32bit Audio - 5.1, SPDIF, Partial
Apr 21, 2009
1. When I go into Control Panel >> Sound >> select Realtek High Def Audio device Properties and then go to the Supported Formats tab, when I click Dolby Digital and Test, I don't hear any sound
2. When I check that Dolby Digital box on the Supported Formats sound tab, and try to play DVDs or multichannel .dvr-ms files, I get no sound
3. When I uncheck the Dolby Digital box and play a DVD, I do get sound from 2 speakers
4. When I play a .mkv file with DTS I do get 5.1 sound
5. When I play a Blu-ray disc through Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre, I have the "downmix" option selected in the software, and I do get 5.1 DTS sound

I have Realtek high definition audio onboard with one coaxial and one optical digital out. I have the newest driver. I need to connect PC with Panasonic AV Receiver via digital connection. When I use coaxial connection, sound works fine BUT sound is too silent! I have Sony DVD player with coaxial digital output too. If I use subjective for example 1-10 "scale", build-in RDS tuner (in AV receiver) has subjective volume 10, sound from CD inserted in DVD player has the same subjective volume 10 and sound from PC connected via coaxial digi has subjective volume 5. Only volume control i have in Windows is set to max!

I've recently just installed Vista Home Premium x64 on a new build and am experiencing some peculiar freezes. Basically the start menu and all options to click on any buttons/links etc anywhere on the screen lock up - however I am able to Alt+Tab to other windows but not press any buttons etc. If I Ctrl+Alt+Del and then Esc everything starts working again.
This does it intermittently but sometimes 2 or 3 times in a space of a couple of minutes or less.
Any ideas or know of this bug/problem?

Where is the setting on Vista which lets you change your search settings, so that you can search only part of the file name, and the file will come up. Someone changed it on my dad's computer, and I have been looking for about an hour, and I still can't find it.

Ive just changed from 32bit to the 64bit OS, and I have noticed that I have 2 Program Folders one has x86 next to it. I take it that this is for 32bit programs and the other for 64bit applications. The question I have is most of the programs are in both folders which means taken up valuable harddrive space, is it advisable to delette the 32bit folder.

For some reason, I have the Aero glass theme enabled on my 64-bit Vista machine, but the theme is only used for a few windows. It seems to be mostly reserved for OS related windows, as opposed to application windows. For instance, even IE7 doesn't show transparency. I find it strange that the Aero glass frame appears to only work partially for me. I would have expected that it would fully work, or not work at all. I'm using Intel's Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100, which came with my system.

A recent TV guide update appears to have resulted in a loss of all channels from 32 to 71. I have COMCAST (Portland, OR) and for over 1.5 years my guide updates have always shown Ch's 1 - 71. For the last 48 hours the upper channels are not even listed. My TV can still access those channels, so they haven't been dropped. I've rebooted & downloaded the most recent guide.
I've re-ran TV Setup & elected "No Guide" then rebooted & tried again, electing to use the guide, but still same results. I've been searching/reading 100's post trying to get an idea why this is suddenly happening and how to resolve. So, the guide is downloading & displaying channels, but not channels 32-71. Oh, I can manually add and access the missing channels, which will work in a pinch, but of course the channel lineup shows "no data available."

Need a software that will allow me to extract audio segments from a Dvd. I'm very new to CD/DVD RW so hopefully it won't be too complicated for me.

"no audi device installed, in volume mixer"
Im trying to help a friend fix their sound on their HP Compaq Presario F500 (2EA)Laptop. They have the annoying red cross over the audio icon on the bottom right hand corner of the screen (No Volume Mixer).
I have tried numerous things like:-
- Completely uninstalled the (Conexant High Definition) drivers in device manager, restarted and let Vista install them again.
- Downloaded latest drivers from RealTek,, and also HP
- Unfortunately their are no system restore points before the problem happened.
I have a sneaking suspision that either Windows Update installed something that is clashing with this problem or I herd that Itunes may have somethign to do with it (Which was installed near the time).

