Vista 64 bit - All of Media sources aren't appearing

I found the cd..... installed, but not all the functions are there..... for audio it gives me the spdif out only..... THe only other thing I did was install a new processor..... still shouldn't it be able to work? any help thoughts?

Satellite L305-S5945
Windows Update remained red and informed that Windows could not update. Then it gave me a error code: 8024A000. It will not check to see if I need updates. ... Other than the updates, Vista is working fine on the new drive.
Can you give us more details about that situation, Mike? A picture would help. You can attach a small one by adding the .txt extension to the file name as I have done here.
In the meantime, try resetting Windows Update.
How do I reset Windows Update components?

Media Source Player 5 failing on Vista

Until recently, my Media Source Player 5 has been working normally, with no problems. But starting about a week ago, each time I try to start the player, I get the following error message:
Creative Media Source Player 5 has stopped working
I provides two options,
Check online for a solution and close the program, or
Close the program
I have downloaded and reinstalled the latest Media Source 5 components, but, I still see the failure. I then uninstalled everything from Creative, and then rebooted and re-installed everthing. The player still fails.
Would anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks,

click start?, ?all programs , click on the creative folder , find creative mediasource5 folder then find the creative media source 5 player and right click on it and select run as admistrator . that should work as i had same problem this worked for meMessage Edited by Toronto699 on 05-9-2008 06:9 PM

Media Source no longer op

I have the Zen Touch 20Gig and love it to bits - fabulous sound quality but, and it;'s a BIG but I too long for the FIRMWARE UPGRADE to allow it to be used with NAPSTER TO GO!!
Here is the problem though........
I have downloaded some software upgrades from the Creative site, and, I think this has been the trigger for Creative Media Source no longer opening when I click on to it!
I also have Notmad by Red Chair and this is working fine, but the problem with that program is that I don't think you can access Internet based Track Information (CDDB).
Can anyone tell me how to get Media SOurce to work?
I have completely uninstalled it, rebooted, reinstalled to no avail.
Alternati'vely, does anyone know ho I can automatically label CD tracks when using the more versatile NOTMAD software which is still well worth the $25 reg fee, because of the ase of playing tracks from the MP3 player on WMP0.

A window opens saying that MediaSource has "encountered a problem and will close" - clicking on the tech report it lists a load of error messages none of which mean anything to me! I have uninstalled programe again, and on instruction from someone at Support at Creative have deleted what was left in the Creative folder in Windows - although 3 or 4 .dll files would nt delete at all.
I am just about to reinstall 3 files from the Creative Donload site, on recommendation from them -
Is there any other way I can get Track Data off sites like Gracenote using Notmad - then I would not need to use MediaSource at all???
Thanks for your interest, I am leaving to go to Sicily for a week at 0500 GMT 0 September for a holiday with my wife -bit if do reply tnight I'll see it,

Creative media source and Live!

Does anybody knows what is list of selected cards that can use crossfading in Creative media source?
Why Li've! 5. cannot? Not even EAX?
Thanks in advance

