Connecting X-Fi XtremeMusic to 5.1 Surround Sound Sys

I'm trying to connect my Media Centre PC with Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic to my Samsung HT-UP30 5. Surround Sound System http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...62_UP30-GB.pdf?, which has the two aux inputs, which are standard phono connectors. There is also a Digital Optical Input, if that's any use.Currently I'm just using a normal 3.5mm Stereo Plug to 2 Phono Lead but this is only giving me sound to the center left and right speakers.Any suggestions?

If your system doesn't have an analog input with 5. connectors, you're limited to stereo via digital connection. Say "thank you Creative for not supporting digital surround on your cards"!
A sound card that does DTS or DolbyDigital encoding on the fly is what you need to have surround via digital connection.
A, you still can enjoy DVD's in surround via "digital pass-trough". This if you don't like the DVD player that you allready have . The bad part is that your system has only an optical input and your card doesn't have one. Turtle Beach has a sound card with what you need (DolbyDigital li've and optical out), but their EAX implementation (for gaming) is software and a little crappy. Still, it works.
Or you can buy a set of analog surround speakers for PC and connect those at your card. And sell the Samsung thingie.
Or you can buy a receiver with the analog 5. input and digital ones also - that's what I have.

How do I connect my Apple TV to my Philips surround sound DVD system?

I can't seem to get surround sound when watching Apple TV (or when watching live or recorded TV via my Virgin Tivo). I use a three-years old Philips DVD home surround system to get surround sound when I'm watching Blu-Ray (I have connected my Philips Blu-ray and my Philips DVD player without difficulty). But I can't figure out how to get surround sound whne watching Apple TV. I bought an optical cable with an audio jack on one end, to connect to the DVD player and the optical end clicks into the ATV. Still nothing. Any ideas?

The surround system seems to support digital audio - it has settings for HDMI audio and video (even though it doesn't actually have an HDMI port) I bought the optical/audio cable on the advice of a staff member in the Apple Store, but frankly, she didn't see, to understand my problem. She recommended I insert the cable into the "MP3 cable IN" port but that' not working.
I'm probably not explaining myself very well - bottom line: I have a DVD surround system and an Apple TV, so how do I connect them?

Connecting my MacBook Pro to my DVD Surround Sound Speakers?

I'm a student filmmaker in the UK and pretty much do all my video editing from my bedroom using Final Cut Studio. I am using a MacBook Pro3,1 (bought in 2007) and have recently decided that I want to start working in 5.1 surround sound.
As I have no surround sound speakers with my MacBook Pro, I was wondering if it would be possible to connect it up to my DVD surround sound system? This would ultimately save me having to buy a compatible set and having two lots of surround sound speakers around my room...
My DVD player is a Panasonic SC-PT150. The 6 surround sound speakers each connect to it through the standard +/- "clip-in" wire set up (which, obviously isn't compatible with my MacBook Pro). There are also two AUX sockets (one for Left and one for Right) on the back of the DVD player. So far, I have tried connecting my MacBook Pro to these sockets using a Mini plug to RCA cable, however, all I get is an incredibly loud humming noise.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might, either overcome this problem or, get the setup to work another way? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks both of you for your help.
It doesn't mention either of those connections in the manual, however, yes you are right, it takes digital input. I'll have to call and check if the toslink cable is compatible.
I tried connecting the mini-stereo-to-RCA cable to my Nokia phone (which is actually where the cable came from) and that plays through the DVD speakers just fine, when i select AUX mode. Although, as you said, it only plays stereo.
Say the mini-toslink cable is compatible, would I need to get a 5.1 surround sound card for my MBP?
Thanks again.

Help Connecting my laptop to my 5.1 surround sound with optical Ca

Hi
I have recently bought a new hp 9667ea Laptop which has a express card slot. So also decided to buy the creative blaster x-fi xtreme audio note book sound card. I?want to connect my laptop to my surround sound using a optical cable.
So after days of messing about I cound get the sound to come out the card using the headphones supplied but not through my optical cable also when rebooting my laptop with the sound card in it would freeze my laptop and was unable to get a internet connection.
I since found out this card only supports 2. throught the optical cable.
Now what I am after is a card that supports 5. and I am able to connect to my surround sound using a optical cable?
I know creative are bring one out that support 7. will this also be compatible with my 5..
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Scott

I connect mine via XBox 360 using a program called uShare https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UShare and it works brilliantly. However, I don't suppose you have an XBox or PS3, so you do actually have an option which is a VGA to HDMI converter. This is just one link I found for one http://www.amazon.co.uk/HDfury-1080P-HD … B000SOPWS8
It's fairly reasonable price, £57.80, I suppose if it works okay. You could always buy one and if it doesn't do what you want just send it back and get a refund.

ATV/Surround Sound Sys

New ATV2. Setup according to directions. Hooked into a Sony Bravia (2 yrs old) system via HDMI. I get picture, YouTube, everything but sound! Turned off Dolby setting (thanx Apple tech support). Now I get sound only through the TV speakers, not the surround system. Advice gratefully sought. Thanx to all.