I have been talking to some local "techies" who are saying that in the very near future we are only going to be able to purchase the 64bit versions of MS products. I some how find this a little hard to beleive as there are still a lot apps. out there that are 32bit only. Has any one here heard of a push by MS to move everything strictly to 64bit.

I'm not sure which will run better on my system. I hear 64bit supposedly runs programs faster then 32bit does. i'm planning on getting vista ultimate. Also I play a lot of video games, i'm not sure if that would conflict with anything, and I also use a lot of programs (not specifically at once), though i heard 64bit can emulate 32bit only programs.

I'm about to toss out my 32 bit pentium and upgrade to dual or quad core. I'm not interested with buy a 64 bit vista this late in the game. I know that installing a 32 bit program on a 64 bit cpu is basically wasting 32 bits of cpu power. but if dual cores and quad cores use hyper threading, then would vista 32 work twice or 4 times as fast because the 32 bit o.s. will be hyperthreaded?

i recently got a new computer which came with a home premium 32bit. I know the computer can handle the 64 bit upgrade so i brought the upgrade CD from Microsoft. It says it can be upgrade anytime and when i put it in it, it come out with this message. "Setup cannot be run on this version of the Operating System. To install Windows please try booting from the install media." does anyone know how i should install it and why does it say it can't be run on this version of the operating system?

what is the max amount of RAM that Vista 32 bit will recognize? I ask this because I have 3 gigs of RAM currently on my 32 bit computer and I want to go buy some more. I found a good stick for under 20 dollars that I don't mind spending on. If I make my RAM go from 3 gigs to 4 gigs, will it recognize the extra gig? I heard that it will not recognize 4 gigs but I also heard that it won't recognize anything more than 4 gigs.

Got myself the Acer 5920 with the intel dual core processors. Every site says its 64 bit but still they installed the 32 version. For example, 3D Studio Max has 2 versions; 32 and 64 bit. The installer recognizes the 32 bit vista so it WONT install the 64 bit, but it does install the 32 bit version. Loading up the 32 bit version: it doesnt, error. Wrong processor.
So now I want to install the 64 bit vista. I got a dvd with it but whenever I run setup.exe or the autorun, it gives an error saying wrong os or summit (can look the exact error up when I'm home again) The question I already thin I know the awnser on: My pc can run vista 64 bit, right? Anyone else has issue's with 32/64 bit versions of software not running?
Or a solution how to install that 64 bit version? Booting didnt work, it doesnt see it as a bootable disc (I pressed F12, and when the pc boots it first checks the cd for a bootable disc) Im getting a new vista 64 dvd btw since the version I got was from a friend if ye kno wha I mean :P (wanted to test it before buying it, honnestly).....

I am currently using a vista ultimate 32bit machine for Photoshop drawings. As these images can become very large (up to 4gb in size) I am using my second drive as a scratch disk which slows thing down. My system has 4 gb ram but 32 bit only sees 3gb and I would like to utilize the extra gig and maybe add a further 2 or 4 gigs in the future - hence the upgrade to vista 64bit. Before I do, I have a few issues/queries.
1. I will buy a new hard drive to install the 64bit OS as a clean install and leave my 32bit OS on it's original disk incase it all goes horribly wrong. As I will now have three hard drives installed will this affect the installation of vista 64 bit? Will it interfere with the 32 bit versions boot sector?.... as I may need to swap back
2. I've read that vista 64bit has problems installing with 4gb ram installed. Is this true? Seems really odd if this is the case...............

I recently purchased an OEM version of Vista Home Premium 64bit. Stupid mistake, as my machine (AMD Athlon64 5600+X2 Dual Core, 4gb ram) can only run 32bit. Since I was already running a "lite version" of the 32bit software in my pc, I decided to enter the license key and activate the program. I have downloaded all updates available through WU, but so far no SP1. I checked the forum and followed some instructions about updating drivers etc in order to finally get SP1 through WU, but have had no success so far. Since my "lite version" is missing some components, I was wondering if there is anyway I can get the correct 32bit version from Microsoft, after all my license key should be go for both 64bit and 32bit.

