X-fi XtremeMusic makes ugly noise first, then turn off

Hey, I bought a XtremeMusic just some days ago and tried to install it. First question I had, was, if the card needs an extra current entry because in the manual is written, that I only need it for a E/A console, which I don't got.
So I just connected the PCI Slot and started the PC. I didn't have to deactivate the Onboardsound because I got another Soundcard before. So I just installed the drivers. (I got to say here, that I connected the card analog with my z5500 5. system)
First, anything I got was high peep tone - then I heard nothing. So I looked through the settings - everything was okay here. I visited the official homepage and loaded the newest drivers. After some reboots the card actually worked - for a day.
Today I wanted to test the headphonefunction of the card. I switched the card to headphones and put it in the green box. What I got was a feep-tone again. So I tested the headset with my mp3-player and it worked. So it's the soundcard again, making ugly noises.
But when I wanted to get the sound back to 5. - the tone remains. After a short time, the sound disappered fully. The strange thing is, that I can't really play music. When I play a song in Foobar, it can't start. Same in Youtube, it stocks after 3 seconds. Just the WMP plays songs - without sound.
I don't know what to do know because all the links in the stickies don't work. Please give me an advice howto clean all drivers to install them again. (And of course give me further information - If you know the problem)?

I may have misunderstood what you meant, but when I reinstall again over top of the existing drivers, the add new hardware wizard never even pops up. I only get that when I do a fresh install.. And in that case I ordinarily do select cancel..
Also, it turns out that I get these same errors when installing almost any Creative application or driver..Message Edited by PONCHO2 on 08-24-2008 03:06 PM

Imac makes fan noise when it turns off or goes to sleep

Hello,
I bought a new iMac from bestbuy during the last week of april 2013.
Recently when I turn the iMac off or put it to sleep, it begins to make a loud fan noise at the back above the place where the power goes into the iMac. However, the moment I turn on the computer the sound goes away.
I left the iMac on for a few hours thinking the noise will go away on its own but it didnt. Now I always have to turn off the iMac and take the power out of the wall in order for it to not make noise.
Does anyone know what I can do to solve my problem? I have tried the SMC reset and the Pram reset however it does not seem to do the trick for me.

I would recommend resetting the SMC at least 3x back to back, sometimes it does not work the first time. If you don't know how please navigate to https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603 for detailed instructions. If that does not help, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone coverage or if you already bought AppleCare (VERY STONGLY RECOMMENDED) this will extend your 1 year warranty to 3 years and includes 3 years of phone support. If you are in the USA you can buy it from B&H Photo for as little as $122 vs. at BBY or Apple for $169.

When listening to nano 6th gen with dock the audio book will make beeping noises and then switch to a song.

While listening to my 6th gen nano on a JBL dock the audio book will make beep noises and then swith to a song on my nano. Any idea? Thanks.

I saw your other post, but thought I would reply here as well. It is all about getting that headset seated all the way. If you can see any silver of the plug, it is not in far enough. Push harder. If it just won't go in, look in there to see if it is blocked. The bottom of the headset port is white, so if it appears all dark at the bottom... something is in there.

It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else. Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

Works normally from here ^
then it turns like this (with BEEEEEP noise)
^ Like that my screen is bright on one part of the screen and the other part is dark. It also makes this beeeeeeep noise. after this, screen turns black.
My computer is ON and running though. It's just the monitor that goes off.
Any way to see what is making this problem?
Thanks. By the way, I've already done the manufacture reset. It's obviously a hardware issue.
I'm so dissapointed with HP products.
It's been 2 1/2 years since I bought this computer and it failed TWICE already.
One time Hard drive failed, now my monitor goes black like this. -_-

IPhone 5 won't stay on after being charged. It is stuck at the apple logo then turns off after 30 second.

The phone has been fully charged, software OS 8.1.1 lots of storage and fully operational. Any ideas.

I understand what you are trying to say, but the device is not fully operational, or you wouldn't be here. Does the device go to logo, then turn off, then go to logo again? If not, then you need to first try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If that does not help, then restore from backup. If the restore from backup is not successful, then restore as new, not from a backup. If the restore from new is not successful, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple store or Authorized Apple Service provider, depending on your location and have the hardware checked. You might also want to take a look at this link and see if your iPhone 5 qualifies for the battery replacement program. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/ Go to that site and enter your serial number. If you have trouble restoring, see this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Mac book starts to boot, then turns off

I have Mac Book Pro (13", Yr2011) which will not boot. It has a 1TB HD which has been partitioned for Mt Lion (primary) and Snow Leopard. The computer has worked fine in this configuration. For about 6 wks, the computer was not used and apparently the battery charge depleted to zero. When an attempt was made to use the computer with battery only, the screen was just light gray with a circular wait icon. After several minutes with no change, the battery was noted to be discharged. A charger was connected, but there was no change in the screen. The computer was then turned off and left to fully charge. On first attempt to turn on, the computer did come to life. However, when attempting to Update software, it displayed No Internect connection - even though it was connected by ethernet. The computer was power cycled, however the screen then again only showed light gray with wait icon. Now when attempting to boot, the screen shows light gray, circular wait icon & horizontal bar graph indicating something is loading. After about several minutes, the bar graph fills & disappears, however, the screen remains light gray with wait icon - indefinitely. On a few attempts, the computer and screen simply turned off after about 30secs.
If I hold the Option key while powering on, then the Mac does boot ok to Snow Leopard. Apparently, the Mt Lion side of the HD was corrupted during the low battery boot appempt. The last time I backup MtLion was several months ago, so if I prefer not to reformat and reload from scratch.
Since the Mac did boot up once, I'm wondering if there is a way to recover without having to reformat and start again.

Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).

My ipad is flat and when I plug it in to charge it just repeatedly turns on and then turns off but isn't charging. I tried to plug into itunes but it just goes through the same ritual and can't maintain connection to itunes. What should I do ?

1. Reset iPad
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

New shuffle plays for about 15 seconds and then turns off even through it's charged

brand new shuffle plays for about 15 seconds and then turns off even through it's charged. 3rd one I've had that does this

Double check to make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning no silver can still be seen from the headphone's plug.

Apple logo then turns off

hi, when i turn my phone on it just shows the apple logo then turns off please help!

Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
If you try this three or four times without success, it's time to make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have your device evaluated by the techs.

when i turn on my computer it stays on the grey screen and then turns off by itself. How can I fix that?

Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Hold alt or option key at bootup, do asny boot choices show up?

Imac screen image size fluctuates then turns off

imac screen image size fluctuates then turns off. I have an Imac G3 (slot drive/Grape). It is running on OS 9.2 and I believe has 288 MB Ram.It started acting very odd yesterday. First, I noticed that the image on the screen had shrunken in on the sides and was elongated up and down. I restarted and when it came up the image still wasn't right, but it wasn't as out of proportion. I ran norton and first aid which both said everything was fine. By this time the image had stretched out to its normal size. I printed a couple of things and shut it down. This morning I started it up to have a look and the image was all shrunken and stretched again. The image started pulsating then the mac shut off. A few minutes later it started up again on its own so I turned it off. Until yesterday my Mac had been working just fine. Any ideas about what this is or what to do about it? Thanks for the help.
Charlotte

The fact that it is starting up on its own either means that it is scheduled to, or that there is some problem with the power supply, which as far as I can tell, would cause the monitor to do that.
