Yet another audio post

Much like everyone else here, I'm having the no audio output device is installed problem.  I am simply going mad now... Here's a bit of a background.
The laptop is a dv6815nr that came with Vista Business and everything worked fine until I upgraded (well, tried to, had a power outage and the entire partition got corrupt so I had to format fresh) to Windows 7 Ultimate.  From that point the CDROM stopped working, can't boot off CDs/DVDs though that's fine.  Now out of nowhere the sound has disappeared.  System restore didn't help, tried a clean whipe again deleting the entire partition, still no good.
In the services it's running, no sound in the device manager so I can't update/uninstall the driver.  When attempting to install either Conexant or Realtek I get an error saying no device found.  I'm assuming that the problem is that the computer no longer detects the sound card or whatever else that'd cause that.
Short version (for those who don't want to read all of that) - Upgraded a dv6815nr laptop from Vista to 7 now I have no sound.  No sound deviced in the device manager, and can't install Realtek.

Hi BehiiMehii,
Please go to the device manager and check the audio card you have. Afterwards, try downloading the appropriate driver from the following link:  
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategor​y?os=2093&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3686​...
Since there are no Win7 drivers available for your model, you might try with the Vista driver available, which does work at some cases... Install them in Compatibility Mode.
Steps to install driver in Compatibility mode:
1. Place the driver installation file on the Desktop.
2. Right Click the driver installation file and select Properties/Compatibility Tab. Select the appropriate options in from the list in the following image.
3. Click apply/OK
4. Right Click the file and select the Run As Administrator option to install.

  • Yet another Slideshow Post!

    Hi!
    I've been doing Slideshows with FCP for a while all ala Ken Burns effects and synced to music and audio and video effects. Untill now I've been doing them in 4:3 PAL format but now I've been requested for a 16:9 one. Since this is only for DVD PAL:
    1- What's the best sequence setting for doing this?
    2- What kind of cropping do I have to apply to the images? (I've ben cropping in 4:3 to 1440x1152 compensating the square to non square pixels issue with good results but no sure now what to do)
    PD: This is a reedition of an old 4:3 Slideshow, so assuming it's 100% JPEGS, is there a way to chage it to 16:9 without having to re-edit again?
    Thanks for reading my question.

    Just to add to this. When a client gets a lease (Ip address with a timer, set in the DHCP server, could be seconds to days and more), it will continue to use that Ip address until the lease expire (in practice it will aks for renew if possible before expiration), in which case it will ask the server renew its present IP address/lease, if refused (IP taken sorry) then starts negotiating all over again to establish a new Ip address/lease (as opposed to renewing).
    Even if the client rebooted (it has the IP address/lease in its databse as well as on the server), it will contact the server to either continue using the current information, or if it is taken then it will negotiate all over again.
    However, keep in mind that the server has a databse of ip address and leases given out. So it will never give the IP address unless the lease expired and the client has been out of touch for some time.
    usually, you will notice that DHCP servers will go through their pool first before reusing a given Ip address (given in the past) even when it is expired. So as to avoid any conflicts. MY wireless pool is for 50 devices and wired for 5 addresses (since I only have 5 ports).
    That why most likely when you come back after a month (say the originial lease is for a week and expired) and connect your client (Iphone for example) you wil likely to get the same IP address. Unless the DHCP server was dishing a lot of IP addresses and recycled its pool.
    However, if you left the DHCP server on in the repeater (now you have 2 DHCP servers), then you will end up with two conflicting databases for the dished IP adresses.
    Hope this helps.

