Dtt3500 and Audigy Gamer, digital output only 2 channel unless its D

Ok I recieved a response concerning my last comment but unfortunatly it did not answer my question at all. I have a DTT3500 and a sound blaster Audigy Gamer hooked up with the digital out to the /8 din adapter. I try the advanced 3d demo that came with the Audigy software and I only hear the front 2 channels, no center and no rears. The demo where you move the little icons and sound moves along with it. I have 5. activated in my windows control center along with audioHQ and digital out only is selected. my DTT3500 has 4./5. digital selected along with dolby digital/pcm audio and digital in. I am not getting the effect of multisurround at all. My center works and my rears work because playing music I can use all 5 speakers. When I use the analogue outputs I hear multisurround from the advanced 3d demo but my center doesnt work. The analogue setup sounds better but without a center channel its useless to me. Am I doing something wrong? I am using the adapter and digital DIN, what gives? The only reason I noticed I wasnt getting surround was while playing games nothing comes from behind you even on 5. games. The goldmine demo doesnt even work right, when the bird flys behind you it disappears but there is still sound from the rears. Analogue fixes this without a center but the manual and setup say to use the digital din. Do I just have a setting wrong? I would like to experiance the full capacity of multispeakers in my games.

Dennis,
With these speakers the connection that I would suggest would be to use the Digital out on the back of the sound card into the DIN Input on the DTT3500's. This will require a converter cable for /8'' Minidin to standard DIN which can be purchased from here:

You will also need a standard DIN cable (one should have shipped with your DTT3500's).
This should give you 5. with digital output only enabled on the Audigy.

  • 5300D and Audigy Gamer

    Ok I have a problem. I am trying to run a 5.1 surround through the 5300s speaker setup. It was working when I first set it up but now I am having issues. I recently installed teamspeak and Battlefield 2 so I started using headphones but today I wanted to run a 5.1 again and for some reason the card will not recognize anything but the headphoes and the microphone. All the speakers work i've heard music from all of them. There is only port producing audio. The other one produces the microphone. I have enabled 5.1 through windows but have not got any luck. Any suggestions?

  • Toggle 'digital output only"--Is there a way to create a shortc

    Hi,I have Audigy SE with Digital I/O module. I run optical cable from the digital i/o module to my home theater. I also run 3.5 mm cable from green output of audigy card to my vintage 995 Altec Lansing analog 2.0 speakers. The idea is to be able to switch to little speakers and still hear the computer while the wife watches the television. The downside is that switching requires going through the control panel and several steps to un-check the digital output only box in the Audigy properties. Is there a way to write a program to toggle the digital/analog output from a single desktop shortcut/button?ThanksB

    Check the source code of gegeg's fix for digital-out resetting (it's a sticky thread). The program turns on the digital out but it can be modified to toggle it.

  • AUDIGY 2NX DIGITAL OUTPUT PROB

    I purchased Audigy 2nx USB box and i'm using it for playing my musical instrument connected through line-in. Now the SPDIF coaxial output is not functioning when line-in inputs are used and the second problem is when the line-in input is used the EAX effects are not functioning for line-input source.So is there any solution for this two problems?

    No one knows where:
    With the "digital output only" set on the Analog Speaker Properties Custom tab
    is located at in window 7? i don't see this option anywhere. I had this option for XP.
    Definately frustrating.

  • No "Digital Output Only" opti

    Hey guys, I have an Audigy 2 Value, and I am trying to output via the digital out, I have the mono to coax cable and everything ready into my receiver but I don't have the option in my controls to tick "Digital Output Only", which is what I have heard I have to do?
    Anyone have any ideas why it isn't there? Or how I can get it there?

