Encrypted SD Card / Double Encryption

Dear all,
I've problem with my Q5 after changing my SD Card.
So my previous SD Card was full and I decided to buy a new one. To copy all the files I placed the old card in my laptop and inserted the new one on my BB and plug it via USB to my PC. Then I copied the files from the old SD card to the new (via usb/BB Link).
In the process I also upgraded firmware from 10.2 to 10.3.
My BB is encrypted with device+password.
Result: can't read 5 years of pictures an videos (I've been moving the old SD Card from previous BB).
What I think the problem is: the files in the 'old sd card' where encrypted and as I copied them from my PC to the BB they where re-encrypted making them unreadable.
So any clues to solve this problem are most welcome.
Regards,

I'm not sure. I think you should be able to do what you did, but I haven't done it that way, so I'm not sure.
What I do is use Link to copy files to the computer. Files are decrypted when copied to the computer. Then I put the new memory card in the BlackBerry and use Link to copy the files back to the device. The device encrypts the files.
What I would do if I were you is put the old card back in the device and do what I describe. It will probably take a while. Balance that against the time you will spend trying to figure out why what you're doing isn't working.
And by the way, you say you have encryption set to device +password. On BBOS there was a setting to use device key, password, or both. That setting is not on BB10, so I wonder what you mean. And FYI, there is a key on the device. If you wipe the device you won't be able to read the encrypted card. I imagine a destructive OS install will have the same result.

  • Gift Card double charged.

    I did an order on a $100 gift card with order number {removed per forum guidelines}. It came to 24.55. Instead of the balance after that order being 75.45, it was 50.90. Exactly twice the cost of the order was charged, or my order was charged twise, whatever happened. I contacted the e-gift card people and they told me they could do nothing about it. Please let me know what is going on and why I was charged 200% for this order.

    Hello KAKA54,
    I enjoy buying things, but I definitely wouldn’t enjoy getting double charged! That is very strange! Thanks for bringing this to our attention and I would be more than happy to look into this for you.
    I will be sending you a private message to collect some more details from you about your order via private message. To check your private messages, click on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner while you’re logged into the forums.

  • In Card Production Guide v.2.04

    hem....
    Chapter 2.3.2 is Sysmmetric Key Derivation...
    There is the derivation algorithm
    Key(M) = (K1 | K2)
    Encipher is a triple DES operation on a double length key such as
    result = encipher(k1)[decipher(k2){enciphser(k1) [8 bytes of "Test"}]
    Key(D) = (KA | KB)
    KA = Encipher(Key(M)["text" = first 8 bytes of derivation data]
    KB = Encipher(Key(M)["text" = second 8 bytes of derivation data]
    Key(D) : card unique double length DES derived key
    Key(M) : off-card double length DES Master key
    My Question is "result"
    "Result" is Derivation data that was encrypt by triple DES
    so.. "text " is Derivation data that I don't know What algorism was used
    "Result" equals "text"?
    One more Question, follow the derivation algorithm... finally...
    For Make Key(D), use 2times encrypt algorithm? (One used that make
    Key(M) and another used(Key(D))
    My opinion is right?
    please advice...

    It would be useful to provide specifics on the issues. This is too vague to be of much use to those of us trying to assist.

  • Can Audigy 2 double as a firewire ca

    I have an Audigy 2 card with a firewire port. Can this card double as a firewire card to connect a digital video camera or will I need a separate firewire card? Thanks in advance, ncsumdMessage Edited by ncsumd on -30-20062:53 PM

    You should see the IEEE394 device listed in Device Manager
    --> if it's there you should be able to use the firewire port even the sound card is disabled there.
    IIRC, it's not very good controller but should work well in this situation.

  • Big trouble when changing graphics card on Envy desktop.

    My Envy H8-1419 uses the Eyefinity Radeon HD 7570 card. I want to use a Zotac GeForce GTX 650 Ti card (double slot). The card fits physically without difficulty but there is no display on boot (machine beeps, monitor says "no signal"). Desktop seems to meet all requirements re power and system specs. Does something in BIOS need to be reset? Anything else?
    This question was solved.

