Audigy 4 - Enabling digital

I have search the web and the forums extensi'vely and cannot find a solution to the problem I have. I cannot enable the digital i/o on my "SB Audigy 4 [AS800]" card. The previous card I had (a SB Li've!) worked by checking a checkbox in the speaker settings called "digital only". With this new card I do not have this option. Though I can see it in the help. Have I incorrectly installed the driver so it does not think I have a digital output?
Thanks,
--Peter

Thanks for the hint. I've carefully gone through all the controls that I can see and still cannot find anything that locks the digital output. I am a bit concerned about the help that says:
Using Advanced Controls
Some audio source sliders may have red plus signs above them. This indicates that an Advanced Control is available for that source. You can only access an Advanced Control if that feature is supported by your computer's hardware.
Depending on the audio device detected, the following Advanced Controls may be available:
Digital Output Only - this feature allows you to use digital speakers with your audio card.
Record Without Monitoring - this feature allows you to do analog recording without any output from the speakers. Playback will not be muted until you start recording.
Microphone Boost (20 dB) - this feature allows you to boost your microphone's sensitivity.
Can anyone tell me if the dio actually works on the audigy 4 card?

  • New Dell, Audigy MB Advanced has no "enable digital output" b

    Hey all.
    I have a brand new Dell Dimension 550 system, on which I ordered the Audigy MB Advanced.
    Actually I intended to get the X-Fi Music soundcard, but apparently spaced out and clicked the wrong thing. Bummer for me. Oh well I'll buy it later.
    Anyway I have no digital sound from my speakers, which are Boston Acoustics Digital MediaTheater. This is the 4. setup that came with my '98 Gateway G6-450, back when BA and Gateway were partners. These are *not* some of the speakers (I think like their 735 series) that require digital drivers. It's either a single analog cable, or a single digital cable, to run the full 4. setup, from the subwoofer plugged into the PC.
    Analog sound works fine, but I cannot get digital to work. The problem lies, I believe, in that I don't think the software recognizes that digital output is possible. Again, this is the OE soundcard, but it has the blue input port, the green output one, the pink/grey microphone/rear surround output, and also a yellow and black port, which are for surround connections (that I don't need).
    I will be upgrading to a better soundcard, but for now I just want digital to work. This is a common issue with people going from Win98 to XP, it seems, but... though I've found a post or two on this forum, the FAQ on BA's site, and some stuff via Dell and the Web, I really can't figure this out.
    I've run the BIOS sound test, that checked out. No control panel option works to get digital output working, and I've confirmed with Dell that digital output should be an option. Should be able to click on Volume Control in the taskbar, which brings up the Creative Surround Mixer. From there, click Speaker Settings. I have Speaker/Headphone Selection set to 4/4. and the "Synchronize with Control Panel" box checked. Below that should be at least one more box, including "Enable Digital Output" or similar. But it's not present at all. Blank.
    I don't know if a software reinstall would work or not. Anybody know what's up, here?
    Thanks!
    =S2=

    I've recieved a reply from Support telling me to email Dell, but from seeing other posts and topics, I have seen that this is useless. Most of the other people who have encountered this problem have resolved it via Creative not Dell.....Why do I have to go to Dell? Argh ?Thanks for the reply though :\

  • How to enable digital signature for browser enabled infopath form?

    Dear all,
    I have designed infopath form and published it into the document library. I want to provide signature option on the browser enabled infopath form.
    I have created it using secion and digital signature control.
    but I am getting this message.
    When i click on Yes . I get following screen.
    And it just hang here. I have enabled the active x control feature for IE.
    Please tell me where i should install this component and how it can be done? 
    I have access only to the sharepoint site.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to enable digital signature for browser enabled infopath form.
    To be able to sign this form, you need to activate two Windows Internet Explorer add-ons. Click the Information Bar in the dialog box, and then click Run ActiveX control to activate each add-on.
    Then you need to active the following add-on.
    In my environment, after I click the Next button, it open the picture as below.
    Once I click the link to add the add-on as above, everthing works well.
    For more information, you can refer to:

  • Sound Blaster X-Fi: Enabling digital out under Windows Vi

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded Windows XP machine to Windows Vista Ultimate. On the XP install, I had my Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music (SB0460) plugged into an external AV receiver via the digital out jack on the back of the card. This all worked fine.
    Following the Vista upgrade, the receiver seems to be no longer geting a signal from Windows. None of the cabling was touched so I'm assuming there must be some setting in Vista to enable the digital out, but not for lack of trying, I can't seem to find it.
    I've installed the latest drivers from the site and the sound card appears to be working correctly. The sound manager in the Control Panel shows three devices (Speakers, SPDIF Out, and Headphones). I've tried it with Speakers set to default and also with SPDIF set to default, but no joy. On Speakers, I can get sound output by plugging in headphones, but on SPDIF, nothing.
    I've also looked through Audio Consol's settings and there doesn't appear to be any "Decoder" option that is mentioned on some early posts I found on other sites relating to this problem.
    Any suggestions on how to enable digital out under Vista would be most appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ben

  • [SB Audigy 2] Enabling Audio Effects in EAX Console No Sound in Games.

