Windows Vista Speaker Feedback

I have a Macbook Pro 15.4" 2.4GHz and have been running MS Windows Vista on Bootcamp. When I boot into Vista, I can always hear a high pitch feedback when I place my hands over the left speaker or whenever the lid is closed. I don't have the same problem when running OS X Leopard.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Windows Vista Speaker Propert

Hi guys i have a Audigy 2 ZS sound card and using latest beta 4 drivers with it..... could plz tell me what are the best settings For the Speaker Properties & for Sample rate, so that i could get good sound quality. I hear a lot of mp3 songs & watch dvd-rip movies.......... And i'm using a Logtech Z-2300 speakers with it........

24bit is nice, but current Audigy Vista drivers (beta and those really, really nasty 2.2.0002 ones) have various issues.
Sometimes when you play media, then after play games, the sound will distort. Earlier drivers just stop producing sounds after a while.
It's a shame because the current beta drivers sound really crisp with 24bit audio sources.

Problem with Speaker and Headset in Windows Vista

Hi, I just got my Macbook Pro 13" and having problem with speaker and headset when working with Windows Vista (I have installed the driver from bootcamp). The sound very weak if I play music from Itunes or youtube even the volume already full and if i put my headset the sound not coming out. Is there anyone can help me to solve this problem?
Regards,Edwin

When you post about Windows / Boot Camp, in Mac Pro (workstation) forum where others with a MacBOOK would be more likely to have same hardware configuration, and you won't find Windows drivers on Apple downloads. More like at
http://www.guru3d.com or other sites, or go to RealTek (if that is the type of audio you have).

Cannot speak and listen simultaneously A205-S5825 Model Windows Vista, Realtek Sound Card

Hello there, My problem is that there is no sound coming from the speakers when speaking at the microphone. I can record my voice, but cannot speak and listen simultaneously... As far as I know there should be an option named Monitor Input in the Levels tab of the Speaker Properties in Windows Vista... However - I am missing such option... Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi Gangrene,
Try reinstalling your audio driver: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-58189-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...

IPod Shuffle Error (-48) : Windows Vista

Hoping someone can help with my predicament here:
I have Windows Vista Ultimate and the most recent version of iTunes. I bought the shuffle new about 2-3 months ago. When I connect my shuffle it always gives me the error in the screenshot below and prompts me to format the device as well. It will also do this each time a song changes if I am listening to the songs on the iPod through iTunes. When transferring songs to the iPod it prompts me with these pop-ups for each song that is loaded.
I have tried to search for that error code and have not had any luck. Has anyone run into this issue before.
All software is up-to-date: Windows/iTunes/Shuffle Firmware
Thanks for any feedback!
Here is a screenshot of the errors:
http://www.drunet.org/images/iPod-Shuffle-Error48.png

Hi, I would suggest you to try Temporarily changing the Time Zone setting and then Open the latest version of iTunes and Restore your iPod. After successfully restoring your iPod, change the Time Zone back to your normal setting.
Hope this works.

Windows vista recovery error CTOERROR.flg and following that error 0x643 while installing update

Hi All
system info : HP LAPTOP DV6 -1256tx , windows vista sp1 32 bit
When I am trying to install windows vista sp1 from recovery disks/partition I am getting the error from recovery manager prompting me to choose either to retry or see the details for failure : CTOERROR.flg in form of notepad on my desktop. I have done retry 100 times but to no avail. I cannot restart after this recovery failure message as it shows dialog box on restart: windows security update is not installed successfully or is not trusted.So, i have to go through recovery process again to see the desktop (everything functioning - internet,video, music all) but only once.
Last time i got this message too . When i did installing windows from recovery disks few months back, that time i figured out to install all imp. updates through automatic windows update.All the updates were installed successfully and then it restarted and gone through process of language settings,time settings and all....
But this time when i am trying to update windows, i am getting windows update error 0x643 which is for security update for .net framewrok 3.5 sp1 and family update.I do know the answer how to get away with this error from "windows help" and also from this forum too, which asks for installing .net framework updates from windows update site directly. But the problem is:
Windows update ask me to restart after automatic or manual windows update installation takes place and restart causes problem as it shows dialog box - windows security update is not installed successfully . I need to install all updates in one go like last time from my understanding.:
1. So if i install windows update (to try my luck as last time) it shows 0x643 error for .net framework and asks to restart and after that when i try to manually install failed updated 0x643 it asks me to restart the windows for pending updates.
2. Alternatively, If i try to install failed update first just after recovery failure it won't allow me to install important updates for vista sp1 and asks to restart windows.
All i need is to successfully update all updates through windows automatic update which is not happening at the moment.
Not even able to upgrade to sp2 bcz it too restarts for installing.
Please Help.
Thanks in advance.

