Alternative speaker cable for G500 (5.1)

I'm using G500 on X-fi XM
Can anybody suggest alternative speaker cable for my G500 (from sub to sattelite) so i can have maximum sound?
How about RCA connector and how to make them?

Thanks for the response- your comment "checking any receiver to make sure it has a multi-in jack that has an input etc" ? Do you mean output? I'm not aware of any home theatre receiver available with inputs for each speaker.
With the MediaCenter 2004 Edition software I do not have the option of changing settings for the sound card. I had originally planned on purchasing a receiver that passed audio through without any enhancements (AC3, Neo etc) instead relying on the card to handle conversions. With MCE it looks like I will have to use the external receiver to deal with changes. Is this going to work with the Audigy 2 ZS + MCE2004?

Replacement Speaker Cables for Gigaworks S750

- Some of the cables for the satellite speakers in my system are not long enough for the room I'm trying to fit the speakers into. I've looked everywhere for cables that have the raw exposed wire on one end to connect to the back of the speaker and the single rca jack that goes into the subwoofer. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Where are you located? If you are in the USA, I can help you with trhe repair.

Ability to connect Audio Cable for Apple TV to Apple Speaker

Can I connect my Apple TV XtremeMac XtremeHD Toslink Audio Cable for Apple TV to my external Apple Iphone speaker?
There is only a single audio cable connection behind the speaker that normally goes from the Iphone.
Is there some sort of adapter I can use?
Thanks.

Alternative to the firewire cable for macbooks

I was wondering if there was some sort of alternative to firewire for uploading film footage? My macbook does not have a port to plug in firewire. I know that USB can be used instead but that this can lower the quality. Is there another way that you can upload footage without lowering the quality but using a usb cable?

I was quoted...? that's a first.
Anyway, the transfer protocol isn't what determines video quality, it's the camera. The new video cameras that use USB are not true DV as they use a compression algorithm. Comparing compressed video to DV is much like comparing a CD quality audio file (44.1kHz 16-bit) to it's mp3 counterpart. Acceptable? For most consumers the answer is probably yes. However, the video degrades quickly if you have to change file formats or compress it more for a smaller file size. The compressed format is why the new camers can use SD type memory cards instead of digital tape.
It's probably true that USB2.0 couldn't keep up with the amount of data a DV stream
When transferring many small files, USB 2.0 is as fast if not faster than Firewire 400, when transferring several files over 30MB(approx) Firewire 400 is faster. Files do not have to be broken up into packets and reassembled on the other end.

Replacement Cables For SB 7.1 speaker system????????

Hey there everyone,
I wanted to know if anyone knows where to find replacement cables for Creative Speaker Systems??
Let me know I have AIM SN Crash95x2
or email @ [email protected]

I can't read good, I didn't see your hardware. My mistake.
I reinstalled my drivers, and that seems to have helped. I think it may have had something to do with Windows XP SP2 or my onboard sound, I don't know for sure though.

ITrigue L3800 - Where do I get extension cables for the left & right speaker ? HELP !

@ reader : I have already contacted Creative Labs themselves but they unfortunately do not offer any extension cables that run between the left or right speaker and the sub-woofer. And since the connection into the sub is a weird looking '3 pins stacked on eachother' type, I am wondering if anyone has seen extension cables for connections like these.
I am grateful for any help on the issue (adresses, weblinks etc.), because it is really bothering me and the way I want to set up the system in my living room !
Have a great day !

OMS. If you can still find it. try searching for Opcode OMS (open music system) You need it to run usb midi interfaces in OS9. Good luck, I'd seriously consider getting Logic express.

Special extension cable for one front speaker of T6100 System

Hello,
i`ve bought an T600 5.1 speaker system recently.
Because i would like to use it as a surround system in my room (about 5x3 metres) i mounted it on the wall.
Now i`ve the problem that ALL cables are far to short (also the front speaker cables) to attach them to the subwoofer (without extension i would have to put the subwoofer on the desk to connect one front box correctly).
But the real problem is that one front speaker uses a different cable than the other one`s (a proprietary Creative cable, it has 9 pins and looks like PS/2 but is different) and i don`t know where to get it from because in normal shops you won`t get it.
The other boxes use a cinch cable so i know where to get them from.
I`ve already contacted Creative but they say that they are not able to send me such a cable because it`s not available for them as replacement and also not in their store.
I`ve also seen another thread here like this one but the problem hasn`t been solved there.
It would be very great if you can help me !
Thank you very much !
Greetings,
Thomas

I have been emailing Creative about this issue (as I have been experiencing the same problem) for the last 3 weeks, and each time I got a response I was given a useless non-answer, or they would use it as an opportunity to plug their own products, or I was pointed towards paying for their customer service line. I became brain-meltingly irritated with this and resigned to calling the helpline number, but the telephone number provided on the website is about 400 digits long and looks like it's got an international dialling code in front of it- and it's not one I'm familiar with. I tried omitting individual digits of it, or sets of digits with every combination I could think of, but the phone kept failing to recognise it as a number. Is it that hard to post a normal-looking telephone number on a website so idiots like me don't want to set fire to themselves in fits of angered frustration?
I can't find anything on the internet about this and I'm amazed that more people don't seem to have this problem - the Digital Din connector & lead for the front-right speaker is far too short and after 3 weeks of trying to squeeze an answer out of creative, they finally informed me that they don't stock them and that 'it might be sold in
electrical store but it may or may not work.'
Cheers.

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

What is thes best 5.1 speaker kit for macbook pro 2011

what is the best 5.1 speaker kit for my macbook pro
thanks for help.

