Dtt 3500 + audigy 2 zs + windows 7

Hi all,
I have an older speaker system, creative cambridge soundworks DTT3500 with windows 7 64 bit and audigy 2 zs - the system was deli'vered with onboard sound but can't use with dtt3500 so I installed zs 2 (audigy) but when going to sound the dtt3500 just flashes on all setting and I get no sound.
Seriously I was reluctant to move to W7 now this.. is there anything to do? I am using what I think is the din plugs.. din->digital.
anyone able to help?

any help?
i installed the drivers from windows update and volume bar works normal. but tis driver can't spread the 2.0 audio to 5 channels. only 2 front works and quality is very bad in my opinion.
in the xp i have no problem with creative but why they give us a good driver for win7. we give them money at all.
the sound quality of audigy drivers in win7 is very very bad for xp. guys can anyone found a driver for win7 like xp quality?

Connecting DTT 3500 to Audigy 2

HI there,
Hope someone can help cos I'm going mad! I am trying to connect my Audigy 2 to my DTT3500 speakers. For a long time I have had them conected to my DVD player and as a result have lost the pc adaptor cable that came with the speakers. So, I ordered a 4-pole minijack to mini Din/RCA cable from Creative, as this was the solution suggested by every site I looked at.
However, having just received the cable I have found that the cable has a female RCA connector and a female mini din connector - the same as the DTT 3500
Does anyone know where i can get hold of a converter so that I can finally play my games in surround!!?
Thanx
F

flangie,
From what you wrote, I think you might have purchase the wrong cable. Did you purchase this cable or this cable 2. Cable 2 should be what you need for the DTT3500. Cable are meant for the DTT2500 speaker and FPS2000 speaker.

Finally got my Cambridge DTT3500 DTT 3500 working in 5.1 surround on my iMac!

fyi, just got an iMac and was struggling to get 5.1 surround sound using my Mac with my old faithful DTT3500
So I'm posting this just in case anyone needs to know how to get the DTT3500 to work with an iMac:
- Cable: Belkin Pure A/V Digital Optical cable with Mini-Toslink adapter (available from Apple) but there are other similar cables available on the market.
- Connections: iMac audio out (Mini-plug) to optical in (Toslink) on the DTT3500 (using the supplied mini-toslink adapter with the Belkin cable)
- DTT 3500 Settings:
*Set/toggle the "Creative Multi Speaker Surround" button to "Fourpoint/5.1"
*Set/toggle the "Dolby Digital/PCM Audio" button to "Optical"
*Set/toggle the "Multi Channel" to OFF i.e. both "Line In" and "Digital DIN" are off(dark)
*Set/toggle the "Dolby Pro logic" button to "Digital In"
NOTE: you can change the "Creative Multi Speaker Surround" option to your desired audio purpose if you don't want surround e.g. Music, Stereo, etc. but when you want surround sound again just remember to reset the "Dolby Pro Logic" button back to "Digital In" since it gets toggled OFF when you select anything other than "Fourpoint/5.1 DIN" (using the "Creative Multi Speaker Surround" button) and it DOESN'T TOGGLE BACK ON again when you re-select "Fourpoint/5.1 DIN".
That's it!
At least I can hold off buying some new speakers/surround processor for a while, since I'm now broke after buying the iMac

Well I'm not using Vista I'm using XP SP2 and I have the same problem.
On the windows sound control panel there is a button called speaker volume. when you click on it you get a bunch of sliders with channels -8. Ive discovered that if I move the master sound control in any of the Creative Sound modes software Entertainment/Audio Creation or Gaming the channel sliders in the windows control panel numbered 3-7 all go to zero which stops the surround sound working. It leaves channels and 2 and 8 alone which can be changed with the sound control in the creative software.
Even checking move all the slides together option on the windows control panel is cancelled as soon as I twitch the main sound control. It's driving me nuts. I keep thinking I must be missing something really obvious here but alas I can't think what.
Ive tried lots of different solutions to no avail. Interestingly when I tried to use the autodriver update thing on the creative web site it said that i am using Vista and you'll have to download manually. Which I did and still didnt resolve my problem.
Sorry no solutions just more problems lets hope someone can help!
Edit - Just discovered - I have XFi Pro if I use the I/O Console volume dial it works fine, but if I use the software volume control it all goes wrong. Think I posted in the wrong thread as well as this is vista but it just seemed so relevant.

Lost the cables to my DTT 3500

I am currently the lucky owner of a DTT 3500 sound system and a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS soundcard, my problem is that I seem to have lost the cables I need to produce digital sound.
From searching the internet I've discovered that I need to use the Digital Out port of my soundcard and the Digital Din input port in the DTT 3500, which also seems to require a bit of converting.
Thus my question is: Which cables/converters do I need to buy to preserve the digital quality and achieve 5.1 surround sound?
Thanks in advance

I have a DDT 3500. While I really love that setup and sound from it, I developed some issues with my optical input stopped working in the decoder. So the speakers and everything are all sitting in my garage and I replaced it with a DTT-100 Decoder.
To answer your question:
You have to have a Digital Din cable. I will have to look at the documentation because I cannot remember if the digital din plugs into the sound card or the sub woofer. I thinkthe Digital Din Cable goes from the sound card to the DDT3500. Maybe someone can chime in here and help confirm what I am posting.