  • Yet another EL post (I apologize in advance)

    I've tried searching the forums before asking this question, but haven't found anything to solve my problem. Initially, the issue is the same many others have: EL expressions are being ignored. So I added in the page directive, and this was the response:
    1 error(s) found in /grucom/jsp/Alice/siteDev/doRetrieve.jsp
    (1) The page has invalid attribute(s): [isELIgnored]
    I've provided the code below. I don't have the authority to modify the web.xml file (I'm just a temp here) and we have so many system administrators in this organization that I have no idea who to contact about fixing it (or, for that matter, if they WOULD). Is there a workaround for using EL? Anything? Ultimately I just want to be able to send variable strings instead of literals to my custom tags.
    <%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>
    <%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="../../../../WEB-INF/classes/gcos/taglib/email.tld" prefix="email" %>
    <%
         String errmsg = "";
         String email = request.getParameter("email");
         if (email.equals(null)) errmsg += "<LI>Please enter your email address (login)";
         if (errmsg.equals("")) { %>
              <email:send to="${param.email}" subject="Your GCOS Password" content="password" />
         <%     response.sendRedirect("index.jsp");
         else {
              session.setAttribute("errmsg",errmsg);
              response.sendRedirect("pwdRetrieve.jsp");
    %>

    Are you using JRun3 or JRun4?
    I have used JRun4 previously, and it worked fine for custom tags, and the JSTL 1.0, though EL expressions ARE limited to the JSTL tags.
    To get the full information on your server you can include this in a JSP page
    ServerInfo = <%= application.getServerInfo() %> <br>
    Servlet version = <%=application.getMajorVersion() %>.<%= application.getMinorVersion() %>That should tell you exactly what version you have, and what you can do.
    This is one of the few times I might advocate putting a taglib entry in the web.xml
    <taglib>
        <taglib-uri>/gcos/email</taglib-uri>
        <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/classes/gcos/taglib/email.tld</taglib-location>
      </taglib>This sets up a mapping between the taglib uri (which is just a string), and the tld file on disk.
    The container SHOULD pick this information up automatially with an entry in web.xml, but this might give it a kick in the right direction if it is having trouble.
    Good luck,

  • Yet another AVCHD post (specific to sony sr-1 mts import)

    Wow was I hopeful that this cs4 version of PPro would be able work with the avchd / mts files created by my sony hdr-sr1. There is no hope...
    "File format not supported" :-(
    I've tried changing the extension to m2ts without any success. Looks like my $$ going to be spent on Vegas 8 Pro unless someone has other suggestions.
    One more question -- I'm surprised at the limited number of project presets. Am i missing something here too?

    Yes, it's the trial. Did I miss reading limitations in the trial?

  • Yet another "fail to respond".....

    I've had a look around on the posts and can't find a problem that quite matches this. I bought my parents a G5 iMac with an external iSight just over a year ago. We've been using iChat happily since then, til today.
    Originally I had G4 iMac with iSight on panther. Since then we've both upgraded to Tiger, and I've upgraded to a G5 iMac 2.1 with built in iSight. Still no problems. Just after christmas I invested in a Zoom ethernet modem and tonight was the first time since then we've tried to iChat. Depending on who's trying to accept the chat, they recieve the message that they have failed to respond.
    Both firewalls are off and encryption is not enabled. This would suggest to me that it might be my new modem. So I powered up my old G4 connected with my old modem, but still no audio or videochats, with the same error messages.
    I don't see why I should be getting the same problem with my old set up too when it worked fine before (G4 running Tiger too).
    Any thoughts?

    HI Veeto,
    Ok your parents may have set up Port Forwarding like this (I can not UPnP listed on this screen shots).
    UPnP stands for Universal Pug n Play.
    It is one means of making sure the Ports in a cable or ADSL modem are open.
    Port Forwarding is another and Port Tiggering is yet another.
    Sometimes a cabele modem can be set as a Straight through device much like a USB modem.
    An ADSL modem is likely to come with some ports pen by default which allow you to Plug and Play with your Web broswer and Mail applications and Send and get files over FTP.
    However iChat uses ports ports above the 1024 threshold for these open ports. This means you have to open the ports.
    If you have the Access IP and Default Password and User ID for your 5660ADSL modem then you will be able to do the same.
    The page I linked you to has all the ports you need for AIM and Jabber accounts to work.
    This is on of the other Zoom's Pages for the same thing. Similar but different.
    You should be able to work out how to set yours up.
    Ideally you need to use UPnP or Port Triggering to use two computers at one location with iChat as these both allow multiple computer to use the same ports (Port Forwarding does not).
    It might be you have newer firmware on your modem than is shown in these pics and you might have UPnP.
    http://www.zoom.com/techsupport/adsl/adsl_x3.shtml (Firmware page).
    I do not see that it says it has UPnP on thier site.

