Windows 7 / X-Fi XtremeGamer / Ventrilo issue

- Essentially, every time I hit my push to talk key (doesnt mather how long I hold it down) audiodg.exe eats up another 2-3 mb of memory. I made myself a .cmd file to restart the audio service's when it eats up too much of my ram, but it's still rather annoying.
I'm using the 64bit version of Windows 7 and driver version 2.8.003.

As you can see in the above thread, the moderators ask that you PM or messgae them in the thread and they will send you a corrected driver. The corrected driver is intended to mix the shutdown issue, but I believe it helps the memory leak as well.

  • Verizon mades changes in the coding and now Windows Phone 7 is having data issues!!!

    Starting about 3 weeks ago, I stopped receiving text messages and even worse stopped receiving calls yet alone my voicemails.  I have changed not one thing to my phone, everything is exactly the way it was before the issues arised.  Now I have to trick my phone to receive my data by dialing into my voicemail...  And then what do you know, 30 text mesages, 12 voicemails!!!
    The voicemails wont even tell you the date or time stamp (the time the voicemail was received).  After numerous *228 and talking with level 2 over the holidays, I see a huge article on multiple news sites stating Verizon is having data issues...  Dropped calls, loss of data, no signal while all our phone keep showing full bars and 3g.  Verizon stated its only happening on there 4gLTE system and not 3G but thats a load of crap.
    All one has to do is a google search of loss of text messages or voicemails on Verizon and you will see 100's up to 1000's of users like you and me all experiencing the same issues.  And not just with Windows Phone 7, but with there baby Driod and iPhone as well.
    What really ****** me off is that Verizon loves to play the blame game or pass the buck game.  Hard Reset your phone and that will solve the problem...  Yeah Right.  If this was our OS and we updated a driver that changed the OS in the background I can see that being the solution.  But for the 100's or 1000's of users that go to work daily, check there emails and text daily, and haven't changed one thing on the phone... THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!
    Now I read an articile for someone extermely close to Microsoft stating that Verizon turned down Nokia's new 4GLTE phone because they have no faith in the operating system and I have to think that maybe behind the scenes Verizon is trying to force us off Windows Phone 7 platform with data issue behind the scene and try to get us all into the Droid Platform which they make 50% of the cash off the phone just like the iPhone...
    This is a joke, and I am really starting to think about going to ATT and getting the HTC Titan or the new Nokia 900.  I have already research a 3 party app that will allow you to backup and restore your phone.  And just read that Microsoft just put out an ad for backup, restore and cloud backup programmers for this latest feature.
    Verizon the games need to stop, Verizon you need to stand behind this Platform, Verizon you need to provide better service for all us 3G users!!!

  • Windows 7 T-series (T400) powermanagement issues?

    Hey, I just clean upgraded my T400 from a very stable Vista32 Home Pre to a Windows 7 Ultimate hoping to reap the benefits of faster boot time and faster operation of notebook features (sleep & hibernate) among other thinigs.
    Unfortunately I've noticed some problems with my new setup. My no 1 problem is the sleep is unstable. I've had two occasions now where I put the machine to sleep, and had the machine shut down instead, and upon reboot, windows recognizes it was shutdown unexpectedly, and seems to recover correctly.
    It seems like the machine dies suspending or perhaps it suspends then dies. I didn't notice it both times, because the suspend operation is not instataneous.
    Another problem which seems related is that I still get the Fn+Home/End brightness controls don't work sometimes. It's rare, (probably twice), but the killer here is that the "close the lid and open it again" does not solve the problem. Instead it shuts the screen off, and never comes back...and the only solution is to hold the power button.
    These problems are really disconcerting, and from what I've heard from Windows 7, very unusual. So I'm confused and am wondering if anybody else has experienced anything like this.
    Naturally I've updated to the very latest BIOS update, and tried to get all the latest drivers. I used System Update 4, but it seems to miss some of the updates (i.e. Power manager update, IBM PM device, Bluetooth update etc.) so I tried to update each component from the driver matrix...checking each one as much as I could.
    I haven't been able to make any progress by looking through the eventviewer logs. Windows 7 has some nice power management troubleshooting logs, but nothing seems to be coming up as the problem.
    Thanks in advance for any feedback!

    &Re: Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues? The support pack does absolutely nothing to fix the mic issues.
    Does this driver improve sound quality or performance? Are there any tweaks?
    No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.
    No, there are no tweaks.
    If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.
    It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and?sound?fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.
    If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.
    In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.
    I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.
    There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.

  • I just loaded some July pictures into my PC iCloud photos upload folder, but I do not see them with my iPad. Are they not shared because they are past the 30 day window, or is there a different issue?

