What in the world happened with X-Fi softwa

What happened to all the EAX effects that were in Audigy 2? The EAX effects are mostly "HALL" type effects!!! What happened to those cool EAX sounds like "bathroom", "Small Room", "Cave" etc? What did creative do with software? Was the entire Audigy 2 software development team fired or something?
What happened to CMSS & CMSS 2 that I had in Audigy 2? Bass & Treble on a pebble sized knob is not a good idea. I much perfer using sliders.
What happened to Front Center volume and Subwoofer volume?
What happened to all the basics? You guys removed all the essentials!
Right now, I'm using X-Fi mode changer cause the orginal software is lacking so many options. Why can't I set bass and treble in GAME MODE creative? Did you guys get lazy or did you feel it wasn't necessary? We pay premium prices for your hardware and we expect the best. You guys give consumers all these flashy advertising and statements that X-Fi is "THE" sound card to get and when we do upgrade most of us are not suprised but disappointed. Just look at all the X-Fi problem threads on this board.
Listening to music with headphones sounds great, much improvement over Audigy 2 (all effects are off or default), but once I launch a game everything sounds so muffled.

OpTicaL,
don't take your childish grief out on me. You're angry that's fine, I was only trying to help you use your software, your beef is with Creative, not me.
Weather I owned an Audigy or not doesn't make my points any less valid. I was asking you what CMSS/2 where in the Audigy, you didn't even have the decency to explain. Somebody else did and it looks like they are still in the X-Fi just named differently.
No idea how your PC is set-up but I don't have to go into control panel to set bass/treble, I just double click the volume icon and do it in there. Unless the Audigy gave you some kind of acti've desktop with these functions permanently on it you're going to have to do some kind of interaction with something to set these settings, so where's the problem?
OK, no % in the windows sliders but the creative s/w does still show the % and I can't see what the big deal is if it's a slider or a knob, you still use the mouse to set it.
OK, you didn't understand about THX, again not my problem, I was trying to help. Maybe you should read up on what you have just payed money for instead of taking it out on people.
Creative, the X-Fi and it's drivers are far from perfect but I think you are making a mountain out of the wrong mole hill. There really isn't that much, if any, reduced functionality. Things have just been renamed, moved, re imaged. And if you have a problem with that, god help you when you upgrade to Vista!

  • Tried to Change my Apple ID email - but it tells me it's my rescue email address, despite having deleted that rescue email address. What in the world can I do?

    Hello all!
    I'm in a bit of a quandary. I have three email addresses, and I'm TRYING to pare down the number of addresses that I use. Thus, I am trying to change my Appple ID to one of those email addresses. Having said that, I tried to Change my Apple ID (which is an email address - one of the ones that I need to get rid of) to one email address that I constantly use. However, the screen tells me that the new address I wish to use, is my rescue email address, despite having deleted that rescue email address. What in the world can I do? I'm about sick and tired of Apple ID's.

    Ok I'm goin to call your old Apple ID #1 your new email you want to use #2 and another email #3.
    - go to http://appleid.apple.com
    - select manage your apple id
    - sign into #2
    - edit primary email and change it to #3
    - save changes and sign out
    Now
    - sign into #1
    - edit primary
    - change it to the email that was used for #2
    - save changes
    - check #2's email inbox for verification email
    - verify account
    If done correctly you should be fine, also in terms of #3 that would be an email you have that you dont mind being an apple id that you wont use. Sorry for the funny way of explaining just thought it would be shorter to type out lol.
    Note: Once changes have been made you must sign out of features such as iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, iTunes & App Store as they will still display the old Apple ID. Sign in with new email but same password as normal.

    Because i commented the above line & compiled, so it is not giving any error now.
    So please tell me what win_api_environment.read_registry does??
    it's read windows registry value. So, no problem if you comment it.

  • What in the world? Exact same colors displays darker on new CC document.

    Looking at the screen shot - the color on the left is the PMS color I've been using for a client. I just switched to CC and now when I use the exact same PMS color it shows up looking like the window on the right (darker). I've double checked that both docs are setup CMYK. What in the world is going on?

