Thank you for the responce, however with every other DDL / DTS connect (nforce2 soundstorm,?blue gears, auzentech) you could enable DDL or DTS connect and any stereo source would automatically be 5. or 6. surround sound. See below.
MP3 source -> real ddl/dts connect sound car?-> dolby digital / dts stream -> external reciever with dolby digital dts light on +sound on all speakers
On the sound blaster the following happens
MP3 source ->?sb xfi plat -> dolby digital /dts stream with only 2 channels being used?-> external reciever with DD or DTS light on + sound from only front speakers.
Are you telling me this is how?creative designed this to work because?it isn't working like?every other DDL / DTS connect card out there.
I don't kow how and where exactly the defferences are between those solutions. But as I told it, it is the way the Creative implemention handles it. If you don't use CMSS-3D or use the surround functions of you Decoder (I have a seperate balance for "surround" on my Z-5500 where I can set If the rear speaker are used *at all*) you won't get automaticly Surround Sound with MP3. Of course it still depends a bit on you player software, there are player/filters (AC3 Filter; ffdshow) out there which can do that too. Upmixing Stuff, I mean but then you don't really need DDL. I use it to encode actual game sounds, because strangely I don't have any popping and noise in there while I use it (just read up that crackling/popping thread.

No sound from my rear speak

Hi,
I have an SB X-Fi extreme music card and I can't get sound out of my rear speakers. I went through the Creative Diagnostic tests and when I ran it for 5. speakers the rear right sound comes through the center speaker and the rear left sound comes through the left front speaker. I checked and both rear speakers work when I plugged them in a different speaker output. Any advice would be great!. I have Windows Vista 32-bit and upgraded my drivers yesterday to the most current ones. Thanks.... Ralph?

What?kind of speaker system are you using if I may ask? I believe the card has only 3 holes to connect speakers to and line-in?where your surround set might have more. If you've got a Creative Inspiron set or something similar you might want to check if the cables which go into the central unit, the subwoofer in most cases, are connected properly?too. Greetings,

No sound out off my speak

just installed my new Sound Blaster X-FI card on my computer. And i have put the right cables in it. And now i dont get any sound of my Trust 4500P 5. speaker set and i also dont get any sound out off my Headset.plz help to solve this problem

I had the same problem..all of the sudden my analog outputs didnt work, i un checked digi i/o and checked it and unchecked it, only the digi i/o jack worked lucky for me my speakers take both analog and digital. i found if you go into the THX setup and mess around in there, the analog ports will?work again.

Sound out of one speaker only

Sound has started to come out of one speaker only. i've checked cords to amplifier etc etc and that is not the issue,. Anyone else had this problem?

Hello adyomo. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Please try connecting a pair of stereo headphones to the audio port of your AirPort Express Base Station (AX). If you now get sound from both channels, the problem may still be either with the cables or the amplifier. If; however, you are still only getting sound from one channel, either the AX's audio port or its audio circuitry may have failed.

No sound out of one speaker...

Hello, all! My iPod recently suffered a nasty blow, which deformed the case and seemingly knocked the sound out of the right earbud. I've tried a different pair of headphones, but still I get nothing out of the right earpiece. I also tried resetting the iPod (toggling the Hold switch, holding the Menu and Play buttons), but that didn't do anything either. Do you think it's a problem with the internals, or do I just need to restore this thing? Is there a way to toggle between mono sound and stereo sound (maybe it was jarred into mono mode)? If it's a problem with the actual iPod, will Apple even fix it for me? I'm having one helluva time initiating service through this website -- should I call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and talk to someone directly? Thanks in advance!

I was informed this afternoon that my iPod cannot be fixed. Thanks for all your help, people.

HT201401 sound out of ear speaker very low turned up all the way sounds muffled

can barley hear out of ear speaker with music or on calls loud speaker works fine ear phones work fine just ear speaker very quiet tried restore from itunes no help do i need to replace the ear speaker or is there something else i could try, tried sucking on speaker and blowing it out no help.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

2 ZS Platinum with Logitech 5300e- No sound comes from rear speake

I just bought a new 2 ZS Platinum sound card and I use fairly new Logitech 5300e 5. speakers but no matter what I am playing, no sound comes from the rear speakers. However everythingh sounds fine in the front left, center and front right. As most posts on this board would suggest....yes, all speakers are securely connected and the switch on the back of the subwoofer is set to 5.. Windows control panel is set to 5., and so is everything else that asks. Im pretty sure I installed it correctly because the card shows up and I can hear good sound but only from the front. I read somewhere that I still needed a codec called ac3 so I downloaded it but there is still no sound. I updated the card with the latest driver which looks like was released in 2005. Is there ANY way to get real 5. sound? Do I need to purchase something else, a new codec? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Does the speaker test work in 5. channel mode? If it doesn't then it would like the X-Fi's lost the centre channel.
In that case you can try unplugging your speakers, changing into 2.0 mode plugging them back in and then changing to 5. channel mode and just fiddling about. 'tis a common problem with the X-Fi on a fresh install to lose or merge channels. There's no fix for it but to fiddle with the speaker/THX console settings and to plug and unplug stuff until the X-Fi decides to route stuff properly.

