Ddts-100 + audigy2 zs + 550thx mega works. only left/right output

just purchased and installed the above system. however, when doing the software test under speaker settings, i only get front left and front right. all the others dont work. i have miniplug out from audigy (digital output) to (coaxial input) decoder, then decoder out (front left/right, rear left/right, sub/front) to megaworks input (front left/right, rear left/right, sub/front). i do the test on the ddts-100 decoder, and i get all 5.1 channels. now, just to clarify, i used the supplied mini plug to rca, that rca to the rca input (coaxial) the plug is the mono plug that came with the decoder. do i need to go out and buy the 4 pole mini plug? why dont they just supply it instead of the mono plug.. which isnt even shown to be used in my manuals.
anyway, clarification would be good on the mono/4 pole miniplug. otherwise nice sound so far.cant turn it up cuz its midnight and highly doubt the neighbours would appreciate it.
cheers
Steve

Hmmm... My guess is that this is due to your setup with digital out. Since the digital out on your soundcard will not pass through anything other than stereo PCM or encoded SPDIF data you will not get anything else but FL and FR channels when calibrating. Read more about this is the soundblaster forum section here.
My suggestion, as I'm sure everyone else will, is to connect your soundcard using the analogue outputs into the switchbox of the DDTS-100.
Edit: to be more precise this is how you can connect everything: from your soundcard, connect the analogue outputs into the switchbox of the DDTS-100. Connect the switchbox to the main DDTS-00. Connect the DDTS-00 main to the speakers. Now, connect the digital out from your soundcard into the coaxial input on the DDTS-100. When doing a calibration, switch to PC mode on the switchbox and calibrate. If you then want to use the digital out, enable digital out only in the speaker or THX settings. I use this setup at home actually but use the T7700 speakers instead.

  • Video control works only with right click

    I published a podcast in my iweb website.
    One of the videos has been published, but the play button works only by right clicking, instead of normal left click...
    Other videos work well....
    I Just tried to delete, rebuild and publish again the page, but nothing changed...
    Does anybody know how to solve my issue?
    Thank you

    Since you do not provide useful information so I can check it, I have to guess :
    Is an image or object blocking the video? Or is the video below the bodylayer and in the footer area?
    In a browser window, do Command-A to select everything on a page.
    In iWeb do Command-Shift-L to see the outline of the page and it's object.
    Study everything very carefully to see what's hiding.

  • Right side of track pad not working, only left side is working

    the right side of the track pad on my MacBook Pro is not working, only the left side.

    If this computer has a removable battery, take it out and see if the battery is swelling. If that is the case, try running the computer without the battery on just the charger, to check if the swelling is the cause.
    If the computer does not have a removable battey, the best you can do is examine the underside for signs of a swelling battery.

  • Logic Express Presonus Firebox only left channel output in phones

    I upgraded from GarageBand. I have a 17" MacBookPro and a Personus Firebox. I configured the AudioMidi Preferences on the Mac to the Firebox for input and output. When I play back a mono track I only hear the left channel in the phones. I am panned to center. In GarageBand when I configure the Mac as the Audio Driver I hear my mono mix in both L and R phones which is what I want.
    Also, in Logic Express, I get no sound when I configure the audio out to the Mac. It needs to be routed to the Firebox.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Jonathan

    Thanks for the advice. I tried listening to a song from my itunes library, not using Logic and I still heard just one channel. The culprit must be a faulty connection in the Firebox.

  • Compare in Library works just left / right ?

    Isn't there the chance to put the 'Select' on top and the 'Candidate' under it?
    I would prefer that for horizontal images.

  • European to UK Adapter work on a Creative DDTS-100?

    Hi
    I got a Creative Decoder DDTS-100 of a friend but it only comes with a European AC power supply that has two round prongs and I need one for the UK mains, so I was wondering if anyone knows whether one of those European to UK Adapters would work with the DDTS-100 and if they would then what strength of fuse would would I need in order to power the DDTS-100?
    I have tried a adapter my mom gave me but it only has a amp fuse inside it and it didn`t power the DDTS-100 so i`m wondering if it would be because the amp on the fuse is too low?
    Thanks for responding.