  • Solution to my Audigy 4 Digital Output probs... please make a stic

    I was recently playing Q3TA with my son when my overheat protection kicked in. I exited to windows to see the temp and throttle back my CPU a tad, and when I returned I had no sound from my digital output. Analog was working fine, however.
    Setup:
    Giga-byte GA-MA78GM-S2H w/780g chipset
    Athlon 64 X2 5000+ BE
    Integrated Realtek HD audio (disabled)
    Integrated ATI HD 3200
    2xGB 800MHZ DDR2
    Creative Audigy 4
    Boston acoustics Digital BA735 2. speakers
    I went over every setting in all of my consoles, HQ's and drivers. I played with driver versions, DirectX versions, diagnostic programs and procedures in the knowledge base. In defeat, I even wiped out my XP install and started fresh with the Aud-4 removed, using analog on the integrated card thru headphones. Then I disabled the integrated card and reinstalled the Audigy 4 only to find that there was still no sound from the digital speakers.
    Solution?
    I[color="#ff0000"] unplugged the power to my speakers, and reconnected everything. As soon as the power was back up, the sound started playing (I had a .MP3 on for testing).
    This stumped me for two reasons that occur to me know:
    . These speakers (and possibly many others) don't fully power down when you turn the volume knob off and the light on the satellites goes out. The decoder and subwoofer unit keep their light on.
    2. Apparently, some situations introduce a faulty signal to the digital output that scrambles the speaker units and they refuse to operate any longer.
    Now I know, unplug the power to my speakers. My system works on all three sampling frequencies in "audio console" 44., 48, and 96KHz. None of the troubleshooting procedures touched my problem, because they didn't even mention the speaker setup, let alone doing a hard reset.
    Please please please!
    Make this a sticky for future me!!!

    The Digital output jack on the card isn't of optical signal type.....you will need to get those I/O module mention bt johnston2 for optical connection.

  • No internal speakers | digital output only | red light from audio jack

    I plugged in a stereo through analogue mini jack to the headphone socket of my mac book pro. When i unplugged the stereo, the internal speakers failed to work. There is now a red light coming from the jack as if a "digital output" is plugged into the socket. But no digital output has ever been plugged into the socket - and I have no control of mute or volume settings.
    When I plug headphones in, they work fine and I have control of mute and volume settings. Once the headphones are removed I am automatically set back to "digital output" with no control over mute or volume, and no audio from m internal speakers.
    I have tried changing the settings in system preferences/sound/settings/output ... but there is no option other than "digital output". I suppose I would like to select "internal speakers" but there is no option for this. And like I stated earlier, the jack is lit up red.
    I've tried software updates, restarts, disk utilities (permissions and repairs including repairing with the startup disk), plugging and unplugging, but to no avail.
    When I try to change the volume on the keyboard's volume controls I get the "no entry" sign under the volume bar and have no control (as if it were stuck on mute).
    The only thing I can think of is that I forced a mini jack into the headphone socket too hard so I'm worried that I've damaged the hardware.
    Could this have caused the problem? Or is this a software issue? Any help would be appreciated.
    In short I have no sound from the internal speakers.

    Same here. I don't remember doing anything out of the ordinary. I was working in Parallels on getting a AM station to stream via some web interface. Next time I went to play sound on the internal speakers, no go.
    I've tried zapping the PRAM, toggling the headphone jack and the toothpick thing. Nothing seems to work.
    I've also noticed that I get sound in my headphones in iTunes but not in Garageband (someone had suggested that starting up Garageband would reset things.
    Any other ideas out there?
    Is there a file that could get corrupted that I could switch out of my back up?

  • PCI 6014 and BNC 2110 digital output

    Hi,
    I try to use PCI-6014 through BNC-2110 to giving on a digital output 5V.
    Please give advice or examples.
    Thanks

    First, there's the Getting Started with DAQmx. Then on the Measurement I/O>DAQmx palette is the DAQ Assistant. Also, open the example finder and from the main tab, go to Hardware Input & Output>DAQmx>Digital Generation. The simplest examples are Write to Digital Port and Write to Digital Line.

    I just got my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago and I love it so so so much but now today I can't hear anyone unless its on speaker and they can't hear me. I heard apple is better to talk to about this other than Verizon. I was wondering how much it'd cost to replace it from apple??? PLEASE HELP. I'm so desperate.

    Did you try a hard reset on the phone by holding the power button and the home button for more than 10 -15 seconds?  Then try to make a call.

    start the creative surround mixer, and take a look at the top of the master slider.(a red cross) press it and voila...
    or just read the manual that came with the card , normally it's useful to read a manual.

