Creative ever going to make SPDIF onbo

I just wanted to see if there are others like me who would like to see cards with SPDIF built onboard. I used to have a creative audigy gamer in my computer but then I upgraded my speaker system to the Z5500 which has a SPDIF connection. I am now using the SPDIF connection that comes with my motherboard and won't upgrade until creative comes out with a sound card that has it built onboard. If motherboard manufactures are able to build it onboard why does creative have to have theirs on a seperate unit... I don't need something else filling up my desk... Just want to see how many people also want to see a card with SPDIF built onto it and not a seperate unit.

uhhhhh. Creative card have SPDIF output and that for a long time now. I suppose you talk about optical connection. Then why don't you use SPDIF coaxial to connect your sound card to your speakers?

  • Are Adobe EVER going to make Edge Animate scale-to-fit (like Flash)?

    I've been following the progress of Edge Animate (formerly Edge) ever since Steve Jobs decided he wasn't having Flash on the iPad.
    With each new version I've been desperately looking for the feature that I consider the most important of all: Scale-to-fit
    There are a couple of discussions already on this forum where people have requested this feature - but both have been sidetracked by replies from people who haven't understood what 'scale-to-fit' is. So let me explain Scale-to-fit:
    I'm talking about the feature in Flash - where if the HTML dimensions are set to 'Percent' - then the resultant movie will scale-to-fit any browser window. Here is an example of what I mean:
    http://www.skippingschool.co.uk
    - try changing the browser size and you'll see the whole frame (graphics and images) scales without changing its proportions.
    When the latest version of Edge Animate came out with its built-in easy-to-follow 'Resize' Lesson, I thought Adobe had finally found an answer. But good though this feature is, it doesn't solve the problem. It's only possible to properly scale-to-fit images - not graphics.
    It's now more important than ever that Adobe finds a solution to this problem. The world is going 'Responsive' - its not just a fad. And 'Responsive' is not just about three columns being squeezed into one. All Responsive sites require images, graphics AND animations to scale-to-fit. So Adobe's tutorial showing how Edge Animate can be added to WordPress sites is of limited use because it won't work for Responsive web sites.
    So please Adobe, will someone tell me if scale-to-fit is EVER going to happen? I don't mind if it's 3 months, 6 months, 9 months down the line - but I need to know if it's worth me sticking with Edge Animate - or whether I should be looking toward HTML5 Canvas or something else for a solution?
    Alternatively, is there some fundamental reason why it can NEVER happen?
    Please tell me? Just put me out of my misery!

    Hi Sarah,
    I hope you don't mind but I played around with your code a bit and managed to get the kind of scale-to-fit behavior that I believe the OP was asking about.  I think the trick is to make sure that you also check whether the scaled height of the stage exceeds the height of the browser window and change the scaling so that it is responsive to changes in both the width and height of the window, whichever is the limiting factor. The code I changed in CompositionReady appears in bold below.  I hope this helps.
    sym.$("#Stage").css({ // Set the transform origin so we always scale to the top left corner of the stage
    "transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-ms-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-webkit-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-moz-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-o-transform-origin":"0 0"
    function scaleStage() {
        var stage = sym.$('Stage'); // Set a reusable variable to reference the stage
        var parent = sym.$('Stage').parent(); // Set a reusable variable to reference the parent container of the stage
        var parentWidth = stage.parent().width(); // Get the parent of the stage width
        var parentHeight = $(window).height(); // Get the browser window height
        var stageWidth = stage.width(); // Get the stage width
        var stageHeight = stage.height(); // Get the stage height
        var desiredWidth = Math.round(parentWidth * 1); // Set the new width of the stage as it scales
        var desiredHeight = Math.round(parentHeight * 1); // Set the new height of the stage as it scales
        var rescaleWidth = (desiredWidth / stageWidth); // Set a variable to calculate the new width of the stage as it scales
        var rescaleHeight = (desiredHeight / stageHeight); // Set a variable to calculate the new height of the stage as it scales
        var rescale = rescaleWidth;
        if (stageHeight * rescale > desiredHeight) // Do not scale larger than the height of the browser window
                        rescale = rescaleHeight;
    // Rescale the stage!
               stage.css('transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css(  '-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               stage.css('-ms-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css('-webkit-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               stage.css('-moz-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css('-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               parent.height(stageHeight * rescale); // Reset the height of the parent container so the objects below it will reflow as the height adjusts
    // Make it happen when the browser resizes
    $(window).on('resize', function(){
               scaleStage();
    // Make it happen when the page first loads
    $(document).ready(function(){
        scaleStage();