    Hi:
    You have to change two BIOS settings on your PC when you plan to install a non-HP video card.
    After you read the below info, hopefully your current big trouble will only be a distant memory.

    I just went through this same process.... I changed my credit card, double checked billing info, changed my password, I restored my phone, but the misake I made was I kept restoring it from my back up.... Finally I went to Apple Store.. and sad to say that you have to do a restore, and DO NOT restore from back up.
    I used Gmail so I didnt loose contacts or email.. but I did loose all my text messages and history of that.
    So, I had the EXACT same problem and it was a software issue.. you have to restore your phone to factory settings and start all over.. BLOWS I know!

  • Why is the 15" powerbook no longer available?

    Assuming the plan is to discontinue making them - Are they just the first to clear out of Apple's inventory?
    I do see they are still available thru Amazon and the like.
    Perhaps a new configuration will appear next month at Apple's 30th Anniversary? Perhaps they figured out how to cool down a G5 Powerbook?
    In any case, if ya know why the 15" is no more on the Apple site I'd appreciate yer heads up. Much thanx.

    I too decided against the MBP. The "old" PB is plenty fast for my needs, but it also let me keep my array of power adapters, PCMCIA cards, Double Layer DVDs, 60 extra vertical pixels, modem, Firewire 800, cases, adapters, covers, etc. All my $$$ of software is PPC native. All told, going with the PB1.67g actually saved me over $1000 in new gear. If you ever feel regret for not getting the latest PB, post back here and I'll help you through it.
    I just realized I have owned the Powerbook G4 "bookends": the 400mhz Titanium and the 1.67ghz Aluminum. Five gears of the G4 portables was a pretty good run. I wonder what we'll have in another 5 years?

  • CC & Dual GPU

    My new build is running a GTX570oc , I can pickup a 660ti for $200 to add.
    I know sli was unsupported a while back, but what's the workings of CC and its dual GPU support ?
    Will it utilize both cards and unlike sli doesn't matter if they are a matching pair ?
    The 660 has 2.5 times the cuda cores at a fraction slower bandwidth so I think ill get some good results.
    Does dual GPU in CC require much setup/tinkering and does it just use both, or make a primary and secondary ?
    Thanks
    Troy

    Troy,
    Dual GPU in CC is trivial to set up and requires no tinkering for the additional card. Of course, this assumes that you have enough power supply, PCIex16 slots, MPE hack, and cooling for the additional card(s). You do not need to SLI the cards to get the benefits in Premiere Pro. I did read on this forum that it works with mis-matched GPUs, but I've only seen that verified for cards using a common driver. As you probably know, the two cards that you mention do share a common driver from nVidia.
    You need to ask yourself why are you doing this though? For most rigs, I would expect that with a single decent GTX video card already in place that the only speed gain would be for DVD renders. For most other work flows, other items in the PC would be the limiting resource (CPU power, drive speed, etc.). On the other hand, if you are constantly doing DVD exports for high-def media, then the increased number of cuda cores will make your world so much better.
    See the following post regarding for my test results on a dual GTX Titan setup where adding a second video card doubled DVD exports, but left pretty much all others performance areas completely unchanged:

  • I want to know critics about Layout Mode

    Hi,
    I want to know critics of Layout Mode feature in DW. Seems
    like a wonder tool to me, and apparently solves many of the
    problems i had when laying out pages, all you have to do is drag
    and drop tables or cells here and there and add content to them!
    Is there any disadvantage or inconvenience with this
    approach? Why isn't it the typical workflow in town (CSS seems to
    be the dominant approach, despite obvious more steps and workforce
    than layout mode).
    Thank you in advance for your opinions, i appreciate.

