Connecting Mic & Ear Case Connections to Audigy M

I'm wondering if it is possible to connect my case's ear and mic connections to my soundcard inside my computer. My Case is the Tsunami Dream VA3000 series and in it I have a Soundblaster audigy MP3+ soundcard. Perhaps I can connect these to the soundcard's external dri've connectors? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

I'm having the same issue. I have a case with connectors for both headphones and a microphone. I've been trying to get them connected to my audigy mp3+ card so that I can use a headset from the front panel connectors on my case.
I've looked up all the documents online here and managed to locate a list of the jumper/ping configurations. I also noticed that the audigy users guide mentions a front panel line-level output connection somewhere, which leads me to believe that the card should support this type of connection.
But for the life of me I can't figure out which pins to connect all those little wires to so that I can use this headset.
I'm using a quad-speaker setup in the rear, so plugging the headset into the rear outputs is out of the question.
Can anybody help?

How i can connect SB Audigy 2 ZS to Onkyo TX-SR502E by digital interfa

Sorry for my english. How i can connect SB Audigy 2 ZS to Onkyo TX-SR502E by digital interface. I tried connect SB Digital Out to Onkyo Coaxial In and enable "digital out", but don't hear sound.

I don't know if you have tried this or not, but you have to enable SPDIF output in your Creative Settings, and possible your other software, ie - Media player(s), DVD Players, etc.
There is a Sticky at the top of this page that explains Digital Output.

Digitally Connecting Soundblaster audigy 2 to sonydav s550 home theatre sys

Hi, I have a Soundblaster audigy 2 im not sure which model but it has a pink digital out audio socket on the back of it. My sony system has a digital optical in socket on it. I am having problems connecting them. I brought the following
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...gital&doy=26m5
as it has a miniplug adaptor which i thought I could use on one end to connect to my soundcard digital output and connect the other end to my home theatre system. Did I get the wrong wire? If so what wire will I need to connect them, will miniplug not fit on the soundblaster digital out, what does? I have messed around with the control panels with no luck. Anyone have any ideas, by the way Im new to this. Thanks in advance

Hello all,
I am having a similar issue. I would like to connect my Audigy 2ZS to a Sony Reciever (STR DE-898) preferably via the digital out. The sound card and reciever are 25 feet apart.
I have read that the digital out on the Audigy 2ZS is specifically for creative lab speakers, and that if you connect it to a normal reciever that it may damage the reciever is this true?
Second, the other option that I have is to buy the 7. adaptor and connect RCA extension cables to the reciever.
The last option is to connect it to the regular headphone jack out, and use an extension cable to connect to the reciever (This is what I am currently using), but the sound quality is terrible.
Please help, I read the recent post on digital out ,which helped some, but still the question remains... if you connect the digital out on the Audigy 2ZS to a Sony receiver will this damage the receiver?Message Edited by asharabi98 on 05-27-2006 0:38 AMMessage Edited by asharabi98 on 05-27-2006 0:39 AM

Connecting Soundblaster Audigy 2 to 2 speaker syste

Hi all,
I am using a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS. My PC is connected to a 7. Creative THX system.
That is working pretty fine.
I also have my LCD TV connected to my PC as secondary display and I've got a Teufel 5. system which I want to connect to the audigy.
Reason: I want to watch movies played on my PC on my normal television. I could of course connect the audigy to the Teufel system, BUT this would mean switching cables all the time (from PC 7. to TV 5.).
Is there some kind of high quality switch with which I could save this reconnecting of cables all the time?
Thanks a lot in advance.
and kind regards
Sven

Coolermaster Wavemaster top panel Mic/Headphone jack connections to Audigy 2 ZS internal p

Sorry about the huge subject titl but that says it all.
I have a wavemaster case with a flip up panel carrying addtional USB ports firewire Plus Mic and speaker 3.5mm jacks. I wish to use the top panel conections for my head phones and leave my speakers perminatly plugged into the rear connections on the card itself.
The top panel connections are wired terminating in 4 single female sockets (L-out, R-out, Gnd and Mic in)
Question is which inturnal pins on the SB card should these 4 wires be plugged into to allow me to use the top panel jacks with a headphone/boom mic headset??
Any help much appicatied
Steve B

Hi All
I picked this up from the forum and it worked for me. The Gnd and Out puts L & R are ok. My Mic however does not work, MIc is fine if plugged into rear connections. Plugs are a little loose but if I can put the mic issue to bed then I will wire up a better plug.
"|A while back I stumbled across a pin out. When I changed cases I has the|opportunity to test it.||There are ten pins on the white connector. # is closest to the TAD|connector|| Analog Ground|2 Analog Headphone Out - Left|3 Audio Back panel Mute (when grounded)|4 Analog Headphone Out - Right|5 Audio Back panel Mute (when grounded)|6 Mic input|7 ?|8 Mic voltage reference|9 Mic in mute|0 Audio cable detect||My case is an Antec Sonata (yes it IS quiet) has the Intel connector but|also has individual connectors piggybacked on the cable which I connected as|follows.|| FPOUT-L|2 AUD GND|4 FPOUT-R|6 MIC|8 MIC-BIAS||It's a loose fit, but with some shimming, it works.

