Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music)

3Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music) Hello all,
This must be possible! My main problem here is that I cannot find anyway to clone my main output, let me explain.
I have my digital piano plugged into Line in
I have my headphones plugged into the first Line out (these work fine)
I have my TV (plugged in via 3.5mm jack) plugged into line out 2 (the one next to the green one)
My TV is setup as a second monitor so I can watch films etc. All I want to do is get what I hear in my headphones on the television at the same time. I don't want to have to plug my TV into the green lineout everytime I want to use it.
While we're on the subject, is there anyway I can remap the inputs, at the moment if I wanted to plug in my digital piano and a mic at the same time I can't. The irony is I upgraded from my absolute rubbish Realtek AC97 onboard audio device which could do all of the above. Surely this is possible?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Trinitrotoluene

  • Want To Purchase Creative Sound card(XFi, Audigy Series) plz sugg

    Hi,I want to purchase a new sound card. but i am confused with the wide range of creative products. my purpose of purchasing new sound card is music & games.please can u suggest which card i should purchase. i have creative 6. sound system. these are the list of sound card please suggest me which one to buy :-.X-Fi Elite Pro2.X-Fi Fatalty3.X-Fi Platinum4.X-Fi XtremeMusic5.Audigy 46.Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
    I want a sound card which has digital output, so that i can upgrade my speaker later.
    ThanksManish

    Audigy 2 ZS provides best cost/performance ratio. It is suitable for all modern games and delviers great gaming audio experience. X-Fi is waste of money. These card are good, yes but too expensi've and are not so powerful as Creative claims. Oh, and they come with awful software with no updates. Nevermind crappy MediaSource...
    X-RAM is useless. There is not a single one evidence of claimed by Creative Labs performance gain when X-RAM is being used. Correct me with a link for any review if you like. Oh, and good luck with looking for one.Message Edited by crazyandlazy on -24-200606:29 PM

  • Spdif guitar sound from Creative Blaster not coming out through motherboard sound card

    I just bought a new 64 bit PC & transferred my creative labs sound blaster card to it from my old 32 bit PC.
    Everything was fine with windows XP on that 32 bit machine. I fed my guitar signal from my Line 6 UX2 into the spdif in on the creative sound card & the guitar sound was available at the back of my PC from the basic card on the motherboard.
    Now with the new PC I still plug my guitar into spdif input at front of my creative labs sound card. The output is present on the optical out at on the Blaster card. However the guitar sound coming out of the back of my PC from the onboard Realtek sound card is delayed by about 100ms & is poor quality. I've tried every configuration setting but can't get it right. I need to take it from the back so I get everything including play back from one output.
    Also the creative labs control consol opened initially, but now says 'device not available' when I try to open it. Although to start with it would open. The creative card is enabled so it should see it.
    I've downloaded the latest creative labs driver. I think it's for 64 bit. Not sure.
    Any constructive suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Does ANYONE have a solution?

  • Audio line-out gives no sound on right channel

    I've a MacBook with two external speakers connected through a reciever.
    After a while my right speaker stopped working. I brought the reciever back to the store, but everything was fine.
    After plugging the reciever to my iPod, everything was working fine.
    I found out that my line out is correctly anymore. I think because of plugging and unplugging the jack to much.
    I suppose I need te go te the nearest Apple store to fix this problem?
    Or maybe an external sound card is an option?

    Did you check your Balance setting? Goto Preferences-Sound-Output Tab and make sure the Balance slide bar is in the middle between Left & Right. Also, make sure that the speaker plug is plugged in all the way. -GDF

  • Mac Mini (power pc) line out - seeking better sound alternative

    I have an older (power pc) mac mini connected to a stereo preamp via headphone/line out. Does anyone know if this it a true line out (2volt flat EQ no amplification/distortion) or is there an alternative product that could improve the audio output? i.e TrendsAudio USB Audio converter or Grifin FireWave? I'm looking for a high quality stereo audio signal via RCA connections to an sweet-sounding classic analog stereo system.

    The Griffin iMic has a good history for audio out.

