Dvd sound with Ext

I bought an Extigy last Xmas. Everything about it works well except...No matter what DVD player I use, my sound for all DVD's is crackly and breaks up...Creative did a special tech support where they even called me for a whole month. I finally gave up because they could never figure it out.
I could play DVD's fine "before" I purchased the Extigy. I have a Dell 4600. I do not have 5.. I have 4 point surround speakers/FPS2000 by Cambridge. I think I have tried everything possible...but, I would like to play my DVD's! There have been no new Creative updates for the Extigy since 2003. Some have suggested that the Extigy just does not work for this...could that really be possible?

Hello...
Wow! Someone trying to help me! I'm sorry, never in my life have I come so close to giving up.
Ok... The closest to feeling that a "symptom" was showing itself , was when someone talked me to the Device Manager and down to IDE settings. When you go to the Secondary IDE Channel Properties/Advanced Settings...Device is my DVD. "Auto Detection" is showing and is greyed out. Where it says: "Transfer mode "DMA if available" it is showing "STILL in PIO mode". The tech that got me there said something pretty complicated had to be done...So...What do you think? Another person suggested USB cable could not handle this sound and produce a clear listening. Boo! No. I thought I had this set up to remind me to check this or let me know when new replys happen. I tend to forget about it...Luckily.
I will check soon.

    I have imported a WMA-file in Audio-1 track of PE – still no sound to hear. But I can see the sound in the track. (Like in my video-clip) Therefore I also think it is a setting in PE. Will you be so kind to tell me where I have to look? Because I am no expert. Or is it possible that I have to activate anything in PE? It is first time that I will work with PE 9.
    Further information: The original sound of the Mini-DVD is 5:1 surround. After first problem I have changed Nero to export in Stereo, but this did not solve the problem.
    Thanks and regards

  • No sound with Firefox. PC sound is OK. DVD's play sound fine. Firefox stopped.

    There is no sound with Firefox 5.0.1 or prior version (updated Firefox in attempt to fix). PC sound work fine. Play Solitaire, sound OK. Play DVD, sound is OK. Not in Firefox. Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash (twice) to no avail. Firefox says all plug ins are up to date.

    Hi there,
    UPDATE2:
    Apparently using another Firefox profile the plugin-container.exe process is no longer take too much memory. However I'm currently seeing a little increase in using resources like threads and memory allocated.
    It seems to me that the plugin-container.exe process and plugins installed don't work very well together. Sometimes the firefox.exe process still exists even when I had exited from the main menu (Exit).
    Hoever I'm not going to continue this "test" since it is going to take too much time for me.
    This thread could be intended as closed for me.
    Thanks Chris.

  • BURNED DVD PLAYS WITH SOUND ON PC BUT NO SOUND WHEN PLAYING ON TV ???

    BURNED DVD PLAYS WITH SOUND ON PC BUT NO SOUND WHEN PLAYING ON TV - VIA VIDEO PLAYER ??

    Hi,
    It may be worth trying another burning application to see if this helps the issue.
    Download and install the free utility, ImgBurn and use this to create the DVD.  Guides on using this to burn to single layer and dual layer discs are below.

  • DVD Sound choppy with onboard sound

    Okay, I have this problem with playing any dvd's through any version of power DVD.
    With the onboard sound chip with the latest realtec drivers, any dvd (especially high fidelity funny enough) plays with the sound really choppy and nasty. If I switch to my second soundblaster soundcard, the sound is really perfect. So i'm just wondering what is causing the A97 chip to output choppy sound when playing dvd's, wheras normal mp3's play fine
    Thanks
    Dan

    Cant think of much though have you enabled DMA on your DVD drive?
    Because I had somany problems with my onboard sound card I went and got my self a creative live sound card.

  • I have surround sound with my LCD TV.  Will my new iPad into an HDML connection be able transmit surround sound via Utube, iTunes or whatever?

    I have surround sound with my LCD TV.  Will my new iPad into HDML connection and Utube, iTunes etc. produce surround sound?

    ATV definitely supports AC3 DD 5.1... etc, but definately not through AirPlay, only streamed through the inet.
    I also found, in the case of Netflix, that the AC3 is preserved in the highest bandwidth mode but not available in the lowest. (frankly i did not test the intermediate bandwidth)
    I was quite pleased with the sound and picture from Netflix.
    I am not so patiently waiting for AirPlay to support AC3 DD or DDPlus because I record my home video in %.1 surround (AVCHD) and can preserve it through Final Cut Pro and DVD or Red Laser, but cannot use the intended cable replacement (AirPlay) to play them.
    Bummer..
    I think/hope if more people request surround sound via AirPlay Apple may then follow through on this otherwise good idea.
    FWIW

  • No sound with Blu-Ray

    I have a e9150t with a blu-ray dvd player. I can't get any sound with my external speakers. The only way I seem to be able to get sound is with blue tooth headphones. I tried disabling all but the external and making them the default but they still don't work. They work with everything else so I know it's not them. 