Connecting SB Audigy 2 ZS and Mic Pre

I am trying to connect Behringer Ultragain Pro MIC 2200 preamp to the sound card. The preamp is not to be used with a microphone. I use software synths so I want to route the signal from the sound card (Audigy2 ZS) into to preamp to warm up the sound and send it back again into the soundcard to record it using softsynths.
I tried using the Line Out 3 jack (LIN_OUT3) into the input of the preamp and then through the preamp's "output" port, send the signal back to the sound card using Line In jack (LIN_IN). But it does not work. It only works when I connect the pream to Line Out jack (LIN_OUT) that I use for my speakers or headphones. Then connecting the "output" of the preamp to my headphones, I can hear the sound. But that's not the idea. I need to feed the signal back into the sound card so that I can record it.
What am I doing wrong? Please help me.
Ark B.

My keyborad is a USB MIDI controller which itself does not generate sound. It is the sound card through my soft synth that produces the sound. MIDI controller sends the MIDI signal (not sound, just 0s and s) into the sound card to generate sound. Thus the sound is produced inside of my computer, then fed to the preamp for signal processing and then has to be fed back into the sound card to record the processed signal. There is no other way. Unless my logic is wrong. The preamp manual does not tell me how to make the connection through my soundcard. It says it is possible though.
The people from whom I bought the preamp told me very little, obvously they have no clue how to make the connection.
I hope this clarifies my problem.

Connecting Soundblaster Audigy 2zs to Home Theater Amplif

Can I connect my Soundblaster Audigy 2zs directly to an amplifier and still get 5.,6.,or7. speaker setup? I feel it's kind of redundant to use a reciever when the Audigy has all the capabilities of a Home Theater Reciever. And it outputs sound at 92khz, which currently is only available on more expensi've recievers.
My goal is to use my pc as a souce and connect it directly to amps and speakers. I would like to put money I save on recievers into a high end speaker system
I have read in the previous posts that it may be possible to do 5. by getting an mini jack to RCA adapter for each channel. But no details on 6. or 7..

I am in the same situation as you. As the CL told me
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=5343 --
You can either use the audigy to decode the sound or your reciever to decode the sound with the SPDIF passthrough. Just whichever has the better specs.
From my situation I would recommend having speakers with analog hookups to the front/rear/center sub rather then the digital output. The only way to take advantage of the digital output is with a DVD and in that case you can just watch a DVD on your TV rather then your computer. For games the analog 5. hooks is better as well because with games it decodes it and with your reciever it would only have 2. sound.

Digital Connection with Audigy 4 and DTS5

Hallo Everybody
I have the same Problem with the nice man in this post. (Felix2)

Exactly same problems! I emaild the Support and they replied me just trash.
So my base problem and thats in the linked thread above is to get a standard audigy 4 not a pro! optical connected to the dts 5500 er Station.
Please do not tell something of 5channel sound and ac3 and ac3 and ac3 its useless.
Please do not ask me about my system config, all works fine, the audigy4 works fine, my dts works fine and the speaker too. (Ive testet it with the 3 pole minijack connecters of my audigy 4).
So all works, but the opticalDigital connection not. (And i dont want to get 5. sound, i just want to get some sound, at the moment no sound comes out)
se give a statement why optical/digital connections not work on your products.
-Please give a statement why this is that difficult/confused to connect.
And a big bravo to Felix2. I wouldn't stay that cool like you if I get some horrible and wrong answers, especially of a "professional". Maybe you have a solution do get the DTS 5500 and audigy 4 get optical connected?
Greetings

Lex,
The information I gave Felix2 is not "horrible" or wrong, they are the truth. There is no need to start attacking again, if you are not clear on the information I gave in his thread, ask for more clarification, but do not attack.
If you are having problems getting it set up, it's best to provide some detail on what settings you have changed, how everything is configured, and someone will probably be able to help you.
The start of your post isn't very clear, do you have a standard Audigy 4 or an Audigy 4 Pro? The Audigy 4 Pro does have an optical output on the external dri'vebay, the standard Audigy 4 (just a card) does not have an optical output. You would need to connect through a coaxial input (minijack to RCA, then RCA-RCA).

Can I connect an Audigy 2 front panel to an X-Fi?

I have an older Audigy 2 Platinum with the front panel and an X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro card. I'd like to connect the front panel if possible because I don't think Creative even makes the front panels for the X-Fi cards anymore and they were always kind of expensi've.

The Titaniums use a different cabling system than the Audigy line did. You wont be able to connect the two........