    I just loaded some July pictures into my PC iCloud photos upload folder, but I do not see them with my iPad. Are they not shared because they are past the 30 day window, or is there a different issue?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues

    "Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic IssuesG Ok, i've seen so many posts on this issue but am now suffering from a headache after spending 3 hours trying everything I could find in google to fix this.
    The mic works when it wants. When it does work (rarely), its garbled or lagging like crazy.
    I have read, and searched this forums, but besides seeing "Doesn't work" or "Use daniel_k's drivers" i cant find any definate fix (or even links to something new that I haven't already tried).
    I tried daniel ks drivers and they seems to be pretty darn good, however it still did not correct my issue.
    I record music, and I play games. . . and absolutely love win7. . . but am forced to use XP (limiting my amount of memory used) when I want to do any of the above.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If it has a cloud icon it means its no longer on your device.  Tapping on the cloud will effectively reinstall the App from scratch to your device. 
    There is no way to remove it from the cloud because its not yours to remove from there. Its the general App repository, you are just given access to it to download content you've already purchased.

  • Pavilion dv5 - 1217AX with Windows 8 - multiple booting and crashing issues

    I have a Pavilion dv5 - 1217AX with Windows 8 operating system. It was upgraded from Vista to windows 8 last year and it worked really very well for about 1 year. Here are the issues I am facing these days
    1. When powered on - Caps lock and Num lock LEDs keep flashing twice and the sequence keeps repeating - I checked the error code on some forums and it sounded like BIOS issue so I flashed the BIOS F38 again (SP46501) but it didn't help. I also thought it could be a memory issue so I removed the memory module and cleaned the slots and fixed the modules again but no luck. I also tried running the laptop using only one module, tried both the modules one by but no changes in error code. Then I thought it could be a toy bettery issue so replaced the toy batter that fits on the motherboard but no luck. I have also tried booting up removing the laptop battery pack but no luck.
    So how does it boot now? - Once powered on I keep getting Caps lock Num lock LED flashing issues every time. Then I power off using power on/off button on laptop around 15 times or more then the laptop somehow boots up. There is no fixed pattern, sometimes it boots after 15 attempts, sometimes 50 attempts.
    Whats happenes after booting? - Sometimes the screen goes completely blank without any error message on the screen. Sometimes Windows 8 crashes and laptop restarts, when it restarts I never see LED flashing issues (surprising). It crashes when I am watching some videos or playing some games, so looks like ATI Radeon driver issue (driver is 8.970.100.7000 for HD 3400 display card).
    Let me know if there are any suggestion to fix the botting and crashing issues faced.

    Hi Expertit ,
    At first sight ,seems to be a boot issiu.Did you thry this?
    Booting into the Windows 8 setup, select “Repair your computer” in the bottom part of the window, then “Troubleshoot” and “Advanced options”. Here I was given a good reminder of another cool Windows 8 feature. If you have a restore point created you can go back to that working copy of the OS without losing your data.
    So the first thing you will want to try is the Automatic Repair.
    If that fixes your boot problem, you had it easy and go on to create a restore point for another time you are out of luck. If Windows is unable to fix your issue, read on.
    Go back to the Advanced options and choose the Command Prompt. Going for the next easiest way to fix the problem, enter the following four commands into the prompt:
    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    bootrec /scanos
    bootrec /rebuildbcd
    After receiving a success confirmation. Close the CMD window and restart your PC.
    If you are booted into Windows, excellent! If not, let us know , so we can try some more solutions.
    2.If your video crashes , it is probably wrong Catalyst settings.Right click on screen , open Catalyst control settings , set it to high (Radeon) performance.
    Expecting your next post.

  • Install sharepoint 2013 on Windows server 2012, Microsoft Identity Extensions issue !!!!!!!!!

    Sharepoint 2013 comes with prerequisitesinstaller.exe to install the software required for the actual Sharepoint installation.
    I 've installed Windows server 2012 in the R2 edition as well as Standard edition, but installing the prerequisites ends with an issue for the Microsoft Identity Extensions (MIE) on both versions (screenshot).
    The 2012 R2 server has been updated with all latest files by executing Windows update.
    In case of the Server 2012 R2,  MIE is already installed , but somehow the Sharepoint installation is missing something.
    I al;so tried removing default install to let prerequisiteinstaller.exe to install it's own version, but that did not help.
    When I skip the prerequisites remaining items, the Sharepoint installation stops directly , requesting the missing items.
    I've tried several Sharepoint server installation files, including the 180 days free version.
    Screenshots will be uploaded after my account has been checked......

