2.1 speaker setup on the SoundBlaster Live24 Extern

I have a 2. speaker setup but I can not figure out how to configure the Li've24 for 2.

I have a pair of Swans M-200's and a Totem Thunder Subwoofer. I have the Swans plugged into the front L+R output and the Subwooder plugged into the Sub/Center output on the Li've24 external. When I select 2/2. speaker output it only shows me the left and right speakers and the test tone will only produce sound out of the front left and right speakers and not the subwoofer. When I click on the "Bass Managment" tab everything including "Bass Redirect" is greyed out. The only way thus far I have been able to get the subwoofer to work at all is if I select 5. then the test tone will produce sound out of the subwoofer.

5.1 Speaker Setup not stick

I just recently got a set of Logitech X-530 speakers. My sound card is the Soundblaster Li've! 5. card. I have verified that I've got the speakers plugged in correctly. I went to the speaker setup in the Creative software and set it to 5. (without digital output). At this point everything works great. However, after I reboot my computer the speaker setup goes back to 2 speakers. I have verified (using Creative's Auto-Update Acti'veX Control) that I have the latest drivers for my sound card. Is this a SB issue or a Windows issue? What do I need to do so that my computer will remember my speaker setup?Thanks.

Also, after I've set the speakers to 5., I can go into Control Panel\Sounds and Audio Devices and the speaker setup is configured properly in there. As far as I can tell everything is ok. Until I reboot. Then it reverts back to 2 speakers.
It's more of an annoyance issue than anything else. Since I can go into the settings and switch it back. I would just rather not have to do that everytime I reboot my machine.
On Speaker Settings, not on Surround Mixer.

Will Creative Ever Support The 6.1 Speaker Setup In Vista?

The subject line says it all. I'm disappointed that I have a 6. speaker setup with my X-Fi card that worked great in Windows XP, even the x64 edition. Now since I've updated to Vista, the rear center speaker is no longer enabled. I know the current driver set has a note on this, but just wondering if we will ever get 6. surround support again.

No, because Microsoft doesn't support it.
I'll elaborate on that a bit for you. The 6.1 surround setup is not supported in Vista. This means that (barring some bizzare workaround/emulation effort by Creative), you won't see 6.1 in Vista no matter what sound card/onboard chip you use. It's not up to Creative. Sorry. Microsoft could re-introduce 6.1 with a Vista update. I don't know if it's feasible to do so, but I wouldn't expect anything till Service Pack , as my guess is that would require some major sound architecture changes.

Speaker Setup

Hi, i got a Soundblaster Elite Pro and the T7900 Speaker-Set. Unter WinXP i can setup my Speakers with the Programm Speakersetup. I can set the Volume (db) for every Speaker seperatly.
I missed the Programm or Function under Windows Vista64. In installed the lastest Drivers.
Where i can set the Speakersetup or i need install a programm from the Creative Webseite?
Or is this Function under Vista64 not availible?
Thanks a lot.

Keep in mind that the speakers have to be powered in order to plug them directly into the AX. If they are not powered, like if they are not computer speakers, but wall or ceiling speakers or regular stereo speakers, then they will need to go through a receiver first (in order to get powered) and then from your receiver and into your AX. This requires the apple stereo jack or cheaper equivalent found at most Radio Shacks.
I also have Verizon with AX and two sets of JBL ceiling speakers that run into Denon receiver and then into the AX. Love it! I have two separate locations of speakers and use the A/B speaker button on the receiver to determine where in the house the music is piped in. This prevented me from having to purchase two AX's. Now naturally, I have to manually make the switch if I only want the music in one room or another. Usually I leave it on for both areas (one is indoor and one is outdoor).
Good luck and enjoy!

Simple speaker setup for ATV?

I understand if I get bumped because this post isn't ATV-related... But I argue that other ATV users might find this thread helpful. So...
I purchased a new HD TV, one that I will use solely with Apple TV. I want better audio than the built-in speakers. Since I'm not going to need AM/FM radio, CD player, etc., I don't need or want a traditional AV receiver.
I want a 2-speaker speaker setup that can accept an optical audio connection (from the Apple TV)... and that's it. I've seen computer-type speakers that accept a 2.5mm audio cable, from the headphone-out of the computer. The audio signal runs to one speaker, which is the "parent" speaker -- it accepts the audio from the computer, the power input to the speaker system, and then an audio cable that runs audio to the other speaker. I want the same setup... except that it sends an optical audio signal.
Does anyone know of a speaker system that will do this? I don't need all of the bells and whistles of a traditional receiver/speaker setup. Many other Apple TV users out there might have the same, simple needs.

I want a 2-speaker speaker setup that can accept an optical audio connection (from the Apple TV)...
This may be much more than you want, but is I believe what currently replaces my Logitec Z680 which I am still using on my old PPC G5. It is a 505 watt RMS optical input amplified speaker system with 5.1 DD/DTS/Pro Logic II decoder built into the control head. Believe the street price is in the $325-$350 range if interested.

Two speaker setup, Audio is strange please he

It appears that my speaker setup has some how gotten corrupted, as my bass only shoots out of one speaker and the audio for both the left and right channel only kicks out of the other speaker. Seeing as my speaker setup up is only a two speaker setup I would like the bass and audio to be coming out of both speakers as it was originally. I've checked and my speaker setup is set to two stereo desktop speakers so I don't know what I should do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. My cpu is running a Sound Blaster Li've card.

