Digital out not working (unibody)

I have been using my digital out for some time and now i noticed its not working. When i go to the system panel it says headphones when i plug in the digital audio out connector rather then saying digital audio out. NOthing has changed otherwise. Same connector cable plugging into the same audio system.
Thanks in advance

Have you tried cleaning out the jack with some compressed air? Sometimes the Mac will mistakenly think something is plugged in to the optical/analog audio jack.

Audigy 2 Value digital out not work

I'm trying to use the digital out on my audigy 2 value card using my onkyo system (6. with a receiver). at first i tried using a stereo /8" male to /8" male cord with one end using a /8" to rca adapter and hooking that up to my coax input on my receiver. using that, i was only able to get 2.0 sound (no sub signal). I have my receiver set to 'direct' input so it receives whatever PCM or DD signal is sent. I tried both mp3's and dvds and nothing gives more than 2.0. I called tech support and was told i needed to use a mono cable. i went to radio shack and got a /8" mono (male) to phono (female) adapter and hooked it up to one end of a phono (male) to phono (male) cord and plugged them into the respecti've places on my soundcard and receiver (coax). Still only 2.0. I did the speaker test in speaker settings and it confirms only 2.0 because all i hear is "front left" and "front right". what's wrong? I'm about to go nuts on this.

alright, i read the knowledge base articles and saw that the tests won't output more than left and right, but still, it's not working for my dvd's. i have my receiver set to "direct". is that right? i'm using windows media player for the dvd playback, should i try something else? do i have to install an AC3 codec? do i have to enable something in media player? anything please

MacPro's digital outs not working w/ Express

So I have Logic Express working OK with my new MacPro's normal analog output, but it won't work with the digital outs. Why? This shouldn't be too difficult to set up. At the same time, maybe I'm missing something because I don't even see where in LE to set up the output..... brand new user. I'd appreciate a hand.
cheers

You're supposed to use the volume control on the AV receiver more really.

Audigy 2 ZS Digital out not work

Can someone tell me what "The Digital out from the soundcard is of electrical type and not optical type so you can't use optical cable with the Digital output jack directly" (taken from another post) means. Trying to get the Digital?output acti've on my card but no sound comes out not even the tell tail red light from the cable. If i'm missing something someone please tell me. Whats the defference between "electricial and not optical type" mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There are two types of transfering methods for digital signal - optical (fiber) and coaxial (wire).
If your card is plain A2Zs (no external Dri've or Digital I/O then, you're trying to get signal passed to external device through fiber cable (optical) when your connection type in Audigy is through wire (coaxial).
You need to use normal cable as like [mini jack plug] --> [RCA] (if you use std stereo mini jack plug to 2 x RCA cable, the tip is the hot in plug --> white RCA (I quess).
If your receiver does not have coaxial input for ext. sources then you need to get the Digital I/O from Creative or some othr coaxial to optical converter.

Digital out not working

Hi,
I know this has been covered but I can't find an answer for my problem. I have a mbp running OSX 10.8.3. My problem is I can't get the digital output via toslink with mini adapter to Bose lifestyle 28 optical to work. The toslink works fine with my TV to the Bose, so I have ruled out the cable. There is no red light being emitted from the mbp when the adapter only is attached, nor when the cable is attached. When everything is hooked up, in sound preferences I cannot change any settings as they are greyed out, including the volume. I have tried PRAM and SMC reset. Can someone please suggest a solution. My thoughts are that no red light could be a clue or why can't I adjust the volume in sound preferences. Do I need to download a driver? Please help as this is very frustrating. Thank you

Creative SB0410 digital out only works for dd/dts, not for stereo or web videos...

Creative SB0410 digital out only works for dd/dts, not for stereo or web videos...
Hi all,
Need some suggestions here.
I have an old Creative sb0410 7.1 channel card and after reading few long threads, I am able to output dd/dts via 3.5mm to rca connector.
However, the problem is I only hear sound if the video has dd or dts sound. When I play normal MP3 or youtube videos, there is no sound.
Is there a way to configure the digital out so it sends all sound to the receiver whether it's dd or dts or regular stereo?
Thanks

As a workaround, I used another 3.5mm stereo to RCA adapter on stereo LR output of sound card and hooked to a different input in my receiver.
Problem, is I have to switch input in receiver for non DTS/DD sounds.
It's disappointing that my upscaling dvd player sends all sound signals via coax but this card does not.
Isn't it supposed to send all sound signals via coax regardless whether it is DTS/DD or normal stereo/mono etc?

Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Optical Out not working???

Hey friends,
I purchased a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCIe yesterday to run on Windows 7 64bit to trigger VSTi instruments. I can hear the VSTi play fine when I have headphones plugged into the soundcard but I want to send the audio sound OUT via the Optical Out into my Steinberg MR86x firewire audio card. ?
I can see the light on the optical cable but no sound seems to be being sent from the sound blaster into the steinberg card.
?Now before people start saying you cant do that, I have have been doing this for the last 3 years and it has been great apart from my RME Audio card is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit hence why I purchased the soundblaster.
I really am at a loss as to what I can try next, I have been through this forum and tried a few recommended tweaks but nothing? Am I missing something obvious here?
I am using the following drivers
Driver: v2.7.008 Windows 7 64bit
DTS Connect: for Windows 7 64bit
Also in the Audio Control Panel / SPDIF I/O all options are greyed out apart from the Digital Output tickbox, I only want to use this card for Audio as in creating music or specifically for triggering VST synths.
I would really appreciate any advice
Thanks in advance

Re: Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Optical Out not working?I have same card, same?OS?and lots of problems.
Analog outputs(control panel->sound->speakers) disappears when boot or reboot, sometimes it works week, sometimes a hours. When it works, it's works ok, but suddenly during boot,?all sounds is lost, when trying launch for example Creative Audio Control Panel this message appears: There are no supported audio device available. You need to close the application. Click OK to close the application now.
And when analog outputs disappears, no any sound via SPDIF, even it shows in notification area and control panel->sound and in device manager.
I have owned card about two months, once change card in warranty, and?several uninstall, cleaning traces, reinstall and card works for while?and?out of blue, when boot computer, no sounds at all and only way to get sounds back is driver uninstall, cleaning and reinstall.
Creative Customer Support seems to be clueless, but make Technical Support Request if problems continue. And all other too, if problems like that appears, contact to Creative, maybe they really try?to do?something abuot it and not just send instructions how to uninstall and reinstall drivers.

Audigy 2 problems with spdif out not working and cracking appear

Hello everyone,
I am new in this forum but after searching through it i decided to post as i din't find a problem exactly similar to mine.
I have a Creative audigy 2 ZS plugged on my computer with this configuration : Gygabyte P35 DS3, Quad core Q6600, Kingston 2 gb.
From the beginning of my purchase i did not have any problem of cracking or connection problems in spdif with digital din in either XP or Vista. Last week end i decided to re install XP after a virus infection with XP SWEET wich install directly the drivers of my peripherals like the audigy.
The audigy is connected to my speakers : Creative? 5. kit 5700 via the digital din connection and without any analog connection as i selected digital out only in my settings.
Everything was working fine until 2 days ago when? while watching a divx the sound stopped working. i checked everything in m connection and everything was good as well as my speakers. finally i connected the audigy via analog cables to the speakers to find that, if i select digital out only no sound could be heard and finally that poping and cracking sounds started to appear.
I don't know what happened with my system as it never did that before in any of my configurations.
When i reboot my computer, the digital out start working again to finally stop 5 minutes later.
If somebody can help me is help would be most welcome.
Thank you!

Well, I do not know much about the red light thingy, but if the S-Bracket works well, it should be not problem, unless you can't get anything from the S-Bracket.

Tv out not working on ios 8? please tell me what is problem?

When i update my iPhone 4s to iOS 8.1 tv out not working . Help mee plzz

If those numers are ordered correctly it sounds like you are using a faulty charger with your iPhone. It should charge faster with the charger than a USB port as the charger supplies a higher current. Different batteries are going to charge differently based in part on differences in the ways they have been used.
Try using your friends charger with your iPhone and see how long it takes to charge compared with your charger.

