Audigy Value and Digital Out probl

I read the faq.
I have the Audigy Value card with the digital I/O mini-jack. I tried using a standard optical cable with an adapter mini-jack "cap" to pop on one end to plug into the sound card, and the other end into my digital in on my stereo. I still can't get any sound, is there some setting I am missing.
I pop in my Hercules sound card that has a normal type optical out and everything works fine without me messing with it, so I know it isn't the stereo input.

Fuzzylogic,

  • X-Fi XtremeMusic and Digital Out

    Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but here goes...
    I have a WinXP machine with an X-Fi XtremeMusic card that I would like to hook up to my Onkyo TX-SR600 receiver. The ideal situation would be to run a single digital line into the coax digitial input of my receiver. I would like all sounds to pass through the receiver and let the receiver do the decoding if possible.
    Do I need to hook up analog cables for the 6 channels in addition to the digital line?
    Thanks for any help,
    - James T

    No, just run the digital coax to the rec. If you don't have one, you will need a digital coax and a /8 mono to RCA adapter. Radio Shack has these items.
    If you play games and want surround sound, you will have to go to analog out. I acutally have both analog out and digital out. They work well.

  • Entering a Value and Tabbing out of af:inputListOfValues displays the wrong value

    Good morning. I am having an issue with the autosubmit and tabbing out of af:inputListOfValues in my code.
    Problem: When I type in a valid value and tab out of the field, it ignores the value I entered and displays whatever the first list in the query result instead regardless of the value I typed.
    My code snippet. What it does is simply an LoV search of Employee No attached to an entity attribute and depending on selection, it will display the Employee Name within the page. (it also retrieves a table view depending what employee number was entered)
    <af:inputListOfValues id="empNoId"
                 popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.EmpNo.hints.label}"
                  value="#{bindings.EmpNo.inputValue}"
                  label="#{bindings.EmpNo.hints.label}"
                  model="#{bindings.EmpNo.listOfValuesModel}"
                  required="#{bindings.EmpNo.hints.mandatory}"
                  columns="#{bindings.EmpNo.hints.displayWidth}"
                 shortDesc="#{bindings.EmpNo.hints.tooltip}"
                   binding="#{workLocationBean.txtEmpNo}"
                  partialTriggers="id1"
                 valueChangeListener="{bean.onEmpNoChange}"    
                 autoSubmit="true">
            <f:validator binding="#{bindings.EmpNo.validator}"/>
      </af:inputListOfValues>
    Other things to note:
    When I enter a valid employee number and click anywhere in the page (not TAB), it behaves correctly.
    I have been trying to figure this out for days. Even my valueChangeListener gets the wrong value (when I do System.out) when I tab out so I am not sure where to catch it and replace it with the correct value.
    Thank you.

    This usually happens when primary key is not set in view object used by LOV.

  • Audigy ES Digital out probl

    Hi, im trying to hook my Kinyo d565 speakers and decoder up to the digital out on my audigy soundcard.
    Now first off, the decoder has 3 inputs - analogue stero, digital RCA(coaxial), and digital optical.
    i've tried doing everything in audioHQ to get any sound out of my speakers (they work fine when i just use the line out on the sound card and the stereo input on my decoder).
    i've connected the digital out on the soundcard to the optical in on the decoder using a 3.5mm to toslink optical digital cable.
    i have no idea why im not getting any sound at all. is it my cable? - do i need to get a 3.5mm mono to RCA cable?
    any help would be greatly appreciated
    ps.
    i've tried all the things like selected 2 speaker output, disabling decoding of ac3 etc etc....

  • Audigy 4 and digital NAD L70 surround system - No surround?

    Hi guys and girls.
    I have a fine Audigy 4 sound card and an even more fine NAD L70 A/V surround system (DVD player and mid-powered surround amplifier - The baby brother of this one: http://www.nadelectronics.com/av_rec...73_framset.htm ).
    I have 4 speakers connected to the L70, 2 front and 2 rear.
    My problem is, that I cannot get any sound out of the rear speakers, when testing e.g. the Creative Speaker Calibrator.
    I've connected the computer to the L70 via the Digital Out on the Audigy 4 and the Digital Coaxial In on the L70.
    I've set the Input Selector to Cable/Sat.
    I've set the Speaker Configuration to
    - Front: Large
    - Center: None
    - Surr: Large
    - Sub: None
    I've set the Creative Speaker Settings to "4/4.1 Speakers".
    Where am I doing wrong? Why is it so hard to set up to work correctly?
    And why cant I find a "Digital Out Only" button as with my old SB Live! 5.1
    I've tried several (all?) possible combinations on the computer side and on the amplifier side, with no help.
    I can get music from the computer to go to all speakers by switching between the surround modes on the L70.
    Has anyone tried anything like this?
    Very best regards

    Lex,
    The information I gave Felix2 is not "horrible" or wrong, they are the truth. There is no need to start attacking again, if you are not clear on the information I gave in his thread, ask for more clarification, but do not attack.
    If you are having problems getting it set up, it's best to provide some detail on what settings you have changed, how everything is configured, and someone will probably be able to help you.
    The start of your post isn't very clear, do you have a standard Audigy 4 or an Audigy 4 Pro? The Audigy 4 Pro does have an optical output on the external dri'vebay, the standard Audigy 4 (just a card) does not have an optical output. You would need to connect through a coaxial input (minijack to RCA, then RCA-RCA).

