X-fi extrememusic keeps resetting to 2/2.1 speakers on a restart after vista upgr

I checked the knowledgebase and it said to make sure x-fi is default device and disable other devices, which I have done, but everytime I reboot the settings in audio console keep resetting to 2/2. speaker configuration when I used 5.. If I manually set it, it works until a restart. Using driver package Any ideas?

If you actually performed an upgrade installation of vista from xp i can almost guarantee you nothing will work perfectly as it should. Upgrade installations never work perfectly and tend to lag quickly , i recommend that you perform clean install of vista if you plan on using it for a while. You probably didn't want to hear that but unfortunately thats the way windows has always been.
goodluck

  • Volume resets on both headphones and speakers upon shutdown/restart

    Every single time I shut down my MacBook Pro, it resets the volume to a little over halfway for headphones/external speakers, and halfway for the speakers in the MacBook Pro. I've tried resetting the VRAM and PRAM but I haven't been able to. Every time I hold down the keys it just boots to a normal login window. If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I would be very appreciative.

    Worked beautifully! Thank you very much!!

    Tried it reverting to an older version of Skype.  Didn't work.
    But!  I believe I may have found the solution.
    Here are the steps I took to solve the issue:
    1. Right click on the audio volume control icon -> Playback devices.  The Sound window and Playback tab should be open.
    2. Set Speakers/HP as both the Default Device and the Default Communications Device.
    3. Go to Skype>Tools>Audio Settings.  Set Speakers settings to: Speakers/HP (IDT High Audio Definition CODEC).
    Hopefully this will work for anyone else who has the same or a similar problem.

  • Iphone now it says it needs to be activated and plugged into itunes. It wont let me do anything because it keeps resetting. Help please.

    I cant coonect it to the computer because the iphone keeps resetting itself and the restore or activation cannot be completed. Do I just need to get a new iphone? I have a 3gs and dont want to get a new iphone. Also the iphones sim card wont work and I have tried to do a hard reset mutiple times.

    Sounds like your phone was jailbroken.  If it was, you will need to get another phone.  That phone is permanently disabled.

    it restarts as expected but it doesn't save it........and it continues saying no hard disk detected  low battery even though its connected to psu and say IDE....even though i have sata connectors......
    just as an extra, a small splat of water went on the board i simply wiped it away........(happened before first boot) would this by any chance affect the bios

  • User Settings keep resetting

    I have an I-Mac. I keep using the get Info to set my preferance for opening photos and other items. I find that the computer keeps resetting them to the default settings. For example I want my .jpeg files to open with Adobe Photoshop but they keep resetting to preview. I want certain items to open in Firefox but it keeps resetting to Safari. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You are doing nothing wrong. It sounds like LaunchServices is confused.
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
    Code:
    <pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • Ipod will not charge, keeps resetting, extremely low battery.

    Someone please help!!
    I adore my Ipod, its 2+, it was working fine, till a few months ago.
    In the beginning, it stopped charging on the computer, it synced, but i would have to charge in on a Ipod radio thing first.
    Then after awhile, on the radio, (it worked perfectly at first) the ipod would come up with the message, "This accessory not supported by Ipod", it would still play on it, movies, songs, and charge it, but the message would come up every often.
    Now it refused to be recognized by the radio, and won't charge.
    (yet if you press play the song and movies will play)
    It had very little battery left so i bought a wall charger.
    I tried charging with a wall charger and car charger!
    Now its basically dead, and when i plug it on to the wall charger, the apple logo comes on, and it goes to low battery message, then apple logo..again again.
    It just keeps resetting, so i took it off that.
    Leaving on the charger for awhile won't work, because it just keeps doing that.
    What do i do?
    I can't restore it, because i'd have to charge it first!
    (I got a new battery for it a few weeks ago, the battery life was way better, charged a bit faster, and it seemed to work better, but the computer still drained it)
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Please please please.
    I swear i love it, but i'm going to throw it out the window soon.
    -edit,
    just to add, the first thing that went wrong, that started this thing, was when i got that -48 error, it doesn't do that anymore just to add

    I have the same problem and sent my ipod to a the service center for a battery replacement. I was informed by them first by email that "Our technicians have performed full diagnostic checks on your IPOD 5TH GENERATION and have been unable to reproduce the symptom(s) you reported when you requested the repair. As a result of our tests, we can confirm that your product meets Apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality." then I was told over the phone that they reloaded the software and firmware and that it is working properly and is being sent back to me. Then, and heres the kicker, I received my i pod back with a form stating it was a hardware failure affecting another component. I have since called multiple times and no one can tell me where the hardware failure is but the ipod still says its a battery issue. Go figure i think apple knows exactly what the faulty part is that is causing this error and has no solution short of replacing the unit and they dont want to replace the units of all those with this hardware failure

  • Linksys WRT54GC keeps resetting

    Out of sudden my Linksys wireless router started to reset a few times a day. This results in all customisations being lost and having default SSID without encryption.
    I successfully upgraded the firmware to the latest version 2 build but not change. In the limited logs of the router I don't see anything strange.
    There is no problem with router's functionality, it's just that it keeps resetting and then I have to reconfigure all the previous settings. Importing them is not a long term solution.
    From time to time the Power LED light is orange (this could result in reboots). I have no idea why this problem occurs.
    The user guide says nothing about the orange light ot the power LED. Could be some hardware problem but it is something not persistent.
    Any hints are appreciated.

