Windows pro x64 with soundblster live World of Warcr

when i start up my world of warcraft, all of my sound gets greatly distorded. when i go into my sound control panel in windows and change the speeker seting to ither head phones or anything that is not curently selected as the default, the sound gose back to normal. when i am in world of warcraft, and i quit the game, the sound will then go back to normal as well. plz help, it is extreamly annoying to go into the setting over and over again to fix the sound when every i play world of warcraft.

I do know one thing about that game that you didnt list about it's hardware requirements. The game needs to have a certain version of DirectX. Do you have the right version of directX installed (alot of games have it included on the game cd and will ask you to install it at the same time you are installing the game)? Does your sound card support the version of directX that is needed by the game? The latest version of DirectX is 9.0c and I am pretty sure that World of Warcraft is a New game so it is pretty likely that World of Warcraft needs at least ver 8 or 9 of directX. Click Start, then Run, then type "dxdiag" without the qoutes and press enter. If it asks you to scan for the hardware compatibility say Yes or No(if you say yes it will scan your pc and will take a while to finish) on the screen that comes up, in the middle near the bottom it will say what version of direct X you have.

  • Wi-Fi slow in Windows 7 x64 with Retina MacBook Pro / MacBook Pro (same generation)

    We have two MacBook Pros same generation but one is Retina
    I'm using a Linksys EA4500 router, firmware is fully up to date
    Under 10.8.1 (fully up to date) both machines see a 300 to 450Mbits speed and if I ping the wireless router all of the pings are under 3ms
    Under Windows 7 x64 (fully up to date) both machines see about 10-12Mbits speed but I see all sorts of time outs and high latency when I ping the wireless router, they look like 1,2,2,2,1,3,4,6,455,500,timeout,timeout,1,1,2,3 and so on
    Both of these tests were done standing infront of the router
    Both machines are running 5.106.198.19 of the Broadcom 902.11n driver (dated 04/05/2012)
    Is any one else experiencing the same issues? I understand Bootcamp is provided as is but this driver is bunk

    I've followed that link:
    Find it here: http://www.wireless-driver.com/broadcom-wireless-driver-utility-winxp-vista-win7 -ver51001968/
    and installed the driver, but I notice no difference.
    The boocamp 5.0.5033 driver doesn't work any better.
    Where can I find a really old driver (like bootcamp ver 2.7, which worked great with this MBP),... or.. how do I extract just the broadcom wireless driver out of the bootcamp exe or dmg file if I can get my hands on bootcamp 2.7?
    Or ... Maybe my Actiontek modem/router that Centurylink provided doesn't communicate well with broadcom wifi cards?

  • Not able to scan on windows 8 x64 with acrobat 10.1.4

    I am not able to scan on windows 8 pro x64 rtm (from MSDN) with acrobat 10.1.4.
    My combined printer/scanner model is HP Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw.
    My scanner driver "WIA-HP LJ300-400 M375-M475 scan" works fine in Windows Paint, but when trying to scan with Acrobat it only shows a "Wrong parameter" message.  When I try again or to close Acrobat a "operation not allowed because scanning is in progress" error message comes.
    Is acrobat 10.1.4 ment to be windows 8 x64 compatible (like the sales rep told me)?
    Is there a solution to this problem?

    As Acrobat X up through 10.1.4 wasn't intended for a Windows 8 "beta" a possible solution is to use what ever comes along that has been designed for Windows 8.
    Keep in mind Acrobat 9.2 worked with Windows 7 until the first round of Win 7 updates. Full functionality came with Acrobat X (the 10.1 update provided PDFMaker compatiblility with some Office 2010 x64 applications).
    Be well...

