Zen Xtra 60gb- Plays songs too fast

Hi guys. There are no EAX special environments running at higher speeds or anything, but every song plays too fast. When I look at the counter for each song and put it alongside a stopwatch or other timing device, the songs are playing way too fast.

Nope, longstanding bug as simply having been around for a while. It's a bizarre one though.
I don't have an Xtra so I can't test (hopefully someone else can) but I'll check my Micro.
The key thing here is do you know if the music itself is actually accelerated? Or is it just the timer that's off?

    Im recently having this problem.. whenever i hit play, the songs are played too fast... i have tried rebooting, reinstalling, etc....Help

    Hmm... and you're positive you've checked with eMachines to make sure you have the latest firmware/drivers available for your sound card? I've had a few issues on an older eMachines desktop PC regarding the sound card and iTunes. Lots of driver reinstallations.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB not playing correctly anymore, help!!

    Thanks. I keep getting directed to that knowledge base page, but it is not addressing my problem. My computer immediately tells me that the device has "malfunctioned" and the computer does not recognize it. I only have the usb cord that came with the zen, so I don't have another one to try. I love my zen and have staunchly defended it over the years vs. an i-pod. However, this is my 2nd onI've had my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB for over 5+ years. It has worked great, with minimal problems. I had a firmware update issue quite a while back. I'm not sure how to resolve this problem. Here is the situation:
    Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB is fully charged and ready to use.
    I tried loading a set playlist but it won't load. So I tried another, and it doesn't load. Not sure what to do, I go to the menu. This time I choose an artist/band. The music loads, but it doesn't play. I try again, then it starts to play. So I load a few other artists that way. It seems like I had a issue to work out later. Being away from my computer that was going to have to wait. After some time the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB started to start N stop diferent songs. A few times it froze while playing a song. Then would unfreeze to play another, then suddenly start playing the previous one. After about 0-5 minutes of this I decided I had enough. So I planned to empty the playlist, and turn it off. It took me atleast three attempts to empty the playlist and turn it off.
    Are these problems fixable What are they hardware or software
    Would an OS or firmware update fix these problems Is my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 60GB hard dri've going Can I get a replacement Or do I need to buy a new player
    Please help me get my player working. I really like this model, I'd hate to have to replace it.
    in 5 years. (The first one fried itself, but fortunately was still under warrantly.) Sadly, I, too, am considering moving on. I onlyreceived generic help fromthe Creative SupportTeam (who ultimately told me my zen is "unrepairable" when their one-size-fits-all solutions didn't work).Since there seems to be an overwhelming # of people experiencing similar problems, maybe the time is right to make the change, especially since an iPod classic 60 GB (7th Generation) is quite affordable these days.

    Formatting will erase all the files on the player,Cleanup scans the disc & corrects file system errors,broken links (from when you delete things)ect. but does NOT repair bad sectors,Reboot then rebuilds the file system. I'd do the Cleanup>Reboot first to see if that solves the problem.here you will find how to open the player to see what dri've is in there. You can then search Ebay or Google the model number to find another one.

  • Audio books play back too fast on iPad

    Audiobook play back too fast on iPad .Ok when played back computer have tried re setting iPad and adjusting speech speed

    Have your rebooted/restarted your iPad? you do that by pressing the Home and power/sleep button at the same time until the slider to power off the iPad appears. Slide the slider and when screen activity stops depress the two buttons again until the Apple logo appears. When the iPad completes rebooting try again to see if that solved your problem.

  • Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast

    Hi
    I have just updated to the lastest version of flashplayer 11.3.300.257.  Now, all vidoes in youtube and bbc iplayer etc that use flashplayer run very fast and without sound (just like fast forwarding x4).
    I am on Windows Vista Business Edition (all updates included)
    Browser is IE9.
    I have tried a clean reinstall of flash player a number of times but same issue.
    I have cleared caches and deleted all history etc via the advanced section of the software.
    I have also removed the hardware acceleration.  Nothing has helped.
    However, if i run in "safe mode" it seems to run at the correct speed.  I have uninstalled all recent software updates (such as skype) but still the issue remains.  Is it likely to be a conflict issue?
    I have tried to install a previous version of flashplayer from the archives page but get an error message 1722.
    Can anyone help?
    Nigel

    For my reference, here's the bug:
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3217331 - Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast
    In order to get traction on this, they're going to need to be able to reproduce it.
    It would be great if you could do two things:
    - Provide direct links to a couple videos that reproduce this problem. 
      If they're on different sites, and based in the US, even better.  (Geographic restrictions make it hard to troubleshoot.  We can VPN, but that can mask/introduce network and timing problems.)
    - Provide the output of dxdiag.exe
      Go to Start > Run > and type "debugdiag" no qoutes, then hit [Enter]
    Save the output and attach it to the bug above.

