5.1 for games from X-Fi Music through home recei

using the digital coax doesn't give me true 5. for games (not dvds) when i go through my receiver to speakers.
do i have to somehow connect 6 analog cables to my receiver? if so, what device do i need to buy so i can run those cables from the soundcard (my receiver has MultiCh analog inputs)?
or is there higher end X-Fi that allows 5. for games via digital?Message Edited by xfiheck on 03-08-20070:58 PM

No SB card can encode DD/DTS on the fly, you need 3x miniplug-to-RCA cables for 5. or the SB HT cable for 7.

The page has some diagrams that show how to connect to the analog inputs on the receiver.

  • Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

    it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
    Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
    Have you tried it without the headphones?

  • Can I move an iTunes library from Comp1 to Comp2 through Home Sharing?  What happens with the first sync?  What happens to 3rd party app data (specifically, game scores/levels)?

    I need to move an iTunes library from Computer 1 to Computer 2.  Can I do this through Home Sharing, by dragging and dropping library items from one to the other?  The library consists of iTunes purchases, home shared items and music/movies from our personal collection.  Both computers have had all the accounts authorized, so I don't anticipate an issue there.  I'd like to do this so that my son's ipod is impacted as little as possible -- specifically, his game scores/levels and other 3rd party data remain intact after the 1st sync and the organization of his icons remain intact.
    Is there a way to do this smoothly and easily, protecting his ipod data/organization?

    Sorry, I obviously wasn't clear. If you replicate the library from Computer 1 to Computer 2 by copying it, then all will be well. I routinely sync my iPhone and iPad both at home and at work using a single library that I migrate between the two locations via an external drive which is kept up do date using SyncToy.
    Backup the iPod touch on Computer 1.
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from Computer 1 to Computer 2, replacing any existing iTunes folder on Computer 2.
    Check that content is accessible in the migrated library. (Won't be a problem for a standard iTunes library where all the content is inside the iTunes Media folder which in turn is inside your iTunes folder).
    Connect iPod touch to Computer 2.
    Sync.
    In the unlikely event that something goes wrong (it won't) then you can connect the device back to Computer 1 to restore it.
    Note device backups are not stored within the iTunes library and stay on the machine on which they were created. It is theorectically possible to migrate them but there isn't really any point. Once you have synced the iPod with the copy of the library on Computer 2 then Computer 2 will make its own backup of the device.

  • Can you add items to your iPad from your iTunes library through home sharing?

    Sorry I'm a novice to this.
    Say I have a video in my iTunes library and I would like to add it to my iPad so I can watch it when I'm not at home without hooking the iPad up to my PC and syncing.
    Can I do this through home sharing?
    Thanks

    Sorry, I miss-typed in my previous post. I meant to say you can't use homesharing to transfer content. (dictation got it wrong, but I should have checked). In order to transfer content from your iTunes library to your iPad, you would need to connect it to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi if you have Wi-Fi syncing enabled.
    To enable Wi-Fi syncing you must first connect your iPad to your computer with the USB cable and then turn Wi-Fi syncing on in the settings within iTunes.

  • Prevent Apple TV from playing explicit music via Home Sharing

    Hi. I have Home Sharing enabled on my Mac and on my Apple TV. Through the "Computers" icon on the Apple TV, I can watch all my Movies, TV Shows and listen to all my music.
    I have now bought a second Apple TV for my son for his birthday. He is only 12, so I have enabled Parental Controls.  With this, he cannot view any movie rated higher than 12, and the same goes for TV shows. However, he can still hear my explicit music. The music is tagged as Explicit in iTunes, and I have set the "Explicit Music" parental control option to "Ask", but he can still play it without being challenged.
    How can I let him hear the clean music, but not the explicit music on his Apple TV?

    UPDATE
    I went in to iPhoto and created a new album -- called "TV Screen Saver" and copied the photos from the old album that would not load.
    Told iTunes to use that album for home sharing.
    Told Apple TV to use that album for the screen saver.
    Et Voila!
    Must have been something in the various updated softwares that disn't like something from before.
    Who knows.

  • HT3819 Must the iTunes App on my PC always be open to hear music through Home Sharing via WiFi on an iPad?

    OK, we have successfully set up Home Sharing using a common Apple ID.  However, when I close ITunes on my PC my wife can finish listening to the song that has been playing but can't access any more even though they are listed on her iPad. This is not an issue with my iPhone since music is transferred to the device when I sync my Outlook contacts and calendar. 

