X-Fi ExtremeMusic stops working upon rebo

I've had the above soundcard for about a year with no problems. Now...everytime I reboot my system there are 'No Audio Devices'. Sound won't work and I am required to reinstall the drivers in order to restore audio. Before rebooting, after driver installation, I have sound. But upon reboot, the audio is disabled once again. Any thoughts? I recently swapped out an old power supply unit, but I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with software and drivers for a soundcard.
Thanks.

You can try this. Follow the steps in this Knowledgebase article SID72 to uninstall the driver and software. When you have finish uninstallation process, shutdown the computer instead of rebooting. Remove the sound card from the computer PCI slot and boot up the computer. Let Windows finish loading and register that there's no sound card and then have it shutdown. Slot back the sound card to the same PCI slot and bootup the computer follow by the standard installation from the soundcard CD.

  • Need advice - "Adobe photoshop CS5 has stopped working" upon startup

    Hi All,
    Hopefully someone can assist me with this as this seems to be a fairly common problem.
    Basically, upon starting up PS it comes up with the error message:
    "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working..."
    I'm just working off a surface pro 2 with 256gb ram, i5 processor (I think)
    I’ve installed no new drivers of late and not undertaken any system changes that I can think of that would affect the program.
    Funnily enough it’s the same problem across all the adobe suite e.g. illustrator and indesign both won’t start up (illustrator has the same message whereas indesign’s error message mentions that it requires a certain amount of free disk space).
    Hopefully that is enough info. Please ask if there is anything else that you would need to know in order to ascertain the problem.
    For reference here is the excerpt from the windows error log:
    Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 12.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4bbc5b10

    Fingers crossed someone can help as I’m at the end of my wits here (my laptop died recently leaving me my tablet to finish some artwork for a deadline and now PS etc won’t work leaving me with nothing!).
    Cheers
    Scott

    My scenario and history:
    Windows Vista Ultimate and now Windows 7 Ultimate
    NVidia Quadro Fx 4500 driving 4 monitors total SLi on or off - makes no difference.  Drivers irrelevant.
    2 x Xeon 5160 (so total 4 cores)
    24Gb RAM
    PS CS 4 or 5
    4 monitors - - yep it is the 4 monitor thing.
    Fails everytime as you describe.
    Observation - If you Remote Desktop Connection onto the computer - and so in effect are using only ONE monitor - PS works fine.
    A WORKAROUND for 4 or 5 - I don't consider this a fix because you lose some functionality but it gets you 99% there and is the same workaround for CS4 or 5
    Go to<drive>:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64bit)\Plug-ins\Extensions\    (or CS4 - depending on version)
    Locate File:
    ScriptingSupport.8li
    Disable this extension by renaming the file with a tilde in front of the file name.  Thus:
    ~ScriptingSupport.8li
    Start Photoshop - it works and is mainly functional.
    The only real downside I have discovered is that disabling this scripting extension means you cannot use some of the built in scripts under FILE - SCRIPTS - the biggest PIA for me being the Contact Sheet builder no longer works.  But as I now use Lightroom to create contact sheets - this is not a big loss.  Other scripting functionality - I am sure is affected - but not to a point I find PS unusable.
    ADOBE - if you read this - it has been that extesion now for the last two editions of PS.

  • "firefox has stopped working" upon startup

    Few seconds upon start-up, Firefox greys out and the message "firefox has stopped working" appears leaving me with only the option of closing it. I've tried resetting firefox to default state and safe mode with add-on disabled etc but so far the only reliable method I've found is to reinstall it every time, however this only guarantees one use as once I've closed the browser the same problem re-occurs. The only major action I've performed may have been accidentally removing youtube(which contributed to a major portion of my browsing history) from the browsing history after which caused Firefox to lag/freeze and crash and hence my problem began. I tried the profile manager but that crashes on start up as well.
    I'm on Windows 7 & Firefox 14.0.1

  • HP Pavilion dv6 audio stops working upon inserting headphone

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC with Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 installed. Almost every time that I insert a headphone into either of the two headphone jacks the audio stops functioning and this issue continues even after I remove the headphone from the headphone jack. As a result when I want to play an audio on my laptop I get an error that there is a problem with the driver/sound device. I have the latest IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver installed, i.e. sp59542 ver. 6.10.6381.0. Occasionaly, disabling and enabling, or uninstalling and reinstalling the audio driver would resolve the issue but the problem would happen again upon connecting a headphone to my laptop. I have used two different headphones (differen brands) and the problem continues. From the searches I have done this seems to be a hardware issue and something related to the on/off switch in the headphone jack so I was wondering if HP is aware of this and whether any recall has been made. It looks like there are different symptoms associated with this hardware issue. Any help with fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi HP-User22,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv6 and audio stops working when inserting headphone. Here is a link to update the BIOS.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Have you tried to run a hardware test? Here is a link to do a hardware test. This will test all hardware functions.

  • Illustrator CS6 stopped working upon opening

    Just over a month ago I had installed the trial version of Illustrator CS6 to try it out. I had also done the same with PS CS6.
    I decided to buy and so bought the whole Web and Design collection. After ordering it I decided to remove the old trials to ensure a simpler installation of the whole package. So I uninstalled these the other day using the Program add/delete in the Control Panel and then deleted the folders that contained Adobe products except for my Adobe reader etc.
    I had a few issues with Flash player after and a script in Word so I restored my computer to an earlier date and then just removed the bare minimum.
    Now I have just installed the new package and everything works fine. Serial number, then logging in with Adobe ID then installing.
    The issue is if I open Illustrator it opens but within seconds blanks out and a window pops up saying it has stopped working. I hoped that I could go into the Computer's add/remove to see if I could fix but none of the new programs are even listed.
    I need to get some graphics done and really need to be able to open Illustrator ASAP.
    If it helps, the exe file is in the support file folder which I did not know it should be in.  Is there a way of fixing this easily? Like a fix program that could diagnose the issue?
    Thank you to anyone who can help me.
    Please note, all the other programmes open: PS, Fireworks, Dreamweaver. However Bridge also doesn't.
    I also tried running as administrator and this doesn't help.
    Rachel
    Just an afterthought. Could I uninstall and then reinstall? As it is on the same computer I assume Adobe would know that I wasn't trying to use the serial number a second time on someone else's computer. I just don't know what else to do. The live chat is not available until Monday and I really need to use Illustrator over the weekend to prepare a design for a client.

    I am sorry, Windows 7, x64.
    I ended up taking the trial download of Illustrator out of my recycle bin and reinstalling only that. It opened. However I clicked quickly on file before it had a chance to close as I read somewhere that can break the glitch. Right now I am not going to close it until I finish the work just in case.
    I checked the Event Viewer but it did not give a reason.
    Thanks. Sorry about the short sight. I was a little panicked due to worrying about not being able to get the project done that I wasn't as informative as I usually am.

  • Troubleshooting Photoshop, program stopped working upon opening

    I am new to the whole creative cloud membership and I have recently downloaded PhotoshopCC 2014. It opens fine but then a window pops up and says the program has stopped working.

I have already tried restarting my computer, verifying my emails for my membership accounts and making sure I had all the plug ins I needed. I use Windows 8.

    I fixed it. It turns out I did have to do some stuff to my computer I had

  • ITunes has stopped working upon opening Windows 8.1

    I uninstalled and reinstalled my iTunes and it wont open.....Help??

    Can you open iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes)?
    If so go to Edit > Preferences > Store and turn off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    Also go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Cache.
    And for good measure sign out of the iTunes Store.
    You may find iTunes will now start normally.