Solution to connect calander to Windows Vista 64 bit without Outlook.

Ok, if any of you are like me you like to use all the functions possible on the nano. Unfortunately for me I have one of the most challenging systems to work with trying to get media onto nano from computer and vise verse. I’m running Windows Vista 64 bit and I wanted to sync the calendar from my computer onto my nano. Long story short is if you contact Apple support they will most likely tell you that you have to download Outlook or Outlook express. Unfortunately Outlook is not exactly cheap and Outlook Express doesn’t work on the Vista. So you will have to find a different calendar to use. Two options exist for us Vista users, neither of them is automatic, but at least you can use the calendar.
Option #1: Optional calendar to use is called Microsoft Works Calendar. It is already pre install on Vista and has an option to export the calendar as an iCalender. How to use it is you fill in the calendar, then go to File> Export> iCalendar. A box pops open called Export iCalendar File. In that box select All appointments, by doing that I believe it over rides the range option. Then hit OK. Then the Save As box opens and you will have to save it into your nano’s calandar folder. And hit Save once you locate the nano’s calendar file. There you are done. Now every time you make a change to the calendar on your computer you do the same steps but always save the calendar as the same name so it will over write the existing calendar on your nano.
Option #2: This option is similar as above but it allows you to use any calendar you have on your computer that can save the calendar as a .ics file format. Choose the calendar of your option but before wasting any time filling in the calendar first check to see if the calendar can be saved as a .ics type. If the calendar of choice doesn’t allow you to save that type of file then it will not work and you will have to choose a different calendar to use. Once you find the calendar to use then you can fill it in as you need to. Then go to File> Save as> and select the save as type to be a iCalendar File (*.ics). And Save in you nano’s calendar file. Now you’re done. Remember though every time you want to update the calendar on your nano you will have to save it as the same name so it over writes the calendar on the nano and updates properly.
I know this doesn’t sync up automatically but it is the only way to use the calendar on nano if you don’t want to purchase Outlook, cause Apple only programmed itunes to work with Outlook or Outlook Express and they do not have any other options available.

Your speaker has probably auto connected to your phone so the Nano can't see it. Turn off BT on your phone and any other BT devices you've connected with, put the speaker in pairing mode and try again.

Windows Vista Beta 2 and Soundblaster PCI

When Windows Vista Beta 2 was first installed, it installed a generic driver for the PCI52 sound card. However, since the driver is generic It has limited functionality. I am not able to enable the quadraphonic option in Control Panel under the "Audio Devices and Sound Themes" icon. I would like a more compatible driver to replace the generic driver, or something that would enable the quadraphonic option.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Charles

Charles,
I'd like to know as well. I have a 4-speaker system attached to my PCI52 as well with Windows VISTA SP and have not found a way to enable the other two speakers.