  • Windows Vista x64 with YouP-PAX XFI2007 Revision 2 Works quite w

    Dear all X-FI members
    I have an X-FI Xtreme Fidelity card and install with Windows Vista x64.
    . I download the latest driver from Creative SB-XFI Version 2.3.002
    2. I download the Media Source CMS5 Version 5.0.38
    3. I install both of them
    4. I download YouP-PAX XFI2007 Revesion 2 from the web filefont below:
    http://files.filefront.com/YouP_PAX_X_FI2007_Rev2/;748043;/fileinfo.html
    5. I extract to a folder. inside the folder there is an instruction as below:
    Don't click on setup.exe but click on PAXsetup.exe. It gave an error.
    6. I cancel and do it again by clicking on Audio(sub-folder) and then click on
    setup(sub-folder)and then click on setup.exe. It gives me a table to select.
    I uncheck driver box, and click next and go through the rest installation smoothly.
    7. After restart computer. The MediaSourceGo pops up and display all features
    8. I check THX console with gane mode and entertaiment mode. All works
    9. On both Modes, all speakers 2., 4., 5. and 7. can be selected and have all sounds
    0. X_FI CMSS-3D is enabled, X_FI Crystalizer is enabled, EQ and Mixer are worked.
    . I do not play games so i do not know any thing about Alchemy and game stuffs
    2. when you try to change the Speaker mode. You have to click on THX console to do
    3. By the way, even the YouP-Pax revision was working well too. I don't see anything different from YouP-Pax X-FI2007 revision 2. They both work well for me.
    4. Reminding that. When you install the applications. PleaseDon't click on setup.exe or Paxsetup.exe. But please click on Audio folder, and then setup folder. then you see the setup.exe, please go down and click on setup.exe and please uncheck the driver box and anything you don't want to be install then uncheck them. After that click on next and that is it. Restart computer.
    With all the best to all of you.

    Thank you for your post a reply RejZoR
    I have come back and updtae the driver from YouP-Pax 2007 revision 2, and it was going through well. You are definitely right.
    I hope that every one has all things worked well and be happy with what they have bought from creative
    many thanks to those who has done a good contributions to the drivers and applications to make them work.

  • Crackling sound on Windows 7 x64 with K9N neo V 1.0

    Hi
    I installed Windows 7 x64 ultimate on my computer yesterday and everything worked fine except the audio, I installed the latest realtek drivers from MSI for x64 windows vista/7. But still I got the problem that it play fine and suddenly it "cracks" for less than a second and then it's like fastforwarding the missed ~halfsecond.
    My hardware is:
    4600+ X2 amd athlon
    Ms-7260 ver 1.0 k9n neo nForce 550
    6Gb of 667 MhZ kingston ram (2x2GB, 2x1GB)
    GTS250 1024 mb MSI
    samsung 500gb internal sata hdd (which windows 7 x64 ultimate is installed on)
    q-tec 650w powersupply
    The audio works perfectly in windows xp x86 and has done that the last 3+ years.
    Is there a "fix" for this?
    Thanks in advance 

    Oh man, this is quite some time ago that I could do this...
    here it comes, BRASE YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    EVERYBODY GET OF THIS FORUM NOW!!
    THERE IS A FIRE HAZARD!!
    A Q-TEC POWER SUPPLY HAS BEEN SPOTTED!!
    LEAVE NOW, WHILE YOU CAN!!!!
    Man, that's quite some time ago I could do this...
    I know, you may find it a bit overdone but really, a Q-Tec PSU is just one piece of junk. It's just some componetns thrown into a box and then they call it a power supply. Did you actually feel the weight of that thing? I bet you didn't. It weighs nothing, so you can't even use it as a door stop or paerweight.
    Really, shut down your pc, take it out and throw it away. Be careful not to hit someone while doing that. (I mean, throw it in the bin or take it back to the guy who sold you this thing).
    Get a good power supply. One with enough juice on the 12V-line. Take a psu with one 12V-rail. A good psu will cost you, but you will most certainly notice the difference.

