Wow headset audio delay

hello
i am currently using mac os x mountain lion (clean install) with support team updated drivers (drivers on the website are not working so they sent me modified ones) but i have a audio delay issue. i.e. when i shoot the sound is coming after fire like 100ms. its a little delay but it already ruins my game experience. please help me to fix it. By the way when i am using built in speakers or even airplay speakers its all normal and there is no delay at all
wow headset wired

The headset works for me... but the control panel does not.
I get this error:
None of the features work. Not EQ, not voice FX, not THX - NOTHING.
And there is no way to clean uninstall to reinstall the drivers - I am having to manually sniff around the system folder... Try and resintstall - same issue.
Is there not a Beta Driver we can try and help with?
Cause this is an expensive failure right now.

Optical Audio Through X-Fi to WoW Headset

I have my consoles hooked up to my PC through the optical jack in the front panel of an SB-X-Fi Platinum Fatality Champion Series and the line-in jack in the rear. This audio works fine when outputting to speakers. However, I just got the WoW Wireless Headset, and it is not transmitting that signal. The headset works perfectly for PC-based games and music, but for some reason it will not take the audio input signals and transmit them to the headset. I've set the headset as the default audio device in the control panel (Win 7 64-bit), and have checked every setting I can find in the Creative Audio Console both for the sound card and the headset, but with no luck. No matter what, the console audio always outputs to the speakers rather than the headphones.
Anybody have any ideas for how to make this work?
Thanks.

Boojum,
The WoW headset functions as a separate audio device on it's own, you cannot have both the sound card and headset working at the same time.

WoW Headset USB

WoW Headset USB?Hi have problem with my new headset who just wont work. I have done all steps from the installation "guide" and it wont work. When i try to open the Audio Control Panel it says i need to connect the headset device. In the device manager it says I have a Unknown Unit.
I have tried to install the headset on my brothers computer also and he got Windows Vista and it wont work there either.
Same goes for the Firmware program, i get a error message that say i need to connect a Creative usb product or something like that. This is really frusterating so I?ll probably send these headphones into the wall soon. Can it happen to be that i have got one of these "monday copy"?
I have got "help" from the Creative Support but their solutions wont work either. My USB connections work perfectly as my keybaord and mouse is USB also and they work on everyone of the 6 USB connections i have on my computer.
Should it be so complicated to get a headset to work which you payed 20euro for ?
Please help anyone who got a clue of what this can be.

Hi,
It sounds like something's wrong with the headset. If you purchased it from your local electronics store, contact them for a replacement. If you purchase this headset direct from Creative, please reply to that email from support and ask for an RMA.

Audio/video out of sync (audio delay) with PowerBeats wireless earphones.

I am having a problem with audio/video sync between my PowerBeats Wireless earphones with my MacPro and MacBookPro. I have tried pairing, playing the video, pausing the video, turning off the PowerBeats, tuning the PowerBeats on, then starting the video playback again. I have the same audio delay so this not working for me. Anyone have an update as to how to fix this audio/video sync problem?

I am playing MPEG-4 movie files. I did open MPlayerX from my dock, then pulled down File to select Open which then did show the folder where these movie files are stored. Then I was able to select a movie file, open it, and use "Decrease Audio Delay" to closely sync the audio with the video. I say closely because it is not perfect. Rather than stepping each increase or decrease in one tenth of a second, perhaps a finer adjustment would have been in milliseconds. This is the adjustment that I have with my AVR to sync the audio with the video, so I know this is a possible increment adjustment. The perfect adjustment was in between -0.4 and -0.5 second,however, this was not possible in one tenth second adjustments. The closest adjustment was with -0.4 second rather than with -0.5 second. So, adjustments in milliseconds could have been very near a perfect sync. Perhaps later versions of MPlayer will offer the adjustment selection in milliseconds. Nevertheless, this is working much, much better than before. Thank you so much. I have spent most of this day researching this problem and you have come up with by far the best solution. This problem goes all the way back to 2010 and possibly beyond for Apple products. There are hundreds of reports documenting out of sync audio/video issues with no solution that works as well as MPlayerX. Even the Beats support staff have no idea of how to resolve the audio/video out of sync.

When I play movies on MPlayerX the audio delays and when on VLC its pixilated?, When I play movies on MPlayerX the audio delays and when on VLC its pixilated?

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

1-2 Second Audio Delay after installing windows 7

I installed windows 7 on monday but whenever i do anything that has audio it is always delayed by -2 seconds.
For example when playing Dragon Age Origins an npc's mouth moves then a second latter the audio finally comes.
When listening to music it isnot that noticable since it is just audio but when i pause or stop it the audio continues for -2 seconds.
When watching videos on Hulu it is the same as games where the voice comes about -2 seconds after the person's mouth moves.
I have everything up to date via the auto updater and checked on here to verify the correct drivers are installed and they are indeed the latest.
Everything worked fine when i had vista but this issue may not be big to some but since i am a big very gamer this is a major problem and if not fixed soon i will remove the card and use the crappy onboard sound.
Any help fixin this issue would be greatly apreciated.
Edit: Forgot to mention that i use the creative sound blaster x-fi titanium card
Edit: I managed to fix it by deleteing EVERYTHING Creative and using ONLY the newest driver from the site, however doing this pretty much makes my card nothing more than a fancy onboard sound card since it doesn't have any of it's features.
The updater doesn't detect my card and when it does and i install anything from the list i get this audio delay issue.