  • Is creative EVER going to produce a soundcard with Dolby Digital Encodi

    It would be really nice if Creative would make a soundcard that included DD Encoding and a real SPDIF output and not ont that only supports AC-3 passthru from DVDs and PCM stereo! Especially since nVidia did it on the old nForce2 MCP-T and C-Media also supports DD Encoding in thier CMI8768 chip used on this card (http://www.bluegears.com/soundcard_xmystique.html). The real killing thing is that now that Realtek now has the HD Realtek ALC880 CODEC for AC-97 sound that does DD-Encoding (http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/products-2.aspx?modelid=2004058) so that motherboards will now be able to have DD Encoding and not the $400 creative card!

    Hi Jason,
    I do not mean to be difficult but, as I stated in my original post, I have an SB0220, and that driver would not install. It reports that it cannot detect any Sound Blaster audio card on my system, even though Creative Diagnostics (the version installed from the cd) reports that everything is installed and working correctly (passed all tests), and the setup program on the original install cd works without any problems. This would seem to indicate to me that your information source is wrong.
    In any case, that is not the point of my post. The point is that this card (and other SB022x models) should be included. It does not necessarly have to be in it's own category (although it would make it much easier to find the correct software/drivers/documentation if it was), but it should be included somewhere. Even if the link brings you to a page that says that currently there are no available updates for this card, it should be included. Currently, the documentation for this card is not even available for download. I can understand there not being any driver updates as of yet, but if nothing else, the documentation should be avaialble.

  • Are you ever going to make iBooks for Mac OSX?

    It seems crazy to me that Apple has not released iBooks for the Mac!! Why would you hold out on such an essential tool for students or anyone wanting to use their computers and iOS devices for reading??
    Has there been any new for a forthcoming iBooks for Mac?

    No, and I doubt there will ever be. iBooks is only for iOS.

  • Is Adobe ever going to make their products coherent?

    It's truly driving me nuts that each product has it's own behavior, it's own shortcuts and so.
    I know you eg. bought Flash with it's wierd shortcuts, but coudn't you just add an option to install CS as it is now (that means handfull of stand-alone applications which don't have much in common for those who are already used to it) and another installation variant with coherent and unified control and behavior over all CS produtcs?

    Well, nothing is impossible but my personal guess (and it is just a guess)  would be that the more OS X sandboxes, the less likely this becomes.

    I've gone through forums and your trouble shooting page and I've found a lot of angry customers over thus Creative Cloud "You've been signed out" problem. Fortunately for me, I'm not a customer. I installed it so I could download a trial or premiere with the intention to buy, but now I don't need the trial because this is issue has made up my mind. But I am still curious if you're ever going to fix it?

    From what I understand, games are not available in the SA App Store as the goverment cannot make up their minds regarding the age classification of games. So it's not Apple and not the developers but the SA goverment that is blocking the sale of games in SA. The only way to get access to games is to have a US or UK iTunes account.