A 5.1 is considered a surround sound system, it's typically used in home theater systems, not computers.
A computer doesn't have the necessary electronics to produce the rich quality of sound that a 5.1 system can deliver, the PC 5.1's are just gamers gimmick cards, they too really don't have the necessary electronics or wattage for rich, full bodied sound.
Now I can tell you what works really well as a 5.1 system for iTunes, movies and such from your MacBook Pro, or anything really.
A Harmon Kardon 5.1 Home Theater.
It has 110 Watt speakers, 5 of them, and a 200 watt subwoofer that will make your heart thump in your chest.
You need only two things with this system, a optical stereo mini Toslink adapter and a optical Toslink cable.
You plug one inside your MacBook Pro (enable the optical out) and the other to the receiver and mess with the remote to enable theater mode from the computer for iTunes (takes stereo and makes it quad sound with separate bass)
For playing DVD's with 5.1, you enable the right 5.1 encoding, Dolby, ProLogic etc on both and the Mac passes the 5.1 through the system to the receiver.
For playing 3D games, you just pass the 5.1 through, the receiver handles the surround sound.
The important thing is setup, the listening point needs to be right in the center of the four channel speakers, the center is over your monitor or TV and the subwoofer is stuck in a free corner someplace, it's placement is unimportant, as long as it's in the room and not blocked.
Brother, you have system like this hooked up to your iTunes and tears will be falling from your eyes the music sounds so good. Makes you full hear the full quality of the iTunes bought music.
Will set you back a couple of thousand, but it's worth it. All the cables etc are color coded, easy to setup.

7.1 Speaker cable?

Alright, just bought a new Audigy 2 Notebook ZS, plugged it in to my computer, then attached the speaker cable to my Inspire T7700 7.1 system..... then realized the docking cable had no reception for the side speakers (like from the subwoofer to the docking cable, it's a grey plug).
So I guess I missed the boat on that one, with my Inspire T7700 I got a 4 male to 4 male speaker cable, leaving me with one too many and therefore no side speaker hookup.
So... where can I buy the new 4 male 3 male 7.1 speaker cable? Kinda sunk here with my side speakers, been searching the site and can't find the cable unless it's shipped with the sound system.
Thanks in advance.

SnIpErMiKe,
The Inspire 7700 should have come with the 7.1 cable. Have the package content again.
If you still do have it, it's best to contact support and see if they have this available.

Alternative trackpad driver for windows is coming

creators of powerplan7 (boot camp keyboard backlight disabler) announced an alternative windows driver for the apple multitouch trackpad
sounds so promising. oh lord this is what I've been waiting for since '08.
folks does anyone participate in beta test program? I already wrote an email to them but no response for > 24 hours. I believe they're getting too many emails. so is there anyone who have had a luck to try it out?

I am afraid that the P1102w's driver has been checked-in MS OS, I guess what happened on your Windows XP computers is somehow the driver has been pre-loaded on it. Back to your question on Where can I find the driver for Windows 7 64, there are several ways,
1. Smart Install printer by printer - when plug-in USB cabel to your PC, the driver installation instruction should be able guide you install the driver
2. Use the CD in box
3. Please go to hp.com to download the proper driver for Win7 OS.
Hope it helps.
I am an employee of HP but I only speak for myself and not for the company.

Dimensions of the 160-Pin Cable for the NI PXI-2530B

Hello,
My mechanical design team wants to know the measurements of the 160-Pin Cable for the NI PXI-2530B. It will be a while before we receive the cable we ordered. I could not find a data sheet with the measurement details; are they? Alternatively, is Figure 1 in the Installation Instructions drawn to scale?: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375656b.pdf
Thanks!
Solved!

What dimensions are you looking for?
I'm a little surprised that the length of the cables is not included in the datasheets (I did just look!) - I thought that when I ordered cables for the older-style PXI-2530 modules in my lab that the length was specified in the part description.
If you need the dimensions of the connectors, you can do a little reverse-engineering and identify the dimensions of the various components. The connector to the module is an LFH-160. The Digikey P/N for the body of a connector is WM4099-ND. It may be difficult to find the dimensions of the backshells, however. The 4 terminal block connectors are standard 50-pin D-Subs. There are many examples out whose dimensions you can review.

S750 Speaker cable

Hi All
Does anybody know where to purchase the cables that run from the sub to the satellites as I require replacement cables for my S750 system?
I have tried maplin but with no success.
Also do creative still sell the speaker stands for the S750's? thay are not on there website.
Would creative be interested in selling these products directly to me?
Thanks

Matt,
The cable the original poster is referring to is from the sub to the satellites, not the 4:4 cable. Contact Customer Support if you need that cable to see if they can supply you with one.
As far as the colours go, I'm not sure what you mean, putting them into the jack? Or do you mean you need to know which colours (on the sub) are for which input? The manual should cover that, if you need other information please be more specific as to what exactly you need.

Seeking Extention Cable for Apple Pro Speakers

is this an impossible quest?
I've searched everywhere...even tried to put something together with Radio Shack parts but no go. I see that this has been in many forums when I looked up google...hopeless?
Anyone have ANY idea where I might find one?
I bought the speakers on ebay and silly, they have the short cord which barely gets them on my desktop.
I thank you for your thoughts!

Griffin used to make an "APS Extender" that adds 6' to the length of the speaker cable. A gentleman on the Low End Mac swap list told me about a place in England where he purchased one. It cost $40 US with shipping, and took a couple of weeks to arrive. I bought one also. It was nearly a year ago. I don't know if they still have them. I don't remember the name of the place, but I'll look for it if you want me to.
Don't bother trying to use a submini stereo extension cord in the APS jack. I tried that and it only plays out of one speaker. Apparently the outside ring of the jack is a conductor for one of the stereo channels.
Have a wonderful Christmas with your friends and family... (smile)
