X-fi for notebook won't switch between speakers and headphones

I have a Dell Studio 537 with the x-fi for notebook card. When inserted, I can hear songs through the headphones and the console correctly says 'headphones'. When I remove the headphone jack, the console switches to 'speakers' but I can't hear anything from the speakers. I can plug in headphones, it still says 'speakers' but I can hear the music.
The reverse is true. I can start out with music playing on the speakers and never be able to convert it to headphones without removing the card, closing everything, reinserting. It's a pain.
Is there anything I can do to fix this so I can leave the card in most of the time?
Thanks in advance?

Plug your speakers into the soundcard as usual.
use the front mounted headphone socket on the fromt of the X-Fi I/O unit to connect your headset and set the control panel to automatically mute your speakers when the headset is connected. Your speakers will mute when the headset is plugged in and all you have to do is plug or unplug the headset at the front to switch modes!...Now please do not ask about doing the same with your mike connector!! see other thread by me!! p.s creative do ship a /4" to 3.5mmm adapter with the card.
Hope I have understood your post

  • Bluetooth headphones in 8.1 won't switch between laptop and headphones

    can set speakers or headhones as default but won't swich back and forth when push headphone on off button  worked perfect on old laptop with win7  now running win 8.1 on hp 13 split x2
    turns off headphones totally (need t factory reset) and shuts off music playing until restart

    Hi zimmetp,
    If I understand correctly you have paired a Bluetooth headphone to your notebook and it works fine. The problem arises when you go back to your regular notebook speakers and/or headphones and the sound doesn't work.
    Are you turning off the Bluetooth when you try to go back to regular sound? If the computer still sees a connection to the Bluetooth headphones and they are set to default then it will continue to use those and not the regular ones.
    What is your product number?

  • Switch between speakers and headset on X-

    I've got X-Fi Fatalty FPS edition and desperately need to find a way to switch between headset and speakers. Especially since I use teamspeak a lot in games and don't want my speakers to echo while I'm talking.
    There is an option to mute speakers when the headphone jack is connected, but that requires me to reconnect the headphone plug each time I want to use them.
    There must be a switch to turn only the speakers off manually as well?
    With Soundblaster Li've! Digital, this problem was easily solved by switching between digital mode on and off, as my speakers were connected digitally and my headset on analog.
    But with X-Fi, there's no way to turn off the digital speakers alone.
    Please help.

    Plug your speakers into the soundcard as usual.
    use the front mounted headphone socket on the fromt of the X-Fi I/O unit to connect your headset and set the control panel to automatically mute your speakers when the headset is connected.

  • Sound does not switch between speaker and headphone after audio driver update

    I have a dv9843cl.  I downloaded and installed the latest audio driver (Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, version 6.0.1.5548A).  But the laptop is not able to switch back and forth between laptop audio and headphone audio.  Whenever I plug in my headphone, the sound would play from the laptop instead of the headphone.  I have to manually set the headphone to default in order for it to work.  How do I fix it to make the laptop recognize the headphone for it to switch automatically?  Thanks

    Hi,
    Uninstall Your current audio driver.

  • Can't switch between  fill and outline.

    Here's the problem: I'm on an iMac, new, trying to use illustrator CS5. after using CS3 for a few years. In CS5, if I draw a shape, flat, in the illustration, then try to give it an outline, or change the outline, or do anything with the outline, I can't. If I click on the Shape tools in the toolbox and draw out an oval, for example, I can switch between outline and fill without any problems. Select shape, go to toolbox, select curved arrow for switching from one to the other. That's it. But if I draw a freehand shape, then try it, i can't do it. THIS IS A BIG CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE APP. GET IT? What is the problem? If it's something I have done, fine, tell me and I'll fix it. I tried calling Adobe support in Bangalore, and it took 30 minutes just to get the problem thoroughly appreciated by the techies. They just couldn't get the idea for half an hour! I had to go over it 4 or 5 times. And they couldn't come up with an answer. they were no help at all. I'm hoping the forum will yield better results. This is pathetic, guys. Your 90-day tech support is a worthless piece of crap, guys. The only tech support we have is this catch-as-catch-can forum. I've been using Illustrator since 1987, (illustrator 88) believe it or not, it's true. And I've always been able to get tech support to cure the ills. Not any more. Is that the way Adobe plans to offer tech support? if there were a way to contact Adobe Tech Support by going around Adobe Bangalore, i would use it. But, alas, I am stuck with this.

    Dear Monika and Mylenium: I figured out part of the problem, but not the solution: The shape I had drawn -and coudn't  switch between fil and stroke on-is one I had already done a gradient mesh on, too. I had later abandoned the gradient mesh by using the option key to delete mesh lines, but that didn't take the shape all the way back to its original flat state. So it wasn't a plain drawn shape any more. So how do I release the gradient mesh  to get back to  a flat shape? I'm also having trouble keeping the shapes in RGB or CMYK mode-they keep defaulting back to greyscale. Could that also be a symptom of using gradient mesh? Note: I'm using gradient mesh for the very first time now; I've never used it before. It seems to leave a lot of unexpected baggage behind. I would send a screen shot, but if I start up Grab or Voila, all the AI pallets go away, and that's half the information.  So how do I control gradient mesh?