I have a typical setup also using a Sony Bravia TV (KDL-46V5100) and a digital surround receiver that sounds similar to yours. I use the TV strictly as a video monitor and get the sound strictly out of my receiver which is always on when I watch TV. The Apple TV is hooked up to the TV monitor using an HDMI cable and to the surround receiver using an optical digital cable.
On the Apple TV, under the 'Audio & Video' settings I have 'Dolby Digital' set to 'On'; 'Audio Output' set to 'Auto'; 'HDMI Output' set to 'Auto'.
On the TV, under the 'Sound' menu I have 'Speakers' set to 'Audio System'. This turns off the internal speakers of the TV.
On the Receiver, since the optical cable is connected to the AV input, I have the AV source selected while watching TV.

No sound on surround sound sys

I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic card and need to know?where to connect the audio plug that leads to my 5. system. Line out has my computer speakers (2.) and I tried connecting the other plug to line-out 2 and then 3 but get no sound. The only way to hear a movie via my computer on my tv and 5. set-up is to use a 2for adapter in line-out with my computer speakers. ?

What kind of speakers are they exactly?
The X-Fi Xtreme Music has 3 outputs on the back of the card, if you are using analog 5. speakers then you should use those outputs.
Check this image of the card.
The outputs you need are:

Connecting to Surround Sound (Qosmio G20)

I am trying to connect my Qosmio G20 to my external surround sound sysytem via an amp.
As far as I know I have connected everything correctly, but I am only getting sound from my left speakers front and rear, no where else.
I have checked the speakers and all the settings I can think of on the laptop, is there something I am not doing in order to send the signal to all the speakers??
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Can I connect imac to HDMI and also Surround sound also through HDMI using the thunderbolt sockets via an adaptor into a HDMI?

I want to be able to connect my imac to my TV and Surround Sound, from what I have read the best want of doing this is both via HDMI. Before I go out and buy another adaptor for a second thunderbolt to HDMI I was wondering if this would work? I basically I want to be able to stream videos from Imac to TV with sound coming through surround sound and also when I am on itunes have the music come through the surround sound. At the moment I have an adaptor (thunderbolt to HDMI) which goes into the TV and a optical cable from TV into the surround sound, then I also have a 3.5mm from the imac to the Surround sound, but I find this lacks in quailty. Would upgrading to a HDMI work and be better ? Should I also look into an optical cable though I dont see how to connect this to the imac?

OK. From what I can tell here, the Sony HT-SF2000 has 3 HDMI inputs & one HDMI output, so the simplest hookup would be to connect the iMac to one of the the Sony's HDMI inputs via the Thunderbolt-HDMI adaptor, & connect the Sony's HDMI output to the TV's HDMI input.
Use the Sony like an HDMI input selector for the TV (plugging in your other HDMI devices, if any, to it). Use the HDMI input on it from the iMac for both movie & iTunes sound output, & for TV output for video. (You can even use the TV as a second screen for the iMac.)
If for some reason you want a separate input for the iMac's sound output, you can use the optical input on the Sony for that, with a TOSLINK cable connection to the iMac. You will need either a Mini-TOSLINK adaptor or a TOSLINK to mini-TOSLINK cable to connect to the audio output of the iMac.

Mixing 5.1 surround sound on MacBook Pro

I've recently connected my MacBook Pro (purchased August 2007) to my DVD player in order to play 5.1 surround sound through the DVD speakers.
This all works fine when I play a DVD on my Mac in surround sound.
However, the main purpose of setting up this connection was so that I could mix surround sound using Soundtrack Pro, and be able to preview the mix whilst mixing. Unfortunately, I've now realised that the Optical Out connection on the MacBook Pro does not support 5.1 mixing and that therefore I am going to need an external surround sound card.
I've read that products such as Griffin Firewave are good solutions to the problem, however, they only exist in America...
I was wondering if anyone knew of any UK products that they could recommend? So far I've only been able to find ones that connect through USB. Would this affect in any way what I am trying to achieve?
Thanks in advance for your help and support.

Thanks jgourd,
So what do I need to do to be able to mix in surround sound? So far, the only advice I've had from people (including people at the Regent Street Apple store) is to connect optically to my surround sound speakers. I think, generally, people are confused about MacBook Pro's ability to work with 5.1...
What connection should I be using instead of optical?
By the way, I've found that the Griffin FireWave product I was talking about is available on ebay for a very reasonable price. It plugs into the MacBook Pro by firewire and has 3 3.5mm stereo-mini-jacks outputting 3x2 (= 6) channels line level - so one for L/R, one for C/S and one for LS/RS.
Obviously these need to amplify into 6 speakers. Could I feed these connections to my DVD player? Or would I need to connect directly to a set of speakers?
I appologise if I'm asking stupid questions. But video editing is my "field" - the sound side is something I'm still aiming to get to grips with!
Thanks again for your help =]

Surround sound through HDMI?

