5.1 support through SPDIF on SB Live 24 bit extern

Is it possible to get 5. surround out of movies with this adapter?
Do I need an appropriate driver (other than what comes in the box)?
Do I need a particular software DVD player?
Thanks.

Win2003 is a better WinXP with Server- features and very expensi've. So u will be able to use WinXP drivers on your maybe "illegal" copy of?Win2003. ? You must enable hardware- acceleration in windows audio- configuration tab (even if your soundcards doenst support it) In Win2003 it is disabled by default. Because win2003 is not a toy. HF

  • SB Live! 24-Bit external - no 5.1 on coax SPDIF out

    Hi there.
    I'm running WinXP with the SB Li've 24-bit external, and i try to connect my HTPC with my 5. amp over the coax SPDIF output of the SB li've box.
    but i can't get any 5. signal, only stereo...
    when i plug in a dvd player at my SPDIF connector on my amp, it switches automaticly at 5.
    the creative software is also tuned on 5., but the speaker test is only responding at the front left and front right speaker...
    do you have any idea?
    thanks for your help!

  • Soundproblems with X-Fi and DD through SPDIF

    ,Soundproblems with X-Fi and DD through SPDIF? Hi,
    this is my first post so greetings everyone.
    I have a X-Fi Elite Pro and serious problems with Dolby Digital 5., if it comes from konsoles like XBOX 360 and PS3. As speakers I use the Gigaworks S750.
    I will give my best to describe it, but I'm not an expert in the english language:
    Whenever loud soundeffects come from a game, than the sound rumbles with a very high tone in one of the speakers. For example crashing into a wall in a racing-game. This happens only with Dolby Digital in 5.. Not with DD Stereo or DTS and for some reason not DD 5., if it's from a movie.
    What I have tried:
    Replacing the Elite Pro card with a X-Fi Extreme Music (my old one)
    Replacing the entire kit with a new Elite Pro (now I have two)
    Replacing cables
    Other drivers
    Other OS (WinXP SP3 32Bit, Win7 64Bit)
    Nothing works. Both the PS3 and the XBOX 360 have that, except games that have DTS. So on the XBOX 360, the problem is there with every game.
    I don't know what to do. I have thought about an external decoder like the DDTS-00. But my original idea was to use the PC for everything.
    Please help me!

    I do not mean a digital in jag, but there is a SPDIF digital in "connector" (followed is?pasted from?Audigy4 User's guide - hw specifications):
    ]8.

  • Gaps while playing AC3 Sound through SPDIF on KT6-Delta FISR

    Hi everybody,
    I'm one of those lucky guys with a KT6-Delta FISR Board :D equipped with the C-Media 9739A OnBoard Soundchip and a S-Bracket from my old K7T266 Pro2 ( MS-6380 ) mainboard.
    It works great. The only problem is, when I try to play
    AC3-encoded Sound directly through SPDIF there are irregular gaps ( length = about half a second ) where no signal reaches my hifi system. Playing normal PCM-encoded Sound works fine, just AC3 is the problem.
    I have the latest driver, the latest bios, the latest chipset driver from via & the latest Windows XP Prof. updates.  :]
    I also tried different AC3 Filters ( from WinFast DVD, PowerDVD and the free ac3filter ) and a fresh WinXP Prof. installation. But nothing worked.
    Always these stupid gaps.  ;(
    The mysterious thing is: With my old MB and an extra pci soundcard with C-Media CMI8378 Chipset and optical SPDIF it works great.
    Yeah, I know I could use the old one, but the KT6 OnBoard chip has some benefits  :]
    Some information about my system:
    - Athlon XP1800@1800(133x11,5) ( Palomino Core )
    - Cooling: Copper Silent 2 TC by Arctic Cooling
    - Enermax power supply ( +3,3V/35A, +5V/44A, +12V/15A)
    - NVidia GeForce TI4600 from Leadtek ( i forgot: latest driver   )
    - Western Digital WD1200JB HDD (120GB,7200 RPM,8MB Cache )
    - RAM: 256 MB PC2100, CL2 by Apacer
    - Home-theatre system: Sony STR-KSL5 ( dts,dolby digital/pro logic II, digital cinema sound, 2x optical digital input, 1x coaxial digital input )
    - Connection between PC and hifi system: optical
    Has anyone the same problem or maybe a solution or a suggestion ? Would be nice then, when he or she posts it here  )

