Cables for digital output for DTT2500 and Audigy 2 ZS

Hi, I lost the DIN cable for my DTT2500 speakers in a move. I've already read the article http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=270
I'm having a hard time finding the correct cables to get the full digital experience out of my setup. DTT2500 5.1 speakers and Audigy 2 ZS. I game, listen to music and watch DVDs on my computer. Can someone link me some product pages where I could buy the necessary cables?

Hello Jason,
Could you tell me if I can still buy the cable below in order to connect DTT2500 with Audigy 2 ZS?
9-pin Mini Din to 9-pin Mini Din (2 meters - Red)

Audigy 2 value where is the option for digital output? Help

i have the creative inspire 5700 and the audigy 2 value but i cant find the checkbox for "digital output only"
where can i find it's Pls help me !!!

That is not the problem however it is located in the speaker setup window and all it does is disable the line outs, digital is always turned on and cannot be turned off. I suggest you re-read the 5700 manual. Tell me which lights you have on.

Digital output for SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Prob

I am trying to connect SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum to my Amplifier (Sony DVP-NS92V) via the SPDIF coaxial digital connection (I have also tried the digital output at the rear panel), unfortunitely the output i got is only on the left and right front speakers. I am currently having a 7. channel surround system. I have clicked both the dital output only under speaker settings and advanced control for play control, and I have also?tried by using both DTS and THX media file, but still does not work. Can anybody help ?

With a digital connection (optical or coaxial SPDIF) that is normal. Check this sticky thread for more info:

Converting analog 5.1 (multiple cables) to Digital DIN (for Inspire 5700), how?

Hi,
So far I've been using my Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 speaker system together with my Audigy Platinum in my Desktop PC to watch DVDs and play games with a 5.1 experience. To connect soundcard and Speaker system, I used the provided Digital DIN cable, and it worked fantastically, for both, DVDs and games.
Now I bought a notebook and the only choice to improve onboard sound was the X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook. I thought that I could simply connect it to my Inspire 5700 by connecting optical out with optical in using a TosLink-Mini -> Toslink cable. While this may work for DVDs (I don't have the cable yet), it won't work for all other applications, because as I read optical connections only provide a stereo signal unless the signal it'ss encoded via AC3 or DTS.
Of course there is the docking module which provides multichannel analog out. Trouble here: the Inspire 5700 only comes with two analog line in channels, front and rear. So that would lead to 4.0 instead of 5.1. Missing the center speaker for games is very bad.
Therefore I am looking for a way to convert the analog signal coming from the docking module into something that can be decoded as a 5.1 signal by the Inspire 5700. I have already found the DTS-610 which would turn the analog signal into a DTS signal. But that costs more than the soundcard itself.
So, my question: Is there any simpler / cheaper way how to transform multicable analog 5.1 to one-cable digital 5.1, either AC3, DTS or Digital DIN? I'd prefer a simple converter to Digital DIN, because that's what the Inspire 5700 was mainly designed for and it worked perfectly with my old Audigy.
Alternatively, one could possibly also use some fancy software to convert all the wave-out sound into AC3 or DTS and send it along the optical cable. But I don?t know any such software plus I expect this to drain a lot of processor power.
Any help is greatly appreciated it'ss kind of frustrating that two products of the same company can't be connected with each other, just because neither, the card nor the docking module provide Digital DIN.
Thank you very much and best regards

P.S. in another post, pjc said: You will probably require a 4-pole mini-jack > DIN converter to connect your Creative speakers to this socket.
That's exactly what I'm looking for, but I couldn't find such a converter on the creative homepage.

I believe the DIN for soundcard are mainly built and solely used by Creative. I don't think there is any 3rd-party converter in the market to do DIN. There is a software here posted by some other users that can do AC3 encoding on the fly. Not too sure where's the post now but you can do a search for it.

