Connecting Sound Blaster Connect to an old hi-fi to record ta

Hi,
Does anyone know how to connect the sound blaster connect to an old hi-fi. there seems to be only cable included that will go to the back (video?) feed of my hi-fi (the double ended white/red cable) and when i plug that in to the hi-fi and sound blaster it doesn't record anything so i assume it's not right. is there a cable i can get which i can just plug into the headphone plug on my hi-fi and then into the sound blaster? i don't understand all the technical phrases used on other messages or the website so sorry if someone has asked this question before.
Can anyone help me? i really want to record all my old tapes onto computer.
thanks

I always used a stereo guitar/keyboard cable and used an adaptor to make it smaller on the computer end (my headphone socket on my hi-fi is big). But yeh, I always just used the headphone socket on the hi-fi and the line-in input on the soundcard. This has worked for every sound card I've ever had...
You could just use something like...

Sound Blaster Connect: Why no Smart Record

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I've just bought a Sound Blaster Connect to convert my audio tapes to MP3. The box and the instructions both say it should include Smart Recorder software to accomplish this task, but I can't find it on the CD. Am?I missing something? Do I need to download something extra?All help appreciated. Scandalxk

I don't think it's wrong forum. I have the same problem. Installing and desinstalling programs from CD, once the smart recorder was installed, another time wasn't. No one knows why. Now the main problem for me is that if I klick on the smart recorder knob, the message "no audio equipment on this computer" appears and the program is aborted.
So I cannot use my Sound Blaster Connect for the only purpose I bought it - for the recording.
If you know how to fix it, please tell me.

Sound Blaster Connect pops whit inter

After reading through most of the "pop/crackle"-threads I didn't find anything usefull, so I'm gonna throw my problem on here. I bought a SB Connect, which pops and crackles whenever my pc connects with the internet, only then. I think it's probably because my network-card is also connected with USB, like the soundcard. Could this be right ? And if so, can I do something about it ? I've tried moving the soundcard further away from my internet-adapter, but that didn't help at all. Only thing I can think of now is maybe getting a long extention-cable for my adapter, to move it further away from my pc. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Everything seems to be OK so it's propably the drivers for your modem that is causing the issue. Just try if updating them helps anything.
Also, you can turn the MPU-40 (onboard MIDI/Game port) if you dont need it.

Connecting Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic with Creative Soundworks DTT 3500 Digi

The Creative Soundworks DTT3500 has optical and coaxial and digital DIN digital connections with an onboard Dolby Digital 5. decoder.
However only has front and rear analog connection, no centre or sub connection.
Without moding my DTT3500 can anyone tell how I can connect my Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic soundcard to get full surround.
Anyone?

So I have a perfectly good set of surround speakers that also have a external dolby digital 5. decoder, which I sometime plug my Xbox into.
And not I have to downgrade my speakers to a set of analogues.....where is the sense in that.
It mentions in the manual about "Decoding with an external decoder or home theater receiver" and connecting a cable from the FlexiJack (Digital Out) on the X-Fi to the Coaxial SPDIF in jack in the decoder.
<FONT color=#330066 size=>If you have a Dolby Digital/DTS/DTS-ES/Dolby Digital EX external decoder (for example, Decoder DDTS-00), you can use it to decode Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS-ES or Dolby Digital EX signals to 5., 6. and 7. speakers from your Sound Blaster X-Fi audio card, Digital I/O Module*, X-Fi I/O Dri've* or X-Fi I/O Console*. With a home theater receiver like Creative Inspire GD580 Speaker System, you can use it to decode Dolby Digital or DTS signals to 5. speakers.
<A target=_blank>[/url]
<FONT color=#330066 size=>To enable this function, select the <SPAN>Dolby Digital/DTS Bitstream Out option in Audio Console, or the <SPAN>On (External Decoder) option in Entertainment Mode or Audio Creation Mode. For more information, refer to their online Help.
Does this not work?

Connecting Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS to A/V receive

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this is the place to ask. I am thinking about purchasing this sound card for the purpose of connecting my htpc to my 5. home theater. I have all my cds ripped to my hard dri've using a lossless codec. Is this the route to go for connecting and what is the best method to connect the two?
Which is the best model? only going to use it for playing dvds and playing music ripped to harddri've. Is there any need for the platiunum ect is the sound card with rear outputs all I need?

I have my card hooked up to a Pioneer 500W 5. amp... the way to do this for games is to use the 6 channel analog in on the amplifier (usually for DVD's, has RCA in for front left/right, rear left/right, center and sub). Just use the outputs on your card with a headphone to RCA plug or cord and output one goes to the front channel, second output goes to rear channel, and third goes to center/sub (I forget which is left and which is right). The details on the plug are layed out in the THX console when you set the channel output (5., 6., 7.).
you could also use a mono minijack to RCA plug to connect the digital output on the card to your coax in on your reciever, but you will lose any 3d effects on games. The benefit of this is that you will not have any interference from the computer to the reciever, and you can have the reciever decode dolby digital 5. and DTS instead of the card, but I found that the card does a good enough job as is.Message Edited by RC735i on -03-2004 06:2 PM

Connecting Sound Blaster 2 ZS Gamer to Home Thea

How would this go? I've been looking at the Specs and it does not have a SPDIF out. How would I do this while still retaining 5.