All the new Mac models released in the past 12 months are supposed to be able to output multichannel audio through an HDMI connector. I have recently purchased a new MiniMac with an HDMI connector and was really looking forward to playing multichannel sound through one of my two Onkyo home theatre amplifiers. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. For one of the amplifiers (Onkyo TR SX576), the Audio Midi Setup application found an 8-channel device and named it TR SX576, but I was unable to get any sound played through the system.
For the other one, a slightly older model (TR SX506), which has a Samsung LCD attached, the Audio Midi Setup just reports HMDI (0in/2out) with "SAMSUNG" as the name. I can't output via the amplifier... it seems to just pass the audio though.
So, here's a simple question. Is there anyone who has succeeding in outputting multichannel sound via an HDMI cable to a home theatre amplifier? If so, what Mac, what amplifier? What is missing to allow Macs to talk with all home theatre amps via HDMI??

Hi levelg
levelg wrote:
Great. The only problem is that when I define 8channel sound, the amplifier doesn't do any surround sound processing, and so virtually everything that I can play on the Mac only comes out of two speakers . To get surround sound effects (Pro Dolby etc), I have to revert to 2ch-24bit and allow the amp to do the surround effects.
This reminds me of another question. Why on earth can't the Mac's Audio allow you to add surround sound processing directly?
I think the answer to your question is that using the HDMI would require the Mac to have an AC3 codec, which would take up to 6 channels of audio and then compress them into a Pro Dolby data stream which your amp could then decode. (This is actually the reverse of the "AC3 Codecs" that you might find available for download on the web). I believe that this software component would require a separate licence fee, and also might not work sufficiently fast in real time to avoid lip sync problems. It could also result in severe quality degradation in certain channels due to the amount of compression. You can't squeeze 6 channels into 2 and then back again without losing some quality along the way.
The result of this is that HDMI and TOSLINK connections from the Mac can play prerecorded surround sound from a DVD, etc, since this can be passed to the external decoder unchanged, but can't play audio generated on the fly by applications. (At least, that's what I've found - someone else might know differently)
I know from personal experience that it IS possible to buy an external USB 5.1 sound card to connect to a 5.1 audio system, and this will enable on the fly audio generation from applications. The same setup will also play surround sound DVDs, provided you use the alternative VLC DVD player.
All in all, the whole area of surround sound on Macs is extremely confusing! I'm worried that many users either buy the wrong equipment, or they buy the right equipment but then can't figure out the correct way to configure it. Such users inevitably end up frustrated and disappointed.

Hdmi to TV to surround sound??

I'm trying to hook a surround sound to my tv to play sound off an hdmi item but it seems like I can't get the hdmi connection to spit out audio to the surround sound system even though I have aux cords going in the audio space to the receiver. Is it because I can't have an hdmi converted to surround sound without a digital converter?

I don't know the brand off hand but I have an Xbox one hooked up to the tv and the video and audio come out of the TV now I'm trying get the audio to come out of a surround sound that's hooked up to the TV but no sound from the TV comes out unless it's in the av input like for my DVD player I've looked through the menu and it doesn't seem to have an external speaker that I can select for the av cables to play the sound out of the receiver unless it's on dvd. I'm trying to get the hdmi setting to come out on the surround sound

How can I connect my apple TV to my surround sound system without running any extra cables?

I have my Apple TV connected to my TV via HDMI. The TV is connected to an auxiliary box that outputs sound to house speakers. I don't want to run any additional wires because of the distance to my auxiliary box and the fact all my wires now run through the wall. Also the auxiliary box lacks any extra HDMI ports.
On cable, the TV sound plays surround sound, but on the Apple TV sound plays from the TV itself.
Is there any way to alter settings on the TV (LG LB6100 Smart TV) to change the sound source?

if you have a router and set it up for wifi and have ethernet plugged in then point your iPhone to that router and it will connect to the ATV.

HT1454 i connect my iPad to my tv with hdmi cable but the surround sound from the receiver is not working why is this?

i want to play my ipad on through my tv and receiver to get surround sound (not using the tv speakers) I connect the htmi cable to my tv and ipad do i need more cable to get my surround sound to play the audio? i thought hdmi did it all.

if you have a 6th or 7th gen classic, you'll have a have the video out cable from apple. only the 5th gen will play with a generic 3 connector video out cable.

How do I connect Apple TV and surround sound to my projector?

My current set up is that I have a projector connected to my Blu-Ray player. My surround sound speakers connect to my Blu-Ray player. They all came in the box together and the speaker wires all go into the Blu-Ray. Everything works perfectly.
However now I have bought an Apple TV and although I can play it through the projector, the sound is only through the projector and not the surround sound. I tried plugging the Apple TV in the HDMI in the projector and then connecting the Apple TV to the Blu-Ray via optical cable, but that didn't work.
In the back of the projector there is 1 HDMI port and an audio port but no optical port
In the back of the Blu-Ray, you have the speakers, the HDMI, the audio in and the optical port.
How can I connect everything so that I can use my Apple TV with surround sound?

The manual doesn't say anything an optical port on the BD ?