Windows Vista 64 bit w/older 2 dual core 3.0ghz Mac Pro with NVIDIA 7300

I have read a variety of the posts that have appeared here on the use of Windows Vista 64 bits on a Mac Pro. I remain confused, and but want to do this. I have a Mac Pro purchased in the Spring of '07 with dual 3.0Ghz dual core Xeon cpus and 10gb of ram, using the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT and running 10.5.1, with multiple drives. I want to run the 64 bit version of Vista Ultimate to use my ram, and to gain the performance this box should offer. It appears that I have three options:
1. Boot Camp: I don't know if the drivers are available, seems like the new Mac Pro drivers probably would not work, even if I could find them, since I have an older Mac Pro with a pair of the dual core Xeon CPUs. Don't know if there is an alternate source than Apple for the drivers, or a way to get around the problem in boot camp.
2. Parallels: I do not believe that 64 bit apps are supported by Parallels
3. Fusion: Their web site says they support Win Vista 64 bit, but it is not clear to me on the web site where the drivers are obtained, or perhaps they are built in to Fusion. Will I get the performance and memory benefits in fusion? Or is the OSX virtual overhead so high that this is a fools errand?
I do a lot of video editing, and fully 95% of my life is in the Mac world, but I have individuals who send files for editing, and occasionally they require Windows tools, much to my chagrin. I also have a small number of programs that need Windows 64. I occasionally am required to do some development work, and would like to use this machine for that purpose if it can indeed run Win Vista 64bit. I have XP loaded on a more modest box andit is running fine when I need it, which isn't very often.
Any help, or successful experience in running Windows Ultimate 64 bit on this hardware, utilizing its resources would be greatly appreciated.

Here are my results after further digging online and from my own experience.
Here is the procedure:
1. Check whether your Mac has the 32-bit EFI or 64-bit EFI
http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/08/snow-leopard-106-and-64-bit-what-you-need-to- know/
2. Create a Boot Camp (BC) partition for Windows 7 x64. Resize the partition size using the slider in the BC app. Follow the instruction, insert the Windows 7 disk and reboot.
3. This will load the PC partition which is FAT formatted for now. Choose the Boot Camp partition on which to install Win 7, but choose in the option to format that partition. It will automatically format it in NTFS. Otherwise, it will not install on that partition.
Note : A "OEM System Builder" Windows 7 64-bit Professional UPGRADE install without any issues what so ever. The upgrade disk is a full install. Read this for further information:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/174288/windows7_upgrade_madecheaper.html
4. Run windows, then insert the Snow Leopard disk. It will tell you your hardware cannot support x64 version. Do the following procedure to manually install the driver:

5. Then update Boot camp using Apple Software Update in Windows.
6. All hardware works fine except the sound. The sound only comes out of the internal speaker, even when headphone or speakers are plugged in the jack. Installing the Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs driver in order to fixe the problem. Shutdown and reboot to make it applicable. Try a second time if it still does not work:

Windows Vista 64 Bit VPN Client

Windows Vista and Airport Express

I can connect my Airport Express to my wireless router via an ethernet cable and get up the configuration page - easy!
Now for the difficult bit!
I cannot get Airport Admin Utility to recognise the Airport Express (base station in Apple Speak!) when I disconnect from the router.
Airport Express really sounds a great way to connect ITUNES to remote speakers etc but it is necessary to get it working with Windows Vista and get the wireless function working.Anybody sucessfully done it? Please only respond if you have managed to do this personally!

William - I am in a similar place.... I have an airport express running as an extension to my home wireless network. I have a TC that I use as my router. My macs can connect to my network (of course) but the windows vista laptop (sony vaio) does not...... HELP! Have you been able to get any answers??

No headphones in Windows Vista/7

This has been bugging me for a long time now and it's time to ask.
My Windows 7 speaker setup doesn't include an option for headphones:
Using onboard audio will allow me to choose Headphones. ?Using the same Creative driver under Windows XP will allow me to choose headphones. ?But under Vista and 7, the headphones option is missing.
I can still set CCL to Headphones, but I somehow feel that using this in combination with the Stereo setting under the Windows Speaker Setup is not optimal and that I'm missing out on some features that are offered by purchasing and using the X-Fi
X-FI XtremeGamer
Creative Labs X-Fi driver 2.8.003
Am I misconfiguredDid I not set something up properlyAre there more steps that need to be done beyond installing the driver and the Console LauncherIs this a problem with the driverSince upgrading to Vista a while ago, and subsequently 7 last year, I have never seen an option for headphones...unless I remove the X-Fi and use my onboard Realtek.
Any and all help and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated. ?If any other information is needed, I will gladly provide what I can. ?Thanks for your time.