    Hello,
    If the web were static like print media, layout mode would be
    fine.
    In many graphics applications like Photoshop, you can drag
    elements (layers)
    around until you get your design exactly how you want it.
    Then, you simply save your design in whatever image format
    you'd like. All
    of the layers are merged into one, static image,
    All of the parts have merged into one element, no longer the
    multiple parts
    you were dragging around.
    When a user sees your image, either on a piece of paper or on
    their computer
    screen, it looks the same to everyone.
    Overall, it might be bigger or smaller in whole dependant on
    print size or
    monitor resolution, but the layout itself can't change.
    A web page, unless the page is one giant image, remains
    multiple parts after
    you publish it and some of these parts the user can change,
    such as text
    size.
    Any area of your design with text in it will look different
    on their screens
    than on yours, but the images won't change size.
    This is how the web works, and this is where layout mode
    fails.
    As you drag things around in layout mode, DW writes code to
    try to keep the
    elements exactly where you want them in relation to other
    objects.
    It merges cells which fills the code with colspans and
    rowspans, and it adds
    spacer images by the tens or hundreds in an effort to keep
    everything "stuck
    together" exactly where you dropped the elements.
    The more things your drag and drop, the more complex the
    code.
    When you are done, your layout looks like you want it to on
    your screen but
    behind it is code that is very fragile and cumbersome.
    With this code, if any part of your layout changes size in
    someone's browser
    (like a text area), everything else in the layout that is so
    tightly tied to
    it
    will be affected as well.
    This usually results in things shifting and not lining up any
    more, the page
    "breaking" and filling up with gaps and misalignments
    throughout the page.
    The one change ripples throughout the whole page, because
    every element is
    so tightly connected by the code Layout Mode wrote.
    In essence, Layout Mode wrote such stringent and unforgiving
    code that your
    design will only work reliably at 1 text size and 1 browser
    viewport size.
    Those sizes are the sizes your browser was set at when you
    designed the
    page.
    Think of it this way.
    You have 100 playing cards and you lay them out on a table in
    10 rows of 10
    columns each.
    You make sure all of the edges are touching.
    It's a nice, tight layout.
    On one of the cards in the center, you write some words in
    marker.
    If you saved this as an image, it would look the same to
    everyone.
    A hundred cards with all the edges touching and text written
    on one of them.
    If someone enlarges the image to read the text on the single
    card, all the
    other cards grow equally and the layout looks exactly the
    same, only bigger.
    However, if you saved this as a website and someone enlarges
    the text to
    read it, only the card with the text gets bigger.
    All the others stay the same size. But you wanted all the
    edges touching.
    You'd like to keep as many cards as neatly arranged as
    possible, but layout
    mode doesn't care about that.
    It's trying to keep every card edge touching, just like you
    did when you
    dragged and dropped them..
    What happens to the neat rows and columns of cards if the
    single card with
    text on it doubles in size?
    Cards all around it move and nothing lines up anymore. Gaps
    appear between
    every card.
    Changing the size of that one piece of the layout ripples
    through the rest
    of the page because of that really complex, cumbersome code
    Layout Mode
    wrote. It really wants to keep everything just like you
    wanted it, all the
    edges touching and it doesn't care what the layout looks
    like.
    If you had used standard mode instead of layout mode, the
    page would be
    dynamic in that the elements (the cards) can freely flow in a
    logical manner
    under different user's settings.
    When this single card doubles in size, the group of cards
    above wouldn't be
    affected. They would stay neatly arranged in rows with all
    their edges
    touching as would the group of cards below the enlarged card.
    You'd keep a nice, neat layout of cards with just one row of
    cards in the
    center taller than the other rows because of the single
    bigger card.
    Instead of being filled with gaps and misalignments all over
    the place that
    Layout Mode's code caused, the page would still look good.
    Layout Mode wrote such bad code as it tried to keep a layout
    static in a
    dynamic environment, that it has been removed from
    Dreamweaver.
    Here's more very good info, including a graphic example of a
    common problem
    Layout Mode creates for the unsuspecting....
    http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
    There's something arguably as bad as layout mode you should
    also stay way
    from.
    They, too, offer the ease of drag and drop but at a huge
    price when you
    realize all the troubles and then have to completely rebuild
    your site.
    Please read this:

    Check with your credit card company and/or agreement.
    Some of the better Gold and Platinum Cards double

  • Ejecting a CD/DVD issues, I've tried everything.

