCure technology which makes it next to impossible for an average user to save, record, convert or otherwise ?transcode? the audio streams on the Bluebeat.com"
But the problem is that it effects the OS at such a low level that doing a "clean boot" still does not fix the issue.
Keep in mind, that the BlueBeat player wasn't even running when it caused these issues. Fortunately, when I uninstalled BlueBeat, everything works fine again.
Moral of the story? If you have X-Fi, avoid BlueBeat.com, because you will lose all ability to record, even when not running their player. I hope this helps some people out there.

  • Music setting will not save in slideshow

    After I create a slide show and pick a song from Itunes everything works fine. If I view another slide show then come back to the one I was just working on the default sample iphoto music plays, instead of the song that I previously selected.
    Is there any way to save my preferences so after I save my song preference it will always play that specific song rather than go back to the first sample song?

    How are you creating the slideshow? By pressing play on an Album or using the slideshow button in the toolbar. If the latter and the problem persists, then try delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder and try again.

  • How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?

    I recently had my computer repaired where I basically had a complete overhaul. In the process they installed a second soundcard (the one that went with the new motherboard) alongside my original Creative Sound Blaster Audigy card (Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX). Before, when I would record audio into my computer, I opened the Surround Mixer software and in the record pulldown menu it showed all of the inputs as they relate to my Audigy interface (SPDIF, Aux In 2, Line In 2, etc.). Now when I open the Surround Mixer software, I only get generic options such as Analog Mix, CD Digital, Microphone, etc. and therefore I can't get any outside audio into my computer.
    I figured the computer?was defaulting to the?new sound card so I disabled the onboard audio in my BIOS and then installed the Creative Sound Blaster Series 2 Driver. I clicked on the driver and it said that it needed to uninstall another driver that was already there. The install went a little funny and it got hung up a couple of times. Then, I couldn't get Surround Mixer to work at all so I went to the Creative website and installed Software Auto Update. I downloaded and installed all the critical components?but that also went a little funny. It took about three tries and it didn't seem like it actually finished installing, but when I checked on Auto Update again, it said that I was up to date and that everything had installed. I noticed at the beginning that it installed a new version of Surround Mixer but when I opened it later, it still had those same generic options, not the the ones that match my external interface.
    What do I need to do to get my original settings back?

    >Re: How do I get my old Surround Mixer recording sources back?p audiodrome,
    Is the external Audigy Dri've properly connected? Does the Plat Ex have the rear jacks? If so, can you record from the rear LineIn or mic jack and play sound files through headphones or speakers? What happens when you run the Creative Diagnostic? What does Device Manager show? Otherwise, yes, uninstall and reinstall the Creative software. If your install CD has a repair option, try that first. However, you may find you need to remove the Audigy from your PC, reboot without it, and then reinstall everything. Some Soundblaster cards don't play well with some integrated soundcards, so you may also want to disable the integrated soundcard in BIOS.

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

    Prefs. are set correctly, Cache has been dumped, reset done, appropriate .plist trashed, and finally an uninstall and clean install done

    The problem still exists, making me very suspicious that this is a bug.
    Any solutions?  Let's hear 'em.

  • Outlook 2013 will not save Compact Navigation Option setting

    We have started upgrading some of the machines in our office from Office 2010 to 2013, (win7 and win 8 machines). I have found that Outlook will not save the selection of "compact navigation" in the "Folder Pane/Options" settings. I
    have tried a complete uninstall/reinstall of office 2013, resetting cleanviews, profile, etc. I cannot get it to save this setting. It always goes back to the extra large "Mail, Calendar, People, tasks" navigation. Any ideas? This is happening on
    muiltiple machines that we have upgraded from Office 2010. 

    Copying answer from similarly asked question:
    FOR THE FIRST STRING (To keep a compact navigation pane):
    Press the START button and type in "regedit"
    On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options]
    Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>KEY and name it WunderBar. Make sure you have the new key selected.
    Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it ABCompact. Make sure you select it.
    Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 00000001
    FOR THE SECOND STRING (To modify the order of the navigation items):
    With regedit still open.
    On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences]
    Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>String Value and name it ModuleOrderAB. Make sure you select it.
    Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
    Adjusting the order of the numbers will adjust the order they appear in. For instance in my case I wanted NOTES to show up fourth so my string is 1,2,3,5,4,6,7,8,9.

  • Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

    OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
    Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
    I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original).  I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:
    Attempt #1:

    Please help!  This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save.  I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
    Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

    I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
    ~CG
    UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

  • Custom Authentication in 4.2 will not save Authentication Function Name

    Upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2.
    When creating a new Custom Authentication the Authentication Function Name will not save in the Apex Create\Edit screen. After the Apply Changes button is clicked and the authentication scheme reopened - the Authentication Function Name will be cleared. If PL/SQL code was populated in the source field - it will still be present.
    Looking in the WWV_FLOW_AUTHENTICATIONS table - a new record is created but attribute_03 (this seems be where the Function Name is stored) attribute_05 and attribute_15 are null. The PL/SQL entered in Apex is there in the PLSQL_CODE field.
    All preexisting Custom Authentications that existed - there fields are populated and still work correctly. However, if you edit the Authentication Scheme in Apex it nulls out those fields in the WWV_FLOW_AUTHENTICATIONS table and the scheme no longer works.
    I can manually set attribute_03 to my function name, and attribute_05 to 'N' in the WWV_FLOW_AUTHENTICATIONS table and the Authentication scheme will work as long as you never try to edit it and save inside APEX( these fields are nulled out if you do this).
    Also - Authorizations schemes are behaving similarly.
    Checking the WWV_FLOW_SECURITY_SCHEMES table - attribute_01 is always NULL.
    No error is ever given inside the Apex designer.
    Any ideas how I can debug this?
    10.2.0.4.0 DB.
    Edited by: Bill14 on Nov 27, 2012 7:32 AM

    That's what happens when you don't pay attention to what you are typing (me that is). Edited original post.
    DB version is 10.2.0.4.0 (11.5.10 is our ebiz version)
    The PL_SQL column in WWV_FLOW_AUTHENTICATIONS is a CLOB. Looking at a a data view in Toad it abbreviates the field to say(HUGECLOB).
    This does not occur on apex.oracle.com and all of our 4.0 installs still behave as expected. The DBA said that he checked the install logs and did not see anyting out of order. I've never done an APEX install, is there a specific log file (or naming convention for a logfile) that I can tell him to look in or look for?

  • Will not save swf- "the parameter is wrong"

    I created a very simple file in Flash CS4, a plain background and two layers, each with some text which is hyperlinked.  I decided to test it before proceeding further, and it will not save as a swf at all!  I continually get an error message that "The parameter is wrong".  That's all.  I had the publish settings set to Flash Player 9 and AS 2.  I tried various combinations of Flash Player 8, 9, and 10, and As 2 and 3.  Same error message....
    This file has almost nothing in it!  What am I doing wrong?

    Weird weird weird- my Flash 10 was very twitchy for awhile today, then seemed to calm down, and I was also able to create a swf from a new fla file, in which I accepted the default publish settings of Player 10 and AS 3.  Later, I was able to do a SaveAs and change parameters to Player 9, but left AS at 3. Seemed to work fine......
    Some of the issues I have had with Flash, Photoshop, and also Fireworks, is possibly due to the fact that I bought CS4 and installed it in parallel to CS3.  Didn't want to lose work previously created in CS3 programs, but, oddly enough, Adobe has me registered properly as the owner of the CS3 suite, but when I try to register the CS4 suite, it claims the serial number is already registered (but not to me!).  Very odd, since I got that serial number via student verification through Adobe.  Oh well, I'll just cope, since I don't feel like sitting on hold for 1-2 hours waiting to talk to an Adobe CSR, who will likely suggest an (OH NO!!!!) re-installation....
    Thanks for checking that file.  The gremlins appear to have retreated for the time being.

    RESOLVED!!! I logged on to my Straight Talk online account, and did a Tech Chat. They immediately gave me a direct phone number and a Reference PIN number and asked me to contact their iPhone specialty support. I called (of course the gentleman's accent was very difficult for me to understand, but managed with asking continually for clarity). He walked me through several tests, setting changes and had me get on my wifi to obtain the latest APN settings. None of his efforts worked ad it was obviously NOT my Straight Talk iPhone 5, 64GB CDMA (no SIM) - it was something with their setting on their end on my account. I was placed on hold a few times and he would come back on to have me try to get on Safari and even Google... after the 3rd on-hold, he returned and asked me to try to use my data again without the wifi turned on and BINGO it worked... I still do not have my wifi turned on and I'm still receiving texts from YESTERDAY too while I was away from wifi service. IF you come across this issue - please call Straight Talk and/or log on to your Straight Talk online account and talk to an online customer service representative and get their direct line phone number for iPhone support and have your Reference PIN number available. Good Luck