  • Yet another dead mic with Win7 64-bit upgrd - Portege M700

    Title says it all.  Mics used to work fine on this machine under Windows XP. Under Win7, except as I note below, the mic has inaudibly low volume with any Control Panel Sound settings. I've spent huge amounts of time trying to solve this. After seeing all the similar posts (with no solutions, it seems) from users of many different Toshiba laptops, I'm about to start spreading the meme across the Internet that Toshiba laptops can't use mics.
    I started by upgrading to Win7 then adding just the 64-bit drivers I need from Toshiba's support site. No joy.  Then I started from a clean Win7 upgrade (64-bit Home) using Toshiba's upgrade script.  Nope.  Installed latest generic drivers from Realtek.  Hmm .. some progress, maybe: now with some Sound settings I can get slightly more volume but the mic input is drowned out by white noise-ish hissing.  All right, disable any other sound sources I can adjust: disable Chicony webcam driver from Device Manager. Hmm, now mike volume can get fairly high but the hissing still drowns it out.
    Toshiba: At some level, this is a problem between Microsoft and Realtek, I know. But you can help us.  MS changed the audio model significantly since Win XP, including (god knows why!) giving up the little audio mixer app that used to let you adjust levels for different sound sources.  And Realtek's generic driver doesn't provide one either.  So just give us a way to adjust levels for different audio inputs!  Maybe I haven't Googled sufficiently and some hacker out there has one, but I kinda doubt it ... if it requires driver-level access as I suspect, Microsoft's new DRM-motivated hammerlock limiting us to signed drivers prevents us from fixing this ourselves.  (It also means we can't access our ext3 partitions without extreme measures, but that's another rant.)  So CAN SOME TOSHIBA ENGINEER PLEASE LET MANAGEMENT KNOW THEY'RE ABOUT TO DESTROY THEIR LAPTOP FRANCHISE OVER AUDIO ISSUES?  Just cut, paste, and forward a couple dozen of these threads.  Sure, it's a career risk but (wo)man up to it!  Audio really matters to laptop buyers nowadays ... without Skype, I'll have do carry Yet Another Device when I'm traveling.  Heck, I've personally bought at least 6 Toshiba laptops over the years and I'm starting to shop for a replacement.  Anything but Toshiba, I'm sorry to say :-(
    Oh, in case somebody has an idea of something else I can try, the specific model is PPM70U-1KC01DB

  • Is this yet another problem with 7.5 or is it just me . . .

    Upgrade seemed to be fine, at first . . . now I keep getting distortion on songs. It seems to be quite random and just because a song has been distorted when I've listened to it once doesn't mean it will be when I listen to it again! It's driving me insane. Is this yet another bug or have I done something wrong (apart from upgrading to 7.5).

    Hi Emlou,
    If you have a Windows based operating system such as XP -
    It seems to me that you are suffering what I am having the same problem with - the program takes up to much of your computer's processing usage. If you go into your task manager and watch performance as ITunes runs - you will see how much of the total computer usage it is taking at any given moment - that's why your songs are distorted, slowing, garbled, etc - the usage on mine spikes from 11% - 93% AT ANY GIVEN MINUTE! I have no idea why, but I have found that by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on Quicktime you can adjust audio output to help. Click the audio tab, click Safe Mode Wavout only (checkbox) / Then adjust the "Rate" to 96kHz / Then adjust the "Size" to 16 bit. Close that and shut down and restart Itunes - it might help a little for you.
    Maybe someone out there can help us find out why we are suffering with all the CPU usage trouble and how to adjust that spiking.
    Thanks!

