Hi pmanohar555,
If you are referring the 3.5mm dual stereo-to-stereo cable from Inspire 4400 to the audio output, you can purchase from your local hardware store.
If you want to connect Inspire 4400 directly to your TV is very challenging as TV typically only offer front stereo output but Inspire 4400 require 2 stereo outputs which are the front and rear. In the end you will only get the front output from the TV if your TV support 3.5mm output for the Inspire 4400 to connect. Please note that Inspire 4400 is designed to work as PC desktop speakers which require a sound card that can support multi-channel speakers.
Hope the above information can help you.

  • Difference between the Creative Decoder DDTS-100 & Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-

    I've had the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5. System for years now for my PC with a Sound Blaster card, and I just got a MacBook.
    http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/promedia-ultra-5-.aspx
    I've asked on the Klipsch message board about a digital decoder. I was recommended the Creative Decoder DDTS-00
    http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=36&product=9468
    but I also found the Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-60 for less money, any idea what the difference between the two would be?
    http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=6&product=49

    No, for the reason mentionned in the stickies. But since you seems not knowing much on digital sound let me explain.
    Digital means it's coded with 0 and , and therefor only cable is sufficient. You might know there is many sound formats for home cinema, like Dolby Digital and DTS. And a digital decoder need to be input a compatible sound stream to be able to decode it. Which means the soundcard MUST be able to convert it's output sound in one receiver compatible format.
    Creative cards cannot do this kind of thing.
    Another thing: current home theater sound format are limited to 6. (DD-EX and DTS-ES). So you would not be able to achieve more than 6..
    THX isn't a sound format, only a certification. The THX calibrator is a must have component to correctly calibrate your speakers to enhance you sound experience.
    If you need to have TRUE surround up to 7. channels you don't need to use digital connection because it's simply useless.

  • Home theater connectivity, mode opti

    Hi Guys
    So... a while buy I purchased X-Fi Fatalty... and up until a while ago i've ran it on few creative speaker sets as well as klipsch... everything worked fine except the speakers "sucked" if you will.
    so i upgraded my stuff to a
    -Denon AVR-706 amplifier
    -Paradigm Cinema 70 home theater package (audiophile quality at low price!)
    now... i connect these to my x-fi through analog inputs because we all know digital won't do real time encoding of 5. games. here comes the problem. i used to listen to my 2 channel music in audio creation mode where i CLONED 2 front speakers to my 2 rear speakers. this gave me my stereo x2 effect whithout the degrading quality of CMSS. well you see when you go amp/home theater speakers with x-fi's implementation of bass settings you NEED to have the bass redirection turned on as well as the +5Hz boost. The problem is that there is NO bass redirection settings in audio creation mode and there's no way that i know of to clone my fronts to rears in entertainment mode. i don't want cmss upmixing because i dont believe it's cloning... i believe it's upmixig regardless of the 2 modes selected. Does ANYONE know how to clone these whether at the driver level or through a plugin (i use WMP on Vista Ultimate x64 SP)?
    the other thing is.... maybe it's my amp but in regards to local radio reception x-fi volume needs to be cranked WAY up (75%) on the PC side to match the level of other components in the setup... does this thing go into some sort of a low volume mode? I'm not pointing fingers here for this one but maybe you guys know something I dont
    anyways.... thanks in advance!

  • Apple tv home theater connect?

    how to connect apple tv to home theater receiver that conncts to monitor with component cables?

    Theoretically you can't do that - as AppleTV and most HDMI equipped devices enforce HDCP to prevent conversion of protected digital video to analogue video you will struggle to find an easy solution.
    You may find converters out there that'll convert HDMI to analogue video but they will be of dubious legality as manufacturers of devices using HDMI are supposed to block such conversions or downgrade the analogue out signal.

  • Configuring Home Theater

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to configure my 5.1 home theater, connected at my macbookpro on headphone ouput, but in system preferences there is only a single 'headphone ouput' (ok, right.), and on 'audio midi setup' at output properties, there is only 2 channels detected. I can't activate surround 5.1 under speaker configurator too. Can i distribute this audio in more than 2 channels? What i'm doing wrong?
    Thanks.

  • Intermittent sound using dd live pack, spdif to home theater spdif.

    . when using dd li've pack to listen to audio through home theater, connecting spdif out on elite pro module to spdif in, i have only intermittent sound. there is no common timing, just sound on and off. as the sound comes on, on my computer i have the dolby digital li've bitstream out "bug" that comes on in the lower left hand corner of my screen, then goes away when sound off. i am listening in entertainment mode. i don't really know what else to say. does anyone else have this [email protected]

    G? A lot of Audigy DDL users have reported 5. signal being lost randomly.
    Mine cuts out and Dolby Digital Li've becomes plain PCM (stereo on the receiver). It only does it for a second, then 5. gets restored. Then a few seconds/minutes/hours later it happens again.
    Sounds somewhat related to the X-Fi issues.... perhaps is the same thing?

