W510, newest driver released in 7 Oct is still buggy. 4.95.48

The new SmartAudio is still weird, compared to an old version, can anyone clear my doubts? Thanks in advance.
Under the Volume Mixer
If Classic Mode was selected in Audio Director, it will have options to adjust volume for speaker/headphone and microphone.
If Multi-Stream Mode was selected in Audio Director, it will have options to adjust volume for speaker, headphone, docking, external and internal microphone.
Is this normal?
Under the Audio Director
I would like to know how does Classic or Multi-Stream mode works. As for my W510, if I choose Multi-Stream, the headphone bass will be stronger and music will be louder, but the onboard speaker will not produce any sound, not even with different sound. Is the audio director feature-set available in W510, Conexant HD20585? If not, why is this audio director feature-set is in SmartAudio in the 1st place?

Under the SmartEQ/3D Settings
First Problem
If the 31Hz is set to high/max, the sound and the bass will be softer, but if the 31Hz is set to minimum, the sound and the bass will be louder and deeper. (It seems like the range was reverse, higher is weaker, lower is stronger) Tested on Sennheiser HD202, onboard speaker would not be affected as it will not produce such a low freq, but affect headphones as the frequency range will be much wider.
Second Problem
If the 62Hz or 125Hz is set to high/max, the bass greatly increased, but the overall sound will be much softer and you have to increase the main volume to compensate it. From what I used, Hi-fi EQ or other computers EQ, increase the low frequency does not make the overall sound softer. (Affect both headphones and onboard speaker)
Third Problem
Phantom Speaker and 3D Immersion works for speaker in Custom EQ only, select Phantom Speaker or 3D Immersion mode in Off EQ or Preloaded (Jazz, ....) EQ, it will automatically be switched to Custom EQ. But a T400 allow you to use Phantom Speaker or 3D Immersion in Off or Preloaded EQ mode without automatically being switched to Custom EQ.
Fourth Problem
Click on the Enable Night Mode will create a sudden spark sound (high volume) and the sound will be slightly louder for seconds. Disable Night Mode don't affect the sound. Like this, what is the night mode for?
I am an audiophile and sometimes I help people to test out their project. Is there any newer driver releasing out soon to fix the following problems?
Thanks
Peter

New released driver: 4.95.48.50
Listed Problem
1st problem, not resolved
2nd problem, not resolved
3rd problem, not resolved
4th problem, partially resolved, no more spark sound, but night mode seems useless, no effect at all.
New problem happen after install 4.95.48.0.
1. The volume of the left and right speakers are imbalanced, even though the settings are balanced in Control Panel. Sometimes the left speaker will be louder than the right or the right speaker will be louder than the left.
2. The right speaker produce sparking sound when it plays short notification windows sound or when a media is played. I hold the backspace button to play Windows sound to prove that it is abnormal. It may be a speaker issue causes by speaker cable damaged by system overheating or sound chip/driver issue as it has popped sound on headphone/speaker when muted button was pressed. 
3. Both speakers does not produce any sound, the sound will appear just for few second and stops after the volume was adjusted, it makes the sound unusable. Intermittent problem. (So far not encountered in 4.95.48.50)

  • How do i install the newest driver for audigy 2 z

    i downloaded the newest driver and tryed to install it. it says "setup did not detect the set of required compents you have. setup wil now exit" what do i need to install the latest and greatest dri've other than the card itself?

    I had the exact same problem updating the drivers for my Audigy 2 Platinum EX, but I think I managed to solve the problem. This was quite awhile ago, but I think I remember how I got it to work.
    First of all, which update did you download? The "Digital Rights Management" driver update was the one giving me that problem, and this was after installing the main drivers and programs from my Audigy 2 CD. But, I think the reason why it gives this message is because you need to install one of the other driver updates first, then install this DRM update. Look under the driver details and it says the following:
    "<EM>Requirements</EM>:
    Microsoft? Windows? XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 </LI>
    Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 or Audigy 2 ZS series internal audio device </LI>
    <EM>EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Patch Update for Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS (released on 29 March, 2004) installed, or Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS Driver Update (released on 29 July, 2004) installed</EM>."</LI>
    Strangely enough, it appears this update requires you install an older driver update first (EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe) then afterwards try running the Digital Rights Management update.
    I think this is right, but I'm not 00% sure.

