XMod also makes a popping noi

Hey guys, I've been using the XMod for several weeks now, and I notice randomly after using iTunes and then quitting, the XMod will pipe irregular metallic "pop" noises into my earphones.
Sample available: http://www.squarebrain.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/0/popnoise.wav
It never does it for the lineout connected speakers. Also, if I unplug the lineout and plug my external speaker into the earphone jack, nothing; no popping noise.
Unplugging and re-plugging the XMod fixes the problem, but it comes back after some time.
I've tried disabling the on-board sound, to no avail.
Since it's easily fixable it's more of an annoyance than anything else, but what gives?
System specs:
MSI K7N2 w/ AMD Athlon XP 2800
Gig Kingston RAM
ATI Radeon X800GTO

I just got back from CC with a new unit and this one is giving me the same problem, I don't know what happens, I think creative is going to create an update to fix this problem, will keep testing the unit and if I don't find any solution, will return it.
The Xmod is a very straightforward product, it doesn't work the way a soundcard would, it doesn't require drivers/software, or?much setting up. Are you using the USB port on the front of the PC? If so, try the back, it could be something related to not having enough power from your USB port, or a problem with the port you were using. If you have access to?another system, try it out there aswell.

Thanks for answering, Luckily, I have 4 systems to test it on, I have the same problem with them, Two of them are Gateway, one Emachine and the last is a compaq, I tested with all the available USB Ports, with the same problem, the weird thing is, that when I connect the mic, the noise goes away, this happens only with the headphones. As I said before, I'm having problems with the mic port as well. I have an Audigy 2 NX which doesn't turn on, do you or anyone know where can I take it to get it fixed?

Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ?

Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ? I really hate the new way all of my chats are in one window and I have to manually open them in a new window. I miss having them pop up in a new window as people contact me.

Hi,
The Chats can be double clicked off the Messages window into a separate window and then the Messages window closed.
What can't be done is to start the chats in new windows.
It also pays not to use th DOCK icon to "read" new messages when the DOCK badge shows as this reopens the Mesages main window.

I have a imac g3 dv se, snow and after about 10minutes of it booting it makes a popping sound and the turns off, then it wont turn back on for another 5-10 minutes

i have a imac g3 dv se,500mhz, snow and after about 10minutes of it booting it makes a popping sound and the turns off, then it wont turn back on for another 5-10 minutes any suggestions?

Actually sounds like classic symptoms of a failing PAV (power-analog-video) on that model. Historically that's the weak spot in the G3 iMacs.
The lack of active cooling in the G3 iMac puts a lot of heat stress on this board and they eventually fail from overheating. Right now the board is still working as long as it's cool--it only fails when temps inside the computer rise.
About the only way to preserve the computer's life is to mount a 120mm fan directly on the case where the handle is--that's the exhaust port. The fan has to be positioned to PULL air out through that vent. It's an ugly solution to the eye but it has been done around here more than you would think.
Also make certain the bottom of the computer is not blocked. It the computer is sitting on a tablecloth or placemat, or there are loose papers on the desk under the case, it cannot get enough air into the bottom-mounted air intakes. Make/find some blocks to set the iMac a minimum of one inch (2.5CM) from the desk and move anything that can be "inhaled" from under the computer.
Even with such measures, the PAV board will eventually fail and be unrecoverable. It's a good time to start saving for a newer computer.

The green button, top left corner of a pop-up screen on MACbook, it's supposed to enlarge the pop-up to full MAC screen size, correct? Mine does not. Sometimes it makes the pop-up screen SMALLER. Appreciate someone solving this for me.

Are you talking about the green '+' button in the top left corner? That technically doesn't enlarge it. It switches the window from the default window size to the custom size you made. You can enlarge the window by moving your mouse to the bottom right corner of the window, and dragging until you get the size you want.

How to make a pop up within if else

I'm now making an user interface which will be used to control a remote robot. I want to make it so that when a button is pressed, a window will pop-up and tells the user what the robot is doing. At the moment, I can only make it to show the message in the cmd box. Code is as follow:
class ActionHandler implements java.awt.event.ActionListener
          public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)
               Object object = event.getSource();
               if (object == forwardButton) {
                    System.out.println("Robot moving fordward");
               else if (object == backwardButton) {
                    System.out.println("Robot moving backward");
               else if (object == rotateLeftButton){
                    System.out.println("Robot rotating to its left");
               else if (object == rotateRightButton){
                    System.out.println("Robot rotating to its right");
The only way to make pop-up which I know is this one:
import javax.swing.*;
public class DisplayTextInWindow {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // create a String variable
          String messageText = "Hello world";
          // display it in the console window
          System.out.println(messageText);
          // now display it in its own window
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, messageText );
Which I can put into the code for interface because I can't start another class within an if statement (as far as I know anyway...)
Can anyone please teach me how to make a pop-up within an if else statement?

Which I can put into the code for interface because I can't start another class within an if statement (as far as I know anyway...)yes you can.
if (robotRotating)
    newClass class = new newClass();

Can anyone please teach me how to make a pop-up within an if else statement?sure
if (robotRotating)
   //i think this part is already answered in the previous post

How to make a pop up that pause the program (during pop up) and click button to continue OR stop the program

Hi people,
I am using LabVIEW to create a testing program to test a power system. The testing lasts for a loop of 90 minutes.
I would like to make a pop up when the testing is completed. When the pop up message appear, the whole program should be paused (NOT STOP) and when the two buttons (continue, stop) are pressed, the program should continue to run OR stop. [To start another loop of testing in order to make sure data collected is accurate and consistent.]
How do I make this kind of pop up window? I have totally no idea how to work on this. I will be very appreciated if someone could give me some suggestions/help regarding this.
Thank you.
Regards,
Vanessa

Hi Blokk,
In my actual program I have 3 while loops. In while loop A, it is used as counter, to transfer rows of data from an array (row by row) to loop B. For loop B, device drivers are used so that my program can be used to control the devices (it is for automated instrument testing). Loop C is then used for DAQ, data at different test points will be recorded at every second.
I would prefer something simple in controlling all the while loops as my program is quite complex.
Thank you so much.
Vanessa
I do not see why you need these 3 while loops. This task could be done with a single while loop, or max 2. Why you need loop A? You could generate data from this array inside loop B. You must use the DAQ and device control part in separate while loops? Maybe you could simplify you code to have one single while loop: at every iteration you could send a new control command to your device(s), and after this do a DAQ measurement.