Inspire P7800 connected to Audigy 2 Platinum

Help please. I properly (as far as the diagram shows) connected my new speakers to my existing Audigy 2 platinum sound card (not the front console but the sound card itself) but I do not seem to have the original sound card CD so downloaded the newest driver from Creative downloads and installed that. No matter what I do I can only get sound out of one speaker. What am I doing wrong?

There is only one choice. To get digital on the Z-5500, you have to use it's decoder (because you cannot turn it off). If you try to use the Audigy 2's decoder, you will get no sound. You can't send a decoded signal to another decoder.
In the Audigy 2 settings, select "spdif passthrough". This will disable the Audigy 2's decoder and just send the compressed digital signal to the Logitech Z-5500 control pod and it will then do the decoding (that's if you have the "coax" setting on in the control pod. Also make sure to have the DVD player software also set to "spdif" for the speaker selection.
You will be then be good to go. You can use the Z-5500 to switch between analog and digital (do not disconnect the 3 analog cables from the Audigy 2 to the Logitech Control Pod).

Connecting the Audigy 2 to a home theater sys

I've seen a lot of posts on this subject, but have seen a number of different answers. Hopefully I can get a definiti've answer...
I have an Audigy 2 ZS card (ordered as part of a Dell E50) in my PC and want to connect it to my home theater system. The home theater system has both analog, digital coax, and digital optical inputs. I want to get the best possible sound quality coming out of the PC to play music, thus I would like to have a digital connection between the PC and receiver.
The question I have is specifically what type of connector do I need to make this digital connection. I have seen people mention using a regular mini-plug to RCA connector, but didn't really say whether that got a digital signal or not.
I've looked on the Creative web site a bit, and saw some cables, but didn't know for sure which one was the right one. Please advise specifically what kind of cable I should get for this.
Thanks.

You will have to ask the store if they have a 3.5mm minijack to RCA cable. Somewhere within the Getting Started program of the Audigy 2 ZS Sound card they have a section which shows you illustrations on how to connect your sound card to different setu
ps.
The digital connection will give you the purest stereo signal for your music, but you will not get surround sound unless you are listening to a surround sound?digital feed which the Home Cinema Recei'ver can understand (i.e. Dolby Digital, DTS, or regular PCM). This means that unelss you are listening to DVD Videos?with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks, you will only get stereo sound out the speakers, no multi channel EAX, no DVD Audio or CMSS either. Best thing to do is to connect the sound card to the Home theater system using Analog Mutlichannel input. Get 3 3.5mm to 2 Phono Cables. Plug each 3.5mm end into Line out ,2 and 3 on the back of the sound card. At the other end of the cable, match the 2 phono plugs?to the respecti've sockets on the home cinema amp. For example Line out is the front left and right speaker so just match white with Front Left and red with Front Right. Line out 2 - white goes to Rear/Surround Left and Red goes to Rear/Surround Right, irrespecti've of the colour coding on your amp.
Line out 3 - white goes to Center, red goes to Subwoofer, irrespecti've of the colour?coding again?- am not too sure on this one so be ready to reverse the connections if the speaker test comes out wrong or the "Front Center" voice booms out of your subwoofer!?By connecting it through multi channel analog input, the sound card will do all the decoding, so you can enjoy CMSS, EAX, Neo:6 and any other multi channel pleasure that the Sound Card provides in all its glory. The digital connection will provide purer sound but NOT surround sound unless you invoke a multi channel source such as a Dolby Digital or DTS?DVD, this is of course assuming you have set up the DVD software to correctly channel the sound to the SPDIF out and then set the sound card to passthrough SPDIF signals through digital out!?Good luck and hope that hel

Connecting SB Audigy 2 ZS to a Yamaha HTR-5740 Recei

I connected the digital out on the sound card to the digital in on the stereo receiver. I read the sticky topic above about the digital connections and followed what it said, yet I still couldn't hear any music from Windows Media Player. I've tried many different inputs on the reciever, yet I can't get any sound.
Here is a link to the receiver I got:

I plugged into the Digital Input as you can see in the upper right of the following image:

I don't care so much about HOW right now, I'm starting to have doubts and want to know if a Yamaha HTR-5740 can be connected to a computer's sound card period? I sure hope so. It seemed so simple. Plug into the Digital Out on the sound card and into the Digital Input on the recever, and BOOM, there it is. Of course I found out that is not the case. I played with the settings a little on the computer, and nothing works. Other people seem to be able to get sound at least, but I don't get sound period.
Can a Yamaha HTR-5740 be connected to a sound card?

I was able to connect it but it has to be connected to a computer as well (i read it on most threads in the forum). Now the problem is, only 2 speakers and subwoofer is working and no sound when i play games. It works only on movies (blu-ray, dvd), music, and video files thru usb. How do i fix it and use 5. through a computer.