    Why did you include USB models in your post about new driver releases? Are they somewhere else?
    Hmm... maybe you didn't look close enogh behind the link given for drivers for USB models in my post ... though, those are not new final drivers but as the previous USB driver expired 17 or 18 January, E-MU refreshed them 18 January. Also, I have not informed anything 'bout new drivers for USB but only new driver releases as the subject says.

    Hello
    First of all I really dont understand why you start two topics with the same theme. It is much better to have one topic with good content and interesting comments. Am I right? ;)
    Anyway, in your case it is interesting that Toshiba use adapted drivers because of hardware protection. That means that graphic card will not be forced to run at the maximum level. Hardware cooling in notebooks is very problematic and high temperature can result with overheating or hardware damage. All hardware components are placed on small place. Graphic card produce a lot of warmness and it is not so good for all other hardware.
    When you use non-Toshiba driver graphic card will be forced to run faster. Because of that every notebook manufacturers dont support usage of third part drivers. The fact is that hardware protection is priority.
    I didnt make any experiments but according to some reports on this forum there is way how to install non-Toshiba graphic card driver.
    Please check this forum and you will find many comments about that. One interesting topic is http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=18063&messageID=66186

  • NVidia GeForce 344.11 Driver Release date 9/18/2014 crashes Win 8.1 Pro

    NVidia GeForce 344.11 Driver Release date 9/18/2014 crashes/kills/shuts down Win 8.1 Pro, which also fails to start!
    The previous version 340.52 worked ok.
    Solution to get a working system:
    1) let Win 8.1 take into use the previous working version (you may loose some app updates)!
    2) let Win 8.1 pro update itself (takes a long time but its worth waiting!)
    Note:
    a. Ten points to Win 8.1 Pro being able to restore the previous working version
    note: compare to Linux with eternal rest loop and "kernel in panic" state if you use NVidia's new drivers!!
    b. Zero points to NVidia from this bug!
    Continuation: waiting for a well tested new NVidia driver while using the older one

    Hi, had exactly the same last night, on  my relatively clean 8.1 64bit, GeForce Experience flagged up a recommended upgrade from 340.52 to 344.11 on my GTX650 ASUS card.   Bumbled along for a while, then blue screened, reported kernel damage,
    wouldn't even get far enough to restore, so had to use the 8.1 disks.   Today, given its a completely clean system  I tried again to prove the Nvidia was to blame, and again GeForce flagged up this upgrade,  there's nothing on the system except
    for Office and Avast, and again completely crashed and cycled the blue screen trying to boot.   This time it eventually went into repair mode and restored right back to a clean 8.1 without the DVD's, but still had to reinstall my apps.   Lots about
    this on forums,  seems this upgrade scrambles the registry big time.  Anyone know what the actual cause of this was  ??   Pretty fed up with Nvidia releasing untested crap like this.

  • How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?

    How can I "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight (and preferably visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App)?
    Background:
    I am using Mountain Lion and Mail App and running out of space on my small primary SSD drive (where I keep OS, apps, key user preferences/data and mail for speed). The mail data is the big variable (many GBs) and I want to "archive"/move some of the old mail to my 2nd drive inside the Mac. But I still want it searchable inside spotlight and preferably even inside Mail too. And I'd like to be able to still drag and drop old mails into this archive folder.
    What I've tried that seems to work:
    This seemed to work:
    1. Move the archive folder/mailbox to the 2nd drive/partition/folder (don't delete anything inside Mail App)
    2. Create a symbolic link from its new location to the original/old location
    This seems to work, it looks as "normal" and as if nothing happened inside Mail App but the folder now resides elsewhere and seems searchable etc. But I'm not sure that once caches refresh or over time with updates etc if stuff will break horribly or corrupt.
    Is that the right way to "archive" mails in Mail App to another internal drive/partition to save space but still have it searchable in spotlight and visible, searchable, draggable in Mail App?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    Daniel