    I put in a DVD I planned to watch last night, but when the disc went in, nothing showed up on my desktop. So I tried ejecting it several times with just the eject key on the keyboard. It didn't work. So I tried everything they listed, plus a few techniques like option-command-. that I saw on the boards here. Nothing has worked and I'm afraid I even tried the credit card/double sided tape manual redneck trick I saw someone say on here. It didn't work because I'm so afraid of ruining my drive forever.
    Is there any way to get the freaking dvd out?
    Best part is it's my brother's friend's movie... and I don't even care any more, I just want the dumb thing out of my baby.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
    4. Press COMMAND-E.
    5. If none of the above work try this:
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
    /usr/bin/drutil eject.
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info

    I have noticed that many people have problems using their digital connections, so I put together this info to try and explain the difference between digital and analogue, and how to use them.
    Digital ConnectionsDigital connections come in two standard forms, optical and coax. They both give you exactly the same result, the only difference is the medium (material) through which the signal travels. The thing to remember about digital is that for ordinary, uncompressed sound, it will only carry a stereo signal. So, if you like to use CMSS with your music, or you try the speaker test function, optical/coax is useless as you only hear the front left/right speakers.
    Movies wth Dolby Digital (AC3) & DTSMovies on DVD often use encoded audio in the form of Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS. This means that all 6 channels are compressed into a single stream of digital data. A decoder is required to extract the channels and send the sound to the correct speakers. There are three ways to do this.
    ) Pass the AC3/DTS signal to a external decoder. This is where your optical/coax connection is used. To go down this route, you must first have a set of speakers or a decoder that supports Dolby Digital. In your DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and 'SPDIF Pass-through' in your soundcard options. What this does is tells both the software and soundcard to leave the audio from the DVD in compressed form and send it straight through the digital outputs. Your digital speakers/receiver will do all the decoding to give you full surround sound. Please note that this is the only way to get 6 channels through an optical/coax cable.
    2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster.You should choose this option if you don't have an external decoder. In the DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the souncard options is off. The DVD software will now pass the compressed audio to your soundcard, which will then decode the data. The soundcard will output the 6 channels using the analogue connections (or digital DIN, more on this later). If you try to use a digital optical/coax connection to your speakers, you will only hear faint sounds from the front left/right speakers.
    3) Decode the AC3/DTS with software.If you have a soundcard that doesn't support Dolby Digital (like the SB Li've! 24-bit) and you don't have digital speakers, the only way for you to get surround sound in movies is to use software to decode the AC3/DTS. The free versions of DVD software you get with hardware often don't support this feature, you will most likely need a full version. First select 'Dolby Digital' or 'DTS' decoding in the DVD software audio options (you must select the right sound format for the movie you are watching). Then make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the soundcard options is off. As with method (2) you must connect your speakers with the 3 analogue cables, not optical/coax.
    PC GamesPC games usually use technologies like as EAX to create surround sound, not Dolby Digital. So even if your speaker system has a Dolby Digital decoder, it will be of no use when playing games. The EAX processing is done on the soundcard, and the 6-channel sound is output via the analogue (or digital DIN if available). So you still need analogue connections to your digital speakers for games, if you just use an optical/coax cable you will only get the front left/right sound.(N.B. X-Box games do support Dolby Digital, so if you connect your X-Box to your Dolby Digital receiver/speakers with the optical cable, you can get full surround sound.)
    Creative's 4-pole mini-jack & Digital DINYou can only get the full use out of this connection when used between Creative Sound Blasters and compatible Creative speaker systems. It is the digital equivalent of the analogue connections, but instead of using 3 stereo sockets, you use just one digital socket. There are 4 conducting connections in the socket (unlike coax which has two) so there are enough connections to carry 3 different digital stereo signals (front R/L, rear R/L and Sub/Centre). You will probably require a 4-pole mini-jack > DIN converter to connect your Creative speakers to this socket. Using this connection will allow you to get surround from games (unlike SPDIF). However the digital DIN input on some Creative speakers can't receive AC3/DTS data, so you may still require an optical/coax connection.
    N.B. This digital socket on the Sound Blaster cards doubles as the digital coax output. If you don't have digital DIN, you can use a mono or stereo mini-jack > RCA converter to connect to the coax input on your speakers, as the front R/L or AC3/DTS signals are sent through the tip of the plug.