  • Digital Output problem once again (WIN XP, Audigy

    I searched the forums with no luck, actually I searched the whole internet with no luck - so far.
    My problems in a nutcase:
    - I can't find the button for Digital Output (the one which enables it, Windows XP's sound mixer used to have that option with some ?windows build?, but I can't find it since I installed creative drivers, it's just gone...).
    - If I find the digital output on-button with your help, is it even possible hear music with add-ons trough digital-optical cable or should I buy some mono-cable? :O
    To be specific:
    I have the Creative Audigy 4 Bulk, which of course supports SPDIF Digital output. I bought expesi've optical cable that I could finally use my hifi 5. speakers with movies trought computer. I have new 700 euro amplifier, and it supports everything, so the problem isn't with that one, anyways, let's get touch with the real problem.
    What ever drivers I'm using, I can't find the digital output section anywhere. Creative drivers has one SPDIF-button, but it affects nowhere. So, I can't even get the Digital Sound on, because windows mixer has no button for that with my windows xp, weird. I also tried to install windows vista, and there wasn't either any options, where I could put the digital output on.
    Which drivers and which add-ons should I install to get that Digital Output to work.
    If I manage to find the button for digital output from some drivers, can I also listen music while it's connected via optical-digital cable, or am I just able to hear sound from dolby digital movies? Is it even possible to get everything work with my optical cable (music/games and movies at the same time).

    . Your card doesn't have optical output, only "coaxial" digital. You will need a stereo (or camcorder) cable with one mini jack on one end and 2 (or 3) RCA connectors on the other. The white RCA will be the one you need.
    The setting is on the "Creative AudioHQ" at the "Surround Mixer" selection. It is called "Digital Output Only". Or if you use the little icon on the taskbar, at the "Speakers" on "Speaker Selection" you have the same option (a check mark under the selection of speakers).
    2. If you read the FAQ, you will get surround sound (5.) ONLY from DVD-Video that are encoded in DolbyDigital or DTS and ONLY if you pass-trough the digital signal to the receiver to do the decoding. In ALL other cases you will get STEREO PCM signal.
    3. If your receiver is a decent one you should have an analog surround input (5. analog input). in that one you can plug the analog outputs from your card in order to have surround sound all the time (like in the games).

  • Cannot get 5.1 sound using Audigy 2, SPDIF output, coaxial cable, Digital/DTS recei

    I'm having trouble getting my receiver to play 5. sourround signals from my Audigy 2. The receiver has all the required decoding options (DTS, Dolby Digital, etc.), I have a coaxial digital connection from the Audigy to the receiver, I've selected "Digital Output only" and set the Audigy to bypass the ac3 decoder (SPDIF output). However, the receiver only ever detects the front left and right channels. I've tried lots of tweaking (speakers settings, decoder settings), but still cannot get a multi-speaker sound.
    If I'm using the Audigy's built-in ProLogic system to simulate 5. output from standard stereo sources (wav, mp3, etc.), should this not result in a 5. signal being transmitted to the receiver over the coaxial digital cable? Still, no luck when I try this.
    I've read that it's not possible for the Audigy to transmit 5. signals over the digital output -- it can only decode them and pipe them to the analog 6-speaker outputs. Is this true?
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Glad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing such pain with this card.
    After 3 connectors, I have my SPDIF of my Audigy 2 ZS connected to my Recei'ver and passing sound. However, it is NOT passing the 5. AC3/DTS stream. Playing a movie through Media Center 2005, if Dolby Digital 5. is selected, I hear the movie, but the Recei'ver does not indicate it is in Dolby Digital (like when I play it through my standalone DVD Player). When selecting DTS in the Audio Options of the DVD Menu, I hear no sound at all.
    I have a minijack to RCA Stereo connector with a Digial Coax cable going from the White connector to my Recei'ver Digital Coax Input.
    I have set the Device Decoding Options for SPDIF Passthrough.
    What am I missing? This is going on a week now to get something going that worked right out of the box with a $40 DVD Player. And the $40 DVD Player sounds better than this $00 sound card....because it passes the AC3 stream flawlessly.
