When Audio Console launched, Unable to find audio device error message comes

When I launch audio console, I get an error message saying:
"Unable to find audio device. Please make sure that your audio device is enabled and installed with its driver. This application will be closed."
This can't be right because my soundblaster audigy 2 ZS platinum card is installed, its working, I can hear things etc.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the audio console software package from creative and that fixed the problem for a very short while and it is now reoccurring.
I've had this same setup for several years with no issues, now all of a sudden, this is happening.
Anyone out there had similar challenges?
Thanks for looking!Message Edited by dgmtoronto on 07-22-200703:33 PM

Most probably you don't have passed the correct root= option to the kernel so that the kernel cannot, as it says, find its root device. Read the wiki page about refind in order to know how to configure it (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/REFInd). Refind as no fully automatic configuration like grub.

"unable to find root device" error with linux-lts

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with booting linux-lts after a recent upgrade (3.14.39-1 -> 3.14.43-2). In particular, I get an "unable to find root device" error.
I have look at other threads for potential solutions; I have tried a) re-installing linux-lts, b) adding 'block' before 'autodetect' in mkinitcpio.conf before the re-installation, and c) changing /dev/sdb4 (my root partition) in syslinux.cfg to UUID and PARTUUID. I still get the same error.
In the emergency shell, running 'blkid' does not show the root partition in the output.
If I boot from the latest kernel (4.0.4-2), it all boots fine.
Does anybody have any ideas on anything I could try to get linux-lts to boot? I'd prefer to stay with the lts kernel if possible.

Yeah? And did you see this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … nvironment ?
Here you need to set the right hooks if the root is on a USB drive, if you use RAID, LVM, or if /usr is on a separate partition.
No, of course you missed it...
Boot your install using the Fallback entry. If you do not have a Fallback entry, press Tab (for Syslinux) or "e" (for GRUB) and rename it initramfs-linux-fallback.img. After it boots, open up a terminal and run:
# nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
<add "usb" to the HOOKS line>
# mkinitcpio -p linux
# reboot
And don't forget to mark it as solved.

Why when I try to sync my iPod does the error message come up that it can't be backed up to my computer???!

I'm having issues syncing my iPod today! I sync once a week, I've got the latest version of iTunes, but today it tells me that it won't back up to my computer, WHY? Since updating iTunes, it keeps coming up with a separate error message about not being authorised for the library thing, after I've synced/used iTunes... Oh & it point blank refused to recognise my iPad to sync. It's driving me potty :(

I dislike technology on occasions... I shut down iTunes, plugged my iPad back in & NOW it decides to sync!!! No error messages...and then it syncs my iPod with no problems as well!!! It seems that I can't start iTunes, play music & then decide to sync the toys. I HAVE to just plug in the iPod/iPad and let it start up all by itself. How irritating! Thank you for responding!

When I upgraded to latest version of Firefox this error message comes up everytime I try to open it: "Type Error:Components, classes [cid] is undefined" How can I get this taken care of, what is it?

There are no other details.

Trouble with Audio Console "Unable to find Audio device.

I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and run XP Pro. Recently lost my install CD when moving back to school (crap...)
I was able to download and install the drivers for the card from creative. Windows Hardware manager says the device is working properly (more accurately the many devices associated with the sound card) and I know the device is functioning (at least in part) because I am able to play music through the digital optical out on the dri've bay panel.
At this point I am trying to install Audio Console.
I have downloaded and installed Audio Console from creative's website and then restarted my computer. Upon trying to launch the program the following message appears in a pop up:
"Unable to find Audio device. Please make sure that your audio device is enabled and installed with it's driver. This application will be closed."
I have checked 'Sounds and Audio Devices' in the control panel and it has "SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio [B400]" for all selected audio devices.
What's the problem here? Has anyone encountered this problem before?
The Audigy 2 ZS Platinum is listed as compatible with the Audio Console software.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Audio Console: Unable to find Audio device

I'm running Vista 32-bit with SP with an Audigy Gamer. I've been running the same drivers since March, but somewhere down the road Creative Audio Console refused to run anymore when it previously worked fine. I get the following error:? "Unable to find Audio device. Please make sure that your audio device is enabled and installed with it's driver. This application will be closed."? The sound card works perfectly otherwise, just unable to run the audio console.
So I uninstalled the drivers, and installed the latest release. Same thing. Audio console throws the same error. Any ideas? This is incredibly annoying.