Dtt 3500 - Can't choose Dolby Digital DIN / PCM Audio

Hey all,
I've had a DTT 3500 for quite some time now and I was always very satisfied with this surround system.
I recently bought a new 7.1 System for my computer and now use the DTT 3500 along with my videobeamer to play Playstation 2 and XBox games... the soundoutput from these devices works perfect.
My problem is as follows:
I would like to use my DTT 3500 from my computer too, I hooked the DTT 3500 up to my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS soundcard with the "digital cable" that came with the DTT 3500. I then choose 5.1 speakers and "Digital Output Only"... but I don't hear any sound coming from the DTT 3500.
According to the manual I have to choose "Dolby Digital DIN / PCM Audio". When I try button with which one would accomplish that, I fail as I can only select Optical and Coaxial... I never get a "green light" next to "Dolby Digital DIN / PCM Audio".
Does anybody have the same problem?
The Audigy 2 ZS works wonderful with my 7.1 system and if I uncheck "Digital Output Only" I hear sound, all no problem... also, if I use an AC3 source (eg. XBox 360) I hear sound from the DTT 3500... I just have a problem hooking it up via digital output from my PC with Audigy 2 ZS...
Please help, this is driving me nuts! (And I tried to get it to work all sunday long... )
Cheers
Onkl

onkl0r,
Try disconnecting and then reconnect the DIN cable again. The speaker will need to detect a DIN connection first before the DIN option is selectable on the speaker end.

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.

How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?

:How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?Y Two days ago I bought a Soundblaster Audigy SE-retail soundcard. I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP-SP3 and Windows 7 RC. The installation of the soundcard?in Windows XP was easy, no problems, good sound.
But how to install in Windows 7 RC ?
I have the installation and applications CD with XP and Vista drivers and I have the driver-download from Creative.com SB24PCDRV LB 0 - 04 - 0090.
Windows 7 tells me "No device for audio output is installed". Windows automaticly?installed a driver, but that doesn't work. (code 39). The driver download from?creative does not install new drivers and when I try it manually Windows tells me "The best driver is already installed"
When I uninstall?the driver that Windows installed and try to install the downloaded?creative driver for Windows 7, the driver will not install, and Windows message is something like "?no audio device is installed on this computer"
What to do ? A computer without sound is nothing...
Thanks,
Arie

>Re: How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?% Meocene is 00% on the money. Dan K.'s pack is the best. I have used the pack on four different systems with AUDIGY LS and SE cards that I bought cheaply (all four on Ebay for $40). The package has worked under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 very well.
I have friends that play Left4Dead and they have been immensely pleased when playing the games in their flats with or without headphones, as compared to their old "onboard RE--t-k" sound.
The package also works well on a Gateway or HP machine when disabling onboard audio first then installing the Audigy and installing drivers and apps for the first time. Gi've up on using your old CDs, you will only run into a mountain of trouble trying to "Auto-Update" all that with the newest patches.

Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working

Audigy Platinum Ex Windows 7 SPDIF IN not working? I have an old Audigy Platinum Ex that has served me well, until now when I have a new Windows 7 x64 PC (RTM). SPDIF IN no longer works, though everything else does (including SPDIF OUT). I've tried the current and beta drivers for the card, and no difference.
In Windows Vista x64 I could use ASIO drivers with my M-Audio ProFire 60 while using the Audigy for PC audio. Most often this was for skype, which I would set to use SPDIF IN/OUT which I then connected to the ProFires SPDIF OUT/IN. Using the ProFire mixing tool, I could control which mics and levels went to the Audigy while not interfereing with the ASIO drivers recording the mics. The ProFire also recorded the SPDIF OUT from the Audigy to caputre the person on Skype to their own audio track. This is a podcast producer's heaven, and I miss it!
If it's a known issue (SPDIF IN / Win 7), I've had this card through 4 PC upgrades and it's served me well enough I don't mind buying new. The Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Elite Pro looks to be the current version of my Ex - are there any Windows 7 issues currently that would stop me from using it in the role above? I will miss the FireWire port, a shame they dropped that.

Well basically it is possible, and I've found this out. Apparently Dell released a driver or something that allows it to work, but then only if you install a 3rd party modified xp version of the creative suite. I don't remember where I found it, but it was through google... Using some term including x-fi, dts, and vista.... Can't seem to find it now. Anyway, it had a download for the whole creative suite that was modified from the xp version for Vista, however it was buggy as hell, caused driver issues and blue screens, and ended up causing me to have to reinstall Vista altogether again. In other words, it's possible, but I don't recommend it until it's officially supported... Don't know when this will be yet... *crosses fingers*
Luckily I've got a dual OS system with XP too, and I switch to that when I want to use my Xbox 360... However due to Microsoft also being terrible in that department... I now get entertainment off of its 3 red lights... (For those of you who don't know, 3 red lights = hardware error. Sending into microsoft for repair typically is a 2 month process... I'm still waiting on my prepaid shipping box to arri've and it's been 4 days... Will be a similar wait to get it to them, 4-6 weeks for them to actually repair, and another week or so to get it all shipped back). Although even when the console worked, my dsl modem sometimes cut out when playing on Xbox li've and dropped signals, reported errors, etc.
What is with the companies producing technology nowadays? I just want to play Gears in 5. on Xbox li've... *cries*Message Edited by Supercoolyo on 07-22-20070:54 AM