I keep getting a pop up to install firebug and its getting really irritating. I think it could harm my computer (because my computer has warned me it might be a virus). How can i make the pop up go away?

you keep sending a pop up message saying that i need to install firebug. Its getting annoying... really annoying. Please make it go away. My computer warns me it might be a virus or affect my computer in some way. I see no need for this firebug. Just make the pop up go away please.

You probably installed an extension which requires Firebug to be installed. Get rid of that extension and that message won't appear any more.

Iphone 5 makes a rattling noise from day 1, the replacement also makes this similar noise. customer care can provide me with another replacement but can not promise if the new replacement will have this noise or not. can i get a refund ?

my iphone 5 from day one makes a rattling noise when you shake the device.
the replacement i recieved also makes the similar rattling noise, apple calls it a "common problem" and says its the autofocus of the camera which makes the noise, but people i know are not experiencing any such noise in their evices, hence its not their in all the iphone.
honestly investing Rs 45000 in india i dont expect my device to have a stupid defect as this one,
In my latest conversation i have had with a senior representative of apple care iv been given an option to have anpther replacement but they cant promise me that the new replacemnt will have no such rattling noise it might be even worse.
since apple cant promise me a replacement without any such noise and my device is not even 90 days old, and since apple calls it a common problem in iphone5 is it possible that they give me replacement of 5c or 5s and il pay the difference in price or just have a refund ? since they cant provide me with a solution and keeping this device with this defect is not a solution with me.

Sorry if it's over 14 days apple does not refund the device, just sit tight and keep on asking for a device that doesn't rattle, be firm but polite about your position on the matter.

My 24" IMac freezes and makes a popping sound in the speakers. What could be wrong?

Good afternoon
I have an early 2008 24" imac, 2.8GHz Intel cor 2 duo, mountnain lion 10.8.2. From time to time it suddenly stops, and makes a popping noise from the speakers and then the computer is frozen, i have to press the power button. This is now happening more often, at first i thought it might be flash as it use to happen on youtube videos, but today it froze whilst usling skype.
I read on the forms, but my problem is not exactly as the ones on forums.
Does anyone have this problem? Could it be the harddrive failing. I did a clean install of mountain lion last night and it happened still, the hard drive is a 320gb Hitatchi
Thanks
I have included a youtube link of what it looks and sounds like.

You should try whats called a smc reset, look up HT3964 it should help, what you do is turn the imac off unplug the power cord from the back and hold down the power button for about 15 seconds then release and plug it back in.
If that doesnt work try a pram reset, HT1379, just google the number and it will pull up.

When inserting a .pdf of a document with a standard white paper color the test and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.
Good Luck.

If i dont use the display when using the GPS and only listen to the voice instructions can that also makes the iphone overheat even if you dont use the display

because when i use the gps app in my iphone 4s in the car my iphone gets overheat so
if i dont use the display when using the GPS and only listen to the voice instructions can that also makes the iphone overheat even if you dont use the display
will that help?

When you use your GPS does your iPhone get hot enough to shutdown? The reason I ask is that I have run my GPS app with the screen brightness set to near max connected to power for hours. My iPhone got hot, but didn't shutdown.

HT201272 I connected my iphone to iTunes and it erased my ringtones. It also makes me pay for my ringtones over again on the iTunes app, even though it says that I've already previously purchased the item.

I should mention that I also did a restore hoping that would solve the problem but it did not, and it was after this that I lost some of my music.

Does your Macbook make Random Popping Sounds?

Hi all, does your Macbook make random popping sounds, on startup and periodically when your using your MB. I have this issue with two macbooks and i can't seem to find many other people who have this problem. I'm unsure whether it's the audio popping issue mentioned in other threads because this happens when no external speakers are plugged in. It's just pops away on it's own and it's driving me mad, i can't even pin it down to a specific task because it;s so random.
Both of my Macbook are operating under 10.4.11.
Arrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

Actually now that you've mentioned it, mine sometimes randomly makes the popping sounds, more to the likes of 'clipping' of speakers. But the odd thing is, mine only pops when connect my speakers (it's a Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 setup which i purchased over 6 years ago) - and the speakers have been fine all these while? I am positive that it's not my speakers because just recently (2-3 days ago) my brother brought his HP laptop and used my speakers and i did not hear anything even after he left his inferior (haha kidding) laptop on my desk to have a smoke without any music/sound coming out of the speakers.
To be more precise. my popping sound occurs specifically (as I haven't tried others) as I pause my music on iTunes. It does annoy the h*ll out of me and I really assumed that it was my speakers.
At least I'm not alone now. My Macbook specs are listed below.

My mobile me will also download my pop mail will this also happen with icloud?

When I read the information it seems to say it will then it won't

This facility is not available in iCloud. Before migrating you should turn it off in MobileMe as otherwise you may find it continues to operate in iCloud for a time (this is effectively a bug) with no way of turning it off since it isn't supposed to the there.
