XFi Fatality - possible fault. Screeches and p

Hi,
I have a Fatality Pro which most of the time works well, but at random times (can be during games or just whilst using windows) starts to screech and whistle. It sounds like a radio being tuned in. This is under Vista Ultimate with all updates applied and latest drivers. Xfi software from Creative Vista CD and updated. Everything used to work fine under XP MCE so i thought i'd dual boot but the same thing happens with XP now. The only hardware thats changed as far as XP is concerned is my graphics card - going from Nvidia 6600 to ATi 950 Pro AGP versions. Could this indicate a fault with my card?(Full spec:? Asus P4C800 Deluxe mobo, P4 3.06GHz, 2GB RAM, ATI 950 Pro 52MB AGP, Hauppage WinTV Nova 500, XFi Fatalty Pro)?Any ideas/suggestions greatly apreciated. Thanks,?Colin?Have also discovered that as the screeches get louder, CPU useage climbs to a maximum, and the pc becomes unresponsi've. Then there is a whooshy pop sound causing CPU use to drop to nothing and the sounds stop!? All very weird and irritatingMessage Edited by gryphon2 on 07-4-20070:23 PM

Ive got the same problem with my Extreme Gamer, as covered in another post. Creative has been unable to help me, seems they just think" sucks to be you, haha!". Suggestions have come that it might be an issue with X-Fi and AGP cards, or with Asus motherboards. My problem happens mostly when i have had, or having some kind of music player (Winamp, WMP or so) running. But so far nothing has helped. Replace motherboard or ditch the card maybe?Regards,Z

SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7

5SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7z Ok sorry if this hasbeen covered before but I searched and couldn't find it so here goes:
I have a two month old XFI FATALTY TITANIUM CARD WITH THE FRONT PANEL BREAKOUT BOX.
It showed up staright away as a hi fi device and the optical output when selected works ok I dunno about surround sound it simply plays great stereo through my Arcam DAC connected up to my stereo.
Problems began when I decided to install the Creative Software. What happens i sit plays for maybe o mins then mutes also I primarily use i tunes and it wont play anything until a few seconds after the music starts.
This is just on optical out if I use standard phono to 3.5mm jack its fine.
What puzzles me is why this happens when using the creative software ? Reverting back to the pre creative software it plays fine I would just like to take advantage of the various functions suplied with creative software?
Any ideas please. FWIW I Completely deinstalled the card and installed? abasic CMI 8738 card and that does the same so maybe its windows 7
Oh spec wise Windows 7 32 bit
4GB RAM
Asus MOBO

Weird... I changed nothing and yeterday it worked...
I just understand this, but what the hell?

Web videos cause XFi Screeching and don't p

Hi,?Don't know if this an X-Fi issue or not but I am unable to watch online videos (whether QuickTime,? Flash, etc). The video loads but all the while i get the incessant screeching and popping suffered by so many X-Fi users (myself included when trying to play music). Once the video has loaded it fails to play at all, sometimes I can be lucky and get a few sconds of it but then it freezes and refuses to play any further. I have recently dumped Vista and reinstalled Win XP Media Centre because I used to get no problems in that before - with Vista I had screeching/popping in games and music, and 00% CPU usage causing sounds to be delayed by minutes. Now I'm having the same problems with XP.
I have had my X-Fi Fatality Champion swapped under guarantee in the past because of the screeching, but that made no difference. Any ideas??Colin?Specs:? P4 3.06GHZ, 2GB RAM, Asus P4C800 Deluxe mobo, X-Fi Fatality Champion, Sapphire ATI 950 Pro AGP? (all drivers to current releases, updates to Windows etc)

There shouldn't be any "steps" if you've downloaded and run the DMG installer because it's a complete installer and either runs or doesn't in my experience. I've run into the Step 3 failure myself but only when the download and installation is being done through Adobe's Get Flash Player website, which using the DMG file avoids. You do need to have all browsers and System Preferences closed when you run it though. And you can delete all the other Flash downloads.

Problem with drivers/ sound stopping / vista32bit/ xfi fatal

i have an xfi fatality, installed the latest drivers and since then, sound will stop at random times usually happens when i am pausing something on media player (videos) and it might come back when i reopen the video
sometimes i will watch a video on firefox, and i might not get any sounds at all (sounds completely stop, not only per application)
sound will come back, on its own, at random times. some times i need to restart
i uninstalled the audio console, uninstalled the driver from system, and installed the previous version and i am still getting this problem (i wasnt getting it before)

Xfi fatality. sound problems with other devi

hello all. just recently bought a xfi fatality card,and im trying to connect it to my xbox 360 to get sound, and thats when the problems start.i have a optical cable from my xbox 360 connector to the optical in on my fatality front panel and some headphones connected to the headphone jack, but i get no sound at all. i have also tried the rca inputs on the front panel but no sound there either.tried to hook up a dvd player to just to test it, but like always no sound. its not my xbox thats faulty?as i've tested it on my stereo. could someone please help me im at a loss and dont know what to do.i've tried to change stuff in console but to no use. thanks for your help and?replys paperman?ps have searched the forum but no luck?

I had this problem to begin with, its just because as default the SPDIF in is muted. If you open the launcher in entertainment mode go to the option where you can the volume to each kind of audio and at the top of the volume slider on some of the devices there is an arrow pointing down. Click on this and choose SPDIF and then unmute it. I'm having a further problem now though as i've got the sound playing from my PS2 but i cant get 5. from it on DVD videos only stereo, any ideas?

A fatal error has occurred and the application is being terminated. Adobe Captivate has tried to save all your work in the respective project folders as ".cpbackup" files. Please restart Adobe Captivate.

