X-Fi platinum - microphone disabled after mode swi

hello, so far everything is been working great with my new sound card. However, I use team speak and Dragon naturally speaking quite often. Everything works great up to the point when I change from entertainment to gaming node or vice versa.
Once I do that, the microphone becomes disabled. I have checked all the settings in control panel and everything is set correctly. My microphone is connected via the connector on the front panel (line in 2/Mic 2).
The only way I have found it the microphone working again after a mode switch is to reboot.
I have searched through the forums and it appears that several other people are having similar problems. Are there any fixes for this problem?
Thanks

Hmm, I will pass on your feedback on this, there was a similar thread on this recently.
Can you just try a full uninstall/reinstall, to be sure? And then update to later drivers after you have tested it, to see if it's the same with both original and updated drivers. Also close down all other programs running in the background (with Ctrl-Alt-Delete). Try recording with just the Windows recorder, in case that makes a difference.
If you get the recording working then I suspect you know exactly where all the settings where (like the mixer settings), so that should all be fine.
Let me know how you get on.

  • Acrobat Reader X Disable Protection mode

    Hi All,
    i need some help with this freaky Acrobat Reader X version.
    We have currently  ~1000 computers with different old versions of AR (form 6 to 9)
    We need to upgrade to 10.0.1 version all PC's
    Will use SCCM for distributing the package.
    OK... everything here seems good but ... a lot of problems and erros appear.
    First we've installed on test group of 10 pc's the AR 10.0.0
    all users start complainig that they can't open the pdf's from our file servers.
    Solution - bring the patch 10.0.1
    After that all users start complaining that they can't print - Windows Error - Acrobat need to be closed !
    Solution - Protection mode disabled.
    My questions :
    1. How can I distribute both the Package of Acrobat and the update together with SCCM
    All my tries and reaings failed !!!
    i've try different methods and no success
    msiexec /i /q \\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" PATCH=\\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\adbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp
    this do not work for me This is in SCCM program
    2. How can i disable through Adobe Wizard the Protection Mode ?
    I know how to do it manually but is not acceptable this way - i can't communicate with 1000 users to do this manually
    I know how to disable it from registry with GPO , but i can't disable it before installation, also i can't disable it on all PC's after installation, because it will take several days to complete for all pc's and this "hole" of some days will stop the work of our end-users.
    Any fresh ideia is wellcome. Also any help
    Thanks

    hey,
    had similar issues with protection mode.
    found we can do it 2 ways, 1. via registry entry, or 2. via an ADM.
    sorry cannot remember the referenced posts for the fixes below...
    we use the adm so that users cannot change it, and so that updates dont reset it.
    note that the adm has only a few settings, and i dont know the code for any other settings.
    1. - REG method:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
    REM: Above line Disables Protected Mode on startup
    2. - ADM Template method
    please note, just copy and paste into a text file and rename as .adm.
    remember that on the last section of the code below, change the "YOUR HEADER HERE" bit to what you want to use to find it in the GPO manager once you add the template.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Ipad disabled after updating to ios 8

    I updated my ipad 2 to ios 8 and it asked for a password, I never had a lock on this device, I guessed the same one I have on my iPhone but that didn't work, now it is completely disabled.   I don't have iTunes and never plugged this iPad into a computer.
    Everything is pointing now to losing all my data, but I cannot!! there are pictures of my best friend that passed away in January, I cannot lose those!  I see lots of people are having this problem  PLEASE help me get my pictures. They are very dear to me.

    MeganTD,
    I completely understand how you feel.  This has happened to me as well when I updated to IOS 8 when it first came out and now I can't get into my Ipad.  The difference is that I actually had a passcode on it and just typed it in just like the million other times I did and it says that the passcode was "wrong."  I thought it was just a mistake so I did it again and it said it was "wrong again, please try in 15 minutes."  This went on for about a day and when I tried to login again with the passcode it completely locked me out to where it says to "connect to itunes" which I did but the Ipad doesn't show up unless I put it into recovery mode, which doesn't help either because I don't want to restore my Ipad until I back it up first. 
    I even took it to the apple store to the genius bar and explained my situation and they couldn't even help me, saying that unless you have a backup on your computer there is no way to recover your data on your ipad before restoring it.  I thought that was completely ridiculous that it wasn't my fault that the Ipad is disabled after updating to IOS 8 and that there is absolutely NO WAY of recovering your data.  I even asked if there was 3rd party software that could backup the ipad before recovering and they couldn't give me that information either. 
    I have been looking all around the internet for a solution but to no avail.  I hope there is some information out there that can help us because there has to be SOME WAY that you can get into your ipad and backup without having to rely just on itunes and icloud.