  • Sound Cuts Out During Playback-Sound Card/Audio Interface Necessary?-

    I'm a voiceover artist with the following setup:
    Sennheiser MKH 416 P48 U3 Microphone
    Yamaha HS80M Reference Monitors
    Mackie Onyx-i 1220 Mixer
    Adobe Audition CS6
    Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop (Intel Core2 Duo, CPU T5750 @ 2GHz, 32-bit)
    Until recently, I could hear anything I recorded or pre-recorded items with no issues.  However, now, as I listen to anything, the sound 'cuts out' (latency issues?).  The meters on Audition will still be moving, but I'll get no sound from my monitors.  I upgraded to Windows 7, hoping and thinking this would solve the issue, and that Audition would play nicely with Windows 7.  This 'solution' seemed to have helped, but ultimately, it did not resolve my issue.  At this point, I believe it's my sound card.  My studio quality setup seems to be too much for my consumer grade sound card.  Because my Mackie has an interface built into it, I did not believe that I needed an interface.  However, I'm beginning to question that.  So, that's part of my question.  Is an audio interface necessary for me even though I have one built into my Mackie?  If so, based on what I list for my system, does anyone have any recommendations for interfaces?  If I do not need an interface, I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas as to what's causing the sound to 'cut out' and how to resolve it.  Any and all help, I thank you for it in advance!

    Finally!  I wrote a reply a few hours back but the fine folks at Adobe took the site down just before I hit send!  Lucky I saved it elsewhere because the "recovered post" was only the first couple of paragraphs.
    Anyhow, take 2.
    Well, first off, your Mackie Onyx mixer has a firewire interface built in so it, in effect, becomes your sound card.  The one in your computer isn't involved in the recording/playback process at all (at least not unless you're trying to do something like monitor via the computer card rather than the mixer).  Therefore, buying another sound card/interface won't help at all.
    Similarly, audio dropouts aren't a latency issue, at least not directly.  Latency is the delay in the audio as it does the round trip via you sound interface (mixer) and computer.  It's more of an issue for musicians trying to be beat accurate as they over dub tracks.  However, the latency controls could be affecting your drop out problem.  The latency control in Audition is effectively controlling the buffer size--and having a larger buffer (which increases latency) also gives you playback more protection against glitches when your computer gets busy doing something else.  So...the first thing to try is increasing the latency/buffer size on the Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware menu.
    Another thing to check is that you're using the latest drivers from Mackie--check their site and download/install the latest if there are some available.  If there's a choice, go for ASIO drivers rather than MME if there are some available.
    Also, I mentioned your computer getting busy with other things--for serious sound work shut down everything else on your computer.  Pay special attention to networking, wifi, and anti virus software, all of which are usualy prioritised to grab processor cycles over your sound work.  Also make sure you shut down all system sounds.
    Hope at least one of these suggestions works for you.

  • How to line out laptop to sound board

    These newer laptops have no line out. What is the best way to connect a laptop to a sound board ? We need to be able to get sound from the computer through the sound board out to the main speakers? Will a USB interface work? The headphone jack would produce poor sound quality I am thinking..

    Hi,
    I think not really true, they all have at least one output for headphones which can be treated as line out. If your laptop had HDMI you can get sound from there too.

  • Line out missing from Sound Output. How can I restore it?

    2009 iMac, external speakers connected to analog audio out. No longer work. System Preferences - Sound - Sound Output only shows built-in speakers. Tried zapping PRAM, tried deleting com.apple.sound.plist from /Library/Preferences. Doesn't show in Audio MIDI Setup either.

    Try smc reset.

  • Sound card to home stereo speak

    Right now I have my home stereo speakers hooked up by using the line out on my sound card going into the stereo receiver. I would like to eliminate the receiver and have my pc connected right to my stereo speakers. How can I do this? I dont think that the sound card has enough power to dri've the speakers. Is there a Creative product out there that will do what I am trying to do? If so what is it, I would like to buy it.

    You must have a power?amplifier between equipment providing a line-level output, such as a soundcard, and the speakers. Speakers draw high currents and line-level output just won't work. Creative don't make separate amplifiers, they are incorporated into their speaker systems. If you want to save space then you could get one of the 2. speaker systems, but if you want quality, then hi-fi speakers and a nice power amp will be the best option.

  • Possible to use both optical out AND regular line out at the same time?

    I currently have my computer speakers (logitech z560) hooked up to the mac pro via regular stereo jack in the back. I have an extra receiver that I would love to hook in to supply me with some needed sound for movie watching and what-not.. Is there a way to enable both line out - digital and line out at the same time?

    You can set DVD Player's "Audio output" to "Digital Out" in its "Disc Setup" preference, while other applications use Line Out.
    You could use a splitter on Line Out to feed your current speakers, and analog Line In on your receiver. When you want sound to both systems, set the receiver to Line In. When you want to watch DVDs, set it to Digital In. This will give you surround sound if the DVD has multichannel sound, and the receiver supports more than two channels.
    If you really want the same output on the Mac Pro Line Out, and Digital Out, you can use the "Auxiliary Device Output" effect in Audio Hijack Pro
    <http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/>
    It will not support more than two-channel audio.