    Hi Jay,
    Installing SharePoint Server 2013 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2012 R2 could lead to unexpected behavior, therefore, Microsoft does not support SharePoint Server 2013 in Windows Server 2012 R2.
    SharePoint Server 2013 with Service Pack 1 and SharePoint Foundation 2013 with Service Pack 1 will offer support for Windows Server 2012 R2.
    Refer to:
    SharePoint 2013 Support for Windows Server 2012 R2
    In addition, as Dave suggested, for the sharepoint server issue, please post in the dedicated forum for a better response.
    Best Regards,

  • Cisco Jabber windows call option and user addition issue

    Hi,
    After uploading the jabber-config.xml (EDI-BDI) on the CUCM, the call option for new user contacts started appearing but the already existing contacts in Jabber client have still no call option. Also when we add new contacts to the Jabber client, it just disappears as such. Any one faced similar issue before. Below are the details and attached jabber-config.xml and LDAP profile snap.
    We are using employeeNumber as attribute in LDAP configuration.
    CUCM - 8.5.1.15900-4
    UCCX - 8.6.3.10000-20
    Jabber for windows - 9.7.0 (Tried with earlier version of jabber as well)

    Hey
    Just right click on the contacts which do not have the call option and select view profile, then see if those contacts that are added are they from the Outlook or the AD, if its AD then they will have a contact number and as such they will have the Call Option enabled.
    If they are from outlook then delete the users and readd them by checking the view profile option to verify they are being pulled from AD.
    Also if i assumed the issue differently then what it is please explain the whole scenario.
    Note-: In case of J4W it will not connect to the directory using the LDAP profile info, it automatically verified and cnnects to the domain using your login creds.

  • Firefox will not close properly when I close a window. Is this a know issue?

    I go to http://www.1035thearrow.com/ and click lisen live on top. it opens another window if I try to close that window Firefox crashes. If this is the last window I close it will partly close (in windows task manager it wont show up in applications) and it won't let me start a new session of Firefox until I stop the firefox.exe process in the task manager. When I restart Firefox it will bring that window back up with the same problem. Is this a known issue and if not how do I report it.

  • IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE TOUCHSMART TX2 1274nr TO WINDOWS 7??? Many issues!

    Please...any expert have advice on upgrading the Touchsmart TX2-1274nr model from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium using the HP upgrade kit?
    I have had several HP help chats since I bought this touchsmart model, and I've only had it for a little over a week and a half.  And, it seems the HPOP chat does not allow me to type my sentences out fully...always cuts me off and chops up my sentences.  Plus, it seems the agents that "help me" never seem to understand ANYTHING I am asking.  This is quite frustrating, irritating and perplexing.
    I tried for the first time to upgrade yesterday, and I did not understand the compatibility report.  First, it says to update the "KEYBOARD FILTER" prior to upgrade.  I searched the computer and nothing comed up, so I have no idea WHAT EXACTLY this is so I can update the driver.  Secondly, it recommends uninstalling 11 programs...6 of which are games (which is fine).  However, it recommends uninstalling the ATI INSTALLER MANAGER and ATI CONTROL CENTER.  This is another VERY CONFUSING and VAGUE recommendation.  This is because only the ATI INSTALLER MANAGER is listed in Programs & Features list.  When you try to uninstall, it becomes confusing as to does one remove ALL ATI COMPONENTS...and, if not, how do you removed just the CCC and the INSTALLER MANAGER.  I managed to get the CCC uninstalled, by performing and "custom" uninstal of the ATI INSTALLER MANAGER in the Prgrams & Features list, but the INSTALLER MANAGER still remains on the computer.
    These problems proved for me confusing.  So, I go yet again to HP Help chat and the "tech" was NOT HELPFUL.  A little sarcastic & vague and just kept saying follow the onscreen instructions.  The instructions have me confused, which is why I was asking so WINDOWS 7 INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
    So, I went to another forum and asked for help.  I was advised that the Keyboard Filter most likely meant it was referencting the N-Trig DuoSense Digitizer, and I was provided the link to the manufacturer's site to download the Windows 7 compatible drivers.  HOWEVER, I could not find out why the compatibility report kept telling me to update the "Keyboard Filter" prior to upgrading.
    So, I ended up removing all on the compatibility report suggested removals prior to upgrading EXCEPT the KEYBOARD FILTER DRIVER UPDATE & the ATI INSTALLER MANAGER.
    I performed the full UPGRADE anyway.
    Sure enough, when all was said and done, after the "UPGRADE" it seemed my system was running noticably SLOWER THAN when it had Vista.  Secondly, I LOST MY TOUCHSCREEN ability.  So, I went back to the link the 3rd party forum person recommended for the N-Trip DuoSense Digitizer Windows 7 drivers...and the touchscreen function returned.  However, I KEPT LOSING MY INTERNET CONNECTION.  Well, my wifi apeared to show a full wireless connection to our home network, but I would open up internet explorer and it would load my home page.  I was able to maybe retain my internet explorer connection for a miunute or 2, and then no matter what website I enetered or link  I clicked...NOTHING.  It would just keep indicating it was loading but minutes would pass and nothing would happen.  Plus, the windows system in general seem to be running slower.
    So, I am highly irritated & upset over this.  And all my searching and researching on HP site and others seem to not giver SPECIFIC AND CLEAR ANSWERS to any of these issues.  WHY?????  Am I the only one to have ALL THESE ISSUES? This morning, I ended up performing a F11 Windows recovery back to Vista Home Premium.  What should I do? 
    Please, if anyone has had similar problems, sound off.  Moreover...PLEASE if you have updated your Touchsmart TX2-1274nr SUCCESSFULLY....PLEASE...PLEASE...ADVISE me as to how I may accomplish the same!
    I thank any advice/suggestions any of you may have in advance.  Kindly, Jimmyb30ohio

