Will Realtek AC97 create proble

HI
I am considering purchasing either the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, or the Audigy 2 ZS Gamer internal sound cards. I have an Intel Pentium 4 computer which came with the realtek built in sound chip on a Bit IS7-E2 motherboard. The operating system is Windows XP Pro with SP2.
I have read that I need to disable the Realtek through bios. I have been unable to find any settings to let me do this when I go into bios set up.
My computer came with an Intel Pentium 4 processor (3GHZ), and Gig of memory, and a 60 gig hard dri've. There is also a feature called called hyper threading.
Will I be able to have either of the above sound cards installed without too much difficulty. I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Aron

Thanks for the information. I found the "onChip Audio Controller" buried in integrated peripherals/OnChip Pci Device/OnChip Audio controller.
Once I disable the audio controller, is it necessary to remove all of the other related items such as Audio codecs, Legacy audio drivers, Realtek ac97 audio, usb audio device? I found these in system/device manager/sound vidio and game controllers.
Also, I read a user review saying that hyper threading caused problems with his sound card. Is this an area of concern?
Thanks again for your assistance.

  • Realtek AC97 Audio CutOff (ALC655)!

    Hi,
    After a month from replacing my mainboard (old board was fried during system shutdown along with PSU), I am starting to experience these weird problems...
    I use the onboard AC97 codec on my MSI 865PE Neo2 mainboard which is manufactured by Realtek and reported by the driver as an ALC655 codec...
    It all started a week ago when I was playing Far Cry when the all sounds suddenly went dead  , I simply exited Far Cry and re-opened it and it was fixed for a while when it went dead once more, so I exited and tried to run WinAmp and listen to my MP3s and again problem was fixed...
    But I can't remember exactly when, maybe 2-3 days ago when the sounds starting going dead after a few seconds or a few minutes in ALL DirectX games (RedAlert 2, Toy Story 2 , Generals, Far Cry...everything!), even when running WinAmp, it would suddenly stop playing, and clicking on Play again did absolutely nothing! (does the same with WMP), even MS-DOS based games (ex: RedAlert 1) lose sound, Yet when I logoff Windows XP and logon again, it works once more but cuts off again after a few seconds.) !!
    Here's what I've tried:
    1. Re-install DirectX 9.0c
    2. Re-install Realtek AC97 Audio drivers (original one on mainboard CD)
    3. Decreased Sound Acceleration to in DXDIAG
    4. Did a fresh install of XP on another partition with just system drivers...
    --> And still the same problem !
    Note:
    1. Even when the sound is dead, when I logoff, Windows XP is magically able to play the logging off sound ! But when I re-logon and start (eg: Far Cry), the sound is immediately cut off after a few seconds !
    2. If I continue to play even after the sound is dead, I can occasionally hear the sound suddenly popping back on for just a fraction of a second playing sounds that were supposed to be played when it cut off..., but it doesn't keep that way and pops dead again..
    Any suggestions ?? Any help will be really appreciated...

  • Audio: Realtek AC97? Audigy?? Catalina??? Please discuss.

    I have an MSI K8T Neo FiS2R (MS-6702) motherboard and I tried using the onboard audio chip - Realtek AC'97. I have the latest motherboard BIOS and I installed the latest Windows drivers for Realtek audio.
    I noticed the following problems:
    -It stutters VERY badly in games whenever there is a slight CPU hit.
    -CD audio just doesn't work at all.
    Is it just me or does everyone have these problems with the Realtek AC97?? I'm using Win98 SE so maybe that's part of it.
    For now I shut it off in the BIOS and switched to my antique Soundblaster Live! Value card. Despite DestructiveLabs taking a big dump in the registry with the crappy drivers, it sounds much better.
    BTW, if anyone has the Turtle Beach Catalina card, please let us know how well it works. I heard it has 8-channel 7.1 support on the cheap ($45), but it doesn't have builtin DSP which could put a burden on the CPU and slow down games.
    Is Audigy really worth it? I heard Audigy 2 Platinum is like $170 now. Ouch! And rumor has it that the Audigy drivers cause a lot of issues.

    The Catalina is a very nice card based on VIA's Envy24 chip - but it does not have hardware acceleration for 3D audio.  For hardware 3D audio, the only viable cards are the Audigy2 series (the Audigy1 had noise problems, the Live! don't always get along with VIA based systems).
    Though I'm happy with my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, there aren't going to be any new drivers released for it as the chip it uses is no longer in production.