  • Is there ever going to be a bookmark firmware upgra

    I have a Zen MicroPhoto and I listen to my audio Bible at work. I need it to support bookmarks that are more than one track. Is there a bookmark firmware upgrade coming soon?
    For example, some things that I am looking for in a bookmark upgrade are these.
    First, the bookmark should be able to remember a whole playlist, like "Genesis" so that when I save it where I stop, I can change over to music, and then come back to the bookmark and it resumes at the exact chapter and point where I was, and the Zen continues to proceed further into the book. When I tried this, it only remembered the " chapter" where I stopped, and the display said of . What happened to the rest of the playlist? (I had Ch. -50 of Genesis in the playlist)
    Also, I would like to see the ability to have my music in shuffle repeat mode, save it, and go to my audio Bible, set it to normal mode, save it, and go back to the music, and it resumes in the playlist at the same song, as above, but also remembers the shuffle mode and continues to proceed. Then save it, and go back to the audio Bible and it is still in normal mode. (It makes it really hard to listen to 50 chapters all out of order.) I know this has to be possible to program into the Zen. My Rio Carbon 5 Gig, supported this. But my co-worker broke it. He was kind enough to buy me the Zen, but I'm seeking similar features. Please, help me Creative. I've been a fan of your sound cards for years. Thank you for listening.

    Why won't Creative reply with something like "We're working on it", or "We have no intention of doing that." That at least would help me out. If I knew they weren't going to make the firmware upgrade, I can at least return the thing and get my money back.

  • Is the 8gb Zen V Plus ever going to be released in Europe/Americ

    Hi, people.
    I really want to buy the new Zen V Plus, but the only downside is that 4 GB players that are available worldwide are way too small in terms of capacity.
    The 8 GB version would be more suitable, but they only sell it in Singapore, which doesn't really make sense to me (but, hey, that's just me).
    So, I was wondering, if anyone here knew anything about the 8 GB European/American release? Is it ever going to be released? If yes, then when?
    Thankies.
    A.

    No probs, we all have our gripes. I don't think Apple was in any way dishonest about the intel version. Heck they even 'lifted their kimono' for 1.1 at PMA and we all got to hear how much improved 1.1 should be. Lets be glad the company is listening and quickly getting good solutions to the first release issues. Many companies either do not listen or take 3 times as long to fix.
    As for the intel transition, i can't get steamed-up about it at all. I will be getting a MacBookPro soon so i'm listening to the forums and reviews. The engineering effort to do what they have done in the transition and with Rosetta has been very very smooth. And they are 6 months ahead of original plans ! Time will tell how FCP et al work out.
    Once Aperture 1.1 is released and you've played with it, please post your comments as i'm keen to sense how it runs on intel.

  • I am going to make a playlist and gift it.  I have $40 on my account.  how do I gift part of the $40 yhat's next to my email count at the top of the page and NOT have iTunes deduct it from my credit card?

    I am going to make a playlist on iTunes.  I have $40 which was gifted.to me.  Now I want to gift a playlist and not use my account credit card.  How do I do that.  Thanks in advance.

    I don't think you can pay for a gift with gifted money.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message18056833 - Once a gift card is entered it will be charged for any purchases you make until it is used up.  Certain things such as gift cards can not be purchased with gift cards and will get charged to the credit card.

  • IOS 7 doesn't work on iPod touch 4g, so does the mean its the end for this device? Or are they going to make updates specially for lower devices an apps that are compatible ??

    iOS 7 doesn't work on iPod touch 4g, so does the mean its the end for this device? Or are they going to make updates specially for lower devices an apps that are compatible ??

    Which apps remain compatible will be up to the individual developers who sell those apps. There will be no further iOS updates, but those aren't really necessary to continue to use and enjoy your device. I still have an iPad 1 running on iOS 5, and it is fully functional.
    The App Store has an app called VintApps 3.1.1 that is specifically geared toward iOS 3.1, however, you would probably be able to run most of those apps on your iPod, and considering that there will be a rather large market for iOS 6 apps users, it is not likely that you will see a significant reduction in choices any time soon.
    It is not the end for the device in any sense except that it is at it's ultimate iOS level. And again, I have an iPad that is at it's ultimate iOS level (iOS 5), and I get new apps all the time that work for both my iPad and my iPhone that runs iOS 6.1.1
    No need to fret....
    Cheers,