    K[SB Audigy 2] Enabling Audio Effects in EAX Console > No Sound in Games.7 Subject says it all.
    Got an SB Audigy 2 from a friend, installed the latest drivers. Enabled the Audio Effects in the EAX Console ('Advanced EQ > Pop' to be more specific) Music sounds great and all, but most games I play will have no sound. Disabling the effects returns the sound. Only happens with games that use EAX btw, obviously. I would really like to be able to play games with the improved sound.
    Is this suppose to happen? I've tried the unnoficial drivers as well, no difference.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Audigy 4 pro digital connection but no l

    Hi
    I have a soundblaster audigy 4 pro and i connect it to my amblifier denon with optical cable but when i play a dolby digital or dts sound i can't get the logo on the amblifier. I test it on clean install win xp sp2. The sound seems to bo ok but no logo. I use Power dvd latest version.When i play the same dvd on my desktop dvd player with optical connection everything is ok sound and all logo's display.
    Do i have to enable cmss?
    Please help.
    Thank you
    P.S sorry for my bad english.Message Edited by ASTRAPI on 06-2-2005 0:30 AM

    CMSS is an effect used for stereo sounds, to emulate surround sound for them. It has no effect on the DVDs you're playing as you're just outputting the AC3 signal so the speakers can decode it.
    If you're using a digital connection, then CMSS will not have any effect for other sound either, you need to connect through multiple analog connections to get that sound. A standard digital connection (coaxial and optical SPDIF) can only pass over either a stereo PCM signal, or an encoded AC3 stream (like on your DVDs). Normal sound like music or games will only be passed over as stereo PCM, so there is no CMSS effect there.
    If you can connect your amplifier through several analog connections, then you can use CMSS aswell, otherwise your amplifier might have it's own upmix option like ProLogic.

  • Audigy 2 Value Digital Output O

    Hello
    I recently bought an Audigy 2 Value and connected it into my expternal amplifier via the digital out connector. Is there a digital output only option hidden somewhere that would mute all the other outputs? It isn't under the advanced window of Play Control, that's where my old SBLi've used to have it. Thank you!

    alright, i read the knowledge base articles and saw that the tests won't output more than left and right, but still, it's not working for my dvd's. i have my receiver set to "direct". is that right? i'm using windows media player for the dvd playback, should i try something else? do i have to install an AC3 codec? do i have to enable something in media player? anything please

  • Audigy 2 Value digital out not work

    I'm trying to use the digital out on my audigy 2 value card using my onkyo system (6. with a receiver). at first i tried using a stereo /8" male to /8" male cord with one end using a /8" to rca adapter and hooking that up to my coax input on my receiver. using that, i was only able to get 2.0 sound (no sub signal). I have my receiver set to 'direct' input so it receives whatever PCM or DD signal is sent. I tried both mp3's and dvds and nothing gives more than 2.0. I called tech support and was told i needed to use a mono cable. i went to radio shack and got a /8" mono (male) to phono (female) adapter and hooked it up to one end of a phono (male) to phono (male) cord and plugged them into the respecti've places on my soundcard and receiver (coax). Still only 2.0. I did the speaker test in speaker settings and it confirms only 2.0 because all i hear is "front left" and "front right". what's wrong? I'm about to go nuts on this.

  • Logitech Z-5500 + Audigy 2 ZS = DIGITAL PROBLEM

    Today I buy Logitech Z-5500 Digital, i have Audigy 2 ZS clasic
    I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM I CANNOT CONECT THE SPEAKER WITH optical cabel.
    WHY ? HELP ME PLEASE !!!!
    I buy Optical TOSLINK gold cabel and conet him to sound card, and to the Digital SoundTouch? Control Center, then turn on, and do nothing the control center will not detect the conection over optical cabel.
    on display its this: Input: DIRECT 96-24
    i dont know what do ?
    its reqaied a special conector cable to the audigy or what ?
    ( i enable in windows all digital conection )
    ( maybe its wrong the conector on sound card, or in sound control center, i buy 3 others cables and nothing )
    PS: sorry for me english its not main language i from slovakia

    You say you have the Direct input selected? That's the wrong one. There is a button on the remote that says "Optical" you need to press to switch to optical input.
    You are using the optical output on the Audigy dri've bay aren't you? The digital output on the back of the Audigy soundcard is not an optical output, it's for digital coax.

