Hello adm golub,
It may be helpful to run the Apple Hardware Test on your system to test for any hardware issues.

TS4107 I have to use the optical output to my receiver for my surround sound ( it does not decode HDMI). After updating the software on my Apple TV the optical no longer works. The HDMI to my TV works and provides sound to the measly TV speakers. WHY?

I updated my software as "recommended" and my optical output is not working anymore to my receiver and thus no surround sound. My HDMI to the TV still provides the picture and sound to the TV. My receiver only uses optical and was fine BEFORE the software was updated. How can I go back to the prior software or fix this? My Apple TV is the earlier 720P version. I have tried restarting on the Apple TV and then unplugging and reinserting all plugs to no avail. It provides no optical sound on Netflix, Youtube and other selections but does via HDMI only to the tinny TV speakers. ANY IDEAS?

GO to your Dolby Digital settings, and toggle the options.. Auto, On, Off. That worked for me, and a few other people.

How do I connect my Apple TV to my Philips surround sound DVD system?

I can't seem to get surround sound when watching Apple TV (or when watching live or recorded TV via my Virgin Tivo). I use a three-years old Philips DVD home surround system to get surround sound when I'm watching Blu-Ray (I have connected my Philips Blu-ray and my Philips DVD player without difficulty). But I can't figure out how to get surround sound whne watching Apple TV. I bought an optical cable with an audio jack on one end, to connect to the DVD player and the optical end clicks into the ATV. Still nothing. Any ideas?

The surround system seems to support digital audio - it has settings for HDMI audio and video (even though it doesn't actually have an HDMI port) I bought the optical/audio cable on the advice of a staff member in the Apple Store, but frankly, she didn't see, to understand my problem. She recommended I insert the cable into the "MP3 cable IN" port but that' not working.
I'm probably not explaining myself very well - bottom line: I have a DVD surround system and an Apple TV, so how do I connect them?

ATV3 - I need to enable dolby digital for optical surround sound (netflix and home movies), but when I do this it stops audio coming through TV speakers

I have a cinema sound receiver connected to Apple TV via optical cable. When I have dolby digital set to Auto it doesn't come through as dolby digital when watching movies on netflix and iTunes (home movies).
If I set Dolby Digital to ON it works as expected, but the sound stops working through normal TV speakers (via HDMI). This is the same for netflix and home movies.
I tried 16 bit setting, but it made no difference.
Any advice on how I can get this working - meaning Dolby Digital always on for when I turn my surround sound on and sound through speakers for normal operation?
Obviously I can change the setting when needed, its just a pain.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
here is the friendly and signed driver installation method to enable Dolby Digital Plus in your Encore internal speakers only. This is not an official driver, there is no control panel for Dolby Digital Plus or various sound effects, but tested and has much better and richer surround sound quality as before with factory driver. I guess, this driver tweak can work with any Bay Trail tablet also.
How can you upgrade Encore sound drivers:
1. Download signed driver package and extract.
2. Open Device Manager.
3. Upgrade your Sound, Video and game controllers
- Intel SST Audio Device
- Realtek I2S Audio Codec
one by one with "Have a disk" method.
4. Double click enabledolby.reg file and add to your registry.
5. Restart, and enjoy better sound quality.
Thanks.

Apple TV and 5.1 surround sound

I have just bought an Apple TV and love it. I want to have 5.1 surround sound though and do not have a clue what to buy! I have done my usual research and am even more confused than I was several hours ago.
As I have a Sony TV/Blueray player (and hate remotes) I want a system I can control from my current remote (this would use Bravia Sync).
My issues are
1. The output I'd use on the Apple TV (I guess the optical?) and would the Sony receiver be able to decode it?
2. Does Apple TV decode its own 5.1 audio?
3. If it does do I need a full receiver and could it work with a set of computer 5.1 speakers?
4. If it doesn't which decoding system must the receiver have?
Oh and did I mention I'm a cheap-skate and don't want to pay much for the system! Although I will if I have to.

appletv will output 5.1 audio via HDMI or optical.
ideally you would connect the appletv to a suitable 5.1 amp (with suitable speakers).
the bluray player would also connect to the amp.
for me, i have all my devices connected to amp via HDMI and then have one HDMi cable running from the amp to the TV.

Looking for a surround sound app

hiya
i'm planning to buy an iPhone 4 but i have some questions. i heard there are preset EQ settings on the iPhone but is there an app (or a way) to make the sound of your MP3 files (mine is atleast on 192k) a bit more better or make it like a surround sound? any sugestions? thanks.

As mentioned, a 5 channel surround system is very hard to find in the price range you are looking at and even harder to find with half way decent quality. you might want to consider a 2 channel setup which will greatly improve the quality of the components and provide cleaner sound output at higher volume levels. If 5 channels is a must, then the build quality, sound quality, and frequency response will need to be sacrificed. You will have to ask your self what is more important: Sound quality? Or surround sound? At this price point, even small differences in price/brand can make a large impact on sound quality.
If surround sound is a must, then I would consider looking at the Sony HTSS370. This will be your best option of all possible solutions. It is a discontinued model though, so the chances of finding one at a local best buy will be slim and it may need to be ordered online.

What software is available for mixing surround sound on a G4?

I'd like to mix surround sound for a videographer without having to upgrade from a G4 with 10.3.9. All the software (Cubase SX, Nuendo, Logic, etc.) seem to demand OS 10.4. Any ideas out there?
Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

FileMaker Pro or its cheaper brother Bento.
There are none better.

How can I hook up my Sony surround sound to Apple TV to watch streaming videos?

How can I hook up Apple TV to my Sony surround sound to watch streaming video from Netflix?

Which Apple TV is it?
There should be outputs you can use for video/audio. The latest Apple TV has HDMI out. Find the correct cable that matches your TV and follow Sony's user manual to hook everything up correctly.

Maybe a possible solution to Mac analog surround sound?

wow-big title font. As I'm sure some of you know, we Mac users used to have a few options for analog surround sound. Sadly, those options are gone. However, I've tried something which sort of works okay-not a lot of options, and it's kinda kludgy, but it works. I don't work for the guy, so don't consider this an endorsement. Dr. Lex at www.dr-lex.be has written a CM2602 enabler for Mac OS X. What's that? you might ask, well, the CM2602 is the audio chip used in a couple of outboard USB sound cards for PC, and this little bit of software enables analog/coaxial output and lets the darn thing work with your mac. I'm using a Zalman ZM-RSSC
outboard USB box. Paid about $55 for it, but it does work. All you have to do is find out if there's the right chip in there, grab the software, follow his instructions, and it should work. However....I've found that messing around with the speaker settings doesn't work that well. Just set it to Use encoded Digital Audio and you will get sound. the only other solutions I know of are having a set of speakers with digital audio input ($$$) or some fancy Firewire boxes ($$) so this may be helpful to you
Good luck
John B

sorry folks, I spoke too soon-I shut down my Mac pro, and then started it up today, and...nothing....the usb device is gone...I guess it doesn't stay, I'm guessing I have to reboot my Mac Pro, then plug in the usb device, then mess around with Audio Midi setup...again...
again, I'm sorry-I thought it was a permanent solution, but now I'm kinda embarrassed
I'll have to wait until I get an email from Dr. Lex and see what he says. Of course, it may be that 10.6.8 might have fudged things up-that's been known to happen, alas. My FireWave used to work fine with Tiger and Leopard, then after that....

How do I convert analogue 5.1 surround sound into a digital signal? (Pioneer SE-DIR800C headphon

I understand that my SB Audigy 2 card will only output 5. sound from games through its 3 analogue connectors. How do I convert this analogue signal into a digital one? What hardware do I need to purchase?
I have read the thread on "Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info", and also I've thoroughly read the "Creative Speaker Connectivity Guide".
The reason I ask is that I have just bought a pair of Pioneer SE-DIR800C Surround Sound headphones. This are supposedly fantastic for recreating surround sound on headphones because there is a clever little decoder box. They accept a DTS / Dolby Digital signal via the digital co-axial and optical inputs, and there is a single analogue input which only accepts stereo sound.
My XBox and PS2 will output true digital 5. sound via an optical cable and I am confident this will work perfectly with these headphones. I'm really looking forward to playing Halo in surround sound! But for gaming on my PC, I'll be limited to just an analogue stereo signal. Well, unless I can find some device that will convert my SoundBlaster's analogue 5. outputs into a digital signal, which I can then plug into the little decoder box for these headphones.
So, back to my question:
What hardware do I need to buy to convert an analogue 5. signal (via 6 x RCA or 3 x 3.5mm stereo ) into a true digital signal (via optical or co-axial SP/DIF)? Is it some type of headphone amplifier I need? If possible, please recommend makes & models of equipment.

