Vista x64 / Logitech Orbit MP / XFi Platinum problem confirmed... PLEASE RE

I was wondering why my 7. option disappeared from my speakers configuration option. Turns out another person had the same issue with his computer and found out that unplugging his Orbit MP fixed the problem. (It was limiting his sound to 5.) Well I had the same configuration but took it a step further to disable the Logitech Orbit recording device in device manager.Problem solved! Im not sure if this is a Vista, a CL, or Logitech problem. I figure I'd throw this out there to let everyone know. Problem reproduced with: XFi Platinum w/ optical out going to external receiver 7.Logitech .5 Quickcam DriversXFi 2_5_0004 drivers (the newest ones) Would like to hear everyone else's comments on this. Thanks.

It's funny how some people say you can enable 5. with vista 64 using alchemy but for 10 days now I have yet to get a response.

  • PROBLEM RESOLVED: SATA RAID Vista x64 Driver Errors on P45 Platinum

    I have installed 5 WD 640GB SATA drives on my P45 Platinum PC build. Using the Intel Matrix Storage BIOS program, I configured them as RAID 0 (480 GB) and RAID 5 (2 TB) volumes.
    Now I am trying to install Vista (x64)--as expected, the Windows installer prompts me for a RAID driver floppy. I have downloaded the latest ICH10R drivers from the MSI Website and copied them to a USB key--the installer detects the drivers on the key but when I click Next, I get the following error message: "No new devices could be found. make sure the driver files are correct and loaded on the driver installation media."
    Can anybody help--I'm fresh out of ideas?
    The P45 Platinum board is a rev 1.1. I have not flashed the BIOS so I suspect that it is v1.0 but am not sure how to confirm this.

    When one of the board's controllers is set to RAID mode, it does not even matter if there are actually hard drivers connected to it, or not.  Vista is not attempting to locate a RAID volume but simply needs proper drivers to be able to initialize the controller.
    OK, makes sense. So when Vista was prompting me for drivers it was actually looking for the JMicron RAID drivers NOT the Intel RAID drivers. When I tried to install the Intel RAID drivers it--naturally--gave an error message.
    It seems that it is no longer necessary to install Intel RAID drivers when you install Vista as these are already available to the OS (must be on the DVD).

  • K9N2 SLI Platinum Problem? please help.

    I have a K9N2 SLi Platinum board and i set it up yesterday.  I'm having problems with some stuff though.
    Situation: I can start up the comp and all lights turn up bright and pretty, all fans work; good news.  But the video card stuff won't display on the screen... I doubt this is a motherboard issue but that's not what i'm asking help with.  What i'm truly asking is what does 4 RED LIGHTS on the motherbaord RIGHT ABOVE the 16x PCI-E 16 x2 slot mean???
    -Thanks in advance!
    LOOK AT POST AT BOTTOM!

    thank youall for helping with that problem, now i feel stupid for not noticing that should b eplugged in!...
    but if you guys would like to help me with 1 more problem that'd be great;
    Trying to get it so i can Install Vista via CD-ROM.
    When i started up the computer yesterday it would go to a screen that i could access the bios by pushing the delete button during that time... Now it doesn't come up thus i can't access BIOS.  Small problem but whatever.  Also when i start it now it goes to the black screen (console i believe everyone calls it) and it says:
    "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device or Instert Boot Media in selected Boot Device and press a key_"
    Please tell me what to do!  I believe the boot device is the HDD or the CD-ROM.  But in BIOS the other day neither the HDD or CD-ROM Drive would show in the boot devices thing.
    -Thanks in advance again!

  • MSI XP Pro x64 / Vista x64 drivers

    I was looking at upgrading from Windows XP Pro to Windows XP Pro x64 or Windows Vista Home Premium x64.  I was wondering if there is x64 drivers for for either of these two operating systems.  I have a RX2600XT Diamond 512DDR4 video card and a K9A2 Platinum Motherboard is on the way.  I looked at the hardware driver download pages and I saw a few for the motherboard but video card only has XP/Vista listed.  Does that include x64 versions or not?
    Do both of these products support XP Pro x64 and/or Vista x64?

    Yes.