Dtt 3500 Digital OUT doesnt work

The first, sorry for my bad english, its a long time ago
I from Germany and i got the Playworks DTT 3500. But the digital OUT doesnt work. I put the capble in the decoder but doesnt happen. The green diode " DIGITAL DIN, MULTICHANNEL " doesnt glow.
My brother got the DTT 3500 too and his diode glows. He has a normal 5.1 System. I have only the stereo mode.
Can somebody tell me, what can i do?
Thanking you in anticipation..
Mfg Arthur

Well, it could be, it's really hard to say.
There is a problem with a center speaker when you use CMSS 2 (with Audigy 2 cards) and have an EAX Effect turned on. Center speaker is then silent and no sound comes out of it, except when you listen to a Dolby or DTS soundtrack.
I don't know if you have a Creative sound card at all neither I think that your options are set excatly as I mentioned, so yes, it could be the speaker. The best way to find out is to replace it with another speaker (for example front left or right) and plug it into Center jack on the back of the subwoofer (or decoder). Play some music and find out if the speaker is working. Also if you have a Creative sound card run a channel test (in Surround Mixer or Speaker Settings).
Let me know what you've find out. Good luck.

Digital video out not working

For some reason on my 2011 Mac Book Pro the digital video out does not work? It works just fine using the minii adapter for analog video out, but not for digital?
Any advice much appreciated!
Thx
Mark

It is working exactly as it is supposed to. You didn't read the description properly before buying.
Video mirroring is available on the iPhone 4S, not the iPhone 4.
Video out needs to be supported by the app you are using.

Digital Audio not working on Satellite A505 S6012

My digital audio stopped working suddenly. I use HDMI to send the video out of my laptop to my projector. I had been successfully using, for over a year, a digital audio cable in the headphone (SP/DIF) jack to output the sound to my home receiver. The default audio set in the control panel is Realtek Digital Audio.
If I set the output to speakers and plug headphones in the jack, I get sound. If I set the output to Realtek Digital Audio and plug the digital audio cable in, I get no sound. I've tried new cables, changing the input to a different conection on my receiver, reinstalling the Realtek driver, and, as a last resort, completely recovering my laptop to the factory setting. Digital Audio still does not work.
Any suggestions? This is the main way we watch movies in my home.

hi, have you try out srs audio program it nice!
can u help me if u have make for yourself a recovery dvd of S505 S6012 because to mine i didnt do it and it gives me a lot of problems.
if you have please i would like to have it.
thanks....

MacBook video out not working

Hi there
I bought the mini-dvi to s-video/composite output to connect my MacBook up to a TV while away from home (to watch TV and movies) but it doesn't work. First I suspected the old TV, but works OK with the Wii connected. Then I thought it was the cable, but I tried a new cable and the sound works fine, so that's not it. Then I suspected the adapter, but when I got home I connected it to my wife's MacBook and it worked fine.
So, looks like I have dodgy graphics card hardware?
The MacBook detects that the adapter is connected, so some of the pins are working OK. I just can't get a signal from my MacBook to the TV and the auto detect does not work.
Anyone got any ideas? The computer is no longer under warranty and I don't have time to take it to the dealer (it takes them three weeks to turn around a fault!) so I'm guessing that I'll have to open up the device myself and check for some bad connections?
Any advice is appreciated!
Regards... Jonny.

Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

5.1 to home theater receiver thru Optical Out not working; Fatality Platinum

I tried connecting the Optical Out on the front to my receiver's optical in. Made sure everything was set to 5. in both the Creative and receiver settings, and the receiver gets optical 5. just fine with my Play Station version 3 and X-box version 360 gaming computers. Please help, I have tried reboot, messing with settings, Google, I cannot fix this.
Jinwoo from great korea!

Hi I have the same probleme, exept that I have succesfuly pluged my home theater receiver and the 5.1 works. Just my subwoofer seems not to work properly. Like when I plug it into a digital dvd player it works very nicely. but when pluged into the sound card it seems that it dosnt have any signal for it.
ANy clues??? I know i pluged everything finely I have tested the sound test for each speaker and sub to, from the receiver and from the creative software the sub seems to work but very quietly even if I cran the volume up on the sub or in the software , the sub dont work as it should.
1 thing I remarqued is that the sub works occasionaly in some movies. When listening to the music it not working and I dont understand that.
