Connecting sb2 audigy zs (not platinum or pro) digital output to logitech z-5500 speak

anyone ever try to use the digital out port on the sound card to connect to a set of speakers that had a coxial input? i have a theory on buying a digital cable and go to radio shack and buy a mono plug.. but will that work? is that compatible?
thanks

i currently have the 5 year old FPS 2000 cambridge soundworks digital speakers. i currently use the digital out on my augidy 2 zs, with the digital in adapter to connect to the speakers. (http://us.creative.com/products/prod...0&product=0375)
i am planning on purchasing the logitech z-5500 and have been reading on these boards that i can get the (http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=42%2D2444) digital out minijack to digital out rca jack that the logitech speakers accept.
you wrote about the limitations of using this digital connection - would the limitations be exactly the same that i currently have (using the digital out to the fps 2000) or would this be a more limiting configuration?

Audigy 2 ZS, Mediasource 5, DTS wav and the Logitech Z-5500 speak

I'm trying to play a DTS Wav file from audio cd in mediasource 5.0?and get the following results:- mediasource: with spdiff passthrough on in the soundcard settings?and the Logitech Z-5500 speakset set to coax I get DTS digital surround but mediasource plays the music at doublespeed (higher pitch)- mediasource: With the internal decoder activated and the speakerset set to analog 6 channel direct I get a very strange audio stream: the sound that normally would be coming from the centerspeaker (main vocals), comes from the rear left speaker and all the other speakers only give an echo of this sound.- Playing the DTS wav file in powerdvd 6 deluxe (soundcard and powerdvd software set to Spdiff)?gives me?crackled / poppled sound but not the static noise?other users commonly get.- playing the DTS wav?file in powerdvd 6 deluxe (soundcard set to internal decoder and powerdvd software set to 5. speakers) gives me the?famous?static noise.- other players like media player classic also give me nothing more than static noise.

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 :\

Audigy 2 ZS Pro digital output and Windows XP Pro

Recently "upgraded" my system to Windows XP Pro X64. My soundcard, an Audigy 2 ZS Pro, connects to my logitech 5. digital speakers via the front coaxial connector, no longer seems to output digital signal. The speakers indicate that there is no signal from the coaxial connection. I can hear sound from headphone through the analog output though.
Before the upgrade, I had everything working, but I don't remember all the details I went through to get it to work.
I have installed latest driver for Windows XP X64 from Creative, and I have modified the setting to bypass onboard decoding. Is there anything else I need to do? Online documentation talks about applications that I don't seem to have. Is there a X64-compatible application I need to run to get this to work? Thanks.

Okay Robert, I downloaded and installed your 6.25 drivers and they work fine. However, the Audigy 4 pro software, http://files.filefront.com/Pax+Audig.../fileinfo.html, does not install anything but drivers, no software applications. I looked on your board and could not find any definati've method for resolving this problem.
Perhaps you or someone else who is familiar with installing the software apps would care to provide a detailed solution.

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:

AUDIGY 2 ZS Platinum + Time Coded Vinyls (TCV) in ASIO Mode...

OK, question is 'somewhat' simple.
Has anyone been able to connect Audigy 2 ZS (Platinum or Pro) to Virtual DJ (latest version) and use the Time Coded Vinyls? Can It be done in ASIO mode? As to send data from the turntables with the TCVs into the SB card inputs, then from the SB card outputs back to the physical mixer, and then from the physical mixer back again to SB card main input (just to name it so) or to an amplifier, either for multichannel upmixing for home using or high power end for a public event, respectively.
Any success? Any better ideas?
Thanks a lot.

Macbook Pro 2010 ja digital output - not turning on.

On Christmas we got a New Macbook Pro 2010 for my girlfriend and today I noticed when I connect a mini-spdif to the Pro, digital output does not switch on.
On the system preferences it show that the internal speakers are turned on, all the time.
When I connect the mini-spdif to my 2009 unibody it works like a charm, like it has done all the time.
Any hints or tips to solve this problem?
I've read other posts and noticed that people have the problem other way around, the digital output wont turn off.

If it wasn't custom-configured (i.e. it has no non-standard options), you may still be able to exchange it at a physical Apple Store. If you custom-configured it, it will have to be repaired instead of exchanged. At least that's Apple's policy in the USA.

Microphone connection problems with SB audigy 2 ZX platinum pro

I am using an old SB audigy 2 ZX platinum pro purchased back in 2004. It is installed on a PC that I stopped using it in 2005. The pc has no problems and I have started using it again.My problem is that I cannot connect the microphone. Everything was working fine at the time I was this pc including the microphone.At that time I had installed win xp pro( no service packs were available). But after I had to move physically in another location(connection and disconnections etc)and a pc format I cannot use the microphone again. I am trying to connect it to the front panel and to the appropriate places as indicated in the user manual but nothing is happening. I have connected properly the sound cart and all other components are working fine. I checked whether the microphone is checked to silent mode and all other software/di'vers nonetheless everything is working fine. I am now using Win xp pro sp3. I have contacted Creative and they told me to check the mic boost option. But there is no mic boost option now. I clearly recall that there was one when I was using this pc in 2004 under win xp pro(again no service packs were available at that time).One solution I could think is to format again and install some old version of win xp pro (say 2003 or so) and then update to current. But I do not want to format again since I do not have that version of windows available(copyright issues may also raise) plus for some other reasons I do not think I should mention them on an Internet forum. I also tried to download the latest drivers ans apps form creative ,clean installation from the orginal cd including Daniel_K pack and everything someone could think without solving the issue.Creative during our last communication in a very polite way told me to stop emailing them and try to solve the issue on my own as this product is no longer supported. One thing I neglected to mention above is that the mic boost option is available in the motherboard sound chipset. I checked it in one of my attempts to solve the problem. But it disappears when installing the SB driver. I know that if I manage to configure mic boost in the driver settings I will solve the problem.But once again there is no such option. Could you please provide with some suggestions and solutions on how to solve this?. Thank you very in advance for any suggestion and help