  • Windows Pro upgrade with Hyper-V for Windows App development

    Hi
    I am just starting to develop my first windows phone app. I dowloaded Visual studio 2013 express on my windows 8 machine. I started to follow the Microsoft Virtual Academy, Develop Windows phone apps for Beginners with Bob Tabor.
    Anyway, when i try to run the Emulator, it tells me i need Hyper-V which my version of windows doesn't have. Apparently i need Windows Professional. Anyway, this costs about £100 to upgrade. Also, for the emulator i am told i need 4gb of RAM.
    Question 1: My laptop is an i5, 64bit machine, windows 8.1 normal edition, with 4gb of RAM. It says of which 3.88gb of ram is usable. Whatever that means?
    The minimum requirement for the emulator is 4gb, will it work on my machine which apparently has 3.88 ?
    Question 2: I already own a nokia windows 8.1 phone. A basic enough model. Instead of buying the upgrade for windows pro, is it a big hassle to run my test apps on that phone? How difficult is it to run a test build of an app on my phone? Can i run it via
    the inside of visual studio? Or do i need to go to file explorer, copy and paste files over to the phone, disconnect it from the laptop etc. How many steps are involved? If its a load of hassle i might be safer to just bite the bullet and buy the Windows pro
    upgrade.
    (although i am aware the emulator can't test some things that the actual phone can..eg near field communication etc.)
    Any advice?
    Regards
    Conor

    It's not that big of a hassle to debug your app by deploying it on your phone. It's just a matter of choosing Device instead of Emulator when you start debugging in VS.
    Some of the downsides are that your phone's screen must be on and not showing the lock screen, and the fact that you can only have a maximum of 2 apps installed on your phone for debugging purposes. If you start developing and debugging a third app, then
    you must first uninstall one of the other 2 apps to be able to deploy the third app to your phone. To my knowledge the emulator does not have such a limit. I believe there's a paid developer account option available somewhere if you want to raise the limit
    beyond 2 apps.
    Other than that, being tied to a single resolution as Dave mentioned is another downside to using a device.

  • I cannot install windows 7 x64 with AMD/ASUS RAID driver

    Trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on an ASUS M5A97 mobo with AMD SB850 RAID, two WD 750GB drives configured as RAID 0. No drives are recognized by W7 install, so I choose Load Drivers. I put the drivers on a USB stick. Install finds the drivers there,
    starts loading them, then comes back with "Installing an unsigned 64 bit driver is not supported and may result in an unstable Windows installation." I downloaded the latest drivers from ASUS website which are WHQL certified (as are the one's on the motherboard
    disk). I saw other posts that recommend clicking Repair instead of Install, but I don't see where that option is. All I am given as options are Upgrade or Install. Choosing Upgrade tells me to boot Windows first. But this is a brand new install so...
    I tried pressing F8 as setup was booting and chose "Disable Signed Driver Requirement" but that had no effect at all. If I turn off the RAID W7 sees both disks and happily installs. I see related posts going back to 2009; surely someone has
    a solution for this issue?
    Da Bomb

