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.

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?

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.

Gf4MX440-VTP TV-Out doesnt work.

I've just buyed a dual gf4 mx440 with 64Mb and TV-Out, TV-In.
When I installed it I began working with two monitors witout problems, but when I've tried to connect de TV-Out, it doesnt word.
I've checked a hundred times the cable connecting, and it's ok because with my old graphic card I could.
I tried to upgrade the BIOS with an unofficial version and it didn't work, I downdated to the original version of BIOS again.
The graphic card detects the TV because it enables the TV-Out option in the configuration, but when I enable it I get a strange screen of one color on TV. The TV get's of a color brown or orange or something like that and I can't see nothing.
I've selected my country format (Pal/B, Pal/G). I've also tried all other formats whitout any result.
I'm running Windows 2000 Sp3
My motherboard is a DFI AD70-SC (With AGP 4x)
AMD Athlon XP 1.500
512Mb DDR RAM
I've tried all but it doesnt work.
Thank you very much.

Dunno if this thread is still going, but I figured why not
Well, I bought the GF4-mx440 VTP (8866) back in october, but haven't actually gotten around to testing it until last night, and I ran into the same issues.
For reference, the drivers on my cd are 30.00.
It was quite frustrating, but I did a ton of research and here is what I was able to find out. THis information isn't terribly organized, but bear with me because it's hopefully useful
TV-out on nvidia cards is not as simple as some may say. (Ie. all those who say nvidia has way better drivers than ati ).
Different detonator versions have WIDELY varying tvout support. In Some versions it works, some it works well, some it works poorly and others it doesn't work at all. Quite shocking, but sadly this is true.
Bits of info about the MSI-mx440 vtp itself. The tv out is based on a Seperate chip, the Phillips 7108. This chip handles the tv in and out features. (Geforce4 chips have themselves an "on chip" solution for tvout. But typically when manufactures use a Video In chip, you let that chip handle video out also).
Regarding the 440's bios. There is only one version (as listed through the live update running win9x). HOWEVER there are issues with this card and WinXP, to which the fix is to apply a bios update. I have not tried liveupdate on winxp (I run 98se), but I think that this bios update is only available upon special request to MSI. I'm not sure how it affects the situation(s) under win9x, but supposedly it fixes some winxp issues. (I will be installing XP in a dual boot config shortly, so I'l know for sure soon ). So according to the MSI support FAQ's, there is a bios update to address issues in winXP, that you can only get through special request (assuming you have winxp). I am not sure what the affects would be on win9x system, but since I am giong to dual boot soon, I'll probably have to apply the new bios and find out.
Okay, so how to find out if it's a software (driver) problem, or if it's hardware (a broken card that you can return). Here's what you do:
Unplug all monitors (vga connections) and plug in the TV out (I dont' have any s-vidoe tv's, so I just use the composite (RCA) jack) to a tv, and make sure the tv is on. Now boot your computer.
If you get output to the tv (usually the post info from the motherboard, followed by the win98 startup screen) this means your hardware works fine. (This is what happened to me). Strangely, it made it all the way into windows (on the tv), but typically what happens is that once windows loads you end up with the messed up pinkish brown screen. (I've never been able to have it boot into windows on the tv since then, heh).
SO if you do get picture during startup (before the os loads) then it means your card is fine, and it's a driver issue.
*Note: One thing I've noticed is that your tv-output is affected by which VGA out port you put your monitor on. For me, when booting with both connected (vga and tvout) if it's plugged into one socket, I see both monitor and tv, if it's plugged into the other socket, I don't see tv at boot. Not a big issue, but worth noting*
Okay, so now if you did see otuput on the tv during boot (before windows), you know your hardware is working. So you have to find a driver version that works for you. I'm going to list my own experiences.
MY cd came with the 30.00 MSI drivers. These gave me that icky pinkish brown flickering screen. Tv-out didnt' work with them. Tried the 31.00 MSI drivers, same thing. This was odd I thought, as the two most recent MSI drivers didn't work. So I tried the MSI 28.90 drivers, same thing with them too.
Finally I tried the MSI 27.20 drivers, and voilla, tv out worked! I was able to extend the desktop, and clone it, was even able to tape a downloaded episode of 24 on my vcr .
Of course using year old drivers is less than ideal (especially for 3d gamming). However, these are the ONLY MSI drivers that have tvout working.
I decided to move on to the nvidia detonator reference drivers, ideally you'd stick with the manufacture MSI, but what can you do. Here is what I have found so far:
27.20 MSI - Works with tv out
27.20 Nvidia - Works with tv out
27.30 Nvidia - This one is interesting, tv out works in extended desktop mode. BUT there is no tab in the options for cloning (the 'nview' tab is missing). So you can't clone, or overlay, only the extended desktop. So it's an "extended desktop only" driver.
27.42 Nvidia - Works with tv out (works same as 27.20s)
28.90 MSI - NO tv out
30.00 MSI - No tv out
31.00 MSI - No tv out
30.82 - Most resent 41.09 Nvidia - Tried them all, no tv out for any of them.
I have yet to try all the 28-29 nvidia reference drivers, so dunno if tvout works with them.
So what does this all mean? FIrst off, check if your cards hardware works (boot only with tv on and tvout connected, NO VGA). If your hardware works, then you have to find drivers that work with tvout. Give the ones that worked for me a shot, see if they work for you. (I typically plug in my vga and tvout at same time, so a see the POST in BOTH of them. Boot the computer with everything on, and then go to the settings and try to enable tvout).
This situation is less than ideal of course. It looks like you have to pick your drivers based on 3d performance, or tvout. But not both! Either use the most recent drivers for the best 3d support (but no tvout!), or 1yr old drivers for tv-out, but not the best 3d support. I'm an avid gamer personally, so this situation sucks.
What I find odd, is that MSI's own drivers (28.90, 30.00, 31.00) have these issues. They are privy to the peculiarities of the MSI cards, so they should be able to address it.
What the pattern (some drivers work, others don't) suggests to me is that MSI cards aren't fully compatible with the reference design. Possibly an issue with the bios.
I will try and get a hold of the bios update for the WinXp issue, and see how that affects the situation in win98se.
Hopefully this was helpful

