Does the M Audio Transit really works?

I have been thinking about buying something a 650W 5.1-Ch. Home Theater System, then i found out that the sound card in Mac Mini doesn't even support 5.1 so i was told that M Auido Transit which is a external USB sound card will put out 5.1, but how is the sound quality or does it even work?
Thanks.

Well, Marat,
The difference between "PC speakers" and a "5.1 surround sound system" are sometimes only semantic ones.
But, as Mr. Laughlin points out, sometimes a 5.1 home theatre system is marketed without a Dolby decoder.
So, the powerful Yamaha system that you mention certainly is a 5.1 system that can be connected to your Mini, and appears to include the decoder. About the only significant difference that you'll notice between the two units is that the Yamaha's decoder looks more like a VCR than does the Z-5500 decoder. I suppose you could debate the quality of decoders, but the Logitech is rated well in this area.

The Logitech Z-5500 can easily qualify as a home theatre system, and includes a critical wireless remote. But, you're right, other "systems" that cost more do have an appearance that may be better in a living room (like Klipsch units).
So, appearace and price may be the key factors in your decision, as the units probably have similar performance. You'll still need a M-Audio Transit or Theatre (which isn't a decoder), though.
Someone else here just got some Z-5500s for their Mini:

Maybe Mr. Sullivan can give you some more firsthand tips.
Peace to you,

  • Does the Video Button Action really work?

    According to teh Adobe site, the Video button action should be functional:
    I have not been able to get it to function so far. I am truing to get the button to play a video from a Navigation point. Am I doing something wrong (likely) or is the Adobe site incorrect.

    Thanks Bob. That would be a great feature to add. I'm using DPS to create some interactive video applications and that would give me lots of new abilities.

  • Does the 10.0.2 update work?

    Does the 10.0.2 update work?
    I tried the update to 10.0.2 when it was released but the update failed to work.
    Adobe Application Manager gave the following dialogue:
    "Some updates failed to install. Update is not applicable".
    Apple's Get Info for the application says version 1.0.1 and the Adobe about box says version 10.0.1.19
    I ran "updates" from the After Effects help menu again this morning but the response is "no updates available"
    I have the retail copy of CS5 and used the retail version of the update.
    Pip

    Someone's going to say it, so it may as well be me...
    This is a user-to-user group, not an official Adobe technical support outlet.  It is my understanding that Adobe people such as Todd contribute as part of an unofficial help policy, and we all appreciate the input.
    So sorry if you think these very useful fora are shoddy and didn't meet your expectations!

  • Does the Epson Expression 1600 Scanner work in SL?

    Does the Epson Expression 1600 Scanner work in Snow Leopard? Did you have to install Rosetta to get it to work?
    I use my MacBook Pro for business and it is vital that everything I use works properly. From what I've seen on these posts, I may be waiting a long while to upgrade.

    People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan ( ).
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
    Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
    Hope this helps

  • How does the Concurrent Access License (CAL) work.

    Description from Google: How does the Concurrent Access License (CAL) work? Xcelsius Engage Server CALs allow for concurrent live data updates inside Xcelsius dashboards. Every time an end-user triggers a Web service inside an Xcelsius dashboard to retrieve live data, a CAL is consumed for a period of 5 minutes. For that period, in a five CAL deployment for example, there will be only four CALs left for consumption. A five CAL deployment could support up to 25 users and additional CALs can be added to support a larger deployment.
    My question is as follows:
    How a five CAL deployment could support up to 25 users and what does it mean. In the first line it is saying that each CAL for a web service is consumed for a period of 5 minutes and how come it can support 25 users concurrently. Did it mean 25 web service connections inside a swf flash file or 25 different users to access a single web service through swf flash.

    The "Set cost controls" concurrent program is used in R12 to mass update the cost control fields on item costs.
    The cost control region is found by going to Cost management >Item costs > Item Costs
    The concurrent program lets you specify which items /costs should be updated by using various parameters such as cost type, item range, category range etc.
    And you can specify the source for the new cost control data and the new value for the fields.
    Hope this answers your question,

  • Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

    Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

    The only one that will work with OSX is the one you order with the Mac Pro from Apple. The others don't have the correct firmware for OSX.
    I've also noticed that the online store lets have an option for the QuadroFX 5800 to purchase with a Mac Pro
    No, it's the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600. That is the only way to get it. NVIDIA does not sell it directly.

    There are lower cost or free alternatives to MS Office.
    IWork is very good and converts Word files easily. If you only need Numbers or Pages, you can purchase them seperately. There is also Neo-Office and OpenOffice.