    I have the TX2 1012NR and its can upgrade just fine!  Here is a few recommendations "only if u have the HP Upgrade program disks"
    If you have them you can install a clean copy and delete everything... Do not use the use me first disk included because it prompts you to install an older BIOS....  Just use the windows 7 upgrade disk and start the process.  The clean install clears your entire drive but does not void your warranty!   When you use the use me first disk after the install it actually loads everything else needed to get you up in running.  The touchscreen driver and the HP Mediasmart programs will have to be downloaded from the HP support site.  Once again its recommended that if there were any programs installed delete them do not try to update them!  This causes issues and countless errors.  Specifically with touchscreen drivers etc uninstall them before installing the ones from HP support.  I found this was not the easy way to do it but the best way...  I also recommend that when doing any sort of BIOS update that you remove your Battery and leave it connected to a power cord only!  Last but not least if you really mess up and its under warranty... Send it to HP they will set it back up to factory defaults under Windows Vista with the more up to date BIOS installed.  I hope my information helps! Sure you might loose some programs but in the end your computer runs faster and smoother because all the programs installed are made for Windows 7....  Also they did release the Touch Pack for download from the Microsoft website here is a link telling more about the features and benefits and how to get it as it is a totally free download...

  • Windows XP Pro: Service Pack 3 Issue

    Hope I can get some help on this one...I just set up bootcamp and installed Windows XP Pro (Version 2002) and all went well. I go to put in my leopard disc to install the drivers, and after a minute of being in the drive, it ejects the CD. I tried to download the drivers and put them on an external HD but windows doesnt have the boot.exe to open it.
    Now heres the kicker. I was having issues with my MBP and a good friend of mine offered to clean install and fix the computer for a monetary fee. He did so, and installed Snow Leopard for me (I had Leopard before). I was never given the CD by my friend, so I was using my roomies to install the drivers. Is this whats causing the problem since its not the CD registered to my comp?
    Any help would be awesome! Thanks guys!

  • T60p Windows 7 (x64) Atheros WiFi driver issue

    Hello,
    The new Windows 7 supported Access Connections driver support matrix says the Microsoft provided Atheros driver is the one to use with Windows 7.  However, I can't get this driver to connect on a T60p.  I tried with two access points (Linksys and Apple) with security all the way off and all the way up through WPA2-Personal (AES).  No dice.
    This is on a system that used to work just fine under XP (x86) and the lenovo provided wireless driver.
    So I then tried the Lenovo provided Vista X64 Wifi drivers under Windows 7 and the WIFI seemed to work fine except for a resume issue (see below).
    I verified this state of affairs on two separate T60ps.
    Question(s): 
    1) Am I losing out on anything by using the Vista x64 drivers under Windows 7?
    2) Does Lenovo know about this issue?
    The reason I believe this is not an optimal state of affairs is that I had an issue when I resumed from sleep or hibernation.  The wireless network would not reconnect.  After a reboot, it would connect just fine.  I trolled around the net and found a solution to this where you put the minimum CPU speed to 100% under advanced power management in the control panel.  After that the Vista driver does fine when resuming.  But this makes me feel like I'm burning battery for no good reason other than to prevent an issue for when I resume from sleep/hibernation.
    Any ideas?

    Go into Device Manager and check the The Power Management Properties of the Atheros Network Adapter. Look to see if the adapter is powered off during sleep. You might try keeping it on and then see if you can lower the other power settings.