Thanks stefan
OK, basically I have found 3 options for getting digital 5. out of a PC:
a) Creative DTS-60 (approx $90). This converts the SB's analogue into digital, but it's not available in the UK and it also introduces a noticeable 50ms sound delay. Also, who wants an extra box hanging out of their PC?
b) Buy a new sound card which has Dolby Digital Li've output. For example, ) BlueGears HDA X Mystique 7., or 2) Turtle Beach Montego DDL, or 3) Terratec Aureon 7. PCI (NOT the Space, FireWire or Uni'verse cards). I couldn't find the first two available in the UK so I have just ordered the Terratec card from Komplett.
c) Buy a new motherboard that has built-in Dolby Digital Li've output, for example the ABIT Fatalty AA8XE. Unfortunately my PC is only just over year old and I'm not quite ready to replace it.
I hope this info is useful for people. Maybe Creative will start making a card with DDL output too.Message Edited by NinjaHeretic on 2-22-2005 08:46 AM

Airport Express and Surround Sound Issue

I recently have lost the ability to play music via Airport Express through my surround sound. It was working one day, I synced my IPhone and the option to play music through my surround sound is gone. Same with the "Remote" application for IPhone.
Note: I am able to chose "Computer" and / or "Apple Tv" but not my surround sound. Any ideas how to correct this and why this was changed?

Hello irk26. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Although the Linksys WRT54GL, which is Linux-based and running DD-WRT firmware, is WDS-capable, it can be tricky at times for it to be also WDS-compatible with the AirPort base stations ... as you are probably already aware.
Maybe one of the following articles may be of help:
o How to extend your Linksys WRT54G with AE
o Linksys WRT54G and WDS
o Linksys WRT54G, Airport Express, and WDS
o AirTunes, AirPort Express, and the WRT54G

I can't play iTunes Movies in 5.1 surround on my surround sound system

I like to download iTunes movies to my MacMini from iTunes store. Recently I gave up doing so because I can't play iTunes movies in 5.1 surround on my surround system. My MacMini is connected to my Marantz 6007 SR via HDMI cable. However I can get DTS or 5.1 surround sound from my system with other players such as VLC player.
How can I fix this problem as I really want to buy or rent movies from iTunes store?

Hi komansava,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Mac Mini is able to output 5.1 audio to your surround sound receiver, but iTunes purchases do not play in surround sound.
When playing iTunes purchases, first see if iTunes is set to output the movie you're playing in surround sound:
Set up iTunes to play content in surround sound
Movies you purchased or rented from the iTunes Store may have stereo audio and digital surround sound tracks. ...
In iTunes, click the Speech Bubble icon to view your audio choices, such as English (Surround). If the surround sound choice is dimmed or the icon doesn't appear, make sure you are using the appropriate hardware and that the content is encoded with digital surround sound.
You can find this information here:

Will surround sound run on core audio+ Digi 002 rack ?

I have used logic express on my set up but want to buy Logic studio for the surround sound capabilities. I heard from a friend that Logic 8 needs a pro-tools HD TDM to run the surround stuff. The 002 rack (firewire) i use in logic goes through core audio but will this be ok or do i need the HD???
Macbookpro - logic - 002 rack (core audio) - 6 outs??.

There is quite a bit of documentation with compatibility issues with the MBox2 and 002 systems and the G4, especially for some reason the aluminum case G4s. I've not read from those with these configurations which are working, but I have had no luck with this and many posts on the net say the same thing. Seems the USB ports are not sufficiently powered to handle the load, mostly with many tracks and specifically with using phantom power for condenser mics. Go online and type in MBox2 + G4 and you'll get some info on Google hits. As I understand it, the two are basically the same save 2 vs 4 mics imputs and the like.