Is there a big difference it the two? Would I really benefit with a switch to 64? What I have found out so far is that 64bit is better for graphics and video and not so much for applications. I just got my system in Feb of 2008, Vista 32bit, HP media center m8300f w/tv tuner, 3gigs ram, 640gigs hdd, 3.0ghtz AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ processor. I couldn't pass it up as it was a bundled deal w/monitor(HP) and a all-in-one printer(HP).

I recently just purchased a new Dell XPS M1730 laptop - it should be delivered in the next week or so. Apparently dell doesn't sell 64bit Windows - so I'm getting 32bit Ultimate from them. I have a 64bit ultimate DVD that I've used on my current desktop system - but was wondering if the key from the 32bit install is 64bit compliant? Or if I just got charged from Dell the extra cash for an OS I will never use if I buy my own 64bit vista OS? Anyone know if the 32bit CALs from Dell are 64bit compliant? I'd like to order whatever I need to have it in time for the laptops arrival.

I was ok for a a few hours, but something has caused my iTunes to stop operating properly. I can bring the app up. I can see the songs just fine. But, when I attempt to play them, nothing happens. They won't start. Either will a CD or a song sample at iTunes store, or a MySpace audio file, or my Band in a Box music software.
I keep getting a message that iTunes is NOT the default app for these files
(upon opening iTunes) but it is set to be the default. Config: Dell 2.8GHz, 4GB Ram, Vista 32bit, iTunes 7.6, E-MU 0404 external audio interface

I have been running the 64 bits version of Vista for some days now, but I am facing a lot of problems. A few weeks back, when i was still running the 32bit version of vista, everything ran smooth. I could game, chat on msn, browse with mozilla, and use my favorite code editor programs with no lockups, not freezes and no insane lagspikes / framedrops. A few days ago, I decided to reinstall my computer, because it was cluttered with useless stuff, and it gave me explorer crashes every now and then. I went for the 64bit version of Vista Business. That's where it all started. Running this OS, limits me a lot. I can either update my computer, browse, chat, play WoW, or listen to music, but I cannot do that at the same time, something I could when i was running the 32bit version. I have tried a lot of things. I made WoW run on my 2nd core and my iTunes on the first, I have tried the optimization tool from AMD, I have increased my vid card's memory, all without any success. When I run World of Warcraft, It consumes the whole second core, and around 95% of my RAM. On my 32bit OS, it used only 20% of both cores together, and 55% RAM. My hardware should be able to do this, and it has been done. But for some reason, the x64 OS doesn't seem to do any good.

I know this question has been asked, but in my opinion, never fully answered, depending of where I look. I bought a new system :PC 6400 RAM, MSI 8600GT Overclocked. Now, I plan in "some" foreseeable future to add another 2 GB of RAM but not now, and I don't mind reformatting and start from scratch at any time. Should I go 32 or 64 bit? All drivers are available for my stuff. Software too for the most part. I heard 32bit runs faster than 64, and sometimes the opposite. What should I do?

I own a x86 (32bit) original copy of Windows Vista Home Premium. Since my CPU is 64bit I'd like to use a x64 edition of Vista. My question is: can I use my 32bit serial with a x64 edition? Do I need to active it by telephone (since I already activate my 32b copy)?

I'm trying to run Heroes of Might and Magic 4 on Vista x64 Ultimate. But it gives me an error somthing like: can't run 32bit app. I thought WOW64 was able to run all 32bit apps, but I guess not. Or am I doing somthing wrong? I installed Microsoft Vitual PC and installed WinXP on this. Here I was perfectly able to run Heroes 4, so I think it's odd that the game can't just run in Vista x64.

I am running Vista 64 bit and it works well. I have an application that won't install and it happens to be one I need. The installer stops with an error that says 64 bit is not supported. I run lots of other 32 bit programs. Is there any way to install a program in a 32 bit "work space"?