  • Old X-Fi Platinum unrecognized even after installing drivers

    Old X-Fi Platinum unrecognized even after installing drivers? I've got an old X-Fi Platinum card I bought more than 2 years ago (Model SB0460). When I first installed it a couple years ago (on Windows XP), it worked fine for a few months, then I started having issues about every 5th bootup where the card wasn't recognized. Simply restarting the computer would usually work. But after awhile, it finally quit being recognized. I thought maybe it was a problem with the drivers, which were old and buggy, so I took the card out and shelved it for a year and a half. I re-installed it today using the new drivers (2.8.0008), and everything installs fine until I reboot. Then I get the same old "Found new Hardware: Multimedia Audio Controller" popup every time, and the X-Fi drivers (that were there before the reboot) are nowhere to be found in the device manager list. ?
    Is this a hardware problem or a software problem? This is a fairly new XP installation, and I spent weeks doing new installs and reformats a couple years ago when I had the original problem and that never helped, so I'm thinking it must be either the card is dead or a hardware conflict. FWIW, I'm using a Dell XPS 40 with the onboard audio disabled in the bios. Thanks.

    I have the same problem! Running 32-bit XP SP2, Core 2 Duo with ASUS P5B Deluxe, with a MIDI keyboard plugged into the Li'veDri've of my X-Fi Platinum. Driver version 5.2.6.87 from 8/7/2006. Everything else on my computer works after I come back from standby, but not MIDI input. Most infuriating. The worst part is I know this will never be fixed...

    You need to place the device in recovery mode ...
    f you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.

    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present

  • Disable clamshell mode via Terminal

    Hi everyone.
    Is there any way to disable "clamshell mode" and avoid my MacBook Pro waking up seconds after I close the lid?. I always use my MBP17 with a magic mouse, usb hub, external monitor and plugged magsafe but using both screens at the same time. I just would like to close the lid and enter sleep mode while I go away from my mac for five minutes without having to unmount drives, unplug magsafe and turn off mouse. It's crazy!!. I still can't believe there is no preference for that.
    I know thats the wanted behaviour for using the external display with the macbook screen off but I just wanna send my mac to sleep for God sake!!
    Thanks in advance and excuse my poor english.

    Your English is much better than that of some native English speakers who post here.
    Your MBP's waking up immediately after being closed, without your doing something to cause it, is *not a feature of clamshell mode.* In clamshell mode, the expected behavior is that the machine will sleep when the display is closed, and you will then wake it and bring the external display into operation *by pressing a key on the external keyboard.* If you don't do that, it stays asleep. So clamshell mode doesn't need to be disabled to stop the behavior that's annoying you, because that behavior has nothing to do with clamshell mode.
    Instead, you need to determine which of the devices you are using with the MBP is interrupting sleep. This is nearly always caused by a USB device that doesn't understand sleep, and tries to communicate with the computer while it sleeps — which causes it to wake up. It may be your keyboard, your mouse, an external drive, a printer, scanner, ExpressCard device, Bluetooth cell phone, or even an SD card in the built-in card reader, if you have one. So first turn Bluetooth off and close the display to test for a change in behavior. If the MBP still wakes up a minute later, that wasn't the culprit. Disconnect your other peripheral devices one at a time, testing again after each disconnection, until you discover which device is responsible.

  • HT1212 My ipad was disabled after trying to unlock. I forgot my password, can you help me please

    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - entering wrong codes results in progressively longer lockout times until device must be restored completely.

  • HT1430 my daughter's ipod has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts. The ipod was not synced to a computer. How can we get it started?

    My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
    The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
    How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Disable "Safe Mode with Networking in Windows 7"

    Hello,
    Does anyone know, how to disable "Safe Mode With Networking" option from Windows 7 boot menu?
    Kind Regards

    Hi,
    Base on my research, there’s no official method to disable Safe Mode with networking in Windows 7.
    Thank you for your understanding.

    Thank You .This is what I was afraid.
    I work  at school and We have one problematic classroom. It's http traffic is blocked by a FSecure's firewall, but students have figured out a way. They boot computers to safe mode with networking and after that
    they have access to the Internet! Now We have to change Microsofts's own firewall.

    Please use the article that I've linked to you.  That's how you resolve your issue.

    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    When you set up a passcode to secure the use of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and then enter the wrong passcode, you may see a a message saying your device is "disabled". Learn what to do if you have forgotten or can't remember your passcode, or if your device displays a message saying it is disabled.
    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
    iPhone is disabled
    iPad is disabled
    iPod touch is disabled
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