    There should be two or even more options in the sound properties.  One will be a generic one the other one should be a HDMI or hi dif one.  I think you deleted one by accident.  I think if you uninstall the sound driver, restart the machine and reinstall the sound driver it should put them back.   
    You can uninstall the sound driver by going to the control panel, programs and select the sound driver to remove it. 
    To install it go to start, all programs, my toshiba, toshiba application installer.  Select the sound driver.  Hope this works.

  • A small logo of Dolby Digital or DVD-Audio missing when play DVD-A or DVD software with SPDIF

    I can see these logo before when I play DVD-A or play DVD movies with SPDIF enabled on DVD software such as PowerDVD. And now it's gone, when play SPDIF, it does not show these logos at all.
    I appreciate any advises.
    Thanks

    for the logos, someone asked how to know what kind of signal his card was decoding. I provided 2 examples:
    http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dolby.jpg
    http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dts.jpg
    if you don't see them but hear correct surround sound, don't bother. On some situation (not determined which one though) the logo disapears. I lost them some rare times. Last times was when listening to some DD music when programming small homeworks in OpenGL.

  • Sharing DVD-ROM with windows computers ?

    altought i'm very experienced with linux, i'm rather new to mac os, so if this question sounds dumb, accept my early apologies.
    thing is, some time ago, i was trying to copy some printer drivers from a CD to a windows box that didn't have a working cd-rom reader. at first i tried to share my ibook's dvd drive with the windows box, but couldn't find a way to do that from the GUI. since samba is nothing new to me, i edited samba's smb.conf file and added the share manually. after i restarted samba, the windows box could see the share, list the cd's folders but it couldn't open any file nor run executables.
    all windows said was that i didn't have permission to do so.
    i ended up sharing the C: drive on the windows machine and mounted it on mac os to push the files to a temp folder on the wondows side.
    i found and old thread here (from 2000 IIRC) about a shareware that could share folders other than my own home folder, but i don't want to use it, i rather edit smb.conf manually. i'd like to know if there's anything alse besides adding the share in smb.conf that'll allow windows to access the files on my DVD unit.

    ok here is the problem the mount points of volumes on Mac OSX differs from linux,
    In linux volumes are mounted in /mnt
    however on the mac the reside in /dev for example my dvd drive on my imac is
    /dev/disk1s1
    but the only way to browse the volume is using is pathname /Volumes/dvdname
    where dvdname is that actual name of the disk.
    So I can easily setup a samba sharepoint on my using the /Volumes path e.g add the following to /etc/smb.conf
    [dvd]
    comment = dvd drive on macintosh
    writable = no
    path = /Volumes/dvdname
    The problem is that whenever you change your dvd roms you have to change the path to the /Volumes/ each time.
    Sharepoints would be quick way of doing this.
    I have tried using path = /dev/disk1s1
    but I get an error I will keep digging and if you google around as well maybe we can find a good solution.

  • No 5.1 Sound with X-Fi XtremeMusic + Inspire GD

    Hello,
    I've the problem, that I do not get 5. sound with my X-Fi XtremeMusic and my Inspire GD580. I connected it analog. The THX test works fine and also the assingment with all the speakers is correct.
    However, when I listen to music or when I want to watch DVD, sound comes only out of the front boxes.
    I've chosen "Music" as well as "Movie" on my GD580.
    I'm running Win XP SP2 with the newest drivers for the X-Fi card.
    Furthermore, when I try to connect it over coaxial (digital), I only get the sound from the front boxes, even in the THX test. Consequently, the assignment is not correct at all.
    Can anybody help me?

    This behaviour is by design:
    SPDIF Digital Connections only carry 2 PCM signals, which means only stereo.<
    Technologies like Dolby Digital/DTS and there PC-oriented Li've versions encode 5. signals into the 2 channels offered by the SPDIF standard. This is not supported in any Sound Blaster card at the moment.<
    The receiver of your speaker system must support Dolby/DTS and decode it into PCM before it can be played back. (I assume, the GD-series Inspires, do that)<
    As a result, you can only get 5. sound from a single SPDIF connection only when listening to Dolby Digital/DTS content, like DVDs and .ac3 files, and you select offcourse? SPDIF passthrough in either the DVD software or Creative's drivers.<

  • I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

    I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

    The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
    The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
    Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
    WDS network
    If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
    The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
    At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

  • 5.1 sound with x-fi sound blas

    Hi all,i bouhgt an X-fi soundcard together with an logitech 5. system with thx decoder. So this is my problem: My soundcard is connected to the logitech system with an coaxial cable. When i play a dvd with suround sound or a test file i downloaded i dont get suround sound. with the test file i got seperate centre right and left speaker sound but no rear sound and subwoofer sound. on the audio console i selected the passing through mode. Waht else can ai do?Thank you.