  • I've noticed this especially when I youtube or video stream for a while. Switching between tabs takes 3-4 seconds. Definitely a memory leak! Is it a general problem or addon specific?

    Also, when I try to close firefox and restart it, the process doesn'y get killed with the normal Command + Q in Mac.
    I need to use Force Quit instead.

    Try updating Flash. You appear to be running an older version dating from September 2010 which might be the cause of the problem. Download from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If the problem persists after updating, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • 7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

    I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
    In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
    I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
    I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
    Bob

    Jochen,
    Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
    My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
    Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

  • When frequently switching between mobile and desktop view

    When I frequently switching between mobile and desktop view I have to open the layers every time since they get closed/collapsed. Adobe may need to fix it for the next version.

    You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.
    By the way, this is the Dreamweaver Application Development forum which deals with questions about using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ColdFusion. General Dreamweaver questions should be posted in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum.
    And while I´m at it: please use descriptive headlines such as "how to switch between Code and Design View" for your posts -- mentioning your screen name "Goula129" is not helpful to other users.

  • How to quickly switch between straight and curly quotes?

    I've recently moved from a Windows XP machine with MS Office to a Mac Pro with Pages.
    For the kinds of documents I typically work on, sometimes I need to have straight quotes, and sometimes curly quotes. With MS Word, I was able to create a couple of macros that would switch these preferences for me. With these macros linked to an icon in the toolbar, switching between straight and curly quotes was as easy as clicking a button.
    Now I'm looking for a way to do this -- or something like it -- with Pages.
    I know how to switch back and forth using the preferences menu, of course, but I'm looking for something quicker and simpler, since I often have to make this change several times a day.
    Can Automator do something like this? Or is there another way?
    -- Eric

    Turn off the auto correction and you can type Curly quotes with:
    left single ‘ option ]
    right single ’ option shift ]
    left double “ option [
    right double ” option shift [
    If you want the French quotes « and » they are option and option shift |

  • Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

    Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

    When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from  Camelotand Matt Clifton
    Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
    That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
    Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

  • JSF / Switch between HTTP and HTTPS

    Hello!
    I want to switch between HTTP and HTTPS using JSF.
    Under Apache Struts framework I can use struts extension "sslext.jar" to configure switching between http and https in one web application.
    e.g. Login-jsp should be secured, all other jsp's should run unsecured.
    Any ideas?
    regards
    Harald.

    Thanks,
    I made the necessary enhancement for the second phase, password confirmation required when return to SSL zone after leaving it after a succesful login.
    I did the following:
    1) create a class in the application scope and/or singleton class with the servlet paths that require SSL
    2) create a plugin that reads ActionConfigs from the ModuleConfig
    3) create a filter that sets a request scope flag that says that password must re-entered.
    Code Extracts:
    1) MainshopContainer application level parameter singleton class:
    private static HashMap sslZoneMap = new HashMap(50); // key = servlet path of request, example /login.do
    public boolean isInSSLZone(String servletPath)
    return this.sslZoneMap.containsKey(servletPath);
    public void addToSSLZone(String servletPath)
    this.sslZoneMap.put(servletPath,null);
    public int getNumberOfActionsInSSLZone()
    return this.sslZoneMap.size();
    2) Struts plugin
    add a call to loadSSLZoneMap in plugin init method:
    loadSSLZoneMap(config, mainshopContainer);
    private void loadSSLZoneMap(ModuleConfig config, MainshopContainer mainshopContainer)
    throws ServletException
    try {       
    ActionConfig[] actionConfigs = config.findActionConfigs();
    for (int i = 0; i < actionConfigs.length; i++)
    if (actionConfigs.getParameter().indexOf("/jsp/account/") < 0) // /account/* = URL path for SSL zone
    // not found = not ssl zone
    System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, following actionConfigs excluded from SSL Zone: "+actionConfigs[i].getPath());
    else
    // found = ssl zone
    String servletPath = actionConfigs[i].getPath()+".do";
    mainshopContainer.addToSSLZone(servletPath);
    System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, following servletPath added to SSL Zone: "+servletPath);
    System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, number of actions in SSL Zone: "+mainshopContainer.getNumberOfActionsInSSLZone());
    catch (Exception ex)
    ex.printStackTrace();
    throw new ServletException("Exception caught in loadSSLZoneMap: "+ex.toString()+" Initialization aborted.",ex);
    3)
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
    throws IOException, ServletException {
    HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
    HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
    String servletPath = req.getServletPath();
    boolean secure= this.mainshopContainer.isInSSLZone(servletPath);
    The wole picture:
    The filter adds a RequestDTO object that includes all request parameters, one of them is the secure flag.
    I have a session scope class UserContainer that includes all the session parameters, one of them is the lastRequestDTO.(last made request)
    At the end of all my jsp's I set the lastRequestDTO variable.
    In that method I set the passwordConfirmationRequired flag if needed:
    public void setLastRequestDTO(RequestDTO _lastRequestDTO)
    if (this.lastRequestDTO != null && this.lastRequestDTO.isSecure() != _lastRequestDTO.isSecure())
    this.setPasswordConfirmationRequired(true);
    this.lastRequestDTO = _lastRequestDTO;
    I read the passwordConfirmationRequired in all my jsp's in the SSL zone that allow editing or deleting and if that flag is true, a valid password must be re-entered in order to make the updates.
    When the password is OK I reset the passwordConfirmationRequired to false.
    I need some help for the first phase, that is SSL setup for all actions related to jsp's with url path /account/*
    I tought I could define it in the web.xml:
    <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>All Account Related Pages</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/account/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <user-data-constraint>
    <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
    </user-data-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    but that doesn't work and finnaly understood why:
    Example: /WEB-INF/jsp/account/login.jsp corresponds to /login.do
    The url pattern /account/* at the container level is never encountered.
    Is it allowed to declare the following action path: /account/login instead of /login?
    If yes I could add following prefix /account to all my action paths and forward paths and this could resolve my problem.
    What's your opinion?
    If no, would your library resolve this?
    Will all the Struts/JSP/JSTL url generating tags pick-up the required protocol (http/https) according to your configuration file?
    Regards