  • Audigy 4 Pro digital input 16 - 24

    I have a Sony MDS-JB920 minidisc deck hooked up to my Audigy 4 Pro through the external box. Works fine.
    However, the Minidisc deck allows one to set both the digital input and output to either 6, 20 or 24 bit. As the Audigy 4 Pro is 24 bit, I've set the deck to 24 bit for both in and out. So far no problems. If I watch the settings panel whilst playing a minidisc however, it indicates that the signal coming from the MD deck is 6 bit, although the deck is set to supply 24 bit through the SPDIF out.
    When I put the MD deck on rec mode whilst the PC is supplying audio feed, the MD deck loops it back to the SPDIF input of the Audigy and then the software does display 24 bit signal coming from the MD deck.
    This is very confusing to me, does anyone have an explanation?

  • How do I enable digital signatures in Reader?

    I have created a form using Adobe Standard 9.2.  It has a digital signature field and no security settings.  The properties indicates that signing is allowed.  However, if I open the form with Reader 9.2, the properties indicate that signing is not allowed.  Using the Advanced menu, I then Extend Forms Fill-In and Save in Adobe Reader.  The pop-up window indicates that digital signing will be allowed but when I open the form in Reader, didgital signing is still not allowed.  Training from Linda.com appears to indicate that this should work.  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the core of the issue is that Acrobat Standard edition only allows the user to add the form fill-in and save Reader extension. In order to add the digital signature Reader extension you would either need Acrobat Pro (or Pro Extended), or the Adobe LiveCycle Reader Enablement server. The bottom line is you cannot do what you are looking to do with the Standard edition.

  • SPDIF passthrough with Audigy SE and Digital I/O Car

    Does anyone have this working or know if its possible with Vista 32bit's?Comparing my pc (built-in soundcard) with my new PC that has the Audigy, it looks like there are some tabs missing in Control Panel in the Playback->Digital Output Device screen, but I'm not sure if thats relevant or not. Maybe its possible to set SPDIF passthrough somewhere else?

    Ok, well...can anyone tell me, for certain, which cards work with SPDIF passthrough in Vista? I really need this working, and if I have to buy another card, that would suck, but I need it for my htpc.

  • Audigy 2 NX digital multichannel supp

    Hi,I'm?trying to set up my home theater,And I want to know, if my Audigy 2 NX supports digital output with multichannel support,From what I tried to find out I just got more confused...So my question is simple:Optical or coax... and with?shutting down the internal SB decoder,will I get a raw?multichannel?dolby signal from the digital jacks to send the amp to decode?Or is it totally impossible?Many thanks??

    Even this is a very old post, I have a very similar setup so I thought I'd comment.
    I have the Marantz 4600, also brand new.
    I'm also using digital Coax.
    I can pass through basically anything I throw at it no problems.
    The Marantz does an Awesome job of rendering the audio, BTW.
    PS. My marantz disables all the fancy surround processing as soon as I go 96Khz or higher, does yours?
    Anyway, it Works with both PowerDVD (5 and 6) and WinDVD, in these applications I need to set them to SPDIF out. I also set the card to digital only mode - don't know if this is important.
    You might want to try dvd genie to unlock a few extra features of your DVD player software.
    Remember that the DVD you play needs to be DTS or prologic or some other format supported by the Marantz, and also playing the main feature. Many DVD's use stereo PCM in the menu (even if you select DTS/DD5.), and don't switch until the actual movie starts.
    Also. you NEED USB 2.0 for it to work, verify your OS and drivers, etc. USB. does not have the bandwidth. If your NX is a bit older you might need to grab the latest driver from creative and/or flash the NX's firmware to get it to support USB 2.0.

  • SB Audigy- Recording from Digital Piano or Phonogr

    Have an electric piano with RCA (L/R) Output. Tried recording with the Audigy Card Front Aux 2 RCA Inputs. I have recording device set to Aux 2. Also tried What You Hear and every other selection available.
    Does the recording source have to be "amplified" to record using the front RCA's. I have to turn playback volume way up to hear anything. Very high hiss noise at this level.
    The Audigy records an electric guitar (through the lin 2 jack) very well and it is not amplified. ( ALL Input devices in the mixer are at full volume (not muted)
    Any suggestions please

    KokChoy-CL,
    Maybe you could also help with this (please):? the Mic input doesn't work on a new SB Audigy SE. I've been reading a lot of posts regarding this problem, but no solutions anywhere.
    The Audigy SE uses a "FlexJack" for:? Line In/Mic In/Digital I/O (DIGITAL_IO); all via the same?blue jack. I haven't tried Line In or Digital I/O, but the Mic input is not working.
    I know the?Mic is good (the?Mic?works with both onboard audio?and?a SoundBlaster Li've! card on the same machine).
    I read elsewhere (for the X-Fi card) that there is a setting for controlling which input?to use on the FlexJack--this setting is nowhere to be found in the Audigy software.

Maybe you are looking for