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

    OK, a couple questions for you.  You say you have "the latest" iOS update installed on your iPhone, but you don't mention what version that is.  Would you please tell us what the version number is for your iPOS installation?  Also, you have the "banner" on your Settings App, but is the banner for in iOS update, or is it for something else?  Do you have a new provile, or an expiring profile, or possibly Notifications that may be triggering that?

    and
    adobe has released CS4 instead of updating CS3?
    hi,
    we are using dreamweaver cs3 international (turkish) version and it crashes while performing
    search & replace all (code editor view) option.
    is there a way to solve this issue (any updates, fixes and etc.  )
    or
    do we need to use WORDPAD
    application to make Search&Replace words in a document
    instead of DW CS3
    regards.
    i hope  there is/will be any real update or fix for this. (I AM SURE ADOBE FINDS A WAY TO SOLVE this)
    info:
    using
    Vista Home Premium
    P CoreII Duo
    2gb ram
    dreamweaver cs3 turkish version ( V 9.0 Build 53 )
    ======================================

    well.
    it feels bad, after paying money.
    not being able to use a software full.
    and ADOBE must be ashamed to give such service
    (by not updating these softwares which has still lots of unknonw! bugs and also must be ashamed to put a page for unknown bugs. and trying to make customers be their own software engineers instead of the company's hundreths of engineers)
    and this, which they do not fix their program is not important or the issue.
    it is a sad subject that, they think the people will give money to fix their unusable programs which they already bought.
    and to customers who has paid about 1000$ to a software suit are having a bad vision that ADOBE started to work for money instead of customer happiness.
    when they understand their
    1000$ program has no support at all. no update or fixes at all.
    which can not do a simple action
    which the simplest editor WORDPAD editor does.

  • Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most  WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4.

    Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most  WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4. The OS compatibility  is much newer on the data.  Totally confused. Not a computer person.

    I haven't checked reviews recently but there's a difference between bare drives and drives with enclosures.  Western Digital made some of the most reliable drives last time I checked, though the enclosures weren't all that great.  It is convenient to get both in one package but I usually buy a highly rated enclosure and then put a highly rated drive in it myself.  OWC sells some good enclosures but if they put a so-so drive inside of it then the package is only as good as its weakest component.  If you get a package from them, ask them what drive is inside (some vendors have no idea what's inside  -  went to an Apple Store recently and they couldn't tell me what was inside some of their Apple brand enclosures).  My first thought if buying a new drive would be to buy a OWC enclosure with a WD drive, but chek around because I may be out of date.
    10 years ago Seagate was one of the best drives. Now they rate poorly in reviews.

  • Slow USB/drive performance with new (Oct 2011 release) MacBookPro

    I am a Final Cut editor, and began using FCP X about three months ago. I was using my wife's 13" MacBook Pro (previous revision 2.7GHZ i7 dual core, 4GB RAM, OS X 10.6.8) to play with it, and I was able to edit a few projects from a USB 2 drive.
    However, on my new (2.4GHZ i7 Quad core, 4GB RAM, OS 10.7.2 part: MD322LL/A) the same video project is choppy, and there's a spinning beach ball when quitting Final Cut that lasts about 25 seconds.
    Any ideas why the newer MBP with better graphics and quad cores would be having more trouble with video playback than the (slightly) older dual core machine? The only other difference between them is my computer came pre-loaded with Lion, and the 13" has snow leopard. I don't think I can install Snow Leopard on the new computer to eliminate that variable.
    I suspect there might be something going on with the USB port speeds, but beyond running the hardware test (doing it now) I don't know how to test this and know whether it's a "good" speed or not.

    Actually, things are stable after removing the jumper. With the jumper installed I got a message stating I couldn't install OS X nor boot from the drive.
    After removing the jumper, I installed OS X and transferred over data from another mac. The problem I was having was that under classic, one of my applications wouldn't launch. I recopied that application to the hard drive and I have had no further problems.
    The computer has been working flawlessly but I have it set to not go to sleep as it interferes with a 3d rendering program I run. Now that I think about it, it seems like before I set it to not sleep, I would come back and the computer and it would be off. I could set it so it sleeps, and see if that functions properly.