I was trying to capture a simulation when a pop-up window came with this error:
"A fatal error has occurred and the application is being terminated. Adobe Captivate has tried to save all your work in the respective project folders as ".cpbackup" files.Please restart Adobe Captivate."
I tried every possible solution but i am getting the same error. Even now, i am not able to open a blank project. I cleared Preferences and Cache, Restarted the system, uninstalled and re-installed captivate but the error occurs.
Please help.

Having admin rights is not the same as 'Run Captivate as administrator'. For the last, right-click on the start icon for Captivate and check 'Run as administrator'. Or click on Advanced, where you can check the option to always run as administrator.
Another possibility could be a corrupt font somewhere. I forgot to ask which version you are using (exact number).

Breakout box + XFI Fatality

B Hi there, i have an XFI Fatality Pro sound card. The card is fine on its own. I have acquired a breakoutbox which i think is from the elite pro, has the model SB050 on the bottom...
Now using the AD LINK cable i connected it to my sound card, as soon as i do this i get loud static noise untill i either mute sound or remove the AD LINK cable. I've tried individually muting all inputs and outputs on my volume panel but only muting all sound stops the noise...
Am i simply not able to use this breakout box with my Fatality sound card? Or are there drivers i should install to enable the breakout box functionality?
Forgot to mention im on Vista 64, core2duoMessage Edited by Creomortis on 05-5-2009 04:40 PMMessage Edited by Creomortis on 05-5-2009 04:4 [email protected]

to the best of my understanding *(only from past experience, I dont have one of these)* the two are not compatible. The Breakout box you are talking about is for an elite pro, while the Fatality connects only to an i/o dri've or li've dri've as it used to be called. you may have mistakenly connected the breakout box to the MIDI connector/joystick port on the back of the sound card.

XFI Fatality Gamer + GigaWorks S750 + Decoder DDTS-

Dear Sir,
Im using XFI Fatality Gamer + GigaWorks S750 + Decoder DDTS-00 ( just bought it ) and the question is I feel no difference ( Dolby Digital and DTS Effect ) when I'm not using the Decoder.
What I've done is I already :
Connect cable from my soundcard to switch box and then another cable I connect it from my Gigaworks to switch Box. And then from the switch box it self I connect it into the decoder. All the cable im using is the standard from Creative. I haven't used any coax or optical cable.
Looking forward and really appreciated for the assistance.
Many Thanks.

To connect your Soundblaster NX to your DDTS-100 decoder, and let the decoder handle the DD/DTS decoding, you have to connect a digital/optical/coax cable, from the digital output of the NX, to one of the digital inputs on the decoder.. Also make sure you have set the settings on the souncard, to "digital output only", so that the decoder can decode the encoded digital streams, sendt by the soundcard..
if you want to connect your soundcard to the decoder via analog cables, and let the soundcard do the decoding it self, you will need to use a 7.1 analog-audio cable, that comes with both the decoder and the speaker system. Connect the audio cable from the analog output on the soundcard, to the input "switch-box", and set the switch-box to "PC-audio". Also make sure you have connected your speakers to the "switch-box".

I have an external hard drive, from Iomega. However, I cannot copy or save any file to it. On my PC it says that is possible to read and write in it, but in my Mac, it says I can only read. can somebody help me?

I have an external hard drive, from Iomega. that I can open and see my files. However, I cannot copy or save any file to it. On my PC I have it says that is possible to read and write in it, but in my Mac, it says I can only read. can somebody help me?
Also, Im a photographer, so I like to name a lot of files at the same time (used to do in on PC and it was very usefull.) cannot find out how to do it on my Mac. Really appretiate if some one can give me a solution! Thanx

Your drive is formatted with the NTFS file system. OS X can read but not write to the NTFS file system. There are third party drivers available that claim to add the ability to OS X to write to an NTFS partition. I have not tried them and don't know if they work.
The only file system that OS X and Windows can both write to natively is the FAT32 file system.

Fatal Error has occured and the application is being terminated

It seems that Captivate is eating my projects. I've started my second project (after completing my first without any errors) and I'm constintly getting corrupted files. It set me back at least a few hours worth of work. So I started creating backup files every 10mins, regardless of how much work i've done. Everything was going fine, until I took an hour break and went to resume my work.
When I try to open my file I get the following pop up message when trying to open my file: "Adobe Captivate - A fatal error has occured and the application is being terminated. Adobe Captivate has tried to save all your work in the respective project folder as .cpbackup files. Please restart Adobe Captivate."
I can click on the program workspace and not click ok on the error message to keep the file open. I see my slides and objects, but all the text is missing.
I'm using Captivate 5.5 and windows 7 64. Within Captivate, I'm using standard objects with importing MP3 audio files and some Photoshop images. I have a total of 4 slides with 1 being 3.5mins long and the rest are less than 1min.
When I first started having this problem, I thought maybe the variable files were corrupte so I deleted the Users/name/appdata/local/adobe/Captivate5.5 directory to see if that was the issue. That was before this last stint of errors.
I tried opening a backup that was like 10 saves ago, but it displays the same message.
I'm not sure what to do next.

We have the exact same problem.Renaming the backup file per this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4055726 didn't work. I can open the file and see the text boxes even though they're now showing as empty. Is there any way to recover the file?
Yes, we were using a network drive but now we've switched to locally stored content.

Is it possible to create and process PO with the line without value?

Hi,
I am wondering whether is it possible to create and process the PO with the lines without the value?
I was thinking that this process would allow me to better track and understand the pallets which arrive to the site so I have set up the pallet as a material but systems doesn't allow me to order the line (pallet) without value?
Or maybe there is other way which will allow me to track the pallets within the system?
Many thanks,
Sylwia

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X

Subject:        Is it possible to create and save a .PDF
without any compression to the resulting .PDF?
You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.