  • 2 Small problems with Inspire 4400 4.1 & SB Surround 5.1 [on Vis

    Hey guys?
    I just bought a Sound Blaster Surround 5. external sound card (USB), which i like to use on my laptop (HP Compaq 6820s with Vista HomePremium), together with my Creative Inspire 4. 4400 speaker set. What i did is; I installed the necassary software from the CD-Rom (for Vista of course), and after installation, I checked if everything worked. It did. I had sound from all my 4 speakers, and i was able to adjust the volume of each speaker (I forgot where that option was located, but thats not important right now). After the installtion, i did the necessary reboot, and i did the recommended software update. This update installed new drivers, but they did something strange; when i click on Creative Audi-center, it says 2. CMSS 3-D. When i click on Creative Audi-console, it says 'headphones' under the speakers. I know thus only have 2. sound
    Right now, i cant change it back to 4.. I know that in the Creative Audio-console, there's an option to 'change' this. But when i change my system from 2. to 4., it doesnt do anything. If i check if I did the right thing, i found out (over n over again, no matter how often i keep changing it), my configuration is still set to 2., no matter how often i change it to 4.. So there's my first problem; i cant set my system to be a 4. system.
    Second problem; i'd like to use the voume control on the SB Surround 5. console for my overall volume. When i remove the wired volume control 6pin DIN cable from my Inspire 4400 subwoofer, my sound wont work. So i still have to use the wired volume control. Also, the volume control on the SB Surround 5. doesnt work (although i can mute the sound with it). Now, al this might be logic, however, hwo is it possible to overcome this obstacle with a DIN cable? My SB Surround 5. system had 9pin DIN in the back, the subwoofer of my Inspire 4400 has a 6pin DIN cable in the back .... what can i do, to configure the volume control on my SB SUrround as my main volume control, in stead of keep using the wired volume control, which is connected to the back of my Insipre 4400 subwoofer?
    Kind regards, and thnx in advance for any help!
    Huub
    PS: When i change my sound setting via Windows' Control panel -> Sound ->? Configure 2- Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit External-> Quadraphonic sound, i notice that all my 4 speaker work (i checked this via the Test button), but after that, the sound hasnt changed anything when i play my mp3's via WinAmp...

    Hi,
    Are you referring to the Li've! 24 bit External or the X-Fi Surround 5.
    I would recommend getting in touch with support for further assistance on this.

  • LF a home theater with analog inputs to support my creative x-fi 5.1 card. Budget is 225.

    My card does not support true surround sound in anything other than movies through SPDIF so I need to get a home theater that has analog inputs. Could someone recommend me a good speakers system for 225 or less. I current have a 1000 watt JVC TH-G30 that uses SPDIF. Thanks for any help
    My card is USB is why this is an issue.

    'Re: Creative X-Fi 5. Surround Problem. Hi,
    As far as I know, you can only get stereo audio from the optical output unless you are playing encoded Dolby or DTS audio. See this link for more info. http://forums.creative.com/creativel...&thread.id=270
    For your analog output, it seems strange that your speaker test only have audio in the front left and right but music is ok. Maybe you can try using earphone or something and connect to the rear jack and the centre/subwoofer jack to see if you can hear any audio from them? This may help to check if the problem is due to audio not coming out from your x-fi 5. surround or due to your speakers setup. It should also help to know which version of drivers you are running on. You may also want to try the new beta drivers that was release in Feb just to check.

  • Creative Digital 5700 Inspire 5.1

    For years, I used speakers with my desktop that had a Creative Audigy2 Soundcard, via the Digital DIN connection.
    Recently I switched to a laptop. Laptop has a 3.5 mm SPDIF output. I connected the SPDIF output to a 3.5mm male-to-RCA female adapter, then an RCA-to-RCA cable to the coaxial input of the Digital 5700.
    However, I don't get any sound from the speakers.
    any idea? is my setup wrong? how can i get any sound from the laptop to the speakers?thanks in advance.