  • New updates excludes me from opening Wimba audio posts

    I would go onto Drexel U. website and listen to audio posts from students through Wimba. Updated MacBook Pro last evening and now cannot access Wimba site. I can, however, access Wimba after I restart the computer. But, I need to restart every time to access site. PLEASE HELP. This is not a Drexel issue, I already spoke with them, it is a MacBook issue

    Hi Linda
    this is a website access issue, yes? you just can't reach the site?
    what error message do you get?
    is another browser the same, another mac user account?

  • Display hints, custom format method in VO, is there yet another way?

    Did you experience the same and had a solution?
    Hi,
    I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and looking for yet another way of customizing the display of an attribute of a view object.
    I have two tables: BILL and AWARDS, with composite foreign key relationship (on the LDAP_UID and TERM fields) between them, as illustrated below.
    The BILL table:
    NAME       LDAP_UID    TERM   CREDIT_HRS
    Tom Smith  tom.simth   200902       12.5
    Jane Lopez jane.lopez  200906        4.0
    The AWARD table:
    LDAP_UID    TERM  SOURCE     APPLIED
    tom.smith  200902 Perkins     2000.00
    tom.smith  200906 Direct      1300.00
    jane.lopez 200906 CN           500.00 At the business data model level, this is master(Bill)/detail(Awards) relationship. Bill is dragged from the data control palette to the page and displayed as a form, and Awards is dragged to the page as a table. When tom.smith logs in and chooses the 200902 TERM, the master and detail are joined on tom.smith=tom.smith and 200902=200902, so the $2,000.00 of Perkins loan is retrieved for him:
    Name Tom Smith
    Term 200902
    Source    Applied  
    Perkins   $2,000.00That works fine but not user friendly: the values in the TERMS column are a bit cryptic and need to be displayed in plain English, i.e., 200902 should be displayed as "Spring 2009" and 200906 as "Summer 2009". The display hints in the VO can not handle this. The only other way I know is writing a method in the Row class of the VO to do the translation. And this is the result:
    Name Tom Smith
    Term Spring 2009
    Source        Applied  
    No rows yet   Obviously, "Spring 2009" is used not only for display, but also for joining the master and detail tables. Of course "Spring 2009"!=200902, therefore no detail is retrieved for the user.
    Question is: is there yet another way to customize the display, that does not affect the join of master and detail tables?
    Many thanks for your help!

    Hi, Chris,
    That works!
    I found the chapter where transient attribute is explained and an example is given creating a transient attribute in the entity object. It turned out that transient attribute works both in entity object and view object. I did it in the VO and it solves my problem.
    I spent hours of time before posting that question, trying two different ways but neither worked. Your one sentence saved me a lot of time. I do appreciate you help very much!
    Truly,
    Newman

  • AIR 3.3 stop background audio when another audio app is launched?

    I currently have audio playing in the background in my AIR app for iOS. My problem is that when you have the audio playing in the background, and you launch any other audio app on your phone...the audio starts to overlap because my AIR app does not stop playing audio. So when you open Pandora, Music, IHeartRadio, Youtube, etc...the AIR audio still plays.
    Is this fixed in the AIR 3.3 release with the <executeInBackground> tag? Or is there another way for my AIR app to recognize that another audio app is launching? All the afformentioned apps play nice together like that.
    I would think this would be grounds for not being accepted in the iTunes store.
    I really need some answers because my app is set to go live soon and this will be a game changer if I cannot fix it. I will probably have to try and create it in objective C
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    -- I posted this in the wrong place last night and meant to post it here. --

    Thanks a lot for the reply!
    It is very unfortunate that there is not a solution to this. It seems that building an audio/music player app via AIR for iOS is not really feasable due to this limitation.
    I would think the use case would be larger for my case because typically, when you launch a game on your iPhone, the background audio application stops the music. Or maybe just have a listener that could detect if another app was launched at least, so you could stop your AIR audio by choice. That would be great.
    Do you see this as grounds for an audio app being rejected? If the background audio does not stop unless you physically go back into the app and pause it?
    Thanks.