    Very helpful forum this is. Two posts and not even one helpful reply.
    Mods please remove my two posts and delete my account from the board.
    I don`t need your help anymore.

  • DDTS 100 capable of virtual surround on headphone outputs?

    I was wondering if the DDTS-100 is capable of virtual surround on the headphone outputs when input is Dolby Surround or DTS?

    It's a basic stereo downmix (or at least much more basic than say CMSS3DHeadphone). When headphones are plugged the 'Stereo' LED is always lit.

  • Alt shortcuts not working for alt-left/right or for é, í etc

    Hi guys,
    I've had this problem for a while now… Essentially, the issue lies in the alt-shortcuts for left and right where one is usualy able to 'word jump', and the creation of accented characters like é and í using the alt-e shortcut. All other alt functions appear to work fine for the moment. The alt-left/right shortcut still works when shift is held down, and highlights all the characters that have been passed over, as it should. The output for alt-e is completely blank, and the alt-left/right output is nothing, unless shift is also held.
    I have a British English MacBook Air keyboard on Mountain Lion, and I have set it to that layout, and I regularly switch between this and greek for scientific formulæ. I've fiddled around with language and input settings trying to get it to work again to no avail, and there are no shortcuts programmed to that to my knowledge. I have checked on a guest account and it seems to be account specific. Ideally I'd like to keep this account without migrating everything over - does anyone have any ideas with regards to how to track down where the problem is?
    Thanks in advance to any responses!

    If only alt + e is not working, double check system preferences/speech to make sure it has not been set as a trigger for text to speech or speech recognition or whatever.

  • DDTS-100 Issue - PC Switchbox Works but Stereo Input to Decoder does not

    I recently sold a DDTS-100 to someone on eBay. It was working fine for me when I shipped it. I had an XBOX, PS2, PC, and TV Tuner connected to a Creative Inspire P5800 5.1. The new owner states that the PC works fine with the switchbox, but when switched to "decoder" he gets no audio from stereo inputs from his XBOX. Anyone have recommendations or link to a site, forum post, or other, for him as far as root causing the issue?

    Yes, I read it here: http://www.ausmedia.com.au/Creative%20DDTS-00.htm
    I was thinking, the only way I can think of doing this, and I'm not definately sure you could either, is to connect a 7.1 sound card to the switchbox of the DDTS-100 decoder with a 7.1 audio cable (lime green, black, orange and grey), with only the standard 5.1 connects (lime green, black and orange) going to the switchbox, and the grey/side speaker connect going into a pair of active speakers or a hi-fi. As I say, I'm not sure - but maybe this is something along the lines of what they meant? Other than that, maybe the reviewer was high at the time! :manvery-happy:

  • What speakers work with the Creative Labs DDTS-100 Digital Decoder-Upto 7.1

    what speakers do the Creative Labs DDTS-100 Digital Decoder-Upto 7.1 work with thanks

    Unless the Digital 5500 speaker set has analog inputs it can't be used with the DDTS-100. You must connect the DDTS-100 to a speaker system through the analog outputs either from the main unit or the switchbox. I have not heard of any cables to convert analog audio into digital form so digital speakers can understand and play it.
    The best speaker system? I have absolutely no idea dude. You must be the judge of that, if it is you who are going to listen to it. I like my S750 system but that is me. You have to read loads of info and reviews and preferably listen to them in a store if you can.

  • DDTS-100 not work

    Hi. I recently obtained a DDTS-00. It worked fine, until today. I used it for a short while, then turned it off. I came back an hour later, tried to turn it on, but nothing happened. The red light wasn't on like normal. Power was plugged in, and the power supply felt slightly warm (but not as warm as when the DDTS is working.) The outlet was fine. I tried another outlet anyway, but had no luck. The power supply isn't generating any heat now, either.
    Seems to me like the power supply isn't working. Anyone else have these troubles?