  • Procurement Key 'F' - System will allow to create production order

    Dear All,
    Pls help solve below issue
    Sub-assembly (HALB) material type with Procurement Key is 'F' - but System will allow to create production order, our management don't want to allow this. how to activate the error messges
    I checked the system messages CO 046, 047, 048 - it will not help for these messages
    Any way to control this (except user exit, badi)
    Regards,
    Sankaran

    Hi Sankaran,
       What I infer from your statement is that user is able to convert planned order into Production Order (MD04 or CO040). You want to issue a warning message during this converion.
      You can configure warning messages through OPJB.
       Whether this material with procurement type F was setup initially with a different setup? Please check whether any routing details exist for this material and also check whether there is any special procurement indicator. One more check is with your MRP Group settings.
    Hope this helps.
    With Best Regards,
    Srinivas

    Will Oracle ever create a Data Guard Certification?
    If so would it be more of a "HA" - high availability,
    or would it be only about Active Data Guard.
    Thanks

    We have a Data Guard Admin certification coming soon. Unfortunately, I don't have a closer date than that.

  • Library that will let one create a password protected zip file

    Hello All, In my last post, I was not clear, in the explanation of my requirement so that could be a reason for no replies
    I wanted to know whether there are any Java libraries that I can use to create a password protected zip file which will be recognized by WINZIP
    Will hope to hear back .
    Thanks again

    Thanks for the mail and information. So, from my
    understanding, there are no Java libraries thatare
    free that will let you create a password protected
    zip file that WINZIP recognises.
    Please let me know.
    ThanksThere might be free Java APIs that could do that. I
    just stated that I have not come across any. You can
    google and see if you can find any free APIs.
    The other way to do it is to write your own code for
    password protecting the zip files created by
    java.util.zip. A more time consuming solution but a
    solution nonetheless. But with this solution you
    would run into the problem of compatibility with
    winzip.
    Another solution would be to see if you can dig out
    some command based zip utility (I am not sure if
    there is one available for Windows but gzip comes to
    mind on Unix based systems) and use Runtime.exce()
    from your java source code to execute that command.
    I am not aware of any other solution. Hope this helps.thanks again for the reply.
    Can you throw more light on this statement
    "Another solution would be to see if you can dig out some command based zip utility (I am not sure if there is one available for Windows but gzip comes to mind on Unix based systems) and use Runtime.exce() from your java source code to execute that command."
    regarding the command based zip utility, does this provide a password protected zip file, so that winzip will understand and encode it?.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks

  • Is there a tutorial that will help in creating a RS232 driver?

    I am attempting to write a driver / VI that will control an Animatics "SmartMoter" via a RS232 port.  I was able to download sub VI's from www.summerfiles.com. 
    Is there a tutorial that will help in creating a driver for a RS232 port?  I take it that I will need to connect these sub vi's in a correct sequence to be able to communicate through the RS232 port.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    It seems that what you downloaded is a driver. What you need to determine is how to use the functions on the driver to create a high level application. There is a tutorial at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2804 that might be useful. The driver you downloaded is lacking in several areas. One of which is documention. Each VI should include a description of what it is and what it does. Each control/indicator should also include a description. I could not find any such information in these VIs. I didn't look at everything because the horrid front panel colors in the SmartMotor.llb was giving me a headache. I did see a VI called SM Tester. This appears to be a high level example that you could use as a model.

    Hi, I am looking to set up with adobe muse but i want to know if it will let me create a members based website?

    Not muse by itself. With some knowledge of business catalyst you should be able to do it with secure zones.

  • Inspire T7900 and realtek AC97 subwoofer problems

    Hi everyone,
    I am not sure if anyone had the same problem, I recently purchased a set of 7.1 T7900 and I have a Realtek AC97 on board card.
    The subwoofer works for some time then stop, then it goes again. I tried all the configuration possible, I updated the drivers. I even tried another computer (unfortunately another realtek for laptop). I swapped cables, I used another cable.
    I can't figure out what makes it stop (or working).
    Sometimes it works fine other time just refuse to work. All the other speakers are working fine. Just the sub.
    I am not quite sure if is the sound board or a faulty subwoofer.
    I tried everything but i still cannot link why it does this.
    If anyone can help or have a suggestion it'll be appreciate!
    thanks
    crix

    try a computer with a sound blaster or something .. but from what your saying it could be a faulty woofer .. go to the service and let them check it.. it cant hurt

  • Asus A8N-E onboard Realtek AC97 and Creative Inspire P5800's

    I am attempting to connect some creative inspire p5800 speakers to the realtek AC97 audio on my A8N-E. But when I run the connector sensing it senses the jack i have plugged into the lime/green socket as stereo line in. In the speaker configuration the lime/green socket is identified as Front speaker out. The jack at the other end of the lead is plugged into the correct socket on the subwoofer. The rear and center speakers work fine.Any ideas would be greatly appreciatedThanks

    well there jason, since you asked, there are some of us who have the P7800 where there are four plugs on the side of the speakers and only three plugs on the computer side with asus mother board needing four. The only way around it is to disconnect the grey plug which is the bass and side speakers and bootleg to the bass which isn't how it is supposed to work.

  • LDAP time limit exceeded.IMTA database will not be created

    ims5.1
    run ./imsimta dirsync -F ,get the message
    LDAP time limit exceeded.IMTA database will not be created . and i already set set timelimit to -1 ,
    set lookthroughlimit to -1
    set sizelimit to -1
    ,but why the error is continue?

    You are using Dirsync. The answer is to stop using dirsync.
    From version 6.0, dirsync is no longer part of the product.
    From version 5.2, Direct LDAP is the preferred method.
    No user that is currently using 5.2 or later should ever use dirsync. dirsync has bugs that will never be fixed.
    Direct LDAP is a much better way to go. The instructions for setting this up are in Appendix b of the Administration Guide. Please do follow those.
    If you insist on using dirsync ( a very bad idea ), you must set the timelimit to -1 (unlimited)

  • MOVED: Realtek AC97 STRANGE problem..

    This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
    Realtek AC97 STRANGE problem..

    Yes. Everything seems okay. Realtek AC97 Sound is chosen everywhere, and everything seems perfect.
    There is just no sound. Not even a "Click" when i turn mute on and off. Nothing at all..
    When i look at the inputs on my board, i can see red light in the optical input, so i guess that the onboard sound is not broken.. :S
    Im not using optical, but the normal "Green" input..

  • Realtek AC97: accelerated speed of playback

    Hi,
    I have an old computer with Windows XP and very fresh Arch Linux in dualboot. Everything works fine, but sound card plays sounds, in both OS, with accelerated speed. Playback of music, or any other system sound, are maybe two times faster, than normal.
    Thanks for your advices. I hope that is not a HW problem with soundcard.
    Configuration of PC
    MOTHERBOARD: MSI MS-6566E 1.0
    CPU: Intel Celeron 2.20 GHz
    SOUND: Realtek AC'97 Audio
    RAM: DDR 1536 MB
    Thank you. J.

    OK, so you use Audacious. Start with switching output device to "hw:0" instead of "default" to ensure that we are working directly with hardware.
    This probably isn't the case, but maybe your 44kHz files are played back at 48kHz without resampling. Once you switch to "hw:0", hw_params should definitely show "rate: 44100" when playing such files (or the card may refuse to play them at all if it's 48kHz-only).
    It's possible that the card is stuck at higher sample rate (probably 96kHz) than software tells it to use. Enable "resample" effect plugin and tell it to output at 96kHz (or 48kHz as well, who knows what will happen).
    Maybe the card thinks it's being fed 4- or 6-channel signal and sends part of samples to some phantom channels. Try changing output to "surround40" or "surround51".
    Try 16 or 24 bit output format, IIRC AC97 is limited to 20 bits anyway.
    Finally, there is a "speed and pitch" plugin; set both to 0.5 and all will be good, at least for Audacious

  • If all the songs in my playlist I want to burn are mp3 format, will iTunes automatically create an mp3 CD? I want the CD to be in a format that most CD players can play.

    I didn't know I would have to add more. What I need to know is in the title. If all the tracks in a playlist are mp3 encoded, will iTunes assume that I want it to burn an mp3 disk? What I really want is a CD that plays in most CD players everywhere, not mp3. I tried to look up the type of file that is on most commercially made CDs, and I get .cda. But then I get an argument that .cda is a file that marks the gap length and track info, and does not contain the music info at all. Computers are just too **** complex for an old geezer like me. With computers, nothing is what it really seems.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Ken

    Don't concern yourself with the type of file on an audio CD - they use their own special format.
    When you create a playlist and choose 'Burn playlist to disk' you will get this pane:
    Choose 'Audio CD' - that's all you have to do.