    Hi guys,
    I have been struggling with the same issue.
    Win7 x64. Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 Mobo with Intel core i7-3930K at 3.20 GHz
    Marvell 88SE9172 SATA RAID controller with two Hitachi 500 GB spinning disks configured as RAID1
    Windows would get to the point of asking for a mass storage drive. It would not see the RAID I had created.
    Tried every driver I could find. Tried drivers from the "Station Drivers" website. Tried Marvell drivers for the same chip from the ASUS website. No luck. Tried loading from CD as well as USB flash drive. Always the same result...  Windows would find
    the drivers appropriate for the hardware found, I would select the RAID version, and after a few seconds, would report that the drivers were unsigned, and the installation was not supported for 64-bit drivers. Clicking OK would take me back to the load drivers
    display with no new drives listed in the available drives window.
    I tried hitting F8 during startup, and selected the "allow install of unsigned drivers option". That didn't do ANYTHING. Still the same error.
    Someone suggested putting the drivers in the root directory. That didn't work.  I also disabled all other drives except one CD rom and a USB drive and made sure that my RAID array was the first drive in the boot list.
    Tried doing a windows repair, as someone else suggested. (This is an option that is available on the install disk I am using. It's enabled as part of EMS (emergency management services) in setup. Anyway, this was reported to be a workaround
    to the signed driver issue. It would allow me to browse to the individual files, but no matter which one I selected, the response was "cannot find hardware appropriate to the driver selected" or some such nonesense. So I gave up on that.
    Doing the install with the controller in IDE mode with just one drive connected, would result is Windows installing without a hitch. The problem was clearly when I presented 64-bit windows with a controller in RAID mode.
    Long story less long, here's what worked for me....
    Out of desperation, I began trying other subfolders in the driver lists. The Gigabyte manual indicated that the AMD64 subfolder was the correct one for the Marvell controller, when using RAID mode with 64-bit Windows. After trying every subfolder of
    every driver I could find, the driver in the i386 folder actually worked. It initially came back with the same error about unsigned drivers, but after clicking OK, my RAID drive showed up in the list. I have been able to partition and format
    the drive from within Windows setup, and am continuing with the install now. Hopefully won't be any problems booting from the drive post install, but so far it looks good, and I'm relieved that I was able to get it this far.
    The whole process has been one of the most frustrating computing experiences I've ever had. This is what it was like back in the 90's when building PCs from scratch.  I'm amazed that in this day and age the process is still so poorly documented
    and filled with potholes, traps and caveats. Shame on the entire PC industry for allowing this to continue. I'm not asking that they jump in and try to automate it and do all the thinking for me (their solution for everything lately)...all I'm asking for it
    clear, concise and accurate INFORMATION.
    With the right information, and software that provides accurate feedback, this would all be easy...and even fun.
    Hope this helps someone faced with the same problem.

  • Windows 7 x64 with boot camp 4.0 - "unsupported model"

    I just purchased and installed Lion yesterday on my late 2008 macbook (aluminum unibody macbook5,1 Core2Duo 8GB Ram). I then installed Win 7 64-bit professional without any problems, but when I ran the windows support software from BC 4.0, I received the message: "x64-bit unsupported on this computer model." I previously had the same Win7n 64-bit installed on snow leopard without any problems using bootcamp 3.2 (I might have had to do the compatibility trick to get the x64 bit drivers to install). So is there a way to force install the BC 4.0 x64bit drivers? Maybe BC 3.2 usable with Lion?... I have to imagine someone else ran into this same problem, any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    In the Windows 7 Start Menu Type “cmd”, then right-click on the program that appears and choose “Run As Administrator”.
    Then enter;
    E:
    cd "WindowsSupport\Drivers\Apple"
    msiexec /i BootCamp64.msi
    "E:" is the drive of my pendrive. use your own drive
    it worked for my 2009 iMac
    This in fact, should be the correct answer. After a Senior Techinician who I know personally told me that there is a list of Apple products that do not support 64bit, I managed to install it on my 5,1 Aluminum Macbook without a problem using the command line.
    Thanks a bunch!

  • Windows 7 (x64) with HP Pavilion

    Hi everybody!
    Today have formatted my Notebook and changed the OPERATING SYSTEM to Windows 7 (64-Bit) (Ultimate Edition)
    Need basic drivers for the my HP Pavilion g6-2254ca Notebook for the following devices, currently being Yellow Highlighted by the Device Manager:

    2. Network Controller
    3. PCI Device
    4. PCI Simple Communications Controller
    5. SM Bus Controller
    6. Some Unknown Device
    7. USB Mass Storage Device
    Luckily one of the USB ports works so I can get whatever drivers I need onto there without much issue.  
    I've noticed this issue from a lot of other users for different revisions of the G6 however the drivers (expectedly) didn't work for me.  I've had trouble tracking down the drivers for my OS, and I think I've pretty much borked my Windows 8 install.  Please help!  Thanks

  • Windows 7 (x64) Sync with Zire 72

    I have tried, unsuccessfully, to sync my desktop running Windows 7 (x64) with my Zire 72 using Hotsync Manager 6.0.1 through a USB connection.   The software does not appear to install properly, as it stops in the middle of downloading the latest information (it gives a message saying that there is no internet connection - yet I just downloaded the software using the internet!). 
    Has anyone else succeeded?  If so, whad did you do?
    Thanks,