    Supplemental questions that I can't find addressed in Apple support documents:
    Can my wife SAVE a copy of music from using Home Sharing onto her iPad so that she carry the songs with her? (rather than accessing them live via WiFi with iTunes active on my PC)
    Does Home Sharing work in both directions?   (i.e. can my wife also share music she may download onto her device with my PC and/or iPhone? (both of which are set up on Home Sharing)

  • Listen to music through home stereo on iPad?

    How do you stream your music to your home stereo thru your iPad similar to iTunes on your Mac desktop? They allude to this being possible at the very end of the guided tour to iPod on the iPad

    I am trying to do the very same thing, glad to hear others are struggling!
    I stream Pandora through my home AV system through my PS3 browser. The problem is, to change the station, I need to turn on the TV, boot up a controller, etc. Instead, I want to connect via iPad Bluetooth to my home AV system and change tunes at will.
    I was able to pair the iPad to PS3 as shown on numerous YouTube videos to pair iPhone to PS3. The problem is that the audio doesn't pass through, even though it is linked. On the iPad Bluetooth settings, it shows paired, but the Device part shows the searching wagon wheel......... and doesn't allow me to pick headphones versus keyboard.
    So, how do I force the iPad to output to the Bluetooth connection? I update PS3 software with no success... Help Techies!
    An alternative would be to purchase a Bluetooth receiver / transceiver and try again, but since it didn't work with PS3, would their be any hope in it working on a dedicated receiver?

  • HT204411 Why are games & music not available for purchase from AppStore & iTunes for south Africa?

    I get a cannot connect to ITunes error when trying to access iTunes store.  Also I cannot doWnload certain games from AppStore.  After searching I found out that these options are not available in South Africa.  What would the reason be that certain countries don't have access to these options?

    Hey ascott57. This is also disinformation. I have personally spoken to the head approver of games in the FPB in South Africa. The rating charge is only applicable for DISC-based games that are sold in stores, so that parents can identify the games for an age group and also for stores to know when not to sell a game. When a game is sold on a mobile system, it is automatically exempt from this rating system, as the selling platform has automatic parental guidance systems built-in.
    There is NO reason why developers are not allowed to publish games to South Africa on the iTunes App Store or Mac App Store. This is Apple not having a section, so developers cannot even target that category, because it simply doesn't even exist.
    I registered as a games developer for iOS and when I found out that if I develop games for iOS, I can't even publish it to my own country, I let my developer registration lapse on purpose in protest.

  • I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be era

    I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

    If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
    Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

  • I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

    I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

    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.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 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. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

  • Could purchase music or games from Japan store but now cannot

    I have a Japanese iTunes gift card which I have been able to purchase games or music for years up until last month.  For some reason, the app store does not load when I click the top bar link yet the Book and Movie sections load.  If I click on the Top Songs link or any of the recommended links, I get a page that loads everything but the songs.  It will tell me the total number of items that should be there, but I don't see anything.
    If I directly try to buy anything I get the Terms and conditions page which I accept but only to get a error as such:
    "Item Not Available
    Make sure your computer's date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the iTunes Music Store."
    What gives???  Never a problem for years so why would Apple not allow me to purchase content from another country?  Is this an error with the recent version of itunes 11 or did they change their business model?

    OK,
    I got a result
    The iPhone was "stuck" at the end of the restore process.
    After waiting 20 minutes without any progress, I reset the iPhone (using the home screen key and power button)
    I then got the white apple logo which indicates a "reboot" is in progress
    It would be nice to have an option to display verbose output on the phone at this stage, but hey!
    After then waiting a further 20 minutes or so and after a few phone vibrations, the white apple logo was still being
    displayed without any further progress
    Past experince shows that a phone "reboot" usually takes less then a few minutes to complete
    I tried another reset (using the home screen key and power button)
    I got the white apple logo again and this time the phone started up within a few minutes
    All app store apps were present, notes, sms, email and call history still intact!
    still no music, videos and podcasts
    In the meantime itunes had frozen and crashed on my laptop, so a "kill task" and restart was needed
    On restart, I observed that the iphone was now showing 13.55 gigabytes of free space.
    Hurrah!
    I'm now resyncing music/video/podcasts
    Fingers crossed...