    That 874C is a metallic ink and is very difficult to render on-screen and in a digital proof.  Neither your lighter version nor the darker version render halfway decently to a swatchbook, unfortunately.  The darker one is a better choice viewing on-screen.  The deception is and always has been that colors on-screen will print darker.  So, if the preview color on-screen is already darker, then it will print darker and therefore, hypothetically, will never be where it is supposed to be in a proofing environment.  It seems they've compounded an already existing problem in favor of a new softproofing workflow.  Big mistake.
    The 167...same thing.  The darker screen shot appears closer to my Pantone Spot color swatchbook.  I would be interested in knowing how you guys proofed the jobs and what the differences are in a proof workflow.  I suspect my theory will hold up.  Again, historically since monitor color was invented, prints and/or proofs always appear darker.  So, users have been accustomed to the lighter screen color vs. the darker and more accurate print / proof color.
    Now, if for some reason I am wrong, then Pantone and Adobe have solved the differences between transmissive color vs. reflective color, plus lighting differences and the inherent differences in everyone's monitors, and the differences in paper Whiteness.  Pure genius and scientifically improbable.

    Would there be any particular reason why my iPad will not join my wireless internet at home but my iPhone and Macbook are joined?  I thought that sign was hindering the connect but that is completely unrelated.

  • This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
    Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

  • What does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
    text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it  + also
    supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    ...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
    •About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
    { did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
    You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
    Here's an official support topic page about it.
    •OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
    That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
    Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
    Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!

  • For what is the field SVER with type RSRSVER in structure RSDRI_S_SELNODE ?

    Does anyone know what does the field SVER with type RSRSVER in structure RSDRI_S_SELNODE mean ??
    Thx....

    If this indicator is set, the material is costed using costing with a quantity structure (BOM and routing).
    The system searches for any existing cost estimates with quantity structure for the individual materials; it ignores existing cost estimates without quantity structure. If the system does not find any valid costing data for the materials, it costs the material or accesses the price in the material master.
    If this indicator is not set, the planned costs for the material are calculated using the cost estimate without quantity structure. In this case, you use unit costing to create the quantity structure manually by entering costing items for materials and activity types, for example.
    The system now searches for any existing cost estimates without quantity structure. If a cost estimate without quantity structure exists for a material, the results of this cost estimate are included in a cost estimate with quantity structure. If there is no cost estimate without quantity structure, the cost estimate with quantity structure accesses the price in the material master record. The planned costs for this material then go into the cost estimate with quantity structure as raw material costs.
    This does not apply if the indicator Ignore prod cost est w/o qty structure is set in the costing variant.

  • What is the gray triangle with the exclamation mark?

    Samsung G4.  In text messages, what does the gray triangle with the exclamation mark mean?

    1. Displays when external SD card has been improperly removed or unexpectedly.
    2. Displays to alert you to disable active WiFi direct connection if not in use to conserve power.
    3. Displays when there is a system error or alert.
    Those are the three reasons I found,  It's probably #3.

  • What are the integration points with sd and qm

    hi,
    sap gurus,
    good morning to all,
    what are the integration points with SD and QM.
    in r/3.
    regards,
    balaji.t
    09990019711

    Dear balaji
    Before doing PGI, there will be a preinspection stage where SD will have to integrate with QM.  Similarly after sales, whenever there is sales returns, QM will come into picture.
    To control the above scenarios, in material master, go to "Quality management" view and click on "Insp.setup" where you need to assign Inspection Types like 04, 06 etc.
    thanks

  • What is the best way with c or cgi?

    Hi,
    what is the best way with C or CGI(with binary file)
    1. simple data transfer, from C or CGI application(without binary file) to XI for realtime sync?
    2. attached binary file transfer, from C or CGI appliction to XI
    for realtime sync?
    thanks
    venjamin.

    Hi venjamin,
    which adapter do you want to use? What kind of data do you want to send?
    I guess, if you only want to create a sync scenario with a application written in C or CGI, a soap webservice or a call of the http plain adapter would be the best way.
    Regards
    Philipp
