Compatability with klipsch promedia ultra 5.1

i'm trying to figure out if my standard soundcard for my 1.5 gh g4 powerbook, about 2 years old now, can be used with these speakers, or if i'd be wasting my money. i can get a used, apparently perfect working set for $150.00, but don't know how to make them work together. ie; what kind of connecting cable do i need. i've searched the net with google to no specific avail.
thanks in advance for any help.

If you want to get surround sound in games, you'll either have to buy an Dolby Digital Li've! card (Turtle Beach Montego or HDA X-Mystique) or get the Creative DTS-60 DTS Interacti've encoder (to convert analog to DTS digital).
If you just want surround for DVDs, you need to buy a hardware converter to go from coaxial to optical, like the one in the link below:

You'll also need a minijack to RCA cable. If you get a stereo one, just connect the white RCA end to the GMX pod.

  • Hum problem with DDTS-100 with Klipsch Promedia 5.1

    I have a problem with me decoder DDTS-100 since the beginning. I use it with Promedia 5.1 Klipsch kit.
    When I use digital sources either optical or coax, when my decoder does'nt receive any signal from my DVD or X-box, I am earing a big hum coming out from my speakers. And then when my DDTS-100 receive a digital signal the hum disapeer.
    I am not earing the hum when I use the analog input.
    I am very disapointed about this bug because when the volume is high I am worried about my Klipsch kit.
    Thanks in advance

    I finnaly found out my problem
    The buzz came out from my coax cable from my DVD. My DVD player was probably inducing 60Hz on the coax output.
    I switched to the optical output and no more buzz.
    I'll need to buy a new toslink cable to plug my x-box on the optical input #2
    Also I pluged my TV audio out in my st analog input, it also induced a 60 Hz on my DDTS-100. The decoder does not seem to filter out electric noises.
    I'm pretty happy to have found out my problem but I'm very dispointed that the DDTS-100 does not filter any electric noises.

  • Xbox 360 to Klipsch Promedia

    Hi all, I have an Xbox 360 that I'd like to connect to my Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5. surround system. The Klipsch system is not digital however, and is currently connected through a Soundblaster Audigy 2 NX. Klipsch used to make a Promedia DD 5. Digital Decoder, but not anymore. Are there any similar products, products from Creative, or any other suggestions? Any help is much appreciated

    If you mean you want to display the output of the Xbox on the iMac screen, there are several USB devices that can take a composite RCA or S-Video signal feed and display it on the iMac screen in a window or full-screen. I have this one.
    http://www.daystartechnology.com/AppleMac_Products/XLR8_Macintosh_Products/Mac_USB2_Video_Transfer_OSXPS.html
    It does standard definition, like a regular (not HD) TV. It's meant to be used with video capture software, so there are other similar products, but you can use the software to just display the live feed.

  • Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 compatible with iMac 12,2?

    After researching on line for a superior 2.1  external speaker component to purchase I bought the (wired) Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speaker system. The owner's manual states since ProMedia 2.1 has an internal amplifier, they are designed to use the "line-out" connector of (my) computer. I realize that my 27" iMac desktop (mid2011) does have a 3.5mm minijack output for both headphones & "line-out".
    My concern is will the Volume Control of the control pod interface correctly allow volume control of my speakers? Considering that the owner's manual states: "Some soundcard and /or PC manufacturers may have software that must be adjusted separately from the WINDOWS volume control. -&- "SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE GAIN CONTROLS" directions are described for :  "Software Volume Controls in Microsoft Windows" - ONLY!
    I (naively) have expectations that Best Buy, being that the are the only outlet that I could find that sells these Klipsch's speakers -&- have a APPLE "store within a (MF) store", should **** well know if the two items (Apple computers & Klipsch external speakers) are compatible with each other!!  SILLY ME!!!!
    I do NOT suffer FOOLS, gladly!!
    If someone has experience or an informed opinion, I would be very grateful for some input. I suppose I could unpack the speakers and experiment, but **** it, when will computer-affiliated businesses learn that PC does not equal MICROSOFT (!#$!%) WINDOWS?
    -fpn

    Wondering if you ever got these to work. We purchased yesterday on a whim & after set up smelled hot metal & LED light went out on the one that has the controls. Only noises we have got out of them is a strange loud feedback & a pop when they are turned on or off. What gives?

  • SATA11 is it compatable with all controller cards

    I want to add 500gb HD's to my G4 Giga and know I need a SATA controller card, I am considering this one card pic is this card compatable with SATA11 hard drives?