That said, the laptop speakers are playing stereo.
Hello. that would suggest that the integrated audio system is working okay and that the problem is in the jack or external device. There is no processing that I know of that would send 2 channels to the speakers but combine them into one channel into the jack.
If you want to replace the jack you would replace this I/O circuit board.
For a workaround there are many inexpensive usb audio jacks available.
If you want to test some more, switch to the Windows native audio driver.
1. Open the Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the Windows search box).
2. Expand the "Sound, video & game controllers" and right click on "IDT High Definition Audio Codec".
3. Select to "Update Driver Software".
4. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
5. Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
6. Put a check in the box "Show compatible hardware" if not already checked.
7. In the list of devices, click "High Definition Audio" (the native driver).
8. Click "Next".
9. On the Update Driver Warning box, click "Yes" (install the driver).
10. Restart the laptop if prompted. If not prompted, then no need to restart.
[To get back to the IDT driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1 and 6.]
If it doesn't work with the native driver then it is pretty surely hardware failure.

Also, the balance feature in settings is working and allows me to selectively control the volume of the two external speakers.Which suggests it's how sound files is being processed rather than the output jack itself.
If you still feel that it is a software issue could perform a system recovery. Doing so will fix the issue unless it is due to hardware failure.

SP-DIF 5.1 with the soundblaster Live! Exter

I bought the Soundblaster 5. surround External (http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=206&product=0702 ) to connect my surround receiver (with every standard imaginable, DTS DD DTS:NEO etc) digital with just one coax cable to my laptop. I want to view my movies and dvd with dolby digital on my laptop with the surround setup. I read the faq but just can't find the spdifpasstrough function. So can anyone tell me where to look?

I have the same unit and struggled for 5 hours. There is no optio for spdif output that I could find and you don't need it. It should automatically send the signal. If you are not getting 5. in your receiver then it is another issue, one I posted on avs forum but I'll repeat briefly here. If you have installed cccp or a codec pack that includes ffdshow then that could be your issue. I'm sure there is an option in ffdshow for spdif output but I couldn't find it so I removed it and that solved my problem. Also, make sure you go into your settings in whatever program you are using and click spdif output....also make sure this is selected in your sound settings. Thos solved my problem so I'm hoping it solves yours...if not post here and I'll check back.

How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?

:How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?Y Two days ago I bought a Soundblaster Audigy SE-retail soundcard. I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP-SP3 and Windows 7 RC. The installation of the soundcard?in Windows XP was easy, no problems, good sound.
But how to install in Windows 7 RC ?
I have the installation and applications CD with XP and Vista drivers and I have the driver-download from Creative.com SB24PCDRV LB 0 - 04 - 0090.
Windows 7 tells me "No device for audio output is installed". Windows automaticly?installed a driver, but that doesn't work. (code 39). The driver download from?creative does not install new drivers and when I try it manually Windows tells me "The best driver is already installed"
When I uninstall?the driver that Windows installed and try to install the downloaded?creative driver for Windows 7, the driver will not install, and Windows message is something like "?no audio device is installed on this computer"
What to do ? A computer without sound is nothing...
Thanks,
Arie

>Re: How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?% Meocene is 00% on the money. Dan K.'s pack is the best. I have used the pack on four different systems with AUDIGY LS and SE cards that I bought cheaply (all four on Ebay for $40). The package has worked under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 very well.
I have friends that play Left4Dead and they have been immensely pleased when playing the games in their flats with or without headphones, as compared to their old "onboard RE--t-k" sound.
The package also works well on a Gateway or HP machine when disabling onboard audio first then installing the Audigy and installing drivers and apps for the first time. Gi've up on using your old CDs, you will only run into a mountain of trouble trying to "Auto-Update" all that with the newest patches.

You can go to Settings/iCloud and delete the account, then create a new iCloud account. You can still use the same account for the app store though.

I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal? I can plug it into my computer and it works and I've click the restore button that comes under the nano's summary when it's plugged in. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store. Let them see what you are seeing. Only this time............
Prior to leaving the Apple Store: ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard - Bluetooth setup sees the keyboard but then green light flashes and it won't pair

I am desperately hoping someone can help me out here...
I have a 1st generation aluminium Apple Wireless Keyboard — the one that needs three batteries, as opposed to two — and it refuses to pair with any of my three Macs.
I was originally using it — for a few years — on an old G4 Mac Mini running Tiger then later on, Leopard.
I recently sold the Mini but in the days leading up to the sale some strange things were happening with the keyboard ...the number '7' key became non-responsive 90% of the time and the Keyboard Viewer app showed it as being constantly pressed down. Every other key was working 100% ok.
Fast forward a few days after the sale of my Mini: Now when I try to connect the keyboard to any of my other Macs, the Bluetooth Setup sees the keyboard no problem at all but when I click 'Continue' to go the the pairing stage, the process just keeps failing!
Whenever I turn my keyboard on I get the expected solid green light for two or three seconds, but after that the keyboard's green light keeps repeatedly blinking until I turn the keyboard off again.
I did notice that the Bluetooth Setup will only ever see the keyboard in those first few seconds when the light is a solid green ...if I wait until the lights starts blinking and then start up the Bluetooth Setup, it does not see the keyboard at all.
If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be enternally grateful!!!! ...especially as I was recently made redundant — that's 'Laid-off' for any Americans reading this! — and I would rather not have to buy yet another expensive Apple keyboard when I'm jobless and really should not have to!!!
I read about a lot of people who's Macs sinply don't see their keyboard, but it's extra frustrating for me as my Macs do see the keyboard but won't bloody well pair with it!
Thanks again to anyone taking the time to read this!

The keyboard and mouse should have come from the factory already paired to the Mac. But if it didn't see this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809