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.

Digital out stopped working for no reason?

I have been using the digital out through an optical cable to my surround sound for quite a few months. Today I turned the machine on and the sound no longer comes through. The surround sound does not show a connected device.
I have checked the cable and surround sound device by plugging in another device that has optical out - this works fine. When I plug the optical cable into the back of the mini mac it lights up.
Does anyone have any ideas how this might suddenly stop working and if there is way to fix it? Is the output of the digital out affected by software updates (im running latest updates)?

Hi.
Go to system preferences and then open sound. Click on the output tab and see what info you have under name. If you see Digital Out, it is hardware related (MLB) and needs service. Try to reset the SMC of the mini as well. Here's the steps:

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

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

Audigy 4, digital out would not work, now external box does not power

I recently purchased a audigy 4 sound card. At first it was almost as if there was a loose wire somewhere. Sometimes the external break out box would power up and sometimes it would not. There was no loose wire and it now no longer powers up at all. The only thing that was worse than the intermittent power up was the digital out on the box. First of all I was told that you could use the spidf out on the box to a receivers digital in, this never worked now matter what settings I tried. I was then told to try the mini out. So I went and bought a mono mini out, that was a joke, didn't fit right rarely worked. I then went and bought a mini stereo plug to RCA out, that fit right and worked a few times, It no longer works at all.
I had the settings set up correctly with the spidif passthrough.
Has anyone else had any problems getting the digital out to work with a receiver?
The analog works fine, but just like the audigy mp3 the bass output for my sub is weak and almost nonexistent. I have a nice hifi/ht system I am trying to get this card to work with.

hello there!
i have the same problem - when i use the equalizer i can save a preset without problems,
but if i reboot the pc i first have to open the equalizers window to make the equalizer work. without having opened the equalizer window it seems to be not activated.
does anybody have an idea how to fix that problem?

MSI GF4 Ti-4200 doesnt work with WindowsXP

I can't get the MSI display tools to work - it crashes,
the vbios.dll doesnt load, it also crashes.
the tv in doesnt work ,it crashes
the tv out doesnt work ,it crashes.
all the supplied software also crashes "application has encountered an error and cannot continue. sorry for any inconvenience"
the intervideo software (windvr, wincoder, winproducer) and MSI PVI software all crashes as well.
what's the deal with this stuff? ?(
I have a Dual AMD athlon Tyan thunder k7 motherboard,
MSI Ti-4200-VTD video card and MSI tv anywhere card.
is there any resolution for this?

I'm sorry gfilitti if I don't have my system listed, but I thought my question was pretty simple...
Has ANYONE been able to make the InterVideo WinProducer 2 software, that comes with the retail version of the MSI G4Ti4200-VTD64 card, work successfully under the Windows XP Home or Pro operating system?
If the answer is YES, then I will begin investigating why my system can't.
If the answer is NO, then I only ask for other people's recommendations of what software WILL work in place of that. I NEED those functions to work. That's why I paid extra for the VIVO.
All we've heard so far in this thread are NO votes. I would like to see just how widespread this is. If I can find ONE person who claims it works fine on his/her computer under Windows XP, then my NEXT question would be if they had to do anything different to make it run, or was it just a straight install? Did they add the program patch available from the MSI website? See where I'm going with this?

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.