  • ZEN XTRA 60GB DISPLAY CRAC

    I have a cracked display on the ZEN XTRA 60GB and would like to know if the parts (display/motherboard) from lower memory ZENs are compatible? Also, can the display and/or mother board (to which the display is mounted) be purchased for the repair to be done locally? WIth a estimated $40 diagnostic and an $8.00 part from Creative Tech Services, I'm looking for options. The unit is fully functional other than the display crystal layer being cracked. The unit is out of warranty.

    The Xtra has a specific sized display, hence you can only use the display from another Xtra. The idea of transplanting a display sounds a little unlikely to be honest, you would really need to transplant a mainboard, and even that will be extremely difficult to find.
    You could try and find a unit with a broken hard disk for sale on eBay, at your own risk of course.

    You mean the center pin, inside the players socket? If this has come off/snapped you are a bit stuck for recharging the player via the AC adapter. You say that the Male plug (from the adapter) has the pin stuck in it's If it has then you need to contact Creative, If your player is still in warrentey you should be able to claim off it, especially if "it just broke"...
    Contact them anyway and see what they can do, you cant repair the problem yourself without taking the player apart and replacing the entire socket. And you dont particually want to do that.
    Tell me, did the pin just snap off, or did it come off another way?

  • H264/ACC Stream plays back too fast on some computers

    Hi all,
    we got some feedback from some of our customers (about 1%) that the QuickTime streams we provide (H.264/ACC) play back too fast, about double the original rate and sound is dropping out.
    I have not seen this problem myself and there is no particular movie, which does not work. It seems to be the client setup (QT settings, video card whatever).
    Does anybody know what happens?
    Thanks
    NikWest

    Hi T-MACK,
    This may not be much help but I had the same problem. Inspection showed that I'd inadvertantly set the camera on long play when shooting the footage. It seemed fine when importing into imovie but playback appeared to be double speed. I posted a question on this forum but couldn't get a satisfactory solution. Re-setting the camera and reimporting didn't help. However, I borrowed a friends camcorder and reimported the same video from that. It worked. I can't see why but it did.
    Perhaps sommeone will come up with a better answer.
    Regards

    It sounds like the Podcast's playback speed was changed. You can change it by tapping the podcast artwork, locating the speed control that can be found under the right side of the scrubber bar. Then adjust as needed.

  • Zen Xtra 60gb (Clean Up Disk ta

  • Itunes 9 plays music too fast

    The music files I loaded onto my MAC are playing too fast. I have not had this problem before. System software and Itunes are all up to date. Any suggestions?

    A very strange problem indeed. I have not encountered this, and I have no idea if this will help you for sure, but Quicktime has a feature to playback music in a faster speed. It's a Quicktime menu option called "Show A/V Controls" under the "Window" menu (on the PC). The bottom right of the window that pops-up from that has "Playback speed" and if you drag that to "1x", that might help. It's the only thing I can think of. iTunes uses Quicktime components quite a bit. Do the songs play fast on your iPod?

  • Ipod plays music too fast

    I just don't understand, it seems that my nano plays the music way too fast. When I play the same music on the i-tunes it sounds fine, but on the ipod, the voices of the singers are really altered. What do I do about this?

    I've got the same problem too 2 days ago. Before going to sleep I wanted to listen to some music, but then I realized that my iPod nano 2nd generation was playing the music too fast, no matter which song. I can't really tell what speed it was playing at, but I'd say something between 1.025x to 1.050x. It might not appear that much, but try it with a program such as WMP and you will see a difference. The difference is subtle at first but evident when you the know the songs. So when that happened I was like "W-T-F" and then I restarted the iPod using the Menu+Center combination. I was wishing for it to play OK and then I tried a few songs and it was still going fast forward!!! At that point I was like ?%#!!?#@$$# and I turned it off. The next morning I took it with me to school and everything played fined. I am still mad cause even tough it works right now I have not found the cause nor the solution to that problem and I'm scared it's going to do it again.

  • Best way of using my zen xtra 60gb with speake

    Bearing in mind i'm not very technical , but learning!
    Can i use my zen xtra with amp and speakers system to act as a stereo system? when i connect it up the volume is really low and have to turn amp up too the max to get a loud enough sound?
    What do i need to do/get/install to make my player into a decent enough stereo system?
    Am i right using jack to twin phono leads in2 the amp.
    Can I download anything/upgrade my player to increase its volume level?
    Any help would be top!
    Cheers
    Jon

    I was trying to do something similar, but whenever I turn the volume up past about 20% the sound starts popping and cutting out horribly; it sounds like it's clipping, but that doesn't make much sense, because it's so freaking quiet! The *only* two possibilities I can figure are, a) for some reason the Dynamic Range is phenomenal compared to CD players, thus causing even slight increases in volume to clip out, or b) there's noise in the track somewhere at a frequency that you can't hear but the stereo can reproduce, and it's loud enough to cause it to overload.
    Neither of these seems very plausible though. What do you think?