    A little mistake: The S-Bracket is from the KT4 Ultra FISR - Board ( MS-6590 ), sorry for that      
    @osnavi:
    I don't know whether it's okay or not. I just thought, the S-Bracket is just a cable extension of the onboard pin-connector ( means: there are no necessary parts in it - except the current-optical coverter for optical out - and the whole functionality is on the board ).
    Have you any idea, whether there's another S-Bracket for the KT6 series ?
    @maesus:
    I've tested all latest available drivers ( both from www.cmedia.com.tw  and from MSI via LiveUpdate3 ). All of them produced this gap.
    Both drivers where tested with Coax out and Optical out.
    I also tried to increase the PCI Latency in BIOS to give the sound chip more time for using the bus and therefore more time to transfer data. It didn't work, too.
    I will now try the following:
    - decreasing the FSB to 100 MHz ( just an idea  , maybe it helps )
    - installing a generic ac'97 audio driver (in case something like this exists )
    - well, bang my head on my hifi system
    Any suggestions are still welcomed  )

  • Forcing 44.1kHz PCM output through SPDIF on XtremeGamer

    7Forcing 44.kHz PCM output through SPDIF on XtremeGamerTHi,
    My system should be in my sig. ?My PC is only for gaming.
    I have a QED Digit Opto DAC that only accepts 44.kHz PCM input over TOSlink. ?However, I can only choose 48kHz or 96kHz in Game Mode from the Control Panel. ?Is there any way to force a 44.kHz output for this card in Game Mode?
    If not, given that all I need the card for is the EAX capabilities, which card would I have to buy to gain 44.kHz PCM SPDIF outputCost is most certainly a consideration?this refurbed XtremeGamer only set me back ?28 a month ago.
    EDIT: I just updated to Creative Console Launcher 2.6.0.0 from the Control Panel software supplied on the CD, and have managed to get 44.kHz output working successfully in Audio Creation Mode?however, though EAX is enabled in the Console Launcher, games (such as Doom 3) refuse to recognise EAX as being available. ?So, I'm no further forward, except now I now my card is capable of 44.kHz PCM over SPDIF?I just have to force it to output it in Game Mode.
    Many thanks,
    S.

    Thanks for the reply, I was getting very frustrated as you can tell.
    But I have fixed the issue!! And it is really strange.
    The exact option is on AC3 Filter on the main tab. It is called SPDIF (disabled). Checking the box seems to let dolby work. I have confirmed the correct sound output through the correct speakers through a AC-3 test file. AVIs are now outputting a dolby digital sound track through Media player classic.
    I do apologise as I've used AC3 Filter many times and assumed it was a 64-bit/X-Fi issue, but really just a bug with AC3 Filter.
    Edit: It now seems to work with SPDIF (disabled) ticked or not..... strange.

  • How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
    However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
    Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
    Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.
    https://logitech-en-ap.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9693/section/trouble shoot/crid/409/lt_product_id/224/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/sg,en
    The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
    http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
    If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
    I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
    The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
    So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
    Good Luck

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

  • How do I synchronise my Intel iMac's SPDIF audio input to an external clock source?

