WoW Problem + Mic Problem with X

Ok, I play WoW and now it has a ingame voice over to ues to talk with a mic...the problem is when I select to use the Creative Sound Card for both Sound and Mic the game crashes or gives me really really choppy audio with extremely low Framerates. So I tried to use ventrilo with more sucess but again extremely choppy framerates and audio. Does anyone have any idead what this problem is? I'm using Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeGamer?????? Thanks for your help!

Mute the microphone in the mixer first (you don't need to hear it normally, just record from it), and see if that hel
ps.
Have you tried another mic yet?
Is sound playback okay, or do you experience any static there aswell?

Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation

I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone. Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
However, there is one very annoying problem I am having. When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic. I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
Here are the tests I ran:
Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear. Call result, pretty muffled voice. I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone. This definatelyimproved call quality. Was louder and clearer, but not perfect. I'd rate it at 8/10.
Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic. This was a further improvement in sound quality. Rating would be 9/10.
Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole. Very low volume and muffled sound. Rating a 4/10.
Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic. This gave perfect call quality and volume. Rating a 10/10!
Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone. Call quality was really nice. Id give it 9/10.
Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7. Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand. Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7. Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
Speaker phone on, placed face down on table. Volume a bit low, a little muffled. Call quality 6/10.
Speaker phone on, place face up on table. A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled. Call quality is 5/10.
Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection. It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality. And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good. That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
Is anyone else seeing the same issues? I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give. Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Mic problems with all boards thread! What do we do to fix this or do we need a new boa

I have come the conclusion that this is not just a mic problem but a uni'versal line in problem since several devices can be connected thru my SoundBlaster Li've! 24-bit line in port. I'm assuming its a software problem and it seems to be a common problem. The second possibilty is that part of the board is either defected or assembled incorrectly. Either way everyone seems to have made sure that:
A. there drivers are up to date.
B. they have dissabled any other audio device in windows or in BIOS.
C. there mic won't work no matter what port they attempt.
D. creative software changes of audio devices and mixer still don't change anything.
I came on here for answers yet all i find is questions.
And all seem to be pretty similar. There are many other posts pertaining individual audio cards, yet they all have the same problem. If your having the same problem post here and keep this thread ali've, if you have an answer to your own problems you'd like to share post it here. Hoping for a Creative response to either my post or one of the many other posts on the same subject.Message Edited by syferus on 09-23-2005 0:30 AM

If you have a PCI-GPIB card, you needn't worry about the USB port or whether or not Windows ME supports 1394. All you need in NI-488.2 version 1.70 from National Instruments. Install this driver and then insert your card. Windows should detect the card and find the proper driver.
If this did not happen in the proper sequence, look in the device manager and see if the card was installed as an "other device". If this happens, remove the card in the device manager and have windows redetect it. If this is not a solution, you may consider the ask an engineer page at www.ni.com/ask. Provide as many details as possible.

Audigy 2 ZS/ Teamspeak/ Mic Problems/ SOL

I gather from other posts im not the first and probably not the last to have problems with my SB card and Teamspeak Mic function, after MANY painful hours of reading this forum, downloading drivers, reinstalling software and countless tweaks to my SB mixer and Teamspeak options I finally got my Mic to work right. Hopefully my pain will help someone one else, I was ready to give up on my Mic/SB card ever working right till I stumbled on what appears to be the fix to to Mic problem, I made so many changes I will list them all as Im not sure that it isnt the combination of any or all things that made it work,
My set up, front Mic and Headphone jack on computer,
-Go to SB mixer function, above the first volume knob is a red arrow, click on it, it will say digital only output, SELECT this option, turn volume up
-reading left to right on the middle part of the mixer, turn the function ON the first 3, turn off the the following 3.
- the 6th funtion should be set to microphone, click on red arrow above mic picture and turn on mic boost function.
-Teamspeak setting, go to options screen select "wave" sound, click ok and adjust in and out volumes on settings panel.
This did it for me, I went from no mic, to fuzzy mic, to crystal clear mic after playing with things for 2 days.
I have new faith in my SB card and hope others are smarter than me and figure it out with out all the research good luck.

In the Creative Mixer on the right hand side you should see a separate column with a "Rec" heading. There should be a small upside-down triangle. Click on that and you should get a list. Choose "Analog Mix" which includes Microphone, Line-In, etc. Then to the left, un-mute the source you want.

