5.1 analog sound for games with dtt2500

Hello,
For the sound on my PC, I have the material following, illustrated by the images below: an audio sound card Crative X-Fi extreme PCI express OEM connected with my decoder Crative Desktop Home Theatre 5.1 (which manages digital Dolby but not DTS) itself connected with my 5 HP and my subwoofer.
For the sound of a DVD, no concerns, thanks to an adapter, I can connect the optical grip of my sound card with the grip AC3 SPDIF of my decoder and obtain a digital sound dolby in 5.1.
On the other hand, for the resulting sound of video games, I do not know one single which take advantage of 5.1 digital but only 5.1 analog. I know thus how to connect my sound card via the black links (rear) and green (front) in my decoder to obtain an ANALOGICAL sound in 4.1. But impossible to obtain a sound in 5.1. I do not know how to connect my exit center/subwoofer via an orange-coloured cable in my decoder, which does not possess this entrance.
As a result, not possible to obtain from the analogical sound 5.1 for the games. I thus thought of this solution, the decoder DTS-610 from Creative http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?product=49
It decodes the signal resulting from three cables (orange, black and green) or 6 "ways" to convert it in DTS on the HP. I thus connect it between my sound card and my decoder via 3 analogical cables and a yellow optical coaxial cable. BUT, as my decoder does not manage the DTS, will it still work ? Could I thus obtain an ANALOGICAL sound 5.1 coming from games instead of the sound 4.1 Or is there another solution?
Thank you for your help

hi davebeme,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
That Logitech x530 is meant for a Desktop Audio that support Surround 5.1 channel that has 3 ports as you mentioned (Blue, green and orange)
You will need a USB Audio Adapter like this
http://www.usbgear.com/USBG-SOUNDX.html
Like the Diagram, the Surround 5.1 sound effect is your Logitech device
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Sound for games doesn't work on iPad 2

Sound works on iPad 2 for everything except games. Is there some special way to get sound for games to work?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data.

No 5.1 sound in games with Creative digital speakers

Hi,
is it true that you can't use 5.1 sound in games with a Creative soundcard and Creative digital speakers?

Go to Knowledge Base article SID3069 then expand the "7. Soundblaster Cards".
It is possible to have 5. digital sound in games if your Creative speaker system has a digital DIN connection.

5.1 sound in games with Creative Digital-Speakers and Audigy 2

Hi!
I know that you can't have real 5. sound (only upmix) in games with Creative Digital-Speakers. Is it possible to connect, without the decoder box, the soundcard with the subwoofer (Line-Out -3)? I want to make the cable for LIN_OUT 3 by myself, but which of the 4 pins are for the subwoofer, center front or center rear (ground is clear)?

Hooking up MBP to home theater receiver: Surround sound for games?

I'm looking for a way to hook up my MBP to my home theater receiver to play games in surround sound. From what I've read, it sounds like the digital optical out will only provide 5.1 sound for DVDs, not games.
I have also read about the Griffin Firewave which supposedly provides 5.1 sound from the firewire port...however, it looks like there are five separate outputs from that device (center, and both front and rear speakers), and my receiver's inputs are not arranged in this way, so I don't think this will work for my setup.
Anyone know of a way to do this successfully? It's looking like it's not possible, but wanted to see if there were any solutions I was missing. Thanks!

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

[SOLVED] Extra resolutions for games with Nvidia drivers

When using the nouveau drivers, games and other such applications will allow me to select any resolution my screens (one 1920x1080, the other 1680x1050-- the latter of which is to the left of the first) will support, as well as 3600x1080, the combined total (spanning both screens). For instance, I can make something like Tux Racer 1280x800, and either windowed or fullscreen. However, with the Nvidia proprietary drivers, the only resolutions that I can select are 1920x1080, 1680x1050, and 3600x1080. This prevents me from playing windowed games in such a way that they don't cover my whole screen, or playing fullscreen games at lower resolutions for higher performance. How can I use the Nvidia drivers and the "extra" resolutions? (Ideally, all those listed in the Xinerama output below)
Xrandr outputs this:

