After installing VISTA, all I get for Sound options is 2 channel Stereo Sound. The Settign in the Sound devices only allow me to select a 2 speaker setup. what good is 5.1 if VISTA wont let me use em!?
View 5 RepliesAfter months of flawless performance my WMC is acting up on one TV channel and I can't figure out why. The only change recently was that I enabled the DVD Library to be displayed with a registry hack as per a seemingly reliable article I read.
This is only happening the first time after I boot. I call up WMC and go to the TV Guide. If I select Channel 50 (only) it will not tune in and I get a screen that says "Cannot Play Program" "The channel may not be supported. If you cannot tune to any other channel, restart WMC or restart the computer, then try again"
If I then use the guide to go down or up one channel they play OK and returning to ch50 - it then plays fine. Very odd. The registry tweak was, I realised afterwards, unnecessary as I'm not using this machine as a media center anyway and I'm not sure what the original setting was.
I have a problem were I cant seem to get stereo mix I have tried everything but nothing works? here is the picture of my recording devices
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn previous OS I've pluged in my mic and go 'test test' and I would hear myself, in real time, through the speakers. Vista does not do this apparetnly To make matters worse, the mic will not feed through the stereo mix (because it wont come through the speakers?). I definetly have all this enabled, all hidden things revealed. I've rolled back teh drivers for the sound card, updated them, updated them again, shut down, restarted, tried a million different settings and STILL no mic for stereo mix or speakers. I can see the green bars going when I speak, and it works in programs like skype.
But this stereo mix is a big problem. I similcast an internet radio and TV show. In order to broadcast the audio from the music videos I play on the TV show over the Shoutcast radio server, I need stereo mix. However, I also need full use of my mic because a tv and radio show without a mic is pretty boring. Has ANYONE found a solution to this problem or should I just downgrade to XP, which runs my audio settings without hassle. I have Vista home premium 32bit on a toshiba laptop with a realtek high def audio soundcard. I am trying to use front jack mic but there is also a built in mic.
My Vista crashed. I am looking for a change the mic input for stereo-rear speaker output?. Also which can perform a system restore to an earlier date.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy friend & I is having some problems with our ram. We both have 4 gb, he's laptop shows 2.54gb ram availible. (Under System information) And mine shows the same amount, sometimes. What can course this? I'm running Vista Ultimate x64, and he's running Vista Home Premium x86. [A little side question. When a motherboard supports Dual Channel ram, does the ram have to be dual channel for it to run DC? And (if I have 2 ram dimms) do I put 1 in DIMM A1 and one in A2, or A1 and B1 ?]
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just read on another thread that my Phenom may not support triple channel. Does this mean we can't have 3 2GB sticks in the slots and we should get one more to even things up? (we had originally bought a 3 pack and I don't know if we can buy a single stick of that type here). I then read that having 4 sticks of DDR3 in can cause problems too - now I don't know what to believe
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy computer is new and it used to into the sleep mode. Now it says that there is something wrong with the ATA Channel 1 and the drivers may need updated. I am not sure what to do and I don't want to turn my computer off each night and I also don't want to download something harmful that I am not even sure what it is.
View 4 Replies View Related4GB Gets Cheap: 9 Dual-Channel Kits Compared. DDR2 SDRAM prices began dropping significantly last summer as the world prepared for DDR3-only Core i7 platforms, culminating in today’s ultra-low-priced, four-gigabyte dual-channel kits. For as little as $25, users of this older technology can step up to memory levels that had been reserved for only the upper echelon of last-year’s buyers.
Who needs 4.0 GB RAM? At these prices, does it really matter? Most systems eventually get clogged up with rarely used programs such as second or third instant messengers, redundant spyware blockers, and other once-useful tools that have become parasites while users, still mindful of the program’s former effectiveness, often don’t want to bother removing. The accumulation of junk can affect any operating system.
I own an Alienware Area-51 7500-R5 gaming desktop. I am upgrading to Windows Vista Ultimate x64. I am thinking to upgrade the RAM to 8GB. The only issue is that my system does not support Dual Channel RAM cards. Do they sell single channel RAM cards? I can't seem to find any. Another problem as well, I did a Crucial Memory Scan and it read: Maximum Memory Supported: 4096MB. Does this refer to that I cannot go over 4096MB because of my system or because of the Operating System I am running. I am running Windows XP Pro 32bit. I know 32bit can only process 4GB of RAM or 4096MB of RAM. But does the memory scan refer to the Operating System limit or how much my system can handle overall. When I bought it Alienware said I could do plenty of upgrades on it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Vista Home Premium. I have two Hauppauge 1600s and a Nvidia 8600GTS. I have been receiving all my local digital OTA channels just fine since getting this machine 6 months ago, and now suddenly the local CBS affiliate, channel 4.1, is gone. Just gone. Dead. I get nothing but the No TV Signal blue screen. When I go to settings and check the digital signal strength, it is totally dead. The dreaded red bar. All other channels come in at six green bars, just like 4.1 did until this past monday.
I have tried re-setting up the guide, I have tried recording one digital channel while trying to view 4.1 to check if it's just tuner 1. Both times I get the blue screen. I then took the cable out of one of the tuner cards and ran it directly into my TV and the signal comes in almost perfectly. Why is the signal suddenly gone on just one channel?
Sound functions but reciever is only detecting 2 channel output. Apon browsing RealTekHD audio properites I discovered that the only options for Digital Output(RCA) were all 2-Channel under "Default Format" tab. However my front pannel Audio Output Jack(HD Audio 2nd Output) has an extra third tab labeled "Speaker Configuration" and has options for up to 7.1 surround but these settings do not impact my Digital Output(RCA) channel. Now my reciever does have a multi-channel input that could take advantage of the Analog Outputs in the rear but the distance is to great and multiple wires are expensive.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have attempted to use the "Stereo Mix" or "What You Hear" recording feature found in previous versions of Windows with the new Vista Home Premium, but it doesn't appear under "Recording" sound devices (even when hidden and disabled are chosen to appear). Has this been removed in Vista?