  • Unable to switch between 3g and 4g on my Lucid

    After an update a week or so ago, my LG Lucid has completely lost the functionality of switching between 3g and 4g. As 4g is a battery hog I kept it mostly on 3g (but not always) and since the update , I am stuck on 3g. Took it to the Verizon store for a techie to look at it and he was stumped. I used to access thru "settings" - "about phone" - "network" - "network type and strength" , which brought me to some toggles where I could choose the network best suited to what I was doing. Now this screen is gone completely and only shows signal strength. The techie suggested a factory data reset, which would not only erase all my items from my phone, but if it did provide 4g service, I would now be stuck all the time on that. I told the tech guy I would wait for a fix to this. My question is, are there others out there with this problem or is there a fix for it. I contacted LG and they said they have had no updates to the phone. Is Verizon denying the problem or even working on it ?????

    I have a related issue with my LG Lucid. It tends to get stuck in 3g in areas that I know are 4g. A phone restart usually takes care of it but it sure is a pain to do that. If that fails then a battery remove/replace fixes it. Neither are good options but worth considering while we wait for an update.
    There are several 3g/4g switch free apps available too but none that say they support Lucid. I found that 3G/4G On/Off (Toggle 3G) by JuYeo! Oh works well to turn on 3g when the Lucid doesn't do it but I haven't found a way to turn on 4g.

  • Do I need to reset the router when switching between Win and Mac?

    I just set up my new Mac Pro with OSX 1.5.2 and Win XP using Bootcamp and it all works fine, but I have one question about connecting to the internet.
    I have a Belkin pre-N wireless router. I am connected using an ethernet cable.
    When I switch between OSX and Windows by restarting the computer, is it necessary to restart the router while the computer is off so that when it comes back on it can locate its proper connection?
    When I was working on my old PC and my new Mac Pro, I noticed that if I just took the ethernet cable from the Mac or PC and connected it to the other machine, it couldn't find the internet unless I turned off the router, waited a moment and turned it back on again, connected to the other machine and then started the machine.
    As the two OSs are now in the same machine, will this continue to happen or can I simply switch between operating systems without having to re-initialize the router and connect it before turning on the computer again?
    I haven't tried it yet because I am afraid to screw things up, so I am continuing to turn off, restart the router, re-connect and turn the computer on again. That work perfectly but it is tedious.
    Can anyone please advise on whether this is necessary or not?
    Thanks a lot for any advice.

    Luis:
    You should be able to leave the router on and switch between the two OSes. Try it. Worst thing that can happen is that you would need to restart the router.

    Yes and No. No because it is not supported out-of-the-box by JHeadstart, yes because you can do this post-generation and then move the custom code to JHeadstart templates.
    However, it is not a trivial thing to build, you can try the JDeveloepr forum for any help, we can help you with moving the post-generation code to custom templates, since that is the JHeadstart-related part of your question.

  • Unable to switch between txt and Facebook

    After the 8.1 update I can't switch between txt and Facebook anymore. Not sure if its something I'm doing wrong but I used to have a button in each contact that allowed me to txt them or send it to their Facebook inbox. I no longer have that button, yet I have group set to on. Does anyone know if this was removed with the new update or I'm missing something out. Thanks Donna
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would agree that removing the facebook/social media integration is a definite step back. Microsoft reasons that with the new implementation it will be easier for 3rd part developers to fill this gap, I personally think this was a bad design choice and found that this functionality specifically was great and very useful.
