Xi-fi problem with Vista, loss of sound and a whis

Hello,I have a Xi-fi extreme Gamer, and Windows vista 32 bitWith many games, just to say one Overlord, but also with Gta S.Andreas, Teamfortress 2, Never Witner Night 2.. you name it, suddenly i lose all audio that is repleaced by a loud whistle, the whistle don't stop even if i quit the game and return to the OS. The only way to stop the whistle is to restart the PC. I tried to disable many options in the audio console but the problem return, with the last drivers i can't play Overlord for more than 4 minutes, then all i get from the audio is the whistle. Anyone have a suggestion to solve this problem?Thank you very much.

there seems to be lot of us having issues with sound falling off and odd noises.
We all seem to get the same reply from creative as well.. silence.
The only fix that works for some and not all is to go to the sound properties ( right click the volume, select playback devices, right click the speaker icon, select properties, select advanced )
And Turn down the sound quality from DVD quality to CD.
This has cured most of my games.
hope this helps.

  • OSX Mavericks problems with iMail new mail sound and Time Capsule back-up symbol

    Since I updated to Mavericks, the New Messages Sound in iMail does not work; there is no sound. As well, the time capsule back-up clock-face symbol in the top menu no longer moves when the computer is being backed-up. Any ideas?

    Exactly what did you do?   Did you do a full system restore, after starting from your Recovery HD, per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions?
    When it was complete, I re-started my computer and I would see the Apple icon in the middle of my screen for about 10 seconds then the screen would go blank then several lines of messages were visible with the message the computer would not boot.
    This one?
    If so, that's a kernel panic.  All you need to do is install a fresh version of OSX.  See #E8 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • Sound problems with vista 32 bit on xfi xtremegamer

    hi im havin sound issues with my sound blaster xfi fatality xtremegamer on vista 32 bit. the sound will sound like a skippin cd or sound like it is stuterin for a few seconds than it will play fine than do it again later on. i was wounderin if its a driver issue with vista or my sound card has broke? i had it runnin on xp and had no problems. can anyone help me please as my card is only abot 8 months old so if it could be faltiy i am still covered by warrinty.

    I don't know if it's the driver that's causing a problem or if it's one of your components that's causing a problem. All I know is that the X-Fi is working great on my system, both in XP Pro and Vista Business. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think I installed the driver first and then the software from the leaked Vista Suite that I downloaded from a link in a post on this forum. Never had a problem with any of the previous drivers either, but on the other hand this system was built in november/december last year, so the hardware was fairly new at the time.

    My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
    ***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
    . Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
    2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
    3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
    Note:
    When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
    To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

  • T61 - problem with Vista x64 NVS 140M drivers

    Hi!
    I have problems with Vista x64 and NVS 140M drivers. Thing is that if I install them, everything will be slideshow, even the audio shutters quite bad and CPU is constantly over 45%. I have tried different driver versions but nothing has helped yet. Any ideas?
    I wonder if anyone has the old 7.15.11.0129 driver and could send it to me? Maybe that would help.

    Try the following test:
    - Go to Vista Sound Control Panel to view the S/PDIF out properties.
    - Click on the Supported Format tab page, select Dolby Digital and click Test.
    Is the test OK?

  • Airport Extreme Utility problem with Vista (works with XP, MacOS)

    Hi,
    I just setup a new Airport Extreme network at my house, and most things are working fine. I have wirelessly connected at various points an Airport Express (using WDS), a MacBook Pro (OSX) and an IBM Thinkpad. I have several wired machines as well.
    My problem: The wired machine I use to configure and setup everything is a Vista Ultimate machine. Unfortunately, the Airport Utility won't connect to the Airport Extreme (or Airport Express for that matter) from Vista. The utility works fine from XP or OSX, but not from Vista. Note that I'm using this in a wired capacity. The Vista machine is directly connected to the Airport Extreme, while several other machine are connected through a GBit switch.
    Any help would be much appreciated? Is this a Vista security problem or an Airport Utility problem with Vista?

    It's most likely a security issue with Windows Vista. Vista has the ability to set "compatibility modes" for applications.
    Try:
    1. right mouse clicking the Airport Utility's .exe file.
    2. Click the Compatibility tab. Change the Compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
    3. Now go down to "Privilage Level" and check the "Run this program as an administrator"
    Apple never tells you this but you must connect to the Airport Extreme wirelessly. Now run the Airport Utility. You should see it.

    JoBautista,
    you still have the option (before your warranty expires) of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan, which will provide an additional two years of coverage. Once your warranty expires, you will no longer have the option of purchasing AppleCare.

  • Problem with QT 7.1.5 and Sorensen codec?

    Has anyone noticed a compatibility problem with Sorensen video 3 codec and Quicktime 7.1.5? This problem did not seem to exist in prior versions (hence have been asking how to reinstall previous version but seems impossible). Some of the earlier postings discuss software that may be designed with Sorensen codec... these may be the ones not functioning properly now (video no longer works). Does this sounds plausible?
    Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    That may be true, Jack, but Edmund said that the movie played in QuickTime Player. So his problem is most likely not a bug in QuickTime, though I can't say for certain.
    And as I said above, I have no problem playing Sorenson-encoded content on my Intel-based Mac with QuickTime 7.1.5, so more details about your content and setup (including any third-party codecs you may have installed) so that people can determine what the difference might be between the content that plays and the content that does not, or what's different in the systems, would be helpful, I'm sure.

    This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago.   Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again.   You might want to clear your cache before reloading.  Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try.  Good Luck

  • Problems with creation of catalogue XPGrpwise and temporary

    Problems with creation of catalogue XPGrpwise and temporary files.
    I use GroupWise 8.01 and WinXP (SP2), OpenOffice 3.1.
    Why at opening files in Library, temporary files are not created in catalogue C:\Documents and Settings\Jon Smith\Local Settings\Temp\XPGrpwise, and created in catalogue C:\Documents and Settings\Jon Smith\My Documents. That causes problems. How to change a situation that worked as it is necessary.
    Catalogue XPGrpWise is created and leaves duly in catalogue C:\Documents and Settings\Jon Smith\Local Settings\Temp\.