    How do I synchronise my Intel iMac's SPDIF audio input to an external clock source?
    I have a Focusrite ISA One microphone pre-amp with digital ADC card fitted. Both devices are set to 24 bit/44.1kHz and connected by Optical cable (from ISA One to iMac's optical SPDIF input)
    I've tried to get the iMac to slave to the ISA One's digital clock by looking in the Audio MIDI set-up but cannot get it out of 'Default' mode. Focusrite tell me it needs to be 'Locked' in the Mac but I can't see how to do that.
    The Mac recognises when I change the ISA One's sample rate because Pro Tools gives me an alert, which would suggest that it's receiving data. But all I am hearing on the input is digital white noise.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers!

    USB and FireWire work in very different ways, so there is no adapter.
    Instead, you should just get a USB 2.0 hub, like this one
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
    There are many choices, but be sure to get one that is powered (it comes with its own power supply).  Cheaper hubs rely on the computer's USB port for power.

  • Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit External crac

    Creative Labs Sound Blaster? Li've!? 24-Bit External USB . (SB0490)?
    I've seen plenty of popping/crackling posts and information, but never any pertaining specifically to this card.
    I'm posting this for my girlfriend who just recently bought this card. The internal sound card in her laptop was beginning to go out, and soon she plans to build a new computer, so we thought getting her an external sound card would be a good choice as she could easily switch it between her?laptop and computer?once it's built.
    Anyway, she recieves a strange anamoly I can only call a pop/crackle particularly while using the input functions of the card. More like what it is though, is it will frequently cut out, then it sounds almost like it's speeding back up to catch up with itself. When hearing her voice come through the input on a program such as Ventrillo, it cuts out frequently, occasionally makes some strange cracking sounds, and then often it will come back through and her voice will come through really fast.
    According to her, the problem happens in output as well. I've not heard that myself yet, so I can't describe what that's like. It's very annoying however, is there anything we can do?
    The laptop she's using is a Dell Inspiron 900 with nothing extra about it, nothing but the sound card plugged into it's many USB ports.
    Message Edited by Lokinn on 03-5-200608:0 PM

    that problem got fixed, but now there's another. every time i plug it into my computer, it says that 'there has been a power surge on USB hub' and then i have to reset the port and remove the cable. i tried looking on the database, anybody got any ideas?

  • Installation CD for Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit External SB0490

    Hi,
    I've bought this old external soundcard without the original installation CD, because I thought I can download all needed software here on the creative site. But no, only the drivers and some simple program updates are available :-(. With the creative drivers installed, I only get hacked sound on the digital coax output, SPDIF is also not working correctly. I suppose I have to do some configuration in the creative suite software, but this suite can only be installed from the original installation CD...
    Is here somebody who can tell me where I can download an ISO of this CD or perhaps make an upload of it?
    Kind Regards
    Steven

    HRe: Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit External (SB0490) choppy background sound? I've been having the same problem with mine. ?At first, all it would take is unplug the laptop end of the USB, wait a second, then plug it back in. ?A sound (incoming mail, reminder, general Windows sound) had to initiate the sound. ?It's almost like a CD skipping, but the sound played has no bearing on the popping sound. ?It's always the same pitch, timing, etc. no matter the sound that caused it.
    I've blue screened a couple of times too over the past couple of weeks. ?I've only been able to catch 'USB' during the blue screen before it reboots, so I don't have a code number to chase down.
    I'm using Windows Vista Premium Edition on a Gateway laptop that's about two years old. ?I'm being lazy, and not looking, but I'm pretty sure it's got a .6GHz DualCore proc, I upped the RAM to 2GB, I had to replace the HDD and I honestly don't recall the brand.
    It's gotten to the point now that even unplugging and then replugging doesn't really affect it anymore. ?I know that I've updated the driver a couple of times. ?The first time Vista whined about it. ?Going to see if there's a more current version, but I don't really have any further help or suggestions.