If you have the newer 24-bit versions of the Li've cards then disregard the following.
Perhaps you've installed some of that updated modded stuff? (I've tried it at times too, but always returned to the official 252 driver/software Uni-Pack stuff.)
The software you've got is not designed for the Li've series of cards. If you used the official cd's for the Audigy 2 series (not ZS), it all works as long as you choose not to install EAX Console and Speaker Calibrator. You should also not install MediaSource Player, choosing instead the PlayCenter 3.02.52 and , on XP, updating it to 3.02.70.
You'll probably need to use the ctcomp.exe (search) on the Audio\language\Setup\Setup.exe file. So you'd need the cd copied to a folder on your harddri've so you can let ctcomp adjust the files.
Then you run AudioHQ and choose to run on startup and load in systray in the options dropdown and use the EAX Control applet to control your effects. The AdvancedEQ effects work as long as you choose the effect, click the ParametricEQ in the center, then tick the volume slider tab with your mouse, exit and save. You need to do this everytime you apply an effect.
Or, you can install the U-UPAX stuff which has been modded (driverheaven forum for links). I believe MediaSource works with their setup.
I'm telling you though, your card will not give you any extra stuff it is not hardware designed to provide. So, you still only get EAX and 2, no Advanced HD EAX 3 or 4.
And, the sound quality for music is superior with the official 252 Li've Uni-Pack setup. Unless you like overwhelming, booming bass and the midrange missing sounds. Those updated Audigy 2 and up drivers may have settings and files for the Li've, but they are tuned for the Audigy 2 and up.
The 3 best optimizations made for the Li've were the old Li'veware 3.0 vxd drivers, the APS mod for the Li've (both for 9x), and the kXProject drivers (for XP). By far the most problem free software package was the Li've Uni-Pack. And it sounds okay.
So there you go. Now, if after you uninstall whatever you've got, the setup file of the package you select doesn't say "No SoundBlaster hardware installed" you'll be lucky. Modern Creative drivers oftentimes remove something when uninstalled that messes up the hardware detection and if installing with CTZAPP doesn't magically let the software setup recognize the card again then only a format will fix it.

How do you Interface Zen Vision M with Creative Media Source 5 in WIndows XP?

I am having problems getting the Zen Vision M player to interface with Creative Media Source5 in Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
It does show up in the Device Manager System as a Portable Device and shows it working correctly.
When I try to download one of the updates for Media Source 5 it will not install "player not found message"
So now how do I get it to work with the Creative Media Source? It does not show this player at all.
Just a note: I did get this player to work in Vista 64 and interface with Creative Media Source 5 but could not download Creative Explorer with Vista 64.

Well thanks again!!! I must have downloaded the wrong file think it was the 38 version. I downloaded the 36 version and it works great!!!
I think everything is working on both computers. Im glad because I bought another Vision M from someone on HardForum.
One of the two might work for a Christmas present for my wife. Now we can get rid of our old Rio Players.

Install Media Source 5

Can't install Media Source 5 on Vista!
My Zen Touch with PlayForSure-Firmware is connected via USB to my PC and recognized by Vista (explorer and WMP ).
If I try to install Media Source 5 using CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_0_38.exe I got "can't find product".
if I try to install the plugin for PlayForSure-Players for Media Source 5 I got "can't find Media Source 5"
-> no Media Source 5 without plugin - but also no plugin without Media Source 5.
What to do?

Have you installed the software below in order, if it's already recognized by Vista you should not have any problems. This worked for mine. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. . Creative ZENcast Organizer .04.06 Suite 2. Creative PlaysForSure Devices Plugin 5.00.36 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer 3. Creative CD Burner Plugin 5.0.3 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer 4. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38

Monitor point of Creative Media Sourc

I had Creative Media Source 2 before and when I transfer vinyl record using the cleanup feature, I was monitoring the sound after the cleanup process.
Therefore, I was able to compare the change in quality by listening to my Hi-Fi and my computer. Now, After upgrading to Media Source 5, my monitor point is now at the input line before the cleanup process. Anyone know how to change the software setting so I can monitor the audio after the cleanup before the actual recording is done?vinylrecord

Ok.... I tried many times to put the PlaysForSure "firmware" on my actual player (I have version .0.03). The problem is I can not figure out how to actually put the firmware onto my MP3 player. Can someone please help me with this as I am leaving for Iraq VERY soon and I need to get the MP3 player to be recognized by Creative 5 and Windows Vista (32-bit). Thanks in advance.