The card has a digital output, you could connect to that (with an adapter cable). You will get 5. that way with DVDs, just make sure you set the card so that it outputs the sound instead of decoding it (so output SPDIF/bypass the signal). The DVD software should be set the same way.
Games will not work in 5. over this type of connection, as the source is not an AC3 (encoded) signal. Check this thread for more detail.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 problems with surround

Hello,
I've problems connecting Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5. to my home theater Panasonic PT860 through?optic cable. All that I'm receiving is 2. sound.. BTW, OS is Windows 7. I've tried reinstalling OS, tried to change drivers and so on. Now I think that's is not possible to have 5. sound with my current configuration but maybe You can help me. Someone?
BR,
Donatas

Hi.
You can only play stereo audio through optical output for uncompressed audio format. To be able to play more than stereo through optical, you need to be playing compressed audio (dolby/dts). You can read more about this in this thread. http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/Digital-Connections-SPDIF-and-Dolby-Digital-Info/td-p/45857

Cannot record with sound blaster conn

I have purchased a Sound Blaster Connect to convert stuff to mp3. Using line in I can hear sound through headphones on the Connect, Creative MediaSource seems to realise there is sound (monitor moves), but as soon as i try to record, I get a - 'the recording process was aborted' message. I can record to mp3 via WaveStudio but results 'stutter'. Any advice?Message Edited by Brianjay on 05-30-20070: AM

That's not the issue, the problem is that some games are firing 32-bit float audio (0x0e type as indicated in the error) into ALSA through whatever means, and the standard GLC only supports 16, 24 and 32bit signed int audio. My fork above adds very rudimentary support for float.

Sound Blaster Recon - Why no treble control?

Why isn't there treble control on this card? This is a real handicap as it denies me the capability to fine tune sound to my satisfaction. Fiddling with the equalizer isn't quite the same as having a dedicated treble control.
I've owned AWE64, SB Live Digital & X-FI Xtreme Music and all these cards had treble control.
What's the problem with giving the user treble control on an expensive card such as this?
Pls share your thoughts.

Windows Vista - Sound Blaster 24 Bit Usb - No Microphone Playback Real Time Kara

Hi,
I don't no if this problem was just discussed in another thread, if so please giveme simply the link...
I'm Italian, so sorry for my poor english or bad translation...
PC: Laptop, "Toshiba Satellite A 200 24E"
OS: "Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack " - All update done.
Dev.: "External Sound Blaster 24 Bit Usb" - Driver downloaded from Creative Web Site
At the very beginning I tried the internal Sound Card (Realtek) to do karaoke in spare time, but couldn't hear anything coming from Microphone. So I tried to buy an external sound card. The result is the same.
On "Record Device" I can see the Microphone Device, the level is on top, when I speak in the microphone I can see the green bar light up, if I record my voice I can hear myself when I playback, but no sound in real time.
I read that a lot of people have similar problems, but everone solves in a different manner...
I tried:
- I read in other forums advices about to do something like unmute microphone on "Audio playback devices" >> "Speaker" >> "Levels", but I don't see any checkbox, I can see only Speaker Level Bar...
- As read in other websites, to add a registry key (something like EnableInputMonitor in a specific path), but nothing changes. I cannot find other Device, not in Playback Devices, and not in Record Devices.
Please help, all was great with the same microphone, on old Packard Bell Laptop, old Sound Blaster mp3+ usb, and old Windows Xp.
If no solution, I 'm going on buy an old laptop with Windows xp, or an external Mixer, but I'm disappointed on spending more money...

well ?

Sound Blaster External USB Headphone J

Hi. I have a pretty old Sound Blaster external card--So old, in fact, that it's just called Sound Blaster. No subtitles or anything. Anyway, I've been using it for years, and in the last two it's developed a short of some kind in the headphone jack. When I lose audio in the right or left earpiece, I need to fiddle with the volume dial next to the jack very carefully until sound is properly restored. I'm almost certain my only trouble is a short, so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to get this fixed without actually opening it up myself (I don't want to ruin my card).
Any ideas?
Thanks, in any case.

Procrasticus,
Well, if you tried other headphones and other USB cables and get the same problem, then my next guess would be a defecti've headphone jack. (And after that a defecti've volume pot.) This is where it helps to be handy or have a friend who is handy with a soldering iron because it's really a very simple job. Else, you might take it to a small consumer electronic outlet (e.g., a Radio Shack or maybe a TV repair shop) and ask if there is anyone there who would solder a new jack in place for you for a fee. However, at the end of the day, it might be time to buy a new soundcard.