    Make sure the power adapter is properly connected to the router and to the power outlet. Make sure also it is the correct power adapter for the router. The output of the power adapter should be 3.3 V DC, 2.0 A. If the power adapter is correct, then it could be a possible hardware issue. Make sure the firmware has the version 1.06.1. If it is the latest firmware installed, do a firmware re-flash. It means, you still need to do an upgrade using the same firmware version. After that, do a reset and powercycle the router. After the upgrade process, reconfigure the router.

  • Serious iPod problem (iPod keeps resetting)

    I've had my iPod for almost 2 years and until now everything worked fine. i listen to it on average 1 hr each day, and until 2 days ago battery seemed fine (I would recharge it each week, though it would be only half empty).
    So 2 days ago I was listening to music, tried to go forward and all of a sudden it stopped playing music, it was just frozen. I reset it and it came back with a "sad" iPod icon. Ocassionaly it would end up with the icon as if the battery is dead. I reset it a few more times and mostlt I got the same "sad" icon and only a few times the battery icon.
    I than tried to hook it up to my computer via USB and it would just reset and PC/iTunes would not see it.
    Since I've had it for 2 years I thought maybe the battery has gone bad (but does it happen just like that without any signs?) so I tried to charge itbut when I connect it to charger it keeps resetting.
    I than tried to force it into disc mode and that worked but as soon as I connected it to my computer it would reset. Even when I tried to charge it in disc mode it would reset after a few secunds.
    So, if left alone it is in off mode, but if I push any button it starts up, and eventually shows the sad iPod icon. If plugged into the charger or PC it keeps resetting.
    I have no way to get into it and update the iTunes, or access iPod. Has anyone seen this? Does is sound like a battery or is it something worse? I am out of warranty and would not want to spend too much money fixing it since it probably does not worth much, though i wish I could save my iTunes collection...

    Hey guys, I'm having a similar problem though a slight variation on a theme. maybe you can help me out.
    I have a 4th generation iPod (20 Gig) and it told me my ipod battery had died, so i plugged it into my computer to charge. It started out showing me the large symbol of the battery with the lightening bolt until there was enough to power the iPod so that it could run with iTunes. Except once it finally had enough power and interacted with iTunes it went into a black and white mode instead of the normal color mode and the the battery icon up in the top right corner was black with the lightening bolt. I got the normal "do not disconnect" message except that was black and grey as well.
    I figured i'd update my ipod as it was still charging and added a new playlist and it appeared to take the music, but when I unplugged the ipod it showed me the icon of the folder with the exclamation point and gave me the address http://www.apple.com/support/ipod. Since i didn't have time then i reset it and then plugged it in via a car charger to see if charging it would fix the problem. Unfortunately, when I unplugged it from the computer to take to the car and reset it, it started rebooting over and over. I was able to force it into disc mode so that it would continue to charge without wasting so much battery rebooting (it didn't reboot in disc mode) and continued to work on it when i got home.
    At home i tried every fix they have listed on the site and in my ipod handbook and nothing has worked. I have reset, restored twice, and charged the battery. The weird thing is that it
    1) is recognized by itunes
    2) just turns off if i try to use the charger
    3) appears to be able to download music to it but makes a clicking noise
    4) since it doesn't recognize the charger I can't finish the restore process
    5) still gives me the folder icon when it tries to turn on
    PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!
    If you can think of anything i can do to fix this I will be so appreciative.
    Thanks guys!

  • My Ipod just keeps resetting itself.HELP!!!!

    My 60 GB ipod video just keeps resetting itself. I have tried to reset it and plug it into my computer, what should I do??
    Windows   Windows XP  

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Force an app to close: Hold down the On/Off button for a few seconds until a red slider appears,
    then hold down the Home button until the app quits.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPad - after software upgrade the APN settings keep resetting by themselves. There are multilple accounts of this happening. Please help.

    Hello,
    I have a problem with an iPad 2. After the software upgrade to iOS 5 the APN settings keep resetting all by themselves (I set the APN, I get out of the setting by pressing the back arrow on the top left of the screen, I get back in there and the APN setting is gone). Of course, the internet connection si not working. I've seen other people having the same problem on their iPads after the upgrade.
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

    I too am experiencing this issue - on an iPad 2 using a UK BT DATA plan SIM. This is not an issue with the SIM, as I have tried it in a different iPad and it works without any problems.
    I have also tried all recent iOS updates, hoping it would overcome the issue - but no joy.
    Can we have some assistance from the fine people at Apple please???
    It is getting rather infuriating

  • Why do my itunes podcast settings keep resetting?

    i originally set my itunes to download new podcasts every night at 12:15 am, so i could get news podcasts from the previous day if i missed it, but my download time seems to randomly reset itself to different times of day. sometimes early morning, sometimes mid-afternoon, sometimes in the early evening.
    when i readjust the download time, it randomly resets itself again.
    i know it can reset itself if there's a power outage, but why does it keep resetting itself randomly?

    So after the subscriptions disappeared yesterday, I resubscribed to Democracy Now! and Bill Moyers Journal.
    This morning, I went to check iTunes... and two of the subscriptions were gone -- AGAIN! And the episode of Democracy Now! that remained behind was now listed under real Tim with Bill Maher.
    I'm getting so frustrated with this... why am I having to re-subscribe to podcasts every day now?

  • Why do my sound output settings keep resetting after restart?

    Just bought a MBPro with OS 10.6.4.
    After restarting my sound output settings keep resetting to Soundflower (2ch) from Internal speakers.
    It doesn't take too much to change it, but it is pretty annoying and I'm assuming there's some obscure setting that can fix this.
    Anyone able to help?

    This fixed it on my Mac Pro. It might work on a MacBook Pro.
    Delete these three files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
    /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
    /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
    Reselect whatever sound device you want as your default in the Sound Preference Pane.
    Restart the computer.