  • [Vista x64] Microphone problems with X-Fi and 2.15 drive

    Hi guys,?I'm having a problem with the 2.5 drivers on my X-Fi Platinum card, under Vista x64. It seems the microphone inputs (both on the card and on the breakout box) have problems, any recordings stutter and pop rapidly, making any recordings (or voice chat)?quite useless. This issue doesn't occur with the 2.3 drivers. Is there any known solution to this problem yet?My system: e6600 CPU, Asus P5W-DH motherboard (975X chipset), 4GB RAM, 8800GTX, X-Fi Platinum. Thanks.

    hey Darkman,
    since I never had this problem with installing this software, I cant really tell whats wrong, but you dont need it anyway to use the x-fi.
    but you may want to try one thing, since it crashes at 27% something may still be in use, so check your task manager and close everything that has CT in its name. then try reinstalling again. If that still doesnt work, try to empty your temp folder, its located in documents and settings/user you are/local settings/temp
    if that still doesnt work, try maybe something stupid, wait a bit longer than usual and keep the install window in the front to watch the process, maybe your pc is just a bit slowed down by other software so it may take longer than normal

  • P965 Platinum and Vista x64 RAID config?

    Ok, I have looked all over this forum for Vista x64 issues. Nothing even comes close to my problem. When I load Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Edition onto a clean SATAII drive (single non-RAID drive) I have no problems what-so-ever.
    Now here is when it really gets weird. When I run install on a RAID array (2 SATAII Seagate 160GB drives) I see issues in the install. First thing I see is it corrupts the data on the first drive. This causes a blue screen at restart. When I go into the RAID config (ctrl+I) I see the first drive has errors. The only thing I can do is delete the RAID and start over.
    When I reinstall Win XP Pro X64 I have no problems at all. I have downloaded the latest drivers from the downloads section and I have tried the newer Intel drivers. Non work!
    Computer info:
    CPU: Intel 3.4GHz Pentium D x64
    MB: MSI P965 Platinum
    Storage: 2x Seagate 160GB SATAII
    RAID: Intel ICH7R/ICH8R SATA RAID driver 2006-08-29 (and have tried the newer driver from Intel)
    If you need more just ask!
    Oh yeah, I looked at the specs sheet for the P965. They need to remove the NEC 3550 from the "OK" list since it does not Wright period or READ at install. I went through a big deal with MSI about this and they still have not removed it.

    Well sh**! I borrowed a friends Vista x86 and found it to also have the same issue. Would not even load the "Choose Drive" screen or allow me to even install the RAID drivers.
    Man when a board gets Vista approved is must not take much. I have had compatibility issues with this board since day one. I think maybe it is time to through it away. What a shame since it is only a few months old.

  • What's going to happen to my X-Fi Platinum when I upgrade to Vista x64 and 4 gig of r

    Need info fast. Am researching for my new system overhaul and read all the problems with Daniel K, driver support, July drivers, etc. I need to know if these problems have been addressed before i put my Platinum onto my new setup. x48 asus board, 4 gig ocz, vista x64, Radeon 4870x2, z5500. I love my X-Fi, but I won't even bother putting it back in if problems still exist and/or I'm told 'new drivers are on the way'; not an option for a component I paid $300 for.

    Creative had nothing to do with DirectSound3D / surround sound issues in Vista. This was all MS. Microsoft removed the hardware layer for DirectSound3D, which prevents apps/games using DirectSound3D from accessing hardware directly. The result is that audio using DirectSound3D is processed on the CPU and will be limited to stereo-only.
    Games that don't rely on DirectSound3D will still function normally in Vista. This limitation is for all sound devices, not just Creative.
    Creative created a workaround for this so Vista users can still play DirectSound3D games with surround sound. This is ALchemy. ALchemy adds a .dll to each DirectSound3D game you select that will translate DirectSound3D instructions into OpenAL instructions.
    OpenAL is an alternati've to DirectSound3D that has been used in games since 2003 or so. OpenAL on Vista is still allowed direct access to hardware and so will use your sound hardware for processing and speaker positioning.
    Without something like ALchemy DirectSound3D games on Vista will be limited to stereo output only.
    There are also games that use software-only audio rendering like the Miles Sound System that will be unaffected on Vista also. Only games that use DirectSound3D are affected.
    EAX is a set of extensions to either DirectSound3D or OpenAL. EAX over OpenAL works fine in Vista, but DirectSound3D games won't be able to enable EAX effects because of Vista's removal of the DirectSound3D hardware abstraction layer.
    ALchemy will allow you to enable EAX for these games as well.
    For the most part ALchemy works pretty well. On a handful of games you need to do some tweaking (there are four settings you can change, although only two usually require any modification.) And fewer games are coming out that use DirectSound3D anyway, since Vista doesn't fully support it. More modern games are using OpenAL or software-based audio rendering.

  • Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro in Vista x64: "Skipping" (Distortion) when record

    Hi! I've just setup Vista x64 and installed the latest Drivers for my Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro. Besides the fact that there's no software available for convenient control of the features of my soundcard (Surround Mixer, Speaker Settings, THX Console etc.), everything is fine for playback (after adjusting the bass and treble-sliders to their 0dB-Position!). But I've got a massive problem when recording audio, or when using the microphone: I can play back sound from any source without distortion, but when recording it or using the microphone for VoIP-Applications like Skype, Teamspeak or In-game communication, I get a constant "skipping" distortion like the clicking when a CD is defective and skips.
    It sounds like short disruptions which come at regular, very short intervals (approx. 0 per second or so). This effect is always present, irrespective of the load situation of the system and does not change with it. In XP32, my Audigy 2ZS still works like a charme. Furthermore, I've got a "PCI Input Device" in Device Manager with a question mark, although the Firewire-Port does work. Could this be the Gameport not beeing recognised But that's not nearly as problematic as the flaw from above... Thanks in advance for your advice!

    I'd like to also add that I have been observing this same problem for quite some time now. While I do not frequently have a need to record, that is changing now and I would rather not have to reboot to Windows XP in order to have functional recording capabilities.
    I am currently running a dual-boot configuration of Windows XP/SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit/SP, with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard, and the latest drivers available for the card as of today's date (0/7/2008).
    A clip of audio to illustrate the problem may be heard by saving and playing the MP3 file found at http://ambress.com/audigy/audio_recording_fault.mp3. The following graphic also illustrates how the sound is like a series of recorded pulses, making recording completely useless.
    I would greatly appreciate any feedback confirming this problem by Creative and what solution is available or when one is to be expected. If a solution is known by any users that perhaps I have missed in searching the forum, of course I'd be grateful for that help as well.
    Thank you,
    Daryl

  • Problems Installing CS3 Web Premium on Windows Vista x64

    I was (key word) having problems with my installation of CS3 on my brand new (3 days old) computer with Windows Vista x64. Finally after two days of installing and uninstalling, I called Adobe support. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly they solved my problem (if only I had called sooner).
    Having worked on this for 2 days I have seen and tried everything except of course the cure. So I wanted to put this out there for any one else that is having problems.
    The symptoms:
    - Everything seemed to install correctly (except acrobat which is another story. you can find lots of post about that.). No errors during installation. And when it finally completed installing, all that was left was to click "finish" which indicated to me that installation was successful.
    - Open Photoshop. PS would open and immediately stop working. Vista said it was not responding.
    - Open any of the other programs and the little vista circle would spin for 5 to 10 seconds then nothing. Program did not start to open. Just nothing.
    The problem: Unbeknown to me (never saw an error message) "Licensing for this product had stopped working". When I described above symptoms tech support went straight to this.
    The solution: Download the Licensing Service Update and run it. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401528
    Once I ran this, Photoshop opened and let me enter serial number and activate CS3.
    If after your installation, Photoshop or any of the other programs seem to get stuck or you never get the dialog box to enter serial number, the Licensing Service Update should fix things for you.

    wow...thank you so much for this posting. I just got home & followed your steps and now I have CS3 up & running. After 4 days of stressing out, finally someone was able to assist. Why can't the Adobe Experts & Employees on these forums supply this much needed information?????
    I seriously understand why people want to get crack versions of this software rather than paying hundreds of dollars like us and avoid all this BS and get no support whatsoever!
    Thank you again!!

  • Acrobat 8.1.5 on Vista x64 problem with PDF Printer

    Hi all
    Forgive me if this is a newbie question... I *tried* to get direct support from Adobe and they spent the time telling me my support had "expired" rather than answer the question... nice... so thought maybe someone knows the answer.
    I have the latest version of Acrobat 8 on Vista x64.  Anytime I use the "Adobe PDF" printer to print direct to PDF from an application, the PDF gets produced OK, however the print spooler for this printer retains a print job with status "Error - Printing".
    The only way I can remove the job is to do it manually and a lot of times I have to Cancel it twice for it to work.
    Any ideas how I can stop this from happening?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Thanks... will give that a try and report back...
    Reporting back... nope it did not fix the problem.  But the repair process did damage the install of Acronis True Image so that it wouldn't load... I did a Repair of that install too and at least now I am back to where I was...
    Appreciate the help.  Anyone else have other suggestions?