Trouble specifying TTL for digital outputs from PCI-6221

Hi!
I'm trying to generate TTL output signals using a PCI-6221 daq board - within Labview, I'm using DaqMx to create two digital waveforms and then write these. When I plug in an oscilloscope, the shapes/frequencies of the signals are correct, but the lower value is 0V, and the higher value is 1V, rather than the TTL values. Is there a way to specify these voltage levels to TTL within the software? I see from NI help that "do.logicfamily" exists to specify TLL, but when I add a property node and connect it to the channels, I do not see Logic Family as an option under "digital output." Let me know if you have any ideas!
Thank you,
Emily

Set your oscilloscope to use 1MOhm impedence. Your problem is that the maximum current for those DIO is 24mA. 1V/50 Ohms = 20mA. So you are current limiting the digital outputs. If you need more current, then you need to add in some digital buffer chips that can output more current.

Cannot select Digital output for ZS 2 Noteb

Hi, I just got an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card today, installed it, seems to work, but I also got these 5. headphones... The headphones can be plugged in either from the 3 Analog outputs from the card's docking station, or a single /8" cord, which I assume would be digital. I tried using the 3 analog outs, but when I tried to calibrate the 'speakers', front and rear sound exactly the same (front left and rear left sound as if they are in the same position, same with right), so I tried using the single /8" cable plugging it into the card's digital out, and it sounds much clearer, but nothing plays when it tries to play from the center channel or rear channels, and "Digital Output" is shaded so it cannot be selected from the THX Setup Console...
If it helps, I have the Kinyo KY-00 headphones, and they have their own small amp, which may be causing the hissing sound.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

guh. I'm retarded. Somebody delete this topic

CFP-2220 using digital output for status to another cFP-2220

I have two cfp-2220 that I want to connect with each other using the DIO's of 5V that they have.
The problem that I have is that I don't know the impedance to connect the CFP2220-1 Digital Output 1 to a relay for switching the CFP2220-2 Digital Input 1.
I am using a relay for interfacing the signal. This relay needs 34mA 5V to operate. I am not sure if the CFP2220 would have the needed power to turn the relay on and to close the contact that will operate the CFP2220-2 Digital Input 1. In the user manual of the CFP2220 does not mention anything about it.
Thank you!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi ggarza:
Here is the current specification for the digital outputs on the 2220: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0147137D2442E4A9862572C100758895?OpenDocument. As you can see there, it only supports 3mA, so it would not be possible to use this relay. In addition to this, you should be careful using this outputs, as the manual specifies they are not isolated.

How to read back the output state for digital output or anlog output ?

I use NI-pci 6221(68PIN) Accquistion card to do measurmet,after i do digital output ,or anlog output ,I find that the output will be maitained by the card.even after i exit my accquistion program.But if i reset the card ,the ouptut also will be reset.
Now if i don't reset the card ,how can i read back the output state,?

Hi Mike,
There is no way for you to internally route an analog output to an analog input. The only solution is to physically connect the two lines together with a wire.
I came to this conclusion through the following steps:
1- Start MAX and select the DAQmx device under "Devices and Interfaces>>NI-DAQmx Devices" that you want to internally route signals through.
2- Click on the "Device Routes" tab on the bottom of the right hand window (It defaults to the "Attributes" tab)
3- Line up the Source with the Destination to see if the connection can be internally routed (either direct or indirect)
I came to the above conclusion by following these steps for a PCI-6251 DAQ device (the analog output & input do not exist in the "Device Routes" tab therefore they do not support internal routing), but you should verify this for your specific hardware. Let me know if you have any other questions/concerns.

Using mathscript to generate multiple digital outputs for switch control

Hello
I am new to this NI LV and a have kind of a basic question. I would like to use Mathscript to generate an array of bolean numbers which will be used to control the Digital I/O lines. I am using NI 6251 USB device and the Mathscript code runs well. But I have a problem using this array to control the Digital output. So I created a simple test programme where I set the DAQ assitant to generate 4 digital outputs(P0.0 ~ P0.3) and it gives error that ".. number of channels in the data does not match the number of channels in the task..." (see attachment) . How can I solve this problem thank you.

looks like you did not initialize all 4 of the elements in the bool array....

