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)?

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.

Boston Acoustic Digital Speakers and Audigy 2zs card for notebook

Please help, I have a Boston Acoustic Digital Speakers and an IBM T43P notebook computer that i just purchased a Sound blaster Audigy 2 Zs pcimia card for. the problem is that when i connect the digital speakers i get no sound. I tried looking for the digital output option but cant find one on my computer

No, their external card don't have those digital out jack. You have to go for their pci sound card if not guess it's time you change those speaker.

Sound quality issue with 5.1 speakers and a g

I have an XtremeMusic sound card. I also have a 5. surround sound speaker system by Dell. After testing the system with the diagnosis tool before running NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, all speakers work. Center, right main, left main, sub and rear. After launching the game and getting down on all fours to listen, this is what I've come up with. In driver mode, only the two mains (right and left, no center, no sub, no rear) are working, thus creating the weak tinny sound at high rpms. Now, on replay, only the center works, no right, left, sub, or rear. There is no distortion on replay with the center speaker as there is in driving mode with the left and right. What is causing this? I've talked to other game owners with similar setups, and they say they are getting sound from all speakers during their play. Any insight would be appreciated.

"I thought maybe it was some kind of speaker problem but when i switched the 2 rear with the 2 front then the rear worked but front didn't."
Does this not indicate two of the speakers are not physically working? Or have a mis-interpreted?

Anyone with 5.1 speakers and audigy 2.......might have this bug too.......

When you turn on your cmss2 not cmss AND you have eax ON do you get sound from your center speaker?
cmss2 + eax = center speaker off..................is it supposed to be off?
cmss + eax= center speaker on
what happens with you?
Thank you come again.Message Edited by kryptonian on 02-04-2005 09:06 PM

Krypto,
Center channel works fine for me in all modes.
I turned on WMP 0 with a few mp3's. CMSS, CMSS + EAX Effect, CMSS2, CMSS2 + Effect. I went through several effects w/ CMSS & 2.
I did notice a couple things that could be affecting you though. I have the CMSS "Fader" for lack of a better term.. it moves the stereo focus from front speakers to back speakers.. set to 0%, which is balanced between front and back. Also, in the EAX Effect pane there this the effect amount. When I played w/ these two sliders and different effects, I noticed the center speaker did get very faint at times. Sometimes all that could be heard was reverb or echo.
Maybe it's the unique combination of CMSS setting and effect amount, plus the type of center speaker you have just not getting enough power?
Hope this hel
ps.

Final thought on Creative Digital Speakers & no XFi 5.1 digital out

Hold on to any Audigy &2 or SB Li've 5. cards if you own Creative Digital speakers!! My Inspire 5700 speakers are no use for analogue connections. They were made to connect to Creative Digital output sound cards ONLY. The PR at the time said something along the lines of
"It (the SB Li've 5.) comes with digital I/O with S/PDIF digital input/output, MIDI input/output and a Mini-DIN digital out for connecting to Cambridge SoundWorks digital speakers."
So without a compatible card the Creative speakers are useless. I remember being furious when I first realised the inspire decoder would not easily connect to my DVD player or any other type of sound card!
Creative must have known dropping this DIN output in the XFi range would anger their customers and that without the matter being explicitly pointed out, everyone with digital speakers would assume continued support from the new flagship range of soundcards. To try and pretend that any use of Inspire Digital speakers with the XFi range is anything but crippled is outrageous! It is obvious why there is no mention of the 5. DIN output being dropped just as it is obvious the contempt with which Creative hold their customers. It is not just this issue that has formed my low opinion of Creative.(e.g. EAX and VOIP in games were touted in the early SB Li've days and are only now working at all acceptably, many generations of sound card later!).
It is a sad fact that companies who enjoy market domination feel they have the right to behave in this way.Message Edited by hetzer on 02-09-2006 04:52 PM

Another suggestion:It is better if you have a 64 bit hardware supported by 64 bit Win XP or Vista. In my computer the hardware is of 2003 and is of 32 bit.However I can get results only with XP service pack 2 (32 bit)or Vista 32 bit.Normal XP may not work.However I can only get 48 Khz sampling rate and not the advertised 96 Khz sampling rate. Is it due due 32 bit hardware/software?The manufacturer recommends a 64 bit version for best results.