Microphone , Audigy Se and Windows 7 64bit

*Microphone , Audigy Se and Windows 7 64bit's I have wasted several hours today trying to resolve this issue upto and including trawling the internet for a solution and completely removing and reinstalling drivers from disc and updating twice. Ultimately I downloaded an update from WIndows - Absolutely nothing, nada works!
I have the Mic Jack for my headphones plugged into the blue line in port - tried and tested on my system card (which works) but I consistently get Line--in Currently Unavailablke for this port suggesting that Creative are totally out to lunch on this one.
I have right-clicked and set levels, tried setting it as default, etc, etc, etc... nothing.
Has anyone succesfully got their mic to work uunder Win 7 64bit's
- Love how it says on the box that Vista nad WIn 7 are supported,,,? guess the partially bit was omitted!
I loathe wondows on any given day of the week but my Mac is currently down so I have no choice but to use this, my wifes machine... NOthiong but lost time whereas if I were on the mac I would be using that time producti'vely, with working software too I might add!
Hope someone has a fix for this because this machine is just one reboot away from going out the frogging window!!!

'sHi,
Are you using this driver? Are you getting no sound from your microphone or is nothing being recorded?
Please go to Control Panel, Sound make sure that the Microphone option is set as default and that the mic levels are adjusted accordingly, not mute.

Audigy 4 and Windows 7

Audigy 4 and Windows 7xAm I basically SOL in waiting for a working driver for the Audigy 4 on Win7 x64. I have tried both official releases from Creative and several releases from DanielK as well, and none of them fix the crackling/popping noises from this sound card. The most recent driver from Creative lessened the popping a bit, but it became quite noticeable if I kept music playing while entering a game.
I ask because I am on the fence about cutting my losses and not dealing with Creative or their products ever again, or actually waiting for a working driver.
I have read over the thread about Nvidia and SLI, and while I do have an Nvidia 8800GTS, I do not have SLI.
If anyone could provide me an answer as to if this problem is still trying to be fixed or if Creative has just abandoned the Audigy cards altogether, it would be appreciated. Thanks

I suppose fi've days of silence answers my question. I'll try a different brand next time.

DTT 3500 Help Me Please!

Can anyone please help me how to connect my DTT 3500 speaker system to my p.c.,I'm a dummy when it comes to electronics,I recently bought these from an auction,with no instructions as I have a FPS 1000 with 2 speakers dead,however the DTT3500 are far more superior and I would dearly like to fit these instead. what I have is 4 sattelites with jacks, centre and woofer with clip ons and jacks, optic cable, I think is called a tandem cable with green(looks like p-c.plug) on one end and a red and white jack on other end,a transformer with plug to something and a remote control,I think I am missing something.
My FPS 1000 speakers plug into the back of the woofer which is so much simpler, can anyone out there help a music lover pensioner.

This issue is not application specific - it happens in everything: Winamp, WMP, games, etc etc?I'm using [color="#000000"]Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 and I've tried reinstall several times.

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

Audigy 4 Pro + Windows 7 Please Help

Hi
First let me ensure you that i tried everything else before annoying you guys with my problem. an estimated 0 times of trying to get audigy 4 pro to work on win 7 with the original drivers and now i tried Daniel K.s Drivers. I appreciate what he has done to help so many with theyr driver issues, but sadly the driver isnt getting me far. first the informations about my system.
Win 7 (64)
Audigy 4 Pro
7. Inspire T7700 Speakers
Phenom II Quad 940
Radeon HD5850 BE
4. GB Ram
Just realized an interesting fact. when my speakers are the standard device for Playing? sounds and not the SPDIF-OUT from creative wmp and vlc work with 7/7 speakers playing sound while the bsplayer only plays 2/7, but when the SPDIF is the standard and the speakers are the communication device(seems wierd) the bsplayer works(7/7) but the wmp and vlc only play sound from 2/7 . AND whats really hard for me, All games are only playing from 2/7? :mansad: its not fun to play Bad company 2 with sound only coming from 2 of 7 speakers (settings are all in order to support 3d sound so its not the game, checked that with several FAQs etc.)
I would greatly appreciate any help to this problem, i wouldnt like to plug everything out and deinstall the drivers and loose my nice remote control and external receiver box since i just installed everything.
Thanks to everyone who decices to help me in this matter.
PS: In the windows sound setting test all speakers work perfectly, even with the normal drivers that mess everything else up for me.
"Updated" tested newest drivers from Daniel K. no changes

stacman70 :?Maybe try going into : Control Panel>Sound?See if you can locate "input 3" there, first check in the "Recording" tab. Set Default if you find it.