How to combine Digital Output, a delay and Analog Input in a fast loop

I need to develop a process loop that runs at least at 250 Hz that performs a Digital output, than a delay of 50 microseconds and than an analog input of all the channels. All will be done using ATI MIO 64E3 card. Of course, the acquired data will be processed, displayed and saved. The loop will be running for several minutes until user stops it.

The fastest and most precise timing will occur if you use hardware timing. You can apply hardware timing to analog input on the E Series boards, but not the digital lines. Let's focus on the analog input first. Continuous waveform scanning uses a scan clock, which can be the board's internal one or an external one which you apply. If you want to scan all the channels 50 microseconds after a digital rising edge, then you need an external signal to signify that scan clock.
The E Series boards also have 2 counter/timers onboard that you can use for this purpose. You can set up a retriggerable pulse generation operation, where the counter receives a trigger and then on the user specifications, produces a pulse. You can have that route to the analog input scan clock.
The trigger signal for the counter is that digital pulse. As I mentioned earlier, there is no hardware timing for the digital lines on an E Series board. We do have other digital boards (653x family) that have hardware timed operations if precision is important. If you are satisfied with software's resolution (in the milliseconds), then you can call the E Series board digital function in a loop with a software timer. That digital line can route to the counter to act as the trigger.
So, on the programming side, you can have three separate and independent operations in parallel. One is for the digital function to output on that line every so often. Another is for the counter set at the retriggerable pulse generation. The last is for the analog input. I will describe this in terms of LabVIEW, but it can be done in a similar fashion with the NI-DAQ function calls or Measurement Studio.
The digital examples are in the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> Digital >> E-Series directory. The Generate Retriggerable Pulse example is in the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> Counters >> DAQ-STC directory. The E Series boards use the DAQ-STC timing chip.
Go to the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> anlogin >> strmdisk.llb directory and start with the Cont Acq to Spreadsheet File. This shows how to continuously acquire data and stream it to disk while displaying the data on a chart. Streaming to disk is the efficient way to save data while you are acquiring, as it eliminates the overhead of always opening and closing the file through the iterations of the loop. This saves to a file that can be opened by other applications (Excel, Word, etc.), but it is not as fast as writing to a binary file, which must be opened and read back through LabVIEW. However, for your ~250 Hz rate, it should be fine. Then, go to the LabVIEW >> Examples >> Daq >> anlogin >> anlogin.llb and look at the Acquire N Scans -ExtScanClk example. This shows how to apply the scan clock. Here, the AI Start that you saw in the previous example is replaced by 4 VIs (3 AI Clock Config's and the AI Control). Make those changes to the first example and then add a constant 0 to the AI Control parameter for total scans to acquire. That specifies the continuous operation. The File >> VI Properties >> Documentation menu item of the example describes the physical connections.
If you aren't using LabVIEW, use the NI-DAQ User Manual and the NI-DAQ Help file installed on your machine. You can look at your AT E Series User Manual at the http://www.ni.com/manuals pages for more information on the hardware. Also, if you want to route those signals internally on the board, you can find some entries in the KnowledgeBase at the http://www.ni.com/support pages.

Issue output options for reprinting output for delivery items

Hi Gurus,
I want to create the new output for delivery but at item level.
There is a standard proceduere available for trigger output at item level.
But I am not able to find the option to re-issue or see the print preview as that is not option is available in the standard menu at VL02N.
Due to this I am not able to debug the code as during triggering the output at item level both the program and script are called in background.
So is there any standard option available at item level to see the print preview as we can at header level.
If you requried any additional information then please let me know. Eagerly waiting for the reply.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi Arun,
Yes I want output to be trigger at the item level in the delivery.
If i tirgger the output that output at item level, i see the ouput as green (ie successful)
but when i got menu and try to issue to output i do not see this output type in the list and shows all header output types only..
Due to this i am not able to debug my program when doing print preview..
So i need a way where i can see the my program in debugging mode.
And VT70 is not useful to me i do no shippment no. but I have only delivery with me.