  • Problems in Vista x64

    Hi
    I have problem with crashes in Vista x64. I was blaming nvidia but removing my SB Fatalty card solves my problem.
    What happens: When enabling SLI , sound crashes in games. Even without playing I get BSOD at boot (ramdom) this is ONLY when enabling SLI
    Anyone had similar problem
    My system:
    q6600, XFX 780i mobo, 4x2GB Muskin, 2x WD Veloraptors raid0, 2x 8800GTS 320mb, Supernova kW PSU, SB Fatalty

    Proxie_dk,
    Also,
    You might want to make sure that you have done the following to try and help resolve or workaround the problem more:
    Make sure you have set the correct timinns and voltages for Mushkin memory in BIOS, more information at Mushkin website under support.
    Make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS for your motherboard, as several manufacturers did release updates for the problems with NVIDIA and Creative compatability. Look at support section on the XFX support site.
    Make sure you are using the latest motherboard chipset drivers available from NVIDIA. 5.25 is the latest, and the international package is here.
    Make sure you are using the latest graphics drivers available from NVIDIA. 86.8 is the latest, and the international package is here.
    Also, perhaps not as important as the above, make sure you have the latest Windows Updates installed using Microsoft Update.

  • X-fi platinum gives out only static noise under Vista x64

    hello. I need some help getting x-fi to work under Vista x64.
    the card works great under XP. no problems at all.
    under Vista x64 drivers install fine. but the card only outputs very loud static sound. sometimes all the time, sometimes only when I try to play music. when I try to play audio the program usually freezes or acts like it takes much longer to play the sound. for example Vista speaker test shows speaker animation for much longer than normally.
    switching to Audio Creation mode usually helps some, but still only static.
    switching in Vista Sound->Recording devices causes a lot of static to be generated as soon as I switch to it (and nothing is being played).
    sometimes there's no sound at all (programs act normally then).
    I've tried all X-Fi drivers I could find (newest and older, including from X-Fi Vista CD) to the same result.
    tried 5. speakers and connect to front panel.
    tried installing drivers in safe mode. tried clearing old driver after driver un-install to reinstall the driver fresh.
    if it wouldn't work under XP I?would have sent it back, bet seeing that it works fine there I can only guess that it has something to do with drivers.
    any help would be appreciated. thank you.

    if anyone experiences the same issue, reformatting HDD and reinstalling Vista from scratch solved tho problem.
    I guess there was some conflict with the previous sound driver.

  • Problem with Vista x64 and Audible in iTunes

    I've made a clean install of Vista x64.
    Installed iTunes and started it off reloading my music. When it came to .aa files from Audible it prompted me for my audible login - which I gave. It then rejected my login and skipped all my audible stuff.
    I've now tried several times to completely wipe iTunes from my system and reinstall it (even tracking down all the config stuff it installs and doesn't remove on removal) and still have no luck. I've also tried the vista permissions fix.
    Problem is iTunes seems to think it's authorized on Audible as I have a 'DeAuthorize Audible account' option under advanced. If I enter my login under this, or when prompted when trying to add an Audible file I get a "Could not authorize this computer because an error occurred (-44012)" error message.
    Anybody have any clue about this, because google hasn't.

    I believe that's just to fix permissions if you can't play back music you've purchased from the music store.
    I did try running it anyway, just to see if it made any difference, it didn't.

  • Problem with XFI platinum fatal1ty sound from panel but not from c

    Hi
    I just got an XFI platinum fatalty card with front panel, I have only been able to get sound out of the ports on the acctuall card for about 3 minutes then it screetched and went off. Since then the most I can get is an EXTREEMLY quiet (I need to turn up my speakers and the card volume to full) and distorted sound from my center and rear left speaker (5. set). However the wierd thing is when I plug in the headphones into the front panel it works perfectly, the thing is if i switch it back to speakers i have to restert before the headphones will work again.
    I have tried to update the drivers but there are no newer ones, I figure I have it seated correctly or I would have no sound from the panel, I just dont know what to do.
    its plugged into a Asus Crosshair nForce 590 SLI AM2 Motherboard, I have tried it in 2 different PCI slots and nothing changes, I'm running XP.
    Help please, it would be much appreciated, I went through hell to get this card deli'vered and not its not working properly!!!