Thank you for your response, KokChoy-CL.
So Stereo is the correct selection for headphonesThat's confusing, as there is still a selection for headphones in the CCL. The CCL seems to stay in sync with whichever speaker selection I'm making in the Windows 7 Speaker Setup, except when I have Headphones selected as my speakers in CCL.
For example, let's say I open CCL and set my speakers to 5.. If I open the Windows 7 Speaker Setup, no matter what it was previously set to, it is now set to 5.. If I go back to Windows Speaker Setup and change this to 7., Windows Speaker Setup is changed to 7.. I can also make these changes in the Windows Speaker Setup and they will also be changed in CCL...with an exception or two.
If I again go back to CCL and change my speakers to Headphones, Windows Speaker Setup will be set to Stereo. From this point, I can change Windows Speaker Setup to any of the other selections listed, but once CCL is set to Headphones, it will not change along with the Windows Speaker Setup.
Now, let's say I have CCL set to 5., but I want to change my speaker setup through Windows Speaker Setup. So I go there and change Windows Speaker Setup from 5. to Stereo. Back in CCL, my speaker setup has been changed from 5. to 2/2., not Headphones...
This is where I'm confused. What is the purpose of the Headphones selection in CCL and why would I choose that over 2/2. when I am using headphonesWhy does the Creative driver not allow for an option of headphones in the Windows Speaker setup. What is shown there is entirely dependent upon the sound driver. Why, when set to Headphones, does the CCL no longer recognize changes made to the Windows Speaker Setup
And more importantly, what is the correct settingI don't feel like I'm getting all that I can get out of this card. Configuring games is almost a crap shoot as some games seem to give better directional audio when set to 5., while others give better directional audio when set to headphones.
In older Source engine games(pre-L4D), when you launch them they detect the Windows Speaker settings and adjust accordingly. So in my case, in combination with ALchemy and CMSS, when I fire up, say, TF2, the Source engine detects my audio as 5., even though Windows Speaker Setup is set to Stereo and CCL is set to Headphones. If I remove TF2 from the list of ALchemy enabled games, it only detects 2/2.. But Windows Speaker Setup is still set to stereo and CCL is still set to Headphones. I guess ALchemy is doing the job of providing surround support here, thus the 5. selection...but the Source engine also provides an option for headphones. I can set it this way when I launch the game, but it's forced back to 5. with every subsequent launch, due to detection of Windows speaker settings. I can also force the headphone selection through a configuration file that runs every time the game is started. But if the X-Fi driver provided for an option of headphones, it would just detect headphones and I'd be on my way...
But with the game set to 5., there is a world of difference in sound as opposed to when it's set to headphones. In my opinion, the 5. selection is far superior. But why is 5. a superior selection to headphones when I am actually using headphonesMaybe that's specific to the Source engine... Maybe I'm supposed to be setting my games to 5. It's very confusing and I haven't been able to come across much Creative documentation, let alone one that would give me a clear and definiti've answer.
I guess I'm just confused. Each game seems to perform differently with different settings. In some games, a 5. setting will sound marvelous and I'm totally immersed. In other games, a 5. setting will make all the sounds sound "fabricated". I wish I could describe it better than that, but to keep it simple, sometimes 5. sounds amazing while at other times it doesn't work right.
How am I supposed to get the most out of this X-FiI've read all the stickies here, I've read tons of stuff on other boards, I've gone through all the tutorials here on Creative's site... There is conflicting information all over the place, even on Creative's own site. I would just like to know how I am supposed to go about setting this up. I've had it for almost two years now and I've been happy so far, but the Windows 7 driver from June seems to be lacking the proper functionality for me to continue using the card. I get mixed results in every game. If it comes down to it, I don't mind at all having to change settings per game... I'd just like to know which settings need to be set to what.
If an option for headphones doesn't exist in Windows Speaker Setup, what are the proper CCL and in-game settings I need to useI only use headphones, like a lot of gamers. Since this card is specifically tailored for gamers, why would an option for headphones not be available in Windows Speaker SetupWill this be corrected in future driver releases or is the plan to move forward with only a selection of Stereo
Thanks again for your time.
