5.1 sound won't work with computer speakers, not sure

Hi, I am having problems getting 5. surround sound to work with my SB Li've! 5. card and Cambridge Soundworks DTT3500 Dolby Digital system. The speaker system works fine, I've tested it with my DVD player through an optical cable hookup. The Dolby Digital light is supposed to light up when its receiving a Dolby Digital 5. signal, and when connected straight to the DVD player via optical cable, it does light up.
But, when connected to my Li've! 5. card, it does not light up. I am using CyberLink PowerDVD which supports 5. sound, and I'm using the Digital DIN port in the back of the speaker system. The cable goes from the orange digital out port on the SB Li've! 5. card to the Digital DIN port on the Cambridge speaker system. The hook up should allow transmission of 5. signal, so maybe something is wrong software side. I might be missing a setting or something, on the player maybe or elsewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I have been in the computer repair business for over years and work on main frame computers for the government and there are companies that back their products and there are companies that do not. Creative, in my opinion, is not a company that likes to back their hardware or software drivers. I remember in the old Sound Blaster 6 days of DOS and conflicting IRACs and not getting any help with their auto answer service. In my opinion, one of the reasons they have all this software driver issues, is they more than likely use another source to write the software and therefore the software writers do not talk to the hardware developers. Believe me this is very common as I see it all the time with the government contracted computer companies and their special software. What a mess. If? software developers do not talk to their hardware people on known issues then we get the results. Part of the problem is us consumers and our willingness to except anything when it comes to computers. I read of people staying up all night trying to resolve one little issue and will still except a degraded product. Do not think for a second these companies do not know this and use this backwards stupidity to their advantage. I would never give any computer product that much of my time because my time is money as well.
Anyway, why do we all buy Creative? The answer is very simple. If you have ever herd the newest X-Fi sound cards with its 24 bit crystallizer on a motherboard it likes, well there is nothing like it. I have mine (I own this sound card as well) hooked up to a high end stereo and if my wife would let me I could blow out my windows in my study. That is when it is working and not squealing. The problem of course is we must get this wonderful sounding card on a computer it likes to work without squeaking or squawking. Lets face it, Creative is the only game in town when it comes to sound and I love great sound. shellback

Time capsule wireless works with computer but not other devices.

Wireless internet from the time capsule works with the laptop, but not with any other devices or computers. They pick up the wireless signal, but can't connect. Any ideas?

Thanks for the response. I appreciate any help you can give. The internet modem is from Insight Cable and is an Arris TM602G.
Wireless Mode = create a wireless network
Radio Mode = automatic
Wireless Security = WPA2 Personal
Internet > Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off
Internet > DHCP tab
DHCP Beginning Address = ? I'm not seeing where to get this info.
DHCP Ending Address = ?
I did notice on the summary that it shows 4 wireless clients, which I assume are the computer and the other devices that can't get the internet but get the wireless.

My audio on face time won't work with external speakers plugged in

I have a fairly new iMac. My husband bought me some Bose speakers and when I try to face time with the speakers plugged in I do not get any audio.

Facetime has not been available on iPads purchased in the UAE for years.
Although Facetime can work in the UAE on devices which do have it I don't know why you have not been able to use it in iOS 7.

ITunes 7 won't work with computer games

I have tried playing numerous computer games while listening to music from my iTunes ver. 7. The result was an immediate disruption of music and a broken, scratchy sound as well as popping noises at fast intervals. After immediately exiting the games, the music quality improved slightly. One game is Battlefield 2 by EA Games, another is EV Nova by Ambrosia, and lastly I tried Freelancer by Microsoft. My system is a 3 GHz Pentium 4 with 2 GB of ram and 200 GB of hard drive space. I was able to play these games with iTunes 6, but not since I upgraded to iTunes 7. Help me please.

First off, how about using Software Update (under the blue apple) to make sure you have the latest software for your computer.
Then, follow the instruction here to test your nano in a new user account:

My macbook pro is freezing/sound won't work

A few days ago my Macbook pro started freezing up and requiring a forced power off each time. Sometimes the screen would go completely white, other times the cursor would still move but the display was broken and unable to be clicked. It happens at random intervals, sometimes without me even running any programs it will freeze up and go to a blank screen. A lot of times it takes a few consecutive tries to actually restart it in the first place.
Anyway, I contacted Apple Support Chat and the employee helped me to Repair the Disk Permissions which provided a temporary fix. After it kept acting up later, I followed her instructions to do both a PRAM reset and SMC reset. However, after performing both of those today now my screen has gone dark blue a few times and also the sound won't work with or without headphones.
Could someone please help me?

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while on Spotify. Volume max. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps. Works with earpods.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.
My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi!
I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.
sound is working properly only with headphones attached.
when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"
when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.
any other app can't play sound.
is there any fix for that?
Thanks

How do I delete zibzoom toolbar from my computer. It says its experimental and won't work with 5.0.

I joined the Zibzoom.com company they were encouraging everyone to download the zibzoom toolbar so I did but it don't look like it all installed properly. So I want to remove it and nothing I've trie has worked. Finally I looked it up under firefox add ons and it shows that it is experimental and says it won't work with firefox 5.0 it will work with 1.0 trough 4.0 this company should not have been trying to get people to signup for this stupid thing. Now I can't get it off.

You should be able to find it in the Extensions menu if it's been installed. Click the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions. Remove it from there.
See also: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_Uninstall_Extensions
But it does clearly state on the Add-ons site that it's not designed to work with Firefox 5.0.1 See screenshot.

HP 6120n Sound won't work bought replacement sound card not sure of what to do

HP 6120n - Using win 7 - Sound won't work
Tried restarting and Troubleshooter and it not not solve the problem
Bought used replacement sound card (30 day warranty) but not sure of what to do to install it or even if it is necessary

Hello @4u2bu,
I understand that the audio is not working on your HP Pavilion a6120n Desktop PC running Windows 7 and you are wondering it you should install the new audio card you purchased. I would recommend that you first try the steps set out in the HP Support document: No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7), which has been designed to address audio issues with computers running Windows 7.
Now if the above document does not work I would suspect a driver issue and since HP does not have audio drivers for your computer running Windows 7 I would suggest you go ahead and install the new audio card as it will have the needed drivers.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Outlook Email script won't work with Reader 9.1

The attached form was designed in ES 8.2 and has worked fine with Reader 8.0. The "properties defaults" tab is set for Reader 9.0 or better. However, upon recent upgrade to Reader 9.1, the Outlook Email script stopped working. I'm new to Livecycle and scripts and was hoping that someone had an easy fix?

okay thanks. One more question. What script is used to activate the "read receipt requested" function in Outlook?

Subject: Outlook Email script won't work with Reader 9.1
Interesting .....it sounds like an issue in Reader. From a code perspective everything is good .....the code tells Reader's email service to communicate with the mail client. This could be where the issue is.
You may want to post your question on the Acrobat forum and see if they know of anything .....or you can report the issue to Support and have them look into it. Maybe something was introduced into the 9.1 version.
From a Designer perspective all is good.
