Cant record cd on optical out on kt4 ultra

right here it is, me bitch of a problem:
picture this, my optical output will work fine wiv my mp3's and i can get them onto a minidisc and we all live happily ever after. but as soon as i go for a cd, although there is a signal, when i play it back all i get is just a silent recording that lasts as long as the track itself. make any sense? no! plus i cant get cd syncro-recording either but that aint important, just some substance to the recordings would be nice.
well, whoever or whatever is reading this, if you have any info, please please please reply i would be so grateful.
later dudes

your mobo could be short circuiting.

No optical-out sound on MSI KT4-Ultra!!

Hi, I have recently set up a system based on the MSI KT4-Ultra board. I'm using an Athlon XP 1700+, a Radeon 9000 video card, and I've installed Windows 98.
Although all the drivers and audio applications which MSI provided installed fine, and 2-channel audio from the on-board sound chip works great both for music and for the 3-4 games I've installed so far, I can't seem to get the optical SPDIF port to work! I bought a cable and connected the computer to my Sony MD-player and attempted to copy my CDs onto MD. I go into the MSI control panel and check the box to enable SPDIF-out, removing the speaker cable from the analog line-out just for good measure. When I plug the optical cable into my MD it recognises digital input and prepares for recording. I press record on the MD and play on the computer's CD-player app, but the MD LED shows "no signal". I'm pretty sure both the MD recorder and cable are OK since I've used them to copy CDs from a Kenwood portable CD-player quite recently, so it must be the MB that's giving me problems. Indeed, when I've stopped playback in the CD-player app and went back into the audio control panel, I found that the SPDIF box had been unchecked of its own accord. I've tried this several times, and I've unplugged the S-bracket and reinstalled it all over again just to make sure it was plugged in properly, and I still get the same problem. All audio works fine except optical out! Haven't got a coaxial cable or recorder so I can't check if the coaxial port is equally buggered or if it's just the optical, but I'm getting really annoyed here: this was the one feature I liked best about this board and the only one which isn't working! Any ideas, anyone?

dude, i think i can get u ur signal, but currently i can only get silent recordings, u may have better luck.
on the minidisc, there should be a switch or button that will toggle synchronised recording on and off, turning it off should get u a signal, but it wont be in sync wiv the cd, ie u cant trust it to form track gaps.
hope that helps, done flame me if it dont, if i manage to get substance to my recording, i will send u the info just in case.

KT4 Ultra - How do I enable optical digital out?!

OK, guys, now I'm this far: | | from going totally nuts here. How on earth do I enable digital out on the onboard C-Media soundcard on the KT4 Ultra? I used to have the KT3 Ultra, and that had a special mixer setting that did that trick, but I can't find anything here. I have heard mentioning of an MSI control panel item, but I have none. Is this a fault from my installation of the mobo, or does it not excist?
Hope somebody can help me, I have done without this for quite some time (I hadn't even connected the sound bracket), but with my main optical soundcard blown I really need this now!
Thanks a lot in advance! 8)

Thanks again. I did, and it worked. The amusing thing is that afterwords I tried uninstalling the apps, and the digital still worked. So now I get to keep the digital output without any annoying extra sound apps! :D
My next project is probably impossible: I'm trying to get a Zoltrix Nightingale Pro 6 to work with digital output. I actually had it working nicely side by side with the C-Media interal soundcard (it just renamed the interal soundcard to "C-Media xxx 2"), but I could not get digital output. So my guess is that they are mutually excluding. But I can probably put the Zoltrix in another computer and run that zone (we're talking multi-zone sound system here) from that PC. 8)

Xdock Optical out to MD in?

Hi there,
have just become the proud owner of an Xdock transmitter & receiver pair. Unfortunately, my pride is draining away fast!
I bought this to connect to a Sony micro system that only has an MD (optical) in.
Having connected it up, I'm getting no sound. I have checked using the headphone socket that sound is indeed being produced.
Have been reading the manual that came with it, and am now fearing that it only outputs DTS encoded data.
I've no idea what the MD stream would be - plain stereo? - but any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Heeb

Thanks for the quick reply, but no, that's not the system (model num HCD-SE - it's a few yrs old, but otherwise a nice bit of kit).
My system has both MD in and MD Out - presume for recording from CD (I've naturally tried both!). Only other connection is CD optical out.
There is most definitely not any aux-in (wouldn't have purchased this almost lovely piece of kit otherwise)!.
I still fear it's some kind of encoded bitstream (DTS) coming out the dock, which the micro system just doesn't understand. If that's the case, I guess I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to the xdock to alter this?
Thanks,
Heeb
UPDATE - managed to track down the Sony system manual - says that the MD in is to connect an optional analog component.