If you are running FCP 4.5 and OSX 10.4.9, >>THIS THREAD<<</a> may be of interest.

Long Audio Delay

I'm running on Mac 10.7.3 using the latest free trial of Adobe Connect.
I'm experiencing very long audio delays (5 seconds or more) when in a meeting room. I've searched the forums and found this Re: Long audio delay By jonturkle, posted Nov 20, 2008 by this doesn't seem to match my situation as I'm not in a hosted environment or behind any firewalls that would restrict ports. (Or at least I don't think anything like this should be going on)
Video streams fine, so it doesn't seem to be a bandwidth problem, just a lag with audio.
Has anyone got any ideas what might be causing this and how it can be fixed?
Thanks
James

By free trial of Adobe Connect, are you talking about Hosted Trial? or did you build a server?
If it's Hosted trial, then you are in a hosted environment.
In the upper right corner of your meeting, see the vertical green bar. Click that - to see your connection /latency.
In the room, choose Meeting / Preferences.
Set your preferences for bandwidth to DSL/Cable
Then run the audio setup wizard.

WoW Headset/Microphone Issue

I have a Wired, not Wireless. The earcup glows work fine for me.
For some reason, any program I want to use the headset with I need to wait to open until the headset is plugged in and registered. This is irritating, at best, because some sounds will transmit through the headset and others won't.
Besides this, it was working relatively fine earlier but when I logged into Ventrilo everything was distorted both coming in and going out. I sound like a Deconstructor to them and they sound like ones to me. I've tried unplugging and replugging, restarting, I will now be working with the drivers if possible.
It seems that every now and then it will also make my sound gritty, like a radio getting interference. Being that this is a Wired set, I find that odd, and I don't have my music blasting - ever.
Is anyone else having these glaring problems? I've only had them for two days and it looks like I'll be more than happy to return them for a refund.

My brother and I both bought the WOW headset. Both of us are having the problem discribed here. It seems very random and intermitent. I will be listening to him and all of a sudden his voice sounds mechanical and very distorted. Its hard to understand what he says. When the headphones work the sound quality is good, but when that happens, it just makes me want to return them. Its SOOOOO frustrating. I can't seem to find a solution to this. PLEASE HELP CREATIVE. I used to have the fatality headset I never had a problem with them. Almost wish i had just bought another pair of them.

WoW Headset Stolen Wireless Receiver

Greetings,
I bought my WoW Headset from Amazon, and i didn't had any problems, but i took them to a convention and somehow my wireless receiver was stolen.
Mailed Creative labs several times, their answer is they don't have parts and can't replace my functioning headset for another for little money, they want me to buy another one.
So, I have a some of questions:
- Is there a way to make them work with the usb cord that is included? I don't mind using them this way.
- Can i use another wireless receiver from another wow headset? If so will someone who something else is not working will sell it to me?
- Can i buy a 3rd part wireless receiver that can work with my headset?
Please help me, I really don't want to buy a whole new headset for something that could be replaced at a lower cost.
Thanks

Turn off the audio delay?

My question is pretty straightforward and simple.
Is there any way that I can turn off the ~2 seconds audio delay from the AirPort Express audio output?
Thanks!

Not really.
iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirTunes to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. For analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
One operational glitch is the fact that, as the AX doesn't have a local clock circuit, when the incoming data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. This is typically "heard" as the delay you are experiencing.

Audio delay when call is answered, CUCM 8.0

I have a client who is reporting an audio delay when a call is made to an external number. Call setup is fine and ringing begins immediately after the last digit is dialed. When the called party answers there's a 1 or 2 second delay before either party can hear each other.
Outbound calls are routed to a SIP trunk. I am suspecting that an MTP is required but checking that off causes all calls to fail.
I then discovered that the only MTP defined in CUCM is the default and this is in a different device pool than the SIP trunk with the delay issue.
Before I got through a possilbe hardware purchase (router, dsps, etc.) for the site with the problem I was hoping someone could confirm that this may in fact be the issue.
Thoughts?

Under older versions of CUCM, you can set that same parameter as a global Service Parameter for the CallManager process.You can try that. Newer versions pushed the setting down to the individual trunk level. Be aware the global setting will affect all calls on all SIP trunks, so test carefully after the change.

Audio Delay In Timeline

Hello Everyone
It's me again still having audio problems. The next problem is there's a audio delay in the timeline, someone is speaking and I can see the video and audio not in sync.
How can I fix this problem?
Thank yoy
Sabrina

First, how are you viewing this? You need to view on an external NTSC monitor or TV at the very least. Viewing on your computer screen may not be accurate.
Is the delay consistent over time, or does audio drift further out of sync over time?
Do you see a red number at the top left of a clip, next to the clip name? If so, control-click on the red number and correct the sync there.
If no red number, it could be something else. What tape format? How was it captured?