How to optimize MF Media Source for MKV playback (containing H264 and AC3)

I've built a working Media Foundation Media Source for matroska (MKV files) using the sample for an MPEG Source. I've finally gotten it to a point where I can play the file and both video and audio are visible and audible. I followed the MPEG1Source
code quite closely actually.
However, I can't seem to make the video playback smoothly. Audio plays fine, but video just can't seem to keep up with the playback speed. It stutters and breaks up into blocks constantly.
The only thing I have been able to try is to remove as much dynamic allocation of memory as I can. While my parser parses the file and initially creates a bunch of objects on the heap (pertaining to track formatting, cue locations, etc)
, when I start actually parsing video and audio frames, I'm no longer dynamically allocating memory on the heap. I even removed a std::queue for frame lengths and created a fixed length circular buffer instead.
What else do I need to try?
I am simply parsing each of the video and audio frames in the order that they appear in the file. The frames are not Annex B compatible (for H264), so in the DeliverPayload function I replace the length section of each NAL unit within the frame
with a start code of 00 00 00 01. Then I copy the frame into the stream's buffer.
One thing that is very different from the MPEG1Source example is that I am not creating structs that contain all of the video "initialization" data (i.e. MPEG1StreamHeader, MPEG1SystemHeader, MPEG1PacketHeader). Instead, I am leaving all
of it as public variables on my parser class. So I am referring back to my parser quite a bit from the MKVSource class. I don't know if this affects anything.
Anyways, I'd be happy to elaborate to get this working... Thanks!
Lee McPherson

Just a follow-up:
I was indeed calculating the timecode / timestamp incorrectly. MKV uses a technique called lacing to stitch frames together and save space. While I was separating them and forwarding them correctly to the pipeline, the timecode in the header
for each laced block only applies to the first frame. I needed to add the default duration time to each successive frame laced in the block.
While not specifying the timestamp using the SetSampleTime method caused smooth video, it was actually playing faster than the audio. Each frame _needs_ a timestamp to sync correctly with the audio or other streams.

Creative Zen and Creative Media Sourc

A couple of years back I bought a creative MP3 player and it came with Creative Zen Touch software. Just recently I purchaed a new laptop that came with Creative Media Source 5. I used to use the Creative Zen Touch to load my music cds and transfer files from my computer and my MP3 player. My question is since now I have Creative Media Source 5 (along with Creative Li've! Cam and Sound Blaster Audigy) do I even need to load the Creative Zen Touch software on my new laptop inorder to transfer music files from my MP3 player and my laptop. Thank you in advance.

Can not activate EAX and SVM Support in Media Source Organizer with Audigy2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please there must be somebody out there able to me!Ive got an Audigy2 SB0240 (driver: SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe)? and Media Source (CMS_PCAPP_LB_3_30_2.exe) Windows XP Pro SP2So after the CORRECT Installation and?Updates to the actuall securely workable Versions by Creative Auto Update the Media Source Player/Organizerit is not able to let me use EAX or SVM. The well known error message: "there is no audio device detected" appears after pressing Ctrl E.Each process of is own (Soundcard and all the Creative Softwarestuff) is working absolutely correct so far. Ive tryed driver cleansweeping, deinstalltion of all Creative stuff, even by Driver Cleaner Pro, Ived pulled the Soundcard out of the system during?deinstalltion and tryed any driver version (from CD and Internet)and Installation description procedures which I could find here at the forum, during the whole last days!?But there is no way. Is there someone, who knows what to do? I would be very happy if?it works. Thanks for your attention and help.

TheDarkSide,
Actually what is happening is that MediaSource does not support the Audigy card. The EAX and SVM buttons require the EAX console and capabilities of the Audigy 2 or cards that were designed for MediaSource. The way that EAX was handled and implemented was changed between the Audigy and Audigy 2 and this is why MediaSource doesn't support the EAX capabilities of the Audigy directly. You can still modify the EAX settings from within EAX console for the Audigy but it isn't integrated into MediaSource like it is with Playcenter.

Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?

Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?
Some one please clear this up for me, it could be answered in the simplestterms from the English Language of course.
I've recently purchased the Linksys WRT160N however after purchase "of course"I manage to find reviews stating that the router will not work with the WindowsVista Premium, or windows Vista for that matter.
E.g.(Comments like These 'which are not my own')----------
"When I tried it with a new computer running Vista 64, it would install but the Linksys System Advisor would not. After 1 chat and 4 phone calls with support the system will still not run."
"It is a good product with XP, but if you use Vista 64 good luck. After several hours of working to get it running my patience and options have run out."
"It has taken almost a week for us to figure out that the Linksys Router, WRT160N from Best Buy does not workwith Vista Premium. I looked on-line to Linksys Website and discovered that the router, WRT160N is notsupported for Vista users. .."
E.g. (CommentContradicting to what has been said above)------
"Bought this to replace my outdated Linksys (new Vista laptop) and was blown away. Thisthing practically set itself up. It replaced the wired router and wireless routers I was using, asthe signal strength is awesome. I'm still pulling over 5meg ... "
So I guess one could see why I am confused, based on the 2 sidedcontradictions pertaining to this router actually working with windows vista ornot.
So can someone respond (preferable a Vista User) and tell me the truth as of towhat this router can an cannot do in terms of Vista? Thanks

It should work with vista without any issues if you are running any software on the computers (64 bit) from linksys it may not work but if you will connect that computer with an ethernet to the router it should work fine.

Premiere Pro CC won't read media source timecode?

We recently switched over some of our editing systems to Premiere Pro CC, but for some reason Premiere Pro CC isn't reading the timecode from our source footage. It works fine in CS6 and CS5, but on each of the CC systems, even though the timecode preference is set to "Use Media Source" the timecode that is displayed in the project window, the source window and even in the timeline with a timecode window effect added and set to media, the time code that is displayed starts from 0 as though it's set for "generate" or in preferences, "Start From 00:00:00:00."
All of our source footage is recorded on XDCam or DVCPro 100 and we've been using Premiere since CS5 without issue. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can you upload a short clip somewhere for us to take a look at?
BTW, exactly which version of CC are you on?

What is better creative media source or Windows media player?

Hey I just bought a new Zen player, and I noticed while ripping and uploading songs that the album art does not come along with it if I'm using the creative media source software. Now if I use my windows media player that came with my vista computer I do get the album art. So now my question is if Creative media source can't even do this simple task what is the benefit of using creative's media source? Are there things that it can do that windows media player can't do? Which is a better product to use? :smileyindifferent:angry:

tapdiggity wrote:
And I guess another benefit to creative mediasource is converting video files for playback on the zen. Windows media player I don't think has a converter for video files for the zen.
That is part of the Creative Media Explorer not MediaSource. The Video Converter is slooow & not that great. I do use the Media Explorer it is better for making & editing playlists.

MP3s won't play correctly in Media Sourc

I just downloaded Media Source 5 (5.0.38) for my Zen. I have discovered quite a few of my previously ripped MP3 suddenly don't play right. They played great in 3.30.2 and still do.
I ripped all of these myself several years ago. A single version of MusicMatch was used to do all the ripping, hundreds of CDs.
I've discovered this pattern. If one track of a CD is wrong, all tracks from that CD play wrong. Otherwise all tracks of the CD play perfectly.
With Media Source 5, when I start play on a bad track, the progress bar zooms across at about 0 times normal speed. When it gets to the right end, playing stops, despite the song being far from finished.
So I tried the MS Media Player. Also bizarre behavior. The bar shoots across just as fast, but the song doesn't stop with the bar hits the right.
Media Source 3 always works correctly on all mp3 files. Trying to find a pattern, I tried other mp3 players. Here is that result:
These are the ones that play it correctly:
Creative MediaSource 3
Nero Showtime
MusicMatch
PowerDVD
Garmin GPS
Wrong:
Creative MediaSource and mp3 player 5
MS Media Player
Based on the above pattern it doesn't make sense to be that just some CDs could be "damaged", since either all tracks or none of a CD are "bad". Also, the same program was used to rip them all. They play fine on most players, just not MediaSource 5 and MS Media Player .
Has anyone ever heard of this? It there anyone here that can examine a sample file and figure out what's "wrong" with it's My purpose here is to discover whether this is a player problem or something else. MediaSource could be using a Windows resource to play mp3 files which would explain why both it and Media Player both fail.
Thanks.
Bruce.