Optical out...but wait, m

Im sorry if this has been asked before. I did look, but failed to see anything relevant.
Now, I have the Creative X-Fi Extreme gamer. I have it all working just fine under Vista. Awesome sound.
Now, the problem here-in lies. I want to add a 5. system into the loop. Just a cheapish one for gaming. For the most part I will have my headphones on, but when the missus goes to bed, I want to have the option of putting it out to speakers.
I was looking at:
http://uk.europe.creative.com/shop/product.asp?category=3&subcategory=9&product=357&p age=
Which fit the price range nicely. BUT MY MICROPHONE is a MUST. I see on this card that the Optical out doubles as the mic port. I have looked to see if there is a way I can juggle my jacks like you could with Realtek on board.
I cant seem to find such an option. So if I plugin a 5. through the optical, what happens to my mic?
I play in a clan using Ventrilo (VoIP program), so I really do need access to my mic.
Im kind of surprised that a card aimed at gamers would seemingly have a poor mic set up, especially as games these days have VoIP built in.
Maybe I am way off base, am hoping there is a solution.

Hi Eclectik
Creative Inspire T600 connect to the X-Fi via Line Out Jack ,2 and 3. Don?t have SPDIF connection so don?t need use Optical Out (flexijack port), can use mic.

Optical Out

I set up my power mac g5 with an optical out cable to a surround sound receiver but no noise at all is coming out. The receiver is set up right, I changed the settings to optical out and nothing is happening. Anything this could be? Thanks

Hi,
Actually, they do make optical cables like that.
Many of the old mini-disk players from the mid-to-late 90's used them for recording. For those who may not know or remember (of have purposefully forgotten) mini-disk was supposed to be the next big thing in a small portable "walkman-style" cd player/recorder. This was obviously before MP3 players took over and became so huge.
They used this mini-jack digital cable that had an optical mini-jack connector on one end and a regular optical connector on the other. With this cable you could record a digital signal from a standard CD player to the mini-disk player.
You should be able to find the cable at any Circuit City or Best Buy-type store.
Best regards.

Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Optical Out not working???

Hey friends,
I purchased a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCIe yesterday to run on Windows 7 64bit to trigger VSTi instruments. I can hear the VSTi play fine when I have headphones plugged into the soundcard but I want to send the audio sound OUT via the Optical Out into my Steinberg MR86x firewire audio card. ?
I can see the light on the optical cable but no sound seems to be being sent from the sound blaster into the steinberg card.
?Now before people start saying you cant do that, I have have been doing this for the last 3 years and it has been great apart from my RME Audio card is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit hence why I purchased the soundblaster.
I really am at a loss as to what I can try next, I have been through this forum and tried a few recommended tweaks but nothing? Am I missing something obvious here?
I am using the following drivers
Driver: v2.7.008 Windows 7 64bit
DTS Connect: for Windows 7 64bit
Also in the Audio Control Panel / SPDIF I/O all options are greyed out apart from the Digital Output tickbox, I only want to use this card for Audio as in creating music or specifically for triggering VST synths.
I would really appreciate any advice
Thanks in advance

Re: Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Optical Out not working?I have same card, same?OS?and lots of problems.
Analog outputs(control panel->sound->speakers) disappears when boot or reboot, sometimes it works week, sometimes a hours. When it works, it's works ok, but suddenly during boot,?all sounds is lost, when trying launch for example Creative Audio Control Panel this message appears: There are no supported audio device available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now.
And when analog outputs disappears, no any sound via SPDIF, even it shows in notification area and control panel->sound and in device manager.
I have owned card about two months, once change card in warranty, and?several uninstall, cleaning traces, reinstall and card works for while?and?out of blue, when boot computer, no sounds at all and only way to get sounds back is driver uninstall, cleaning and reinstall.
Creative Customer Support seems to be clueless, but make Technical Support Request if problems continue. And all other too, if problems like that appears, contact to Creative, maybe they really try?to do?something abuot it and not just send instructions how to uninstall and reinstall drivers.

Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor - recording audio from optical digital in - sound drops