    Your connection since you use the ddts-100 is digital so you use a coaxial or optical cable and the maximum speakers that can play with digital signal are 6.1.
    If you want to use all of you speakers you have to connect the 4:3 cable.You can connect it directly from your soundcard to your speakers or through the cable divider .
    Now if you're using the 4:3 cable check in Creative Audio Console that you check 7.1 option.
    I hope I helped you.

  • Connecting DDTS-100 and Audigy 2 ZS

    Hello!
    I have some problems with DDTS-100. My systen curently is: Creative S750, DDTS-100 and Audigy 2 ZS. I can't understand how this DDTS-100 is working. I try to coneect Audigy2 ZS to DDTS using coaxial connection, but when I done this DDTS sound only in Stereo mode. Is it OK. I can't tur on Dolby and DTS on it. Then I try to connect some radio uzing Anolaog input. When I uze Analog input I can Chose betven Stereo Dolby and DTS, But still I cant Switch on Dolby digital or differnet sound modes. And if I tur On Dolby or NEO6 then I don't hera sound from side speakers . I'm wery upsad. I can't Understand how this DDTS-100 is working...
    Pls give me some advice...
    Regards,
    RaimizA

    Analog output on the soundcard --> DDTS-100 switchbox
    Switchbox --> DDTS-100 main unit
    Switchbox --> Speakers
    Digital out on the soundcard --> Coaxial input on the DDTS-100 main unit
    The digital output on the soundblaster can ONLY SEND OUT EITHER A PCM STEREO SIGNAL OR AN ENCODED DATA STREAM (AC-3). In order to make the DDTS-100 decode the data stream correctly you MUST have the software set to SPDIF passthrough and also have that set in the Audio HQ or the Audio console. Put the switchbox to decoder mode. The only way to light up the lights of the DTS and Dolby Digital is to feed the main unit with an encoded data stream of those sound formats. If you try to play anything and put it through the digital out that is not DTS or DD you are going to get... Stereo.
    In order to get sound from the side speakers you must first set the switch on the back of the DDTS-100 main unit to 6.1/7.1 and set the upmix to 5.1-->7.1 or 6.1-->7.1 (depending on the source) on the main volume controller of the S750.

  • Question about the DDTS-100

    Hey all,
    (I'm not sure if someone asked this already, but I'm gonna ask anyway :smileyvery-happy: .)
    I'm not sure if I read the features right, but does the DDTS-100 allow you to
    be able to listen to more than one input at once, say I'd be able to play music from a
    CD Changer and play a game of Half-life 2 and hear both of them.
    Thanks in advance,
    Brandon

    Stuffy,
    The DDTS-100 will only play from one source at a time. This is much in the same way that a component receiver works.

  • Help connect X-fi Elite Pro with DDTS-100 and Gigaworks s750

    Hi,
    I purchased a brand new Gigaworks s750 speakers system, DDTS-100 decoder and X-fi Elite Pro. I connected the DDTS-100 and Elite Pro using Optical Fibre output from the audio console of X-fi Elite Pro to the optical digital input of DDTS-100. With the cables supplied with s750, I connected it to the Decoder DDTS-100. The problem is I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers and the front speakers. Only the centre speakers and the side speakers are producing sound. I could hear loud hissing sound and very very low volume of the music from the front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. I can hear good quality sound from the centre speakers and average quality sound from the side speakers. What could possibly have gone wrong with my setup ? Somebody please help me. Thanx in advance.

    Hi Richie,
    Thanq for your response. But unlike what you have mentioned, ("what may be happining is the soundcard is decoding the signal and then the ddts is trying to decode it with disatrous results"), In my setup the signal is not getting decoded two times, once by Soundcard and once by the DDTS-100. As I have mentioned that I am taking out an Optical Signal from the sound card to the DDTS-100, the signal comming out from the sound card to the DDTS is Encoded signal only. So there doesnt arise a chance that the signal is getting decoded twice. Can you think of any other reason why my setup is not working? Please let me know.
    regards,
