Why do X-Fi Drivers provide more functionality than the Audigy 2 Drive

The X-Fi Drivers work with the majority of Audigy 2 soundcards. Why do Creative not mention this? It even allows Audigy 2 users to use Alchemy!
It's obvious more people are having better luck with these drivers but it seems Creative don't realise they have backwards compatibility.
Ok, sure you have to extract the download file yourself. But there's more functionality there. Why do Creative do this?

They don't provide more functionality!? And it doesn't allow you to use ALchemy!?Creative's WDM drivers for DSP-based soundcards have always been architected on a common driver basis, but it doesn't mean the drivers will make an Audigy a X-Fi or vice versa. These drivers are more like NVIDIA's Forceware and ATI Catalyst... ALchemy does not load on the Audigy no matter what drivers you use, because it looks for EAX5 support before initialising. And usually the X-Fi version,?despite having a newer version number, has a positioning problem under OpenAL when used on Audigies.

  • Why is officejet 6700 black ink more expensive than the other colors

    why is hp officejet 6700 black ink almost twice as expensive as the other colors?

    The black cartridge is larger and has more than twice the ink of the standard color cartridges.
    If you do much printing you might want to consider the XL version of the cartrdiges.  The 932XL is rated at 1000 pages for $32 compared to the standard black cartridge rated at 400 pages for $20.

  • Why does my exported swf show more content than actually on frame?

    Why does my exported .swf show more content than actually on frame?
    My problem is relatively simple, though, I had some trouble finding a solution to it:
    When I play my exported animation using flash player in Google Chrome, if the window is bigger than the resolution flash document/frame, it shows content not meant to show up on the frame -- like parts of a huge background that aren't supposed to show up yet.
    In other words, how do I constraint the .swf to the white background/document resolution?

    Anyone? I'd appreciate it if someone replied soon -- I am done with my project once this issue is resolved, and I am excited to publish it.
    Please respond if you have any useful knowledge on the matter!
    Thanks!

  • Why is the iTunes shop in Australia more expensive than the rest of the world?

    Why is the iTunes shop in Australia more expensive than the rest of the world?

    How do you know that there is not parity?
    Do you know Apples expenses in each country?
    Apple has to sell the music for the price that they can negotiate with the owners of the distribution rights in each country.
    Perhaps those who own the rights to distribute the music in Australia simply negotiated a higher price.

  • Why is apple Australia so much MORE expensive than America!?

  • Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a full GB more than what it should.

    Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
    For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
    Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
    This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
    I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
    I link to a mac computer.
    I have IOS version 6.1.3
    I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
    Please help!!

    Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

  • Why is the black iPhone 4/4S more durable than the white?

    I've owned both a black and a white 4S
    The black was much more durable, mine flew out my hand and hit the tap, no damage just a big scratch to the back glass because thats where it hit, but it did make the back loose
    I had a white, and it smashed the back like 2 inches off concrete, I'm serious.. That's how fragile they are...
    I Now have A Galaxy S4
    Why is the black iPhone more durable than the white? I never understood that...

    Not sure what causes it, but here are your choices:
    1) bring it to a 3rd party repair shop and see what they say
    2) pay $149 for another replacement
    3) do nothing
    4) buy a new phone (iPhone or otherwise)

  • How to get items from a list that has more items than the List View Threshold?

    I'm using SharePoints object model and I'm trying to get all or a subset of the items from a SharePoint 2010 list which has many more items than the list view threshold (20,000+) using the SPList.GetItems() method. However no matter what I do the SPQueryThrottledException
    always seems to be thrown and I get no items back.
    I'm sorting based on the ID field, so it is indexed. I've tried setting the RowLimit property on the SPQuery object(had no effect). I tried specifying the RowLimit in the SPQuerys ViewXml property, but that still throws a throttle exception. I tried using the
    ContentIterator as defined here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.server.utilities.contentiterator.aspx,
    but that still throws the query throttle exception. I tried specifying the RowLimit parameter in the ProcessListItems functions, as suggested by the first comment here:http://tomvangaever.be/blogv2/2011/05/contentiterator-very-large-lists/,
    but it still throws the query throttle exception. I tried using GetDataTable instead, still throws query throttle exception. I can't run this as admin, I can't raise the threshold limit, I can't raise the threshold limit temporarily, I can't override the lists
    throttling(i.e. list.EnableThrottling = false;), and I can't override the SPQuery(query.QueryThrottleMode = SPQueryThrottleOption.Override;). Does anyone know how to get items back in this situation or has anyone succesfully beaten the query throttle exception?
    Thanks.

    Thanks again.

    I was using code below to work with 700000+ items in the list.
    SPWeb oWebsite = SPContext.Current.Web;
    SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["MyList"];
    SPQuery oQuery = new SPQuery();
    oQuery.RowLimit = 2000;
    int intIndex = 1;
    do
    SPListItemCollection collListItems = oList.GetItems(oQuery);
    foreach (SPListItem oListItem in collListItems)
    //do something oListItem["Title"].ToString()
    oQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition = collListItems.ListItemCollectionPosition;
    intIndex++;
    } while (oQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition != null);
    Oleg
    Hi Oleg, thanks for replying.
    The problem with the code you have is that your SPQuery object's QueryThrottleMode is set to default. If you run that code as a local admin no throttle limits will be applied, but if you're not admin you will still have the normal throttle limits. In my
    situation it won't be run as a local admin so the code you provided won't work. You can simulate my dilemma by setting the QuerryThrottleMode  property to SPQueryThrottleOption.Strict, and I'm sure you'll start to get SPQueryThrottledException's
    as well on that list of 700000+ items.
    Thanks anyway though

  • Issue with opening a site in SharePoint Designer 2010 -The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.

    I have a SharePoint site which I am trying to open in SPD 2010, I am getting the following error(some of my team members are able to open)
    The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version  of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.
    These are the ways I tried
    1) Earlier I have MS office 32 bit and SPD 32 bit, I uninstalled them and installed both 64 bit versions
    2) I uninstalled restarted my machine and installed it again still no use.
    3) I installed SPD 2010 Service Pack 2 of 64 bit
    4) I uninstalled the SPD 2010 and opened the site—site actions—edit page in SPD , then it asked me to install SPD 2010, then I installed and tried to open the same site, again same error.
    How to solve this issue?
    I checked permissions also at that site level – I have full control like others. I don’t have access to Central Admin so where else I can check the permission settings?

    Please update us SharePoint version

  • Exchange 2013 - The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is rejecting message submissions because the service continues to consume more memory than the configured threshold

    Noticed at about noon that no emails had been received all day. Began to investigate and found that the MS Exchange Transport service had been set to deny email submission because it was using too much memory on the server (91%). 
    The error message makes me think that we may have been getting used by malware or something similar.“The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is rejecting message submissions because the service continues to consume more memory than the
    configured threshold.” 
    There are also several warning messages that list particular IP addresses and say that a connection from that IP was denied because there were already the maximum number of connections (20). 
    From what I can tell, all of the IP addresses are from Taiwan. 
    The time period for which some emails may be missing is from close of business yesterday ( 4/3/2014) through about 12:45 today (4/4/2014). 
    From the time I spent reading and trying to figure out the error, I think we may need to readjust our throttling policies to prevent this from happening. 
    The exchange server is currently running at 90%+ CPU and 50%+ memory usage the majority of the time, and I’m not sure how to fix it.
    Also, I cannot get into EMS I get a access denied message from the destination computer. (Exchange server) I want to get into there to change the throttling policy back to default, since we disabled it.
    The Error reads:
    The WinRM client cannot process the request. The WinRM client tried to use Kerberos authentication mechanism, but the destination computer <Exchange> returned an 'access denied' error. Change the configuration to allow Kerberos authentication
    mechanism to be used or specify one of the authentication mechanism supported by the server. (How do I do this?) To use Kerberos, specify the local computer name as the remote destination. (I'm trying to use EMS while logged into the local Exchange server)
    Also verify that the client computer and the destination computer are joined to a domain. (Exchange is on our domain, and the computer trying to connect is the same computer) To use basic, specify the local computer name as the remote destination, specify
    Basic authentication and provide user mane and password. Possible authentication mechanisms reported by server.
    At line:1 char:1
    + New-PSSession -ConnectionURI "$connectionUri" -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Excha ...
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [New-PSSession], PSRemotingTransportException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AccessDenied,PSSessionOpenFailed
    I assumed control of this exchange system already in place and I do not have much experience with exchange 2013 or server 2012. I do know 2008, but that doesn't help very much in this situation.
    Recent changes to the system:
    About three days ago we switch our sessions policy to allow many more connections, and I believe this caused the issue. This is what I changed it to:
    Made the registry DWORD (32-bit) "Maximum Allowed Sessions Per User" and modified the value to 1000. Location of registry change @ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\ParametersSystem
    I just changed it to 10 from the 1000. I'm hoping this solves this. So far no.
    Also, I am not the best in the shell or command line interfaces. Any help would be wonderful!

    Hi,
    Yes, could be hardware performance issue. Try recycle the Transport process and see if the issue persists.
    Thanks,

    Hi Tracy,
    I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine.

  • How to avoid invoicing more quantity than the PO's in non stock PO?

    Hello SAPients!
    Scenario: We create a non stock PO with a material that has no number and no material group, when we use MIRO TCode to invoice it we can create the invoice with more quantity than the PO, we can even keep adding quantity to the invoice.
    How can we stop that? How can we configure our system in order to create the invoice with the exact (or less) quantity than the stated in the PO?
    Thanks in advance for your kind help.

    Hi,
    Use t.code: OMRM & Maintain the following messages
    1. M8 -081 Quantities invoiced greater than goods receipt quantity as ERROR ( maintain GR-based IV in the PO item level )
    2.M8 -087( item without GR )  - Invoice quantity greater than PO quantity  as ERROR & save.
    Now try doing MIRO.
    NOTE: If the above setting not work ,then Maintain the messages M8 -081 & M8 -087  as ERROR in OBMSG t.code & save.

  • Return value from database function taking a lot more time than the query

    Hi guys,
    I have a Query that does a call to a database function. The function takes in a few parameters and returns a Date. Now, the query within the function takes barely .05 seconds. However, doing a select get_join_dates from dual is taking almost 6 seconds for each call.
    Here is the Query:
    select s.student_id, s.student_name, s.organization_code
    from   student s
    where  s.student_id = :p_student_id
    and    s.student_enrollment_date = get_join_dates( :p_year,
                                                       :p_month,
                                                       :p_student_id,
                                                       s.organization_code );And here is the database function. The select inside this function barely takes 0.05 seconds per call. This function gets called 3 times in my case as there are 3 records in the org_body table for this student.
    create or replace function
    get_join_dates( p_yyyy in org_body.fiscal_yyyy%type,
                           p_month in  org_body.fiscal_mm%type,
                           p_student_id in student.student_id%type,
                           p_organization_code in org_body.organization_code%type) return date as
        t_enrollment_date  date;
        cursor cur_latest_enrollment_date is
          select max(enrollment_date)
          from   org_body
          where  fiscal_yyyy = p_yyyy
          and    fiscal_mm = p_month
          and    student_id = p_student_id
          and    organization_code = p_organization_code;
      BEGIN
        open cur_latest_enrollment_date ;
        fetch cur_latest_enrollment_date into t_enrollment_date;
        close cur_latest_enrollment_date ;
        return t_enrollment_date;
      exception
        when others then
          null;
    end;owever, when I run the following statement below, it takes close to 6 seconds to retrieve a record. In turn, my Query is becoming really slow and taking almost 35 seconds. Imagine that with more records.
    select get_join_dates( 2010, '01', '2167543', 'PSYCH01' ) from dual;If I run my query with this condition below, it takes 0.5 seconds.
    select s.student_id, s.student_name, s.organization_code
    from   student s
    where  s.student_id = :p_student_id
    and      s.student_enrollment_date = '01-JAN-10'Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Any reason why you are doing this with the stored function?
    You could just do this with SQL. Embed the query in the function as a subquery in your initial query from STUDENT.
    select s.student_id, s.student_name, s.organization_code
    from   student s
    where  s.student_id = :p_student_id
    and    s.student_enrollment_date =
    (select max(enrollment_date)
          from   org_body
          where  fiscal_yyyy = :p_year
          and    fiscal_mm = :p_month
          and    student_id = s.student_id
          and    organization_code = s.organization_code);Why your function is not performing: I cannot say that with the information you have provided.
    Maybe sqltrace a call and see what the reason is.

  • Why does Adobe Premiere Pro offer more effects for the windows platform than Mac?

    Every time I find a cool new effect that I would like to use it seems it is only offered on the windows platform.  I am a mac user and wondering why this is.

    A lot of that is inertia, though. 3 or 4 years ago, I would have laughed in your face if you'd told me that we were going to move to a PC-based workflow. Then everybody stopped using FCP, Apple refused to update their Pro towers for, like, 3 years, and released a completely redesigned MacPro that has caused us more headaches than it's worth. PPro makes it super easy to bounce projects back and forth between our Macs and PCs. Mainstream computer hardware has become powerful enough that you don't need a professional workstation to edit video and do basic motion graphics. This is totally anecdotal, I realize, but our PCs are every bit as stable (or unstable!) as our Macs, and we've yet to have a single virus on either Mac or PC (mostly because I don't let warez anywhere near our boxes...). At this point, I literally can't think of a single reason to stick with Mac as a platform; if I can put together a $2000 PC that'll perform more-or-less as well as the $3000 MacPro, why would I choose the more expensive option? I guess you could say "ProRes", but I've never really been a fan of ProRes. Besides, DNxHR will be out in a month or two; that'll be the final nail in the ol' ProRes coffin.
    I honestly don't mean this to come off as an insult, but I think that in 2014, anyone who tries to tell you that Macs are somehow superior to PCs just doesn't know what they're talking about. Aside from the price, the playing field is pretty level... I hope I don't come off as being an anti-Apple, pro-PC fanboi; I'm just a big fan of rational, informed decisions.