  • 5.1 through SPDIF on Conexant high def soundcard

    have an HP Pavillion DV6810em with Vista 32. My problem is with the Conexant High Definition SPDIF interface. My first question is clarification as to whether my laptop has a front optical jack (that doubles up as a standard 3.5mm jack which is already there and working). The specs online seem to state it doesn't, but in the sound properties it says that the SPDIF interface is front optical jack. I have tried with a mini tos connection from the laptop to an AV receiver, but nothing worked.
    My second and main question again relates to the SPDIF interface. I have recently purchased an HD TV and have connected an HDMI 1.3 lead from the laptop to the tv. Picture is fine, my problem is the sound. I manage to get 2 channel PCM sound through the lead (on all my software), however I really would like 5.1 sound. My tv accepts dolby and dts through HDMI and I have an optical lead running from the tv to an AV reciever which also accepts dolby and dts. I have checked my tv manual and it states that if dolby or dts is received by the tv, then it will pass it through the optical lead to the AV receiver.
     I seem to have tried every potential solution from looking around the net, but I’ll outline what I have tried. I only have 2 options in sound properties – Speakers or SPDIF interface. I select the SPDIF interface as default device and within its properties, it shows that the conexant soundcard is capable of both dts and dolby. Those boxes are both checked, as are the all the other check boxes in the window. I have tried AC3 filter with numerous options, I have changed settings on my tv and av receiver and have installed all the latest drivers.
     Again, 5.1 is the issue – for example, quickplay has 2 internal settings. The first, ‘analogue’ plays the 2 channel PCM. The other ‘SPDIF’ (which I assume will enable dolby or dts) when selected plays no sound at all. I have tried other programmes such as media player classic, media center and media player with the same results. I just want to know what the problem is, even if there is no solution!
     To confirm, 2 channel PCM works with all software on my laptop on the SPDIF interface (and when analogue is selected quickplay), just not 5.1 dolby or dts with a dvd (like when SPDIF is selected in quickplay). Just incase you need to know, in sound properties the laptop speakers work fine, as does the headphone jack with it (which are obviously stereo analogue sound only).
     Thanks for your help.

    Hey Man,
    I ran into the same problem. There ARE solutions out there, you need to google them and they involve different sound cards then you can find here. I didnt know the audigy could do Dolby Digital, or DTS encoding, but thats what you need if you want games to work on the home theatre.
    The X-FI can only output 2 channel stereo over its digital outputs... most sound cards on the market do however have DTS Encoding and Dolby Digital encoding, so any of these other options is the way to go. [For example. I switched to my onboard sound on my asus p5kc motherboard which can do dolby encoding with a software patch, so I've lost EAX 5, but I have dolby digital surroudn in games on my home theatre which rocks. ]
    Creative does sell a DTS encoder seperately, but it is very very expensi've.
    There is NO way to have a game output 5. on a home theatre using X-Fi Fatalty sound cards and a digital connection.
    There is also no way to get the X-FI Fatalty sound card to work with Unreal Tournament 3. [openAl crash. No fix planned]
    Basically its a finished card with no support and no real reason to hold on to it.

  • Toshiba P505-S8980 Surround sound through spdif

    Hello all
    I've just bought a Toshiba P505-S8980 which has an spdif optical output shared with the headphone jack. I've tried connecting this to my receiver with an optical cable. I can get stereo sound, but not 5.1. If I go to: Control panel > Sound > Right click 'Spdif interface' and choose properties > Advanced tab, I have a drop down list of sound formats to choose from. They are all 2 channel stereo with different bitrates and frequencies (on my old x205 I would have the option of 'Dolby digital live (5.1 surround sound)', this option is not available on the P505.
    The drivers I have installed are:
    Conexant Pebble High Definition Smart Audio 4.98.6.63 and
    Intel (R) High Definition Audio HDMI 6.10.1.2077
    Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on how I can get 5.1 surround sound?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm not having much luck, i'm thinking of buying a 3.5mm jack to optical TOSLINK apparently some HP laptops have a port within the stereo out, though the more i read the less likely i think it will be. Another option would be HDMI out although my receiver (Logitech Z5400) does not support this i hoped a converter might be available.
    Can anyone provide comments on this?
    Thanks again,
    Matt