Thanks. The first link worked, in the sense that my games now have all those resolution options, but now there's a new bug.
To future readers: a solution has been found for this bug as well, see below.
My metamodes setting now reads:
Option "metamodes" "CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select, CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortI n=1920x1080}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1680x1050}; [b]nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1600x1200};[/b] nvidia-auto-sele ct {ViewPortIn=1440x900}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1400x1050}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1280x1024}; nvi dia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1280x960}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1280x800}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=115 2x864}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1024x768}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=832x624}; nvidia-auto-select {View PortIn=800x600}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=700x525}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=640x480}; nvidia-auto-sele ct {ViewPortIn=512x384}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=400x300}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=320x240}
Because I now have included a resolution whose height is 1200 (or so I suppose-- if I remove that part, the issue does not occur), this happens:
Xrandr output:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3600 x 1200, maximum 16384 x 16384
My X screen has the right length, but the wrong height! Now, my desktop seems to span the right area (3600x1080), but if I move my mouse to the bottom of that area, it pans down another 120 pixels. In that area, there's just graphical gibberish, often whatever I had on the screen last time.
If I use Xrandr to set my screens' output, it works again, butthere a solution within the Nvidia driver settings...
EDIT: It occurs to me that the setting seems to be taking the largest possible resolution for the X screen based on those metamodes.
EDIT 2: This is likely intended behavior. The proper virtual resolution (X screen resolution) may be restored by adding
Virtual 3600 1080
to the "Display" subsection under the "Screen" section.
I'll mark this as solved.
Here's my working xorg.conf, by the way. I've posted only the "Screen" section because that's all I've changed. The rest is in my first post.

Is there a problem with both the headphones and speakers?
Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.

Stuttering Sound in games with X-Fi Xtreme Ga

I have repeatedly had problems with the sound in Bioshock, Civilisation IV and World of Warcraft whereby the sound will start off OK, but often, particularly heavy scene graphically, the sound either cuts out completely, or starts stuttering. I recently replaced the graphics card, but this problem began before I changed them over. I read in the FAQ that these problems could be overcome by turning off certain features such as CMSS-3D and also turning off the ACPI function in the BIOS. I have tried all the suggestions together and I still have the same problem.
AMD 64 X2 4200, 2GB Ram, MSI Radeon RX2600XT, Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Driver 6.0..302Message Edited by Hungry_Hippo on 0-5-200706:6 PM

I am not currently experiencing the sound distortions or drop-outs in the game Bioshock.
The solution could be one of the following. I can't be certain which one:
) Unlocking the framerate under 'graphics options' in the game.
2) Uninstalling the driver 6.0..302, removing the card, rebooting, reinstalling the card, rebooting again, reinstalling the driver.
However, as this is an intermittent fault, I can't be certain it won't recur. If it does, I will post again.

If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History" (Never remember history means that Private Browsing mode is active).
"Use custom settings for history" stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the defaults are made.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

7.1 audio in Games with Optical out/Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium

Hi All,
I just recently upgraded my speaker setup from inspire 7800 (which still worked great except losing sound on one of the rear speakers every now and then ... something wrong in the sub i think). So I went online, and surprisingly and sadly no one sells 7. computer speakers anymore, as to why that is a mystery to me.
Anyways, now I am running a Onkyo Home theatre in a box, which comes with a 7. setup with a receiver that i thought would solve my problem, but what happens now in games is I can only get 5. sound, and nothing through the side speakers, actually, it puts the sound through my side speakers and calls them the back channel. Currently it is hooked up from the X-fi Titanium via TOSLINK to the receiver, and I am choosing 7. speakers for my output in the Audio Console, and have tried both DTS and Dolby Digital Li've modes without success to get 7. for games (That's why I bought this setup!). I have a sad feeling it's only going to work with 5. sound for games (It outputs to 7. for music no problem). Is there any fix I can turn on to make true 7. audio go from the PC into my receiver and get outputted properly for games?
I also just wanted to say I'm not sure why 7. speakers seem to be getting shunned from all the?manufacturers, but it's sad that I can use 6 year old technology and make this work, and I assumed that with the new tech of digital output, I should be able to get the same result, but somehow, I can't get 7. sound for games.
Any thoughts anyone would have would be great. I'm thinking im just going to hook this up to my TV upstairs and plug back in my Inspire 7800 through analog and keep using them until they die fully, which I hope doesnt happen for a long time.

So in an interesting turn of events, I went to plug my old 7. inspire speakers in, and the problem i was having with low audio moved from a back speaker to my front speaker. So after testing moving centre speaker to the left input , and that worked for both, i moved them back, and now all of my speakers work fine! I was doing this before I bought the Onyko setup, and it wasn't making a difference at all, I was still getting low sound from the back speaker.. Strange. You've got to love technology. Well, no loss, I needed a good home theatre setup anyway. If anyone could still answer my question that would be great though?