Not getting sound out of a speaker with my Zen Xt

I've had my Zen Xtra for 5 months. I've enjoyed it every day. But today, I began listening to it and to my surprise, no sound came out of the right speaker! It wasn't my headphones, as I soon found out. It is my Zen Xtra. I've read around this site and found to my great disappointment that there is nothing that can be done about this. This obviously didn't make me too happy, as it seems that I spent a good deal of money on a portible hard dri've. I've heard of things like this happening before with creative MP3 players. In fact, I've had two of my friends who had the same thing happen with their Zen Micros. I don't know how commonly this happens, but I'd assume it happens enough if you said something about it in the FAQ. This is a major blow to my customer satisfaction. I figure I've got a few options:
? Return my Zen Xtra for an insane fee (about half the price of it minimum) for it to be repaired, although this shouldn't have ever happened
? Attempt to fix it myself, which probably won't turn out too well
? Li've with it, but no longer recommend it to anyone or show it off in public again, and slowly save up for a product that works better
Gi'ven my options, I'll probably just li've with it, but seriously Creative, this is a problem on your part if it keeps happening very often. More than one person that I know has been swayed never to buy MP3 players from you again. Don't get me wrong, they are great. But you're obviously messing something up with the headphone jack.
Oh, and if anyone knows of a way to fix this, please help me do so.

The early Xtras and Micros are well known for developing this fault, although at what level it's hard to say.
I'm not sure where you are (or not) in the warranty period, but even if out of warranty I would contact Creative and point out this is a known fault. If you get nowhere with this you can attempt a repair, but I would strongly recommend only those with surface mount soldering experience try it. There's a page here on how to do the repair, but I'm having problems loading it at the moment. So it may not exist any more.

Need all sound out of both speaker, no stereo

How do i get all the tracks of the audio to come out of BOTH speakers. I want all sounds to come out of both speakers exactly the same. Ideas?

You have recorded your tracks in stereo. Switch them to mono.
To record stereo tracks you would need two input sources (two mic's left and right). If you record from one guitar or one mic that will be mono.

Getting sound out of my speak

Hello everyone, now that I've got your attention, I moved my computer equipment from one room to another. I THOUGHT all I had to do was plug in the green plug from my sub woofer into the output (labeled GREEN) on the back of my PC and voila! the music would come flowing from my speakers...well... I have the Creative SB X-Fi sound card installed, so I figured I must be wrong, the green plug needs to be plugged into the Creative card! So, I tried EVERY hole in it! And, guess what, NO SOUND! Now, I know all the experts are just going to laugh...but I'm just irritated with myself that I ever UNPLUGGED the **bleep** cord from the back of the computer! Can any help me...is there something else I need to do? Thanks!

There is no left speaker... the grille on the left is for the microphone.

Why does sound only come out of 1 speaker when I dock my iPod?

My son's Ipod only plays sound out of I speaker. When I dock the ipod on his ihome radio or my sony radio, sound only comes out of the left speaker. When I put other ipods on the same docks i get sound out of both speakers. It is just this one ipod that won't produce sound out of both speakers, no matter what docking station I use.

Likely it is a hardware issue for the iPod, you need to bring it for service

Sound only in One speaker

Got a new computer with VIA KT333 KT3 Ultra series and loaded on Windows 2000 professional. Everything works fine except can only get sound out of one speaker. Tried re-installing the audio driver. Tried all speaker configurations in control panel under multimedial. Tried three different sets of speakers. No warning in the system devices in control panel. Thinking the MB may be bad.

Hi,
A couple of generic things you could try, but might not apply to your specific mobo.
First, make sure that the plug is fully plugged in to the socket. Those 3.5mm plugs don't leave a lot of room for error, and sometimes a combination of the plastic on the plug and the metalwork surrounding the socket will prevent the plug from going in all the way. This is more likely to affect the right channel. (I assume that in trying 3 sets of speakers, there wasn't a common faulty lead involved).
The second thing to look at depends on your computer setup. Many (but not all) MSI mobos have a 10 pin header called (for example) Front Panel Audio Connector: JAUD1. This lets you connect to an Audio Out socket on the front panel, as an alternative to the rear panel outlet. The audio outputs connect first to the the front panel (green) socket, with a return circuit for each channel which is automatically disconnected when you put a plug into that socket. So the audio out signals travel in lovely unshielded cable from the mobo to the front panel and back, before going to the back panel. If you don't have a front panel socket (and cable to suit), then you have to put a couple of jumpers across (for example) pins 5 & 6, and 9 & 10. If one of these jumpers is missing, you will only get one channel out. You could also lose a channel if there is a fault in the cable taking the signal from the mobo to the front panel, or the return cable, or in the switch contacts of the front panel socket (or in the rear panel socket contacts, for that matter).
So, if you have a front panel audio out - try that and see if you get both channels. Also, check the wiring from JAUD1 to the front panel. You could also try removing the cable from JAUD1 and installing a couple of jumpers instead (check the mobo manual). If you don't have a front panel audio out, check that the 2 jumpers are on JAUD1. You could even try cross connecting the JAUD1 pins (5 to 10 and 9 to 6) and seeing if the missing channel changes or not.
Also, try a few different audio sources (CD playback, playing .WAV or MIDI files, using Line Input - and check the advanced options in the Audio Mixer controls to make sure the Balance controls are centred.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Having Problem With Inspire 5.1 5300 rear speaker...

After using my inspire 5.1 5300 for few year... right now im having problem with my rear speaker... just one channel was unable to start... Anyone know about repairing for speaker ? I Have try to switch to other channel it seem that just that rear speaker was unable to start... all should be ok... week before i still hearing sound from that rear speaker... but now it was unable to start. Anyone Have Any Idea Please Tell Me. Thank You

Just to clarify, by "FCP 5 friendly source material," he means video files that are a format (codec) that FCP 5 supports. What FCP 5 supports can be found in the EASY SETUP list. If the format you are working with isn't there, say if your footage is H.264 or MP4 or some other web compressed format, FCP won't work properly. It needs to be in an editing codec if you want FCP 5 to work with it.
Also, you need to make sure that your sequence settings match the settings of the footage you are trying to edit. If you add a clip to the sequence, and immediately have to render, that's a big clue to say that something isn't right. You should edit without rendering at all.
The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu. Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured
