Author Topic: Hard Drive Noise in speakers David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-07-2005 09:31 PM                        It was posted here that Creative was supposedly purchasing 60% of THX. I can't seem to find confirmation though. The founder of Creative Labs, Sim Wong Hoo, is on THX's Board of Directors, or at least he was in mid-2004 according to Usa Today. quote: Sim is on the board of THX, a spinoff of director George Lucas' Lucasfilm entertainment company that specializes in sound. "He's so technical, and I'm not," says Lucasfilm Chief Operating Officer Micheline Chau, who sits with Sim on the THX board.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-07-2005 09:39 PM                     quote: OBTW Mark... it looks like we already have a "Blow-it-out-your-ass" smilie: = Oooookay Phil......  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-07-2005 10:24 PM                        Please delete this post k thanx  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 09-08-2005 01:55 AM                        My computer speakers are THX certified. That means Lucas will take me out to dinner if he does a surprise inspection of my computer setup. Then he will offer one free BJ after dinner, but any more than that and I'll have to get my crotch THX certified.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-09-2005 03:20 AM                     Hey Richard (...been quiet over there... ...)What'd you come up with on your sound problem on the computer thingey? Soundcard issues, amplifier issues, or that frikken little 1/8th inch output plug on the Creative amplifier device having a slight open in the ground lead, which is picking up some ground noise, or the ground sleeve in the soundcard is breaking contact with the plug, resulting in some ground noise, causing the left channel to get a little crazy? Just could never get over with soundcards having rinky-dink 1/8th output jacks, instead of good ol' RCA's. I know that the more pricer soundcards DO have RCA I/O jacks... Shoot, if you play it right, one can use USB for, at least, input from an outside source....instead of that rinky-dinky 1/8inch imput jack...(LOL) -Monte  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Remove the driver and tell Windows to uninstall the card. Reboot and reinstall the drivers.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-09-2005 09:47 AM                     Monte, I tried all that. I'll try the driver reinstall Darryl  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-27-2005 02:14 PM                     A Little update. I upgraded my speakers to Logitechs x-530 system. Problem solved. Now to save up for a non creative soundcard.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-27-2005 11:40 PM                     ..good luck then. Yep, sounded like the power amp stage of your old setup was getting ready to take the big stinky dump then, if this Logitec system cleared things up... ..put your old speaker system up at the Fun-Lan flea market this weekend...  |  IP: Logged