Happy New Year to all.
I have installed 2 ZS card. Output works well. I want to record a couple of old vinyl albums. I cant either through Creative Surround mixer or through windows get either a Line-in or microphone input to select from. I have tried everything but this forum. If anybody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ipad 2 mic problem

1. My mic just suddenly has gone out of service. Only some scratching sound can be heard during video recording.
2. I bought my iPad 2 in NY, March of 2011 - I am currenlty in Saudi Arabia,
a. Is there any shop that can accommodate me to fix this mic problem?
b. I have got only a scanned copy of the receipt from the Apple Store in Palisades - am I still covered with a warranty using this scanned copy?

Yes, hold a finger longways over most of the nozzle (if you have one) to confine the suction to a specific area. Also, do it for a prolonged period, and gently use a common pin to loosen any foreign matter that my be in it!

Gx 740 Mic Problems

Hi Guys!
I've got a problem with my microphone in my Gx 740. I don't really know when the problem started happening since i never used it before.
But when i get on skype for example people just hear loud noises no clue what is happening.
Does anyone else got this problem or something similar?

You need to separate mic cable with wifi antena. Oryginaly they are situated to close. This is common problem with gx740. Of course it is under lcd panel so you need to dissasembly lcd bezel and remove lcd panel. When you open it you will see what I am talking about.

HT201328 People can`t hear me during calls but i can hear them (probably *not* a mic problem)

I unlocked the iPhone From AT&T, its working well in browsering and i can hear people in calls, but people can`t hear me (even with earphones! it`s not a mic problem!!) help me please..

I had the same problem this morning. I tried reset on phone a few times. Nothing. Then I restored it from iTunes and it worked fine. This has happened to me before -- don't know the root of it, but restoring has worked so far. Good luck.

3GS Speaker Mic problem

I have a mic problem with 3GS 32GB running latest software v3.1.2. It works fine when making calls in standard mode, but the mic does not increase its sensitivity in speaker mode so that people can barely make out my voice. Speech is virtually inaudible speaking at it from just 30cm away. I tested it and there was no difference in mic volume between speaker and standard mode. The mic mesh is clean, and removing the phone cover made no difference, nor did restoring the iPhone or changing the SIM/carrier. I took it to the local Apple retailer and 3 other 3GS phones tested all had the same problem, but a 3G worked fine and calls were easily heard in speaker mode. Is this a problem with all 3GS phones?

I have found it myself. When Skype is running at the back plan, the app is routing sounds to ear speaker. Quitting app, solves the problem. This reply is for whom experience the same problem.

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Why does my iPhone 4 not charge correctly? Problem is definitely with the phone and not charges or chords. Phone will charge but very slowly and no icon comes on. Computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it a being connected.

My iPhone 4 quit charging correctly. It does charge but very slowly and icon doesn't indicate it as charging. I've checked cables and charges and the problem is definetily with the phone. My car stereo no longer recognizes it as a device. Neither does the computer. The real strange thing to me is that when I plug it into my old klispch speaker dock it will play songs. My battery life is good when it is charged so I don't think its the battery. I've tried resetting the phone and cleaning the charging port. I'm out of warranty.
Would disconnecting the battery possibly reset it from some glitch or is the charging port got some bad contacts?

I checked with the Genius Bar. It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me. She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same. She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3. I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

Problem when syncing with MobileMe

I am using iPhone 3G, software 2.1. I use GMail for email (no problems) but my contacts, and only my contacts, sync through MobileMe.
The problem is that with MobileMe active, my Contact list, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings and several other minor features simply do not work - they open, pause for a few seconds, then crash. The Mail application also hangs and crashes every other time I open it.
My local Apple Store restored 2.1, after which my Contact list and Email worked perfectly until I re-activated my MobileMe syncing, after which the problems resumed.
As the problems occurred only after MobileMe syncing is turned on, I assume this is the cause of the problem, but because "Mail, Contacts..." settings crashes every time I open it I cannot disable MobileMe syncing.
Any suggestions please? All help gratefully received...

This was resolved by completely removing the MobileMe account from the iPhone, rebooting it and adding the account again.