Hi guys
I've had an audigy 2 zs video editor for a couple of months now and it's greatly improved my audio output from my computer.
But the other day I started trying to record vinyl onto my computer directly.
In the past I've always used my hifi cd recorder deck, then ripped the audio off the cd.
So I have my turntable connected to my amp, and I use my minidisc deck as a DAC, then record using an optical from my minidisc DAC, to the optical input on the front of the audigy.
So I fire up the creative smart recorder software and start messing with the levels.
I also use a free bit of software from
http://www.darkwood.demon.co.uk/PC/meter.html
called meterV which gives me a larger and more prominent read out of the level.
I then fine tune the output level on my DAC.
I have the stereo line out sockets on my audigy connected to an input on my hifi amplifier for listening to digital music etc.
So I start the vinyl and the sound starts coming through my DAC into my soundcard, the level readings start going, and the sound comes out of my hifi speakers.
My amp's switched to the audigy input - not the turntable
The problem is... every 30 seconds or so, the sound cuts out for 2-3 seconds and then resumes.
But the sound doesn't drop off on the level meters, or on the actual recording (recording 44.khz, 6bit wav file).
Only on the stereo line out of the audigy.
I ran the following test to see if the sound also cut out on the optical and coax outputs...
Whilst recording from the optical input, I've also tried recording to a minidisc portable from the optical out at the same time.
And the sound cuts out the same as when listening to the stereo line outs.
So the sound cuts off on the line out, the optical out, and also the coax out.
But this only happens when recording from the optical input.
When recording from the stereo line in - the sound doesn't cut out on any output!!!
The input selected in creative smart recorder is SPDIF.
This problem happens when smart recorder isn't even running - if I'm just listening to the line outs the sound cuts out.
But if I'm just playing back an MP3 or any sound, and there's nothing coming into the inputs, then playback is fine!!
So it's not a connection issue!
It doesn't seem to be triggered by sound frequencies - it seems to happen every 30-40 seconds no matter what is being recorded (it does the same thing when playing a CD so it's not just when using a turntable)
I've tried restarting the computer several times.
All the connections are properly seated.
I've had task manager loaded whilst this is happening to check CPU usage, and nothing - it just continues in a fairly straight line as normal. No spikes in CPU usage (I would have thought it unlikely that the video editor would be affected by such things anyway being an external box).
There is nothing else connected to USB - other than an internal memory card reader attached to a motherboard USB header.
And a wireless adaptor also connected to the motherboard - but the problem still happens when the wireless adaptor is disabled.
There's also nothing else connected to the USB ports on the Video Editor box.
Machine spec:
Shuttle SN4G2-v3
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
GB memory
80GB IDE HDD, 2 x external Lacie FireWire 250GB dri'ves
LG dual layer dvd/rw/ram
Win XP Pro SP2
I've not upgraded firmware or drivers - just used the installation from the CD.
What confuses me is why this only happens when recording from the optical input, and it affects all outputs but the recording and the level monitor show no trace of the temporary loss in sound!
So the audigy is receiving the sound, but it just drops off the outputs for some reason!
Any ideas?
I hope the above explanation is clear.
Thanks
Ben

Ok, so I go to Creative Device Control, and on the PCI/USB tab I've changed the sampling rate to 48khz.
It was previously at 44.kHz
The bit depth is still at 6bit
Now the problem seems to be solved.
The problem was only with the output from the device. And now there are no skips!!
Excellent!
Why has that solved it though?
I've read on other forums (head-fi) that the audigy cards do not run at 44.kHz nati'vely so the sound has to be downsampled.
Is that skipping an artefact of that downsampling process?
Will having that set at 48kHz, but recording to a 44.kHz 6bit wav file theoretically reduce the quality of the recording - compared to having it set at 44.kHz and recording a wav at 44.kHz?
On the SPDIF tab the input sample rate is shown as 44.kHz - as that's what is output by the DAC in my minidisc deck.
But when I changed the sampling rate on the PCI/USB tab, the SPDIF output sampling rate also changed to 48kHz.
This means if I wanted to record from the optical output, whilst also recording to the computer, and that device only supported 44.kHz - I can't do that?
You listed some main reasons to the truth, why Creative SB cards are not very popular on serious use (DAW). I.e. need for resampling. X-Fi's in creation mode are (least said to be) the only ones not resample everything.
There is a setting for "Bit-Accurate-Recording" (digital modes only) --> have you tried if that works on your recordings?

When I plug my headphones into the headphone/optical out jack programs hang

I have an iMac 20 inch LCD. On the back their is a jack with a picture of headphones, but it is also labeled as "optical out". I plug my headphones in and they work. Great. That is not my problem today.
My problem is that whenever I plug the headphones in or unplug them, iTunes (and other apps using audio) hangs and when I try to adjust the volume with the keyboard buttons nothing happens for 15 seconds or more and then the volume changes, not that anything is able to play. If I wait for a minute or so then all my applications start working fine again and I am able to hear my music and adjust the volume.
What in the world is going on?
1.8 Ghz G5 1.25GB RAM Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thank you. That is good information.
Does this mean that there is nothing I can do about the delay? When I think of a delay, I think of maybe 10 seconds. I am having to wait for a minute or more for my audio to switch. While I wait, I have no audio and any audio program hangs. Is there a setting I can change? It seems rather ridiculous that I have to wait so long just to switch from internal speakers to headphones.
It is like this on other Mac machines? Or it is just my iMac? I hate to compare Mac to Windows, but on Windows or Linux computers the switch is instantaneous.

How to switch off the red light (optical out) on my Audigy 2

I am not using the optical out most of the time, is there a way to switch off the red light coming out of optical out?red light is causing heat leading to cracks on the surface of the card.Please help soon. thx

Are you sure? AFAIK, LED's don't produce any significant amounts of heat. And, no, I don't think the light can be switched off.