  • Audigy 2 ZS digital out, 4 pole 1/8" adap

    Please help. I've been looking around for a while.
    I have the Audigy 2 ZS card. I want to use the digital out of the soundcard to connect to my 'coax in' of my component home theater system. I was reading and looking at the Audigy 2 ZS documentation, Chapter 'Connecting Speakers' and the sub-chapter 'connecting digital speakers systems.' It shows that I need a 4-pole /8 jack.
    I found this part on creative's store: is this the correct part to hook up a digital coax to my component system and get 5. surround sound?
    <IMG height= alt="" src="http://images.americas.creative.com/images/dot-clear.gif" width=3 border=0>
    /8 inch to Mini Din and RCA Adapter<SPAN class=legal>PN 0400005

    Optical and digital coax connections can't carry multichannel audio, only stereo. The only way to get multichannel via digital is if it is an AC3 bitstream. Creative also use a 4-pole connector that can carry multichannel digital but your speakers must have a digital DIN connection to use this feature. Otherwise for games, you must use the analogue connections. For your movies, you can use your digital connection, but you must select SPDIF output in the DVD software and select SPDIF pass through in the soundcard options. This way your speakers will decode the AC3 bitstream.
    You might want to look at this: http://us.creative.com/support/kb/ar...p?l=2&sid=5035
    A suggestion to Creative moderators: I think it would be a good idea for Creative to supply a guide with the sound cards and speakers on the various types of connections. Stuff like the capabilities/limitations of each connection and details on AC3 and the way games output audio. There seems to be so many people confused by the multitude of connection possibilities (I was at first).

  • Creative Audigy 2 ZS digital OUT connector compatibility with Bose Lifesytle Series

    Hi all,
    I am a SoundBlaster fan and have been using their SB cards for a long time.
    I recently got a new SoundBlaster 2 ZS Card from my friend, I hooked it up to a 5. Logitech Speakers (analog), it works fine.
    I tried connecting it to my Bose LifeStyle (35) Series II system.
    I bought a Phono plug to /8" Mono Plug Cable and connected the Digital Out (of Audigy) to the Coax digital-In of Bose System.
    There's no sound.
    I tried many combinations like,
    SPDIF passthru,
    Changing Sampling Rate
    Re-installing the Drivers
    I know well that the BOSE system works fine, as I am using the Digital Coax connector to connect to my DVD Player and I also connect it to the SPDIF connector on the ASUS System (onboard 5. audio). I have'nt faced any problems there.
    The only difference between the DVD Player / ASUS system and Audigy is the the first two use a standard SPDIF while Audigy does not.
    I am wondering if this connector difference is a problem or is it a compatibility issue between Bose Lifestyle 35 and Audigy 2ZS.
    I am posting this to see if anyone had similar experience, or have any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Bobby

    Hi everybody, I have a similar question:?I'm building a mediacenter pc, and I need a Creative audio card for carry out 5. surround signal from the pc to my Bose Lifestyle SPDIF connector... case is similar to above, except for I don't have a Soundblaster card embedded in the motherboard... ?I've read something in the Forum, but still can't figure out which sound card should be the best for me AND which cable should I use to connect them... Any help will be really appreciated...
    Many thanks and sorry for my english... :smileytongue:

  • GD580 + Audigy 2 ZS + Digital Out 5.1 = only stereo

    Alright, I didn't think this would be so complicated, but maybe it is. I just purchased a Creative Inspire GD580 5.1 surround speaker setup. I have an Audigy 2 ZS PCI sound card. I want to connect the digitial out to my speaker setup using the digital out on my Audigy 2 ZS. My main reason for the surround setup is for gaming. So far I have only been able to get stereo sound with both gaming AND DVD movies.
    Anyone who can enlighten me on how to do this, I would be very grateful.
    Thanks!

  • Audigy 2 ZS digital out working in Vist

    I can't listen anything with the digital out in vista, everything is coneted well and selcted optical out in speakers by default.... anybody working? please how to?ThanksMessage Edited by egde on 02-26-20070:44 PM

    There are two types of transfering methods for digital signal - optical (fiber) and coaxial (wire).
    If your card is plain A2Zs (no external Dri've or Digital I/O then, you're trying to get signal passed to external device through fiber cable (optical) when your connection type in Audigy is through wire (coaxial).
    You need to use normal cable as like [mini jack plug] --> [RCA] (if you use std stereo mini jack plug to 2 x RCA cable, the tip is the hot in plug --> white RCA (I quess).
    If your receiver does not have coaxial input for ext. sources then you need to get the Digital I/O from Creative or some othr coaxial to optical converter.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Digital out not work

    Can someone tell me what "The Digital out from the soundcard is of electrical type and not optical type so you can't use optical cable with the Digital output jack directly" (taken from another post) means. Trying to get the Digital?output acti've on my card but no sound comes out not even the tell tail red light from the cable. If i'm missing something someone please tell me. Whats the defference between "electricial and not optical type" mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Difference between audigy value and sound blas

    Since i am unable to find comparisions between soundblaster 24bit and AudigyValue in site , Anyone can give me the difference between these two ?

    Other than the name, not much. Both cards lack the EMU0K/2 chip, and have to do all processing in software (cpu processing instead of on the card). Oh yeah and the Audigy SE has newer drivers than the Value (and will probably install on the SB 24 bit).
    All things considering if you are looking at a card for gaming (or just about anything else) avoid both of them.

  • Audigy Value and low profi

    Hi,
    I was looking for an sound card which I can use in a case with low profile slots. So I found the Creative Audigy Value. I think the height of it is ok but it seems that there is no low profile bracket for it. Can I use this sound card in such cases nevertheless?

    yes i have just bought the sound blaster audigy SE, not sure whether thats slim edition or slow or something but anyway its a half height card. I've been using the card unbracked for about a week with no trouble. If you are moving the PC about a lot it might flop from side to side about a bit but should be fine.

Maybe its possible to set SPDIF passthrough somewhere else?

    Ok, well...can anyone tell me, for certain, which cards work with SPDIF passthrough in Vista? I really need this working, and if I have to buy another card, that would suck, but I need it for my htpc.