    Hi,
    I don't have an solution, but I have the same Problem. My speaker system is an old DTT2500 (5.) from creative. I have the same issues, left, centre and right speakers are working but no rear speakers! I am very disappointed, because my old soundcard couldn't handle 5. an so I expected this new x-fi music card can handle it. I would like to have creative to tell me what speaker system is required to get 5. (surround) sound with this card!?BTW: Using AC3 (DDS) on the external decoder for DVD's (thru spdif) is working.

  • Is it possible to bounce 5.1 Surround sound with Logic Pro 7.1?

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to create a song and bounce it in 5.1 Surround sound with Logic Pro 7.1.1 without extra software and hardware?
    Thanks in advance!

    This will let you make a DVD-Audio disc in Mac. It's free. It is command line only, and not for non-savy computer users.
    There are other commerical programs out there that make DVD-Audio discs. Search google for DVD-Audio OS X. These programs cost $100+

  • Did Apple Break HD-DVD Playback with Mountain Lion using Apple DVD Player?

    First of all, kindly spare me the commentary about Blu-Ray beating HD-DVD. Agreed and not the question. I have perfectly good reasons for using HD-DVD and it works very well for my purposes.
    I authored an HD-DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2. as I have done many times before on Snow Leopard, but this time on Mountain Lion. When I try to play the HD-DVD, either from the physical disk from a disk image, the menu appears, but when the play button is pressed, the menu stays on screen, but the player shows the timecode of the movie playing, but with no sound or picture.
    Thinking that perhaps the menu got corrupted, I put the same HD-DVD into a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and it played perfectly! Conclusion: Not a DVD Studio Pro problem.
    Thinking that it might be DVD Player, I copied DVD Player 5.4 from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro to the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro (which was running DVD Player 5.6), and the HD-DVD still had the same issue on the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro, under either of the DVD Player versions. Conclusion: Not a DVD Player issue.
    The HD-DVD does mount and initialize, so it's not a hardware issue with the optical drive.
    Conclusion: It would appear to me that it's an OS issue with Mountain Lion breaking (either intentionally or unintentionally), HD-DVD playback. Anyone know anything more about this issue? Anyone else saddened to see Apple turn into Microsoft circa 2005, and the MacOS turn into Vista? I haven't seen much of anything about it in the forums, which is why I'm posting it here.
    Thanks Apple. I just spent the better part of 3 days transcoding and authoring this HD-DVD, only to have you screw it up for me 2 days before my film festival (the perfectly good reason for using HD-DVD). Kindly spare me the, "Why don't you encode a ProRes blah blah blah quicktime movie." Heard it all before.
    I knew I would regret upgrading to Mountain Lion, and I do more and more each and every day as I continually find more things that it broke. Yet another reason to add to my list for downgrading to Snow Leopard. I'm up to about 30 of them. Or to abandon Final Cut for Adobe products.
    Thanks and sorry for the rant, but I'm justifiably frustrated.

    Update: The Apple Store in Nashua, New Hampshire replicated the issue on their own hardware, so yes, Apple did break HD-DVD playback with Mountain Lion (it does still work in Lion, they discovered). The Apple Store reported the issue to engineering, but the more people that report the issue, the more likely Apple will do something about it. Thanks Apple.

  • No sound with iTunes HD TV Show with Dolby surround

    I bought my first HD Tv Show in the iTunes store. 24 season 7 episode 1 if it matters. When I play the show in iTunes and select the Dolby track, I get no sound at all. If I select the stereo track, I get stereo sound. But that's obviously not what I want.
    My setup: a MacMini with the optical-out connection to a home theater amp.
    If I listen to a .avi file with AC3 audio in QuickTime or FrontRow, with the help of the Perian plugin, it works fine with the Dolby surround sound. So it's an issue specific to iTunes HD content.
    I tried uninstalling this Perian plugin, I played with the settings in the "Audio Midi setup", nothing helps, I still get no sound with the iTunes TV show.
    Is there something wrong on my computer or it is a known issue?

    I've got the same issue. DVD Player and Perian/VLC are able to output 5.1 over an optical cord to my receiver for DVDs and other files, but not for iTunes HD downloads (neither iTunes nor QuickTime can do this, even with Perian.)