    Please check your speaker manuals first if you still have them. I don't think you will be able to feed your speaker with digital connection from your notebook. This is the reason :
    1. Your notebook have a standard SPDIF connection, it's a industrial standard which work with every standard A/V receiver or decoder.
    2. Your speaker (Creative Digital 5700 Inspire 5.1) have a DIGITAL DIN in, not a standard DIGITAL SPDIF in. DIGITAL DIN is a propietary connection, so it only works Creative sound card that have DIGITAL DIN out (your audigy 2 for example). Creative is notorious with it's DIGITAL DIN which only works between their own sound cards and speakers. (be careful, audigy2 nx and X-Fi have a standard DIGITAL SPDIF, unlike the rest of their comrades)
    There is no way you can make the speaker work with your notebook, except you know how to hard mod it.
    Creative team, please correct me if i am wrong.

  • Connecting 5.1 home theater

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased one touchsmart 610-1110 as well as one creative inspire T6160 which is a 5.1 home theater system. Now i need some suggestions how to make a connection in between these two.Customer care alreday told i can't connect these two as the 5.1 has three inputs ( C/sub,L/R & LS/RS) whereas the touchsmart  has got only two out (one sub and one audio out ) with one microphone and one headphone I/O but, as per the product specifications it supports 5.1(Integrated IDT 92HD89D) so i am still hopeful of conneting these two.The touch smart has got 4 jack sensing covering  its 4 I/O port for audio( sub, audio out, microphoe & headphone). It has got on-board hp beats audio(2.1).

  • 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.

  • Xi-Fi Gamer & Home Theater Recei

    Howdy -
    I just purchased a Sony home theater receiver and surround sound system (HT-DDW900) and I'm wondering how to connect my Sound Blaster Xi-Fi Gamer to the receiver.
    Appreciate any help. Thank you.

    I game more than watch movies or listen to music on my pc & yes ..it was interesting to read in the sticky... thanks for the reminder. I don't have 5. or higher spkr setup, i use a?centre + frnt right + frnt left on hi-fi system and creative 2. THX speaker system?& then i just tweak the sound from both sources, on my amp it has cinema studio EX & i find using that i get a good mixture of mid & high sounds, plus the mission 703's give good punchy?bass,?the thunder/bass comes from the creative 2. sub as well as some high?crisp sounds from the 2. THX front right & left ...so what's that? ..pseudo surround ..lol. What i find odd is why do pc?game publishers put Dolby Digital on the pc games?box when realy then it should be EAX support ..as notied in the sticky below. But tbh the very best sound for me personaly has to be headphones ..but you need a good set of cans though. PC GamesPC games usually use technologies?like as EAX to create surround sound, not Dolby Digital. So even if your speaker system has a Dolby Digital decoder, it will be of no use when playing?games.
    The EAX processing is done on the soundcard, and?the 6-channel sound is?output via the analogue (or digital DIN if available). So you still need analogue connections to your digital speakers for games, if you just use an optical/coax cable you will only get the front left/right sound. (N.B. X-Box games do support Dolby Digital, so if you connect your X-Box to your Dolby Digital receiver/speakers with the optical cable, you can get full surround sound.)?

  • Home Theater receiver users should read this for enabling dolby digi

    I have an onkyo 5. dts / dolby digital receiver, and an audigy 2 zs platinum. i am using an optical cable from the front panel on the audigy to the optical in on my receiver. My receiver manual says it is a 96 khz receiver. I am using a 2 pin cable from my dvd player to the audigy. When using a dvd, I can not get dolby digital sound to my receiver. I have set the audigy to spdif pass through, i have tried 48khz, 96khz, every combination of everything. Setting to 2. speakers, 5. speakers, but yet i am stuck with either stereo sound if set to 96khz, or dolby prologic II if set to 48khz.
    Another thing i tried was using a dvd image i created on my hard dri've from a dvd, and playing it through alcohol 20%, to see if it was my dvd player giving the problems. I still get the exact same results when playing a dolby digital source through the hard dri've.
    So, in the end, is it actually possible to have dolby digital from the audigy 2 zs platinum through a home theater receiver, or not?
    thanksMessage Edited by jonnybruno on 0-20-2005 2:7 AM

    I am feeling the same way about this card. It would be nice if somebody from creative could respond with a definite correct way to get dolby digital to my home theater receiver. Im sick of being plagued with problems.. no dolby digital, random stopping of sound which requires me to reinstall drivers, popping noises every so often, etc etc etc..
    seriuosly... an m-audio revolution is starting to sound pretty appealing.
    edit: I would also like to note that my box does say front panel optical out for 5. support, unlike the previous poster had said it says stereo only. I am able to get dolby digital if i switch to my onboard nforce soundstorm or whatever it is.
    PS. I am not going to let this thread drop down until I have a definiti've answer on whether it is possible to have dolby digital through my audigy 2 zs platinum and home theater receiver. I paid $200 for this card, and I really would appreciate a straight forward definite answer.Message Edited by jonnybruno on 0-9-2005 09:4 AM