  • Sound Card with 2 audio lines IN/

    About to build new computer which will contain a large 'Jukebox'. To run through my home theater and receive inputs from my tape player & vinyl record player I need left & right lines in & out. Most sound cards have only one line in & out. What is best option to handle this?

    This site (http://harness.gadgetscope.com/view/XFIH-002) sells a cable for this purpose that will work with any SB card with the ten pin white connector on it. Bit expensi've but should do the trick.

  • No signal from audigy 2zs line out j

    Hey there....due to a virus, I recently had to format my dri've and reinstall XP and all my apps including software for my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard. Before the format I had my sound and video card connect to my TV to extend my PC display and audio to my home entertainment system. The external speakers were connected through the line out # jack on the rear of the sound card and I could hear everything playing just fine when my TV was on and the correct video signal line input was selected (video #2 in my case), but now I can't hear anything (video is playing back fine on the TV, just with no sound). I've checked my audio settings and I think they're correct - if there is a mute switch for any of the line out jacks in the creative audigy software or in windows' volume control panel I sure can't find it.
    I'm sure its a settings thing because I didn't touch the cable connections, and I double checked to ensure they are all connected tightly/correctly as they were before the reinstall.
    If anybody has any pointers, man that would be helpful....thanks!

    Yup, my digital speakers are connected through the digital out jack.
    Device manager shows the device working correctly - no issues or exclamation marks.
    Not one ioda of hardware was moved, not one cable unplugged or any other config changed before or after the re-formatting of the hard dri've. Software o/s and applications only.
    The soundblaster card properties in device manager shows no conflicts....everything is working fine, but there is a setting somewhere that is being missed I suspect; I have gone ever every option in all of the soundblaster audigy audio control software installed that came bundled with the card, checked online for latest drivers which I've got installed, and did a clean uninstall/reinstall using creative's 6 step-by-step guide. I also checked all windows xp based audio controls even though I've checked the option that enables the audigy controls to sync with the windows ones as you probably already know.
    To my knowledge, there is no way to disable line out signal from this card - its there, you plug in your external and go. And with no config changes at all, no hardware changes, no cables unplugged etc. I don't know what else to do. (except email creative support which I did a few minutes ago).
    Thanks Katman.

  • Feedback from the tv back through my sound card

    I have a macbook pro I7. I hook up the tvs through VGA I get feedback from the tv back through both my internal and my external sound card. It is a loud low hum and you can see the lines running through the tv. I have the same problem with or with out the exteral sound card. When I hook up my PC to the TV it works fine and no problems. Also if I just hook up a second monitor it works fine. As soon as I unplug the vga adapter all the feedback stops. any ideas?

    Connect your iPad to iTunes, go to the TV Shows tab of your iTunes sync settings, uncheck the ones you no longer want on your iPad and sync to remove them.

    Hi Sirgiu
    Just to let you know that you are not alone in this dilemma, I too have spent all day today with the same problem. I was going to reformat and do a total install, but gave up at the last moment. I did manage to get some of the software working by using the Audio folder on the CD and installing what's needed.Some of the programs sort of worked like wave studio and recorder, but the mixer (being the main part) would not work. Also when the diagnostic program is run, it says there is a hardware error although the sound works through front left and right speakers. I am lost as to why there would be sound yet the message says:
    Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio Card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program. Setup will now exit.
    If you find an answer to the problem or if anyone knows of a solution please post.

  • No output from line out 1 and 3, audig

    A while ago, I observed no sound coming from several speakers in our 5. sound system. 2 of the speakers provide sound. Also running windows xp and audigy 4.
    I followed the trouble shooting guide using headphones and have no sound card ouput from lines and 3. Line 2 provides output.
    We are using a 5. speaker system and individually plugged each of the 3 lines from the speaker system into line 2 out from the sound card and all the speakers sound good.
    uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers 5.2.6.6?
    The troubleshooting guide mentions a "digital only output" toggle under the volume advanced tab. I searched the sound and audio device properties utility from top to bottom but can't find the toggle.
    I am not sure what to do regarding further troubleshooting. Please advise.
    Regards,
    Jer?

    Never mind: focus was on the wrong computer on the KVM.