Sagar

ITunes and Audio Midi settings for digital output sampling frequency

Most of my music is sampled at the CD standard of 44.1 kHz, but some is 48 kHz.
I have Audio Midi set to output 48 kHz with 24-bit depth.
I've been told that to avoid having iTunes up-sample when playing 44.1 kHz music, that I need to quit iTunes, manually reset the setting in Audio Midi to the lower, matching, number, and then re-start iTunes.
This strikes me as odd. Is it true? If so, is there any less cumbersome way to deal with this?

Wheat I agree entirely with your last sentiments.
I had a similar problem to 'Luckydog'.
I have a Roland HP3 digital piano which itself is a standalone musical instrument (synthesiser if you like) but also has midi in/out and audio in/out.
I made the mistake of connecting my Mac PBG4/GB2 setup to my HP3 via the Edirol UM2 USB interface, expecting to hear my piano's sounds recorded in GB2. Of course GB2 did not record anything when I selected real instrument track beacuse the Roland, I think, was sending audio not midi data to GB2. What I have since realised is that to record a real instrument whether it be a digital piano (or acoustic piano via microphone) is to set the GB2 input to audio and feed the signal from the Roland via its audio outputs to my Mac via audio interface. (I have a USB Grifin iMic).
Of course I could use the Roland purely as a midi controler and select a software instrument track in GB2, but I also have a Radium 49 simple midi controller keyboard for that.
One thing that does puzzle me though is, that if I hook up my Roland via the UM2 to a WindowsXP laptop running an app. called Cakewalk Music Creator, the Roland sounds are recorded in the timeline and can be viewed, edited and printed as conventional music scores(great for composers!!) Also the Roland track recorded in CMC can be played back through the Roland's on-board sound generator.
In this scenario there is no audio feed between the Roland and the PC only two way midi via the UM2 USB/midi interface.
This is seems to be a fundamental difference between GB2 and the Cakewalk product. Can you explain what's going on hear Wheat?.
Sorrry such a long post !!

Cable for digital output on airport express?

what cable do I need to use the digital optical output on airport express? Can I use it to feed a DAC upsampling converter such as the DACMAgic? Thanks

Hello
I have just set up this as described.
I've noticed though that on the Dacmagic, the incoming sample rate, when connected via the Mini Toslink adapter to a Airport express is 44.1 - where as if I connect the Dacmagic directly to my Mac via USB, it jumps to 96.
Why is that and is it likely to affect the sound quality? Haven't had a chance to do a side by side comparison yet.

No 5.1 sound for digital output

My past mobo (asus) die, so I replaced with a 760GM-P23. I have a LG home theater with S/PDIF input and before I was able to watch my riped movies with 5.1 bypass sound. I get a S/PDIF bracket for this mobo and upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1. I only have stereo sound over S/PDIF. I installed latest realtek drivers and the configure button (speakers) is greyed. The Realtek Audio Manager doesn't show me any settings for speakers on the digital interface. Is this a motherboard issue ? a driver issue ? as I said, it Works just fine in my previous build... What can I do ?

Robbo69,
Unfortunately the GD580's were aimed specifically at the console gaming community and not at PC audio. That is why it does not have 5. analog inputs on the decoder box. Are you still able to return the speakers? If so I have a combination of speaker set and decoder box that will improve both the speaker quality and your abilities all the while keeping the cost fairly close to the retail cost of the GD580's. If you return the GD580's in exchange for a set to T5400 - http://us.creative.com/products/prod...5&product=5077
and a DDTS-00 - http://us.creative.com/products/prod...6&product=9468
You will gain almost double the wattage of the GD580's plus the ability to connect a 6. or 7. speaker system to the DDTS-00 at a later date. The current retails put this at about $30 dollars more...much less that what an Audigy 2 ZS would cost (although that is also worth considering).
That Audigy 2 ZS does not contain a real time AC3 encoder as right now there are factors with these kinds of encoders that make it a poor match with a high quality sound card (the real time encoding process is lossy and can severely limit the audio quality of the bit stream. With onboard cards this is not as large a problem since the source signal is of a lower quality).