  • Yet another export issue with Aperture 3

    Judging by a search of topics, there seem to be a myriad of problems associated with getting files out of Aperture, some of which represent occult setting issues, others which seem to be actual bugs.  I've run into an issue which seems to defy categorization, and I'm not sure if it's me doing something wrong, or if it is actually yet another bug with this software.  I've been an Aperture user since 1.0 and I have to say the current version I'm running (3.4.3) is by far the worst yet.  Anyway, enough whining.  Here are the issues:
    I'm running Aperture on a 6 core Mac Pro with Lion 10.7.5.  There are two thing happening. 
    1.  Exporting JPEGs is INCREDIBLY slow - perhaps as long as 4 or 5 minutes for a 3MB file. 
    2.  This is the one driving me batty right now.  Tried exporting a batch of images as JPEGs at the 50% original size setting.  The master files are large 16 bit TIFF images from Nikon D800 RAW files, post-processed in Nik HDR Efex Pro 2.  They are 80-100MB in size.  When I export the images to a file on my Desktop, it consistently exports 6- 10 KB thumbnails.  I've checked and rechecked my export settings and can find nothing amiss there.  Has anyone else had a similar experience?  Could the view I'm working in have anything to do with this?  I work 95% of the time in split view.
    Thanks,
    Russ

    I agree that there re a lot of posts about exporting, but a very large number of them refer to the same thing, and it's not a bug, but rather a misunderstanding.
    For instance:
    Tried exporting a batch of images as JPEGs at the 50% original size setting.
    Okay.
    The master files are large 16 bit TIFF images from Nikon D800 RAW files, post-processed in Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
    Not relevant.
    They are 80-100MB in size. 
    Not relevant either.
    Why?
    Because size refers to the dimensions of the image. So a 1,000 x 1,000 pixel image exported at 50% will turn out as 500 x 500 pixels.
    Were you expecting a jpeg between 40 and 50 MB? That's Jpeg quality or the amount of compression applied to the image. And as you're compressing a lossless format (tiff) to a lossy one, and one with an aggressive compression algorithm, he resulting Jpeg, even at high quality, will be much, much smaller, more likely in the 6 - 8 MB range.
    That's the nature - and indeed the point - of Jpegs.
    So, if you're getting 6 - 10 kb images, you're exporting at a very low Jepg Quality.
    This may also explain why it's taking so long to export. Getting rid on 99.99% of the data and compressing into 10kb is always going to take time.

  • Carbon - yet another terminal emulator

    What is carbon?
    Carbon is yet another terminal emulator aiming at minimalism, speed, functionality, and aesthetics. As an added bonus, the code is very modular.
    Carbon is built on xcb instead of Xlib. There has yet, to my knowledge, a terminal emulator built like this. This should prove to provide a faster and more responsive terminal.
    Features
      * Support for managing different colour themes.
      * Ability to install custom escape sequence handlers.
      * Daemon mode much like urxvt, possibly with some degree of detaching/reattaching support.
    While I haven't figured out how I'm going to handle configuration, I will utilize custom escape sequences to control certain settings. For example, unless I find it unsatisfactory, carbon will provide a shell script for theme changing/previewing, relying on escape sequences to tell the terminal what color theme to use.
    The code it somewhat suckless inspired, it will utilize a config.h file by the time its done. However, I have a somewhat bigger aim on making carbon modular than most suckless projects. The terminal emulator back-end should be easily reusable other projects.
    Current status:
      * I can create a tty and read and write from it.
      * I can parse CSI escape sequences (but I ignore them for now)
      * I can read keypresses from a windows and send the appropriate character to to the tty (at time of posting, this is not committed to repo).
    Not really worth running as it doesn't draw to the screen yet, but its getting there.
    Thanks to:
       * st, madtty: This project was largely written looking at how they did things; my code ranges from very similar to blatant rip-off.
       * Awesome: I gutted their keycode->keysym->string code to get input working. Kudos for adopting xcb.
    Heres a link to the project on github: github.com/simongmzlj/carbon
    Thanks for your time. Any comments, ideas, or criticisms would be appreciated.