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Inspire T7700 does not recognize Mic on Audio Control

Hi folks,
I decided to hook up my headphone and mic sets to the Audio Control Pod for the first time recently to chat online. I'm not sure if I ever tried this when I bought the Inspire T7700 speaker system, but I cannot seem to get any voice to come through in Windows' Sound Recorder (the headphones work fine). I'm hoping that someone here can help...otherwise, I suppose I'll have to find an alternate solution than using my soundcard system.
Here are some specs:
OS: Windows XP SP2 and all current updates
Soundcard: Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Speakers: Inspire T7700 with Audio Control Pod (contains the headphone and mic jack)
Here's what I have tried:
. Updated drivers to: SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe
2. Tested headsets and mics out on another one of my computers with a SoundBlaster Li've. They work fine.
3. Set each audio source with full volume in the Recording Control window as the source while recording in Windows' Sound Recorder (I know some of these aren't right, but I tried them all nonetheless):
- MIDI Synth
- Line-In 3
- Line-In /Mic (this should be the one, I think)
- S/PDIF-In
- Auxiliary (this might be the one for the Audio Control Pod)
- "What U Hear"
- Line-In 2
- CD Digital
- Wave
4. Installed the Creative software from the official CD to manage the audio and speaker settings. Retested the same as item 3 above within this software. Same results.
5. Disconnected the external I/O hub (since I am connecting to the Audio Control Pod, which connects to the speaker system and then my sound card). Interestingly, the Line-In /Mic input disappeared. All that I saw for an input (I believe) was Auxiliary. I tried even that as noted in item 3, but nothing.
Has anyone had any luck in getting a mic from a headphone set to work with the Audio Control Pod for the Inspire T7700 speaker system along with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Read the FAQ on top of the soundcard forum concerning SPDIF and digital out. The reason is very easy to find out if you read that. In short: the digital out can only send out a PCM stereo signal (which is why you only get FL/FR sound) and an encoded AC-3 signal.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Front Panel not functio

Okay, so I recently bought a new motherboard, processor and ram.
Upon installing all components, everything works just fine.
Except my Audigy 2 zs plat pro front panel.
The power light is on, but it won't recognize ANYTHING plugged in to it.
It worked just fine on my old set up, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Here's my current set up;
Asus A8n SLI Nforce4 socket 939 mobo
AMD 64 3800+ cpu
gb Corsair VS
BFG GeForce 7800 GT graphics card
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro (with completely updated drivers, btw)
The mobo DOES have onboard sound, so I don't know if that would be conflicting with anything, but I can't find any problems anywhere.
Power is hooked up correctly, and all wires are, too.
Blah! Any suggestions?Message Edited by iherbie on 2-28-2005 :4 PM

iherbie,
I don't have a platinum pro, just a plain Audigy 2 ZS. So I can only offer some general troubleshooting ideas. First, check for IRQ conflicts with other cards. Second, make sure the cable from the card to the front panel is securely seated. Removing and replugging is a quick way to verify this. If you have a multi-meter, you could test the integrity of the cable. Third, removing and reseating the sound card itself, or moving it to another PCI slot would be a good idea. If that doesn't help, then I'd uninstall and reinstall the software and drivers because perhaps front panel functions weren't properly installed the first time. I'm assuming that the rear in/out jacks work, and that the Creative CD that came with your Audigy is compatible with your current version of Windows and service pack, and that you have disabled onboard sound in your BIOS.Message Edited by Katman on 0-07-2006 08:38 PM

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro not recognised by Vista 32 b

Hi
I cannot get my new computer to recognise my Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Sound Card. Have tried a new mobo, interchanged video cards, HD's, ram, and just about everything else that could ever possibly be incompatible with hte sound card. Have even tried different power supplies. I have all latest drivers installed and have disabled the onboard sound card in the bios.I've had the card for over a year now and it used to work well in my old computer running XP.
Can anyone help
Thanks.
My system: Asus P5K Premium/Wifi, EVGA 8800GTX, Corsair 2GB DDR2 800, Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro, 50GB WD Raptor HD + 250GB Seagate, 620w Corsair power supply, Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

Sound card recognition issues are usually related to software/driver conflicts. I had an Audigy2 that thought it was an Audigy once! I'm confident that a FULL remove of Creative files will solve your issue. It did for me anyway.We've made a list of all the problem Creative files & entries that need to be removed here.http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/...tall-problems/ After that, your drivers will install properly.Hope this helps