Sorry - right, Audigy then.
When you uninstalled and reinstalled - did you uninstall the Creative Audio Console? Some driver packages have it as separate program?in the Add/Remove programs list.
Did you happen to notice any other upgrades or new software since the Audio Console stopped loading for you? Like a windows update or anti-virus program update?
Oh, and there is a [url="http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=&subCatID=205&prodID=237 &prodName=Audigy%20Gamer&subCatName=Audigy&CatName =Sound+Blaster">new Audigy driver package for you to try[/url]... wouldn't hurt.

Sb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit

Asb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit'sI recently installed windows 7, because I was tired from Windows XP, but unfortunately after installing all the drivers for my hardware I realized my 5. isn't working quite as expected.
My first problem was, that the Crystalizer didn't work, after installing tons of different software, found on creative labs forums the crystalizer started working.
Then I realized that the CMSS-3D wasn't (and still isn't working). How do I fix that ? I've tried numerous ways but nothing happens, while in windows XP everything worked fine after installing the drivers.
I also miss some configuration options in the Creative Console Launcher, namely the check boxes:
?"Automatically enable headphone settings" and "Automatically mute speakers".
Where the hell did they go?! I use them, I need them. How do I get them back? Is XP somehow privileged than 7? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?
I also can't change the speaker configuration - it's stays 5. whatever I do, and the drop-down menu with the choices is missing?! Auto-detect option doesn't work, and if it did worked - I don't need it.

To : woj2322, You may need to download and install the Dell Notebook System Software version 5.0.5. This installs patch fixes to solve the PCI ExpressCard device not work correctly. This is only for the DELL Inspiron 520 Notebook (See Below). Microsoft patch fix info below also. Also, I see there's other people that are having the same issue, maybe you to need to download and install the patch fix for your notebook's on dell's website.

There is no mode switcher on my Audio Console launcher.

I have the Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme card and downloaded some time ago the console launcher. The application on the site says the version currently available dates from 2007. I open up the launcher but do not have the modes tab at all. Why is that? How can I get a version that has it? I want to use the audio creation console.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Creative Audio Console Launcher panel .jpg

Thank you for your prompt response. This is my first time on this forum and hope that I can get some help with this issue. I'm very glad this forum uses this format you've recently adopted. I believe it's the same as the one on my Ubuntu Forum. It's a sad thing that this kind of rubbish shows up everywhere nowadays.

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

'Unable to find operation: null' Error When I invoke Composite Wsdl Url

Hi ,
I have created one composite application which consists one BPEL process.That BPEL process takes input from other application.
But When I invoke that Wsdl Url to push the data from my application to that Wsdl Url,It is giving below error(System fault):
'Unable to find operation: null' .
I am getting below message in enterprise manager console (http://ipaddress:port/em):
'Composite instances are not generated for rejected messages. Click the error message for details'.
Note: When u click on 'unable to find operation: null' link it is showing the soap request that we submitted to composite URL.
Instance ID is also not created.
Can anybody help me regarding this issue?

As you are able to test the Composite in the EM console and the correct operation, everything looks fine from SOA side.
Now whatever application from which you are trying to push the data, make sure while configuring the WSDL of the Composite, please check whether you can select the operation of the SOA Composite over there. I think you are leaving the default option which is null or not selecting the required operation over there.
Hope this helps

HP 530 laptop audio loaded reads Could naot find MEDIA device foe driver

HP 530 laptop audio loaded reads Could naot find MEDIA device foe driver....Help

Hi,
Is there sound in Headphones?
You can refer the link below and check if you have missed any troubleshooting steps..
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
HP Notebook PCs - Resolving No Sound or Audio Problems in Windows 7
You can also try doing a System Restore to an earlier date when the sound was working..If that fixes the problem then check if there are any windows updates listed..sometimes it may happen due to driver conflicts after updates. In that case you have to hide the conflicting update.
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
It has been unchecked somehow...
Also.. as an aside.. Be careful not to create such large subject names in future when posting here.. They can cause issues with replying to posts in such threads.. due to a bug in the forum software.. so please keep them short and to the point...

Hi susan from WSL,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when your Bluetooth accessories, such as your car connection, do not work as expected it can be very frustrating. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps provided in the attached article.