    Sorry, I really wasn't very clear, and I'm not positive how to say it.  I'm perfectly happy with being able to scroll through history.  That's a useful feature.  But consider this situation: You're checking out the git man files.  This gives you a page far longer than your terminal is, and you work your way down to the command you wanted to check out.  Then, when you quit, I prefer if the info stays on your screen instead of removing the git man page and going back to what you had before calling man.  Hopefully that makes sense.  If not, think the default behaviour of screen (prefered) vs. xterm.

  • Audio post - tips  / workflow

    Hi Guys!
    I was wondering if anyone out there might be able to give some pointers on how to audio post TV dialogue/interview/talkshow type stuff - as far as appropriate filtering & what to look for.
    The audio is only studio conversation, usually at an ok level, but has moments where the guys start get into it and there are bitg audio peaks/spikes - would there be a filter that would be able to deal with the peaks?
    We have been trying to get our heads around using the Compressor, and recently found the multipressor - seems powerful. Seems to fatten out the sound and make it sound a lot more pro! - or should we be fattening it up with an EQ of some sort?
    Any tips would be fantastic! or if you know any good online resources please let me know!
    Cheers
    AT

    Adam:
    Yeesh. If by "peaks/spikes" you mean very brief, one-or-two samples worth of occasional clipping, you can edit them out, do some clever copying, and have something workable. But if you're talking entire words, sentences, speeches, all flying into the red zone: that there is clipping. The deal with clipping is it clips the sound information - the info isn't hiding, it's simply not there, and you can't add filters/effects to create it.
    Anyway, that's just for peaks.
    The Compressor filter allows you to pick a volume level threshhold: anything above it, is lowered relative to everything else lowered. It's used for a slew of things. A good example is when you have a scene perfectly mixed by itself, but when you put it next to other sequences it plays too loud. Compress the scene!
    EQ you use, yes, to beef up sounds, and, depending on the complexity of your mix, you raise/lower certain frequencies in some sounds (ie, music) to make room for another sound (ie, dialogue) that has more important sound informatio in that frequency that you want to hear more clearly.
    Of course, overdoing anything just draws attention to itself, and, usually, soundwork should be invisible.
    Online, searches like "EQ basics" will give you a ton of helpful reading. Also, ftlog, read the manual(s). Honestly, it's a lot, but it'll take out so much of the guesswork, and it'll open up your options - there are things you don't know that the program can do.
    Happy sounding,
    Michael

  • Yet Another Soon to be MBP Owner in Need of Guidence

    Hello all,
    Believe it or not this is yet another post from a college student in the process of purchasing a new MBP who's appealing to the venerable Apple discussion board community for guidance. My dilemma is not that I can't decide on what MBP I want or what features I need, I've already decided on a top of the line model with the 7200 RPM hard drive and a Crucial ram upgrade, it's that I can't decide when would be the best time to make the purchase given the WWDC keynote on the 7th of August. I would like to get the most bang for my three grand but I need have the computer up and running by the twenty-first with Windows installed to run AutoCad. Would you recommend waiting until the 7th to order the computer and see it the MBP's are updated with the hope an updated MBP would be able to get to me in time or should I buy now with the knowledge that I'll be buying a computer that will be updated, but not outdated, soon?
    Thanks for your time,

    I am also a college student... and I was going to wait for the new merom, but I decided against it... I just think the likelyhood of them released before september is unlikely in my head... but you never know... But I looked at it this way... I wanted a MBP bad, despite all the problems I heard about them (my mbp has no problems to this day).... I figured if I waited for the new releases, the only thing that would change is the fact that it's basically a new computer, and with new computers come with new problems... I also figured, the likelyhood of the computers being released before my school started was slim, so I bought it now. I am very happy with my MBP right now, and you have to think of it this way, there will always be upgrades, whos to say that after the merom has been released, something new will becoming after that... I find it less painful to buy a MBP in july, and have the meroms be released months later, then purchasing it in september, and having them be released a possible weeks later... a little less painful, but that's my input, do what you want, I have a 17" MBP , week 26, and I am a happy camper!