    Post relates to: Zire 72

    Thanks it is nice to know that there is someone keeping Palm going for those of us that like our devices. I have had some problems with downloads in that the result was I had to restart my HP computer from zero and may be just a little more cautious than I was before that event. I used what I did so I wouldn't have to take a chance with any download. Thanks for the new company name, Aceeca, that is something I didn't have before. I found this thread when I did a search on Zire 72 and posted what I had found to work for my devices. I wish the more detailed information had been noted in this post before I posted.
    I found this and the other threads while doing other searches for Zire 72 and none of them mentioned the solution you noted. BTW I went through the terms of use and I have been unable to find mentions of multiple copies of the same post so thanks for letting me know about that as well.
    I did searches fo Zire 72 and Palm Zire 72 but only found mentions of the desktop versions but nothing like the information you provided. I wonder if there is a mechanism that could tie the various threads to the solutions provided by the experts. For my own edification, when someone finds one of these threads that goes so far then stops, how do we find the solution without knowing the wording of the title like the one you provided? Most of us limit our search to our particular device to keep the results manageable, you know how it gets doing too broad of a search.
    Thanks for your assistance and patience

  • A55M-P33 - Win 7 Pro x64 - 8.00GB (3.49 GB usable)

    Hello!
    After a few hours of google searching i've decided to ask for help.
    Search of this forum did yeald one post similar to mine: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161010.msg1180013
    But there was no solution.
    Problem is very weird.
    Win 7 Pro x64 with 8 GB of RAM but only 3,49 usable.
    Memtest and Ubuntu see's only 3,49 GB, so it's not an OS issue.
    But BIOS detects all 8GB, so it's not a defected module. At least it shouldn't be, it a new rig with no other problems.
    I guess that integrated graphic reserves that memory, but any options regarding this don't have any effect on 3.49 GB usable.
    Although graphic driver in windows says graphic memory is 2GB (see the first pic)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    There are only two memory slots. Both filled by 4GB Patriot modules.
    I should not open case because is under warranty so i guess i'll contact the store who sold me the computer.
    Wanted to know if that is some kind of feature before i return it to a store.
    Could not believe and thought that Svet was joking when he recomended to check for bent pins (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161010.msg1180051#msg1180051)
    For all the years that i worked with computers i never saw a CPU with bent pins or any other kind of damage to boot the OS and work "just fine". 
    The only problem that this computer has is it doesn't utilize all the memory.

  • Reader 11.0.2 extremely slow on Win 8 Pro x64

    I have a Core i7 quad-core with 8Gb of ram and a hybrid ssd/hdd 750Gb drive. My computer is quite speedy with everthing _except_ adobe reader. 50% of the time when I try to open a .pdf of various sizes (from 300Kb to 300Mb) the file just never opens at all, and I have to open task manager and kill the adobe process and try it all over. When it does open, a 500Kb file will take about 90 seconds to open, if you want to scroll down? that's another 90 seconds. Want to close Adobe Reader, you guessed it, another 90 seconds go by, if it doesn't completely freeze.
    I've reinstalled twice. I even used Revo Uninstalller to really remove Adobe Reader and then re-install. Same slower than molasses in January going uphill on a cold day result.
    I do not have 3rd party Anti-Virus as Windows 8 has it's Defender renamed Security Essentials re-renamed Defender.

    I came looking for an answer to the same problem.
    Ever since the recent upgrade to Acrobat Reader 11.0.2 the program has been unsually slow off and on.
    Mine isn't as bad as PhlMike17's, but I too am running a quad core with 8gigs windows pro x64 up to date, I use mostly for Illustrator and Photoshop/web design.
    This morning I checked back to a 275kb 1page pdf image copy of an estimate from a partner company, and it loaded then hung for 5-10 seconds as has been the norm since upgrading.
    Sometimes it doesn't hang at all, file size doesn't seem to be an issue.
    I always do the upgrades.
    I am running the Japanese version.
    cheers.