    Thanks Japamac, can I go through this deadhead style...
    You can install as many OS's as you want. When you
    set your Startup Disk Preferences, you are able to
    select the OS that you want, as well as the disk that
    you want.
    Does this mean I have to make a partion thing on the same disk for each (even the same) OS?
    Do I use the original install disks to do this?
    Another way to select startup disk/OS, is to boot
    while holding the Option key. This will open the
    Startup Manager, and allow you to select which and
    where you want to boot from.
    This is the screen I remember from my Apple Care Plan Help Desk days
    It is a good idea to have a second (and third)
    bootable disk in your system.
    Is the third disk on a partion thing ( I have researched this and have found, using "disk utility" I can make "partitions", if I understand correctly, my machine will "see" a partition as a separate disk, am I miles off?
    That way, heaven
    forbid, should one disk have trouble booting, you can
    use the Startup Manager to select an alternate disk,
    and then diagnose and repair the ailing disk from
    there.
    Do I use "disk utility" from another partition disk to do this?
    This is, actually, a very important thing to
    have in your system. by all means, install the OS on
    the other disk.
    A partition on the 120gb, how big should the partition be?
    Remember, to keep both disks backed up. So, don't
    give up on your external drives all together. They
    are VERY useful.
    This is where you are going to hate me... I dont have any externals or back ups.... this is why I am trying to work out what to do... I back up my photo's to DVD when I have enough, its not good practice because it can take a months worth before I have time to physically go through all the work to decide what I will archive to DVD, I would love for all of the work to automatically copy itself to a safe place.
    While we are on the subject, a very good way to
    backup, is to use Super Duper. This is a clone
    utility. SD will copy bit for bit, your drive, and
    then make that backup bootable. This is a very nice
    feature. Also, after that, you can use the Smart
    Update feature, which updates any changes of a volume
    to it's clone. This way, you always have an exact
    copy of your system and data. Invaluable!
    This is obviously what I need... I will download it and try to understand its functions
    I like OWC, myself. Even with shipping and tariffs to
    Japan, it is most often cheaper to do so. Also, the
    company is very reputable, has great service (try
    their live chat) and stands behind what they sell.
    OWC also has lots of install tutorial video (and
    PDF's) in their support section. Check it
    out.
    I have trusted OWC since you recommended them for my processor upgrade and have just ordered the SATA controller from them and am going to get a 500gb internal HD for now until I can learn to rationalise my disk space... at the moment my files are just copies of themselves on the same disk (120gb)
    Hey Japamac... I have to say thank you to you sir, you have obviously put a lot of time and effort into your reply and I really do appreciate it...
    As Arnie says.... "I will be back"

    Im having random resets with a kt3 ultra and a MSI GF3 ti200 in 3d games; namely Mafia and Bf1942. Ive tried new drivers for the video card, checked the cpu temp, and bios settings. Any ideas on how to fix it or is their a compatibility problem with the mobo and the video card?

  • Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

    I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8.  This was months ago.
    I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
    I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
    If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

    Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

  • Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

    Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

    I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
    DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
    Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
    Thank you,

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

  • I have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?

    i have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?
    i had the facebook app but i could never upgrade it and i was ok with using the outdated version but when i reset the ipod so i could gift it to a friend it obviously got rid of the app and now i cant downloaded because it says its not compatable, how can i download the version i had before i reset it?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Itunes 9.1 not compatable with XP?

    Tried to download 9.1 and keep getting error message that says: The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. Continuing installation of this software may impair or destabilize operation of your system either immediately or in the future.
    I have reboot computer several times, etc. Have never had a problem with any updates to itunes or iphone till now.
    Thoughts?

    Itunes 9.1 is definitely NOT compatible with Windows XP at this time. The culprit appears to be the Bonjour services package. I recently attempted to install via 3 methods: through Apple Update, via direct download over wireless and via direct download over wired connection. The result was the same in all three instances: when attempting to start itunes 9.1, it would immediately crash with a message "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close...". Upon checking the application event viewer (control panel > performance & maintenance > administrative tools > event viewer) I was able to determine that the itunes crashes were due to Bonjour in all but one instance. Bottom line: steer clear of itunes 9.1 until Apple gets their comparability issues corrected.

  • I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lighroom 5 if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?

    I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lightroom 5 okay if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?  What will happen to the applications that aren't 64-bit compatible?  Also the Eye-one Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate the monitor will not run on Lion, so that will be an expensive upgrade to an i1DisplayPro. Is the upgrade important enough to offset the expense?  I have an Epson R2000 printer.  Will there be problems with the drivers if I upgrade to Lion?  It would be great to hear from other mac users who are also photographers and who print their own photos.

  • SQL Server Express compatibility with Windows 8.1 - Which version(s) are compatible?

    We have purchased a new computer that has Win 8.1 Pro. We are migrating an application from a Win 7 Pro machine we are currently successfully using (the vendor migrates it for us) and they have said that the application will require the installation of SQL
    Server 2008 Express (which we do have on our Win 7 machine).
    In looking at the requirements for SQL Server 2008 Express (on the download page for it), it does not mention it being compatible with Win 8.1  
    In addition, Installation Instructions  says that it requires:
     Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
     Windows Installer 4.5.
     Windows PowerShell 1.0
    I see that 3.5 is already listed as a program feature of Win8.1 and I've enabled it. Do I need to install SP1? I downloaded it, and launched it, and nothing happened.
    I also looked at the Windows Installer 4.5 download page, and it's not clear if that is compatible with 8.1. Do I need to download and install it?
    Power Shell 2.0 is already installed. I assume that will be backwards compatible with PowerShell 1.0; is that correct?
    I saw another question about SQL Server Express Compatibility with Win 8.1 (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/038ec00e-4fc1-41ba-9fdc-21c022aad67e/action?threadDisplayName=sql-server-express-compatibility-with-windows-81) and the response
    said that SQL Server Express 2012 will work, but the link contained in the answer led to a page for SQL Server Express 2014.  
    My vendor has told me that SQL SERver Express 2012 will be backwards compatible with their product. But they said that I would first have to install 2008 first. Is that correct for Win 8.1?
    So, the ultimate questions are:
    1. What is the link for Sql Server 2012 Express for Win 8.1? 
    2. Will the SQL Server 2012 Express download require prior install of the 2008 version
    3. What other component requirements are required for SQL Server 2012 Express, and how can I determine if they have already been installed. (This is a brand new computer with a clean Win8.1 Install).
    4. Finally, can we use the 2014 version of SQL Server Express for Win 8.1? If so, questions 1, 2 and 3 apply, too.
    Thanks for your help on this!! HIGH ANXIETY. 

    Hello,
    The following article provides which updates are required to make SQL Server versions compatible with Windows 8 or 8.1:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us
    1. You can use the product updates feature on SQL Server 2012 to make it compatible with Window 8.1. Apply SP1 as described on the following
    article:
    http://www.sqlcoffee.com/SQLServer2012_0008.htm