I downloaded a CD with a digital booklet and the booklet won't open.

All of the songs will play, but when I try to open the digital booklet, it says "The file could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." Any ideas on how I can view this? I paid for it so I'd like to be able to use it.

Hey there Emily,
It sounds like you downloaded the digital booklet and it will not open. I would suggest you delete the file from your iTunes library, and then re download it from the iTunes store with this article:

Can I get product key for older versions of Illustrator with Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition

I have purchased the Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition and I now need to install illustrator on Windows Vista. All the new versions are not available for Vista. I have managed to find older versions for download but it is asking me for a product key. Is it possible to get the product keys for older version with Creative Cloud Student and Teacher edition?

You cannot purchase older versions of Adobe software thru Adobe. If you have a full subscription you can acquire the CS6 version thru that. I have had CS6 running on a Vista system for years without problems.
Download previous versions of Adobe Creative applications -

We had somebody spend a few hours looking into this. He found that on Windows only, if Bickham Script Pro and/or Warnock Pro is deleted after install, further installs won't get them back. It seems only a complete uninstall and then reinstall gets them back.
Sorry for the delay in posting this. I lost track of the thread....
DETAILS
I did some playing around with the CS2 installer and found something interesting that might be related to some customers not finding Bickham Script Pro or Warnock Pro.
On both the Macintosh and Windows platform, using the Suite installer to install even one app from the Suite (e.g., GoLive) installed Bickham and Warnock--no surprise.
On the Macintosh, if I manually deleted those fonts files from the Application Support: Adobe: Fonts folder, then used the Creative Suite installer to install another application from the Suite (e.g., Photoshop), those fonts got reinstalled--again, pretty much as I would have expected.
On the Windows side, however, if I manually deleted those font files from the Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts folder, then installed another app (e.g., Photoshop), the fonts DID NOT get reinstalled.
Even more interesting, if I manually deleted the entire Fonts folder from Program Files\Common Files\Adobe, then used the Creative Suite installer to install an application from the Suite (e.g., I removed Photoshop, deleted the Fonts Folder, then reinstalled Photoshop) the Fonts folder got reinstalled as did the reqd folder inside of it (and the contents of the reqd folder) but Bickham Script and Warnock Pro were NOT reinstalled.
On a fresh machine, I tried using the Suite installer to install only Photoshop from the Suite, just to make sure it actually installs Bickham and Warnock, and it does. I then removed Bickham and Warnock and installed GoLive with the Suite installer--still no Bickham or Warnock. Then I installed Acrobat with the Suite installer--still no Bickham or Warnock.
If I use Add/Remove to completely remove ALL Creative Suite applications and support files and preferences, then reinstall an app, I DO get Warnock and Bickham.
His theory: On the Windows platform, if customers are removing those fonts, or for whatever reason they don't get installed in the first place (though I couldn't reproduce a problem here), they may not get the fonts unless they do a full removal of the entire Creative Suite package (all applications) before reinstalling.

Is there a fix for Bluetooth failing after 1-2 hours of play on my remote audio speakers? It sounds like "gargling". It occurs with all bluetooth speakers and quitting and restarting bluetooth is the only remedy I've found. Others?

8-doing a factory reset, then repeating steps 1 through 6
Do you mean a restore to factory settings?. If so did you set up as new or restore from back up afterwards?

I bought a movie with the digital copy and it gives me option to redeem it with iTunes, but when I type in the redeem code it shows a message saying: " you must insert your digital copy dvd in this computer in order to redeem this code" . The dvd is in. WTH? This is especially with FOX movies, I never have trouble with Universal Picture movies.

Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

If i buy a blue ray with a digital copy and if i download the movie on my PC from work, i will be able to download it on my Mac at home later on?

No, it will be a one use only code. Copy the file onto a memory stick and import it into your library at home later.