    Der Digitale Anschluß
    Ich habe beobachtet, daß viele Leute Fragen zu den Sound-Anschlüssen haben, daher trage ich hier einige Infos zusammen und erkläre die Unterschiede in der Verwendung der digitalen und analogen Anschlüsse.
    Digitale Anschlüsse – S-PDIF & Toslink
    Am PC gibt es zwei häufig verwendete digitale Anschlußformate optisch (Toslink) und koaxial (S-PDIF).
    Im Prinzip erzielen beide Anschlüsse genau das gleiche Audio-Ergebnis.
    Der primäre Unterschied ist das Medium ( das Material ) durch das das Signal übertragen wird. ( Glasfaser oder Kupfer )
    !! Update !!
    Ein wichtiger Aspekt in der Auswahl von digital-optischen Anschlüssen erklärt sich durch das Vermeiden einer sogenannten „Brummschleife“, d.h. eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zweier Geräte muß vermieden werden.
    ( mit Lichtwellenleiter - LWL- z.B. mit dem Anschluß-System Toslink )
    In der Elektrotechnik ( Niedervolttechnik ) wird oft der „Negative“ Pol der Spannungsversorgung über das elektrisch leitende Gehäuse ( die sogenannte Masse )geführt. Das spart einerseits einen weiteren Kabelweg ( also Kupfer ) ein und ergibt eine mehr oder weniger wirksame (Ab-) Schirmung. Diese Schirmung soll die elektronische Schaltung vor elektromagnetischen, hochfrequenten und niederfrequenten Störeinflüssen je nach Ausführung der Schirmung schützen.
    Üblicherweise besitzt jedes elektronische Gerät eine eigene Spannungsversorgung. Netzteile in elektronischen Geräten unterscheiden sich in der Art der Spannungsumformung, in der Höhe der Spannung, in der zur Verfügung gestellten Leistung, durch verschiedene Bauarten und unterschiedliche Bauteil-Tolleranzen entstehen somit verschiedenste Masse-Potentiale.
    Werden solche Geräte durch elektrisch leitende Kabel verbunden, kommt es zu einem Ausgleich der verschiedenen Masse-Potentiale. Ein negatives Ergebnis der Verbindung von TV-Geräten oder PC-Komponenten mit Audio-Komponenten ist oft eine hörbare Beeinträchtigung von Audio-Signalen - ein tieffrequentes Brummen.( auch Brummschleife oder Masseschleife genannt )
    Hierfür verantwortlich zu machen ist eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung. In der HiFi-Technik ist das in der Regel ein Koaxialkabel und dessen Schirmung.
    Vermeidung u. Reduzierung dieser Störgeräusche Ansätze
    !! Der einfache Weg !!
    Einsatz einer optischen Signal- / Datenübertragung mit Lichtwellenleiter
    - Glasfaser als Trägermaterial
    ( Einsatz einer Datenübertragung ohne elektrisch leitende Verbindungen )
    aufwendige Wege
    Einsatz einer Galvanischen Trennung - mit einem Ground-Isolator
    (Massetrennung )
    + die elektrische Verbindung der Schirmung wird umgangen
    - aber Leistungs- & und Klangverlust(geringere Dynamik)
    - Verwendung von ( hochwertigen ) symmetrischen Verbindungen
    ( „PLUS“ „MINUS“ „Masse“)
    + Trennung der Schirmung an einer „Seite“ des Kabels möglich
    [bei Koaxialkabel unsinnig weil eine Ader zerstört wird und
    anschließend dieses Kabel wertlos ist ]
    - sehr große Anschlüsse
    - Profibereich
    - Einsatz einer zentralen Spannungsversorgung für alle miteinander
    verbundenen Geräte
    Nachtrag
    Bitte nicht verwechseln mit Netzbrummen - die Einstreuung der Netzfrequenz 50 Hz ( EU ) oder 60 Hz ( US ) in den Audio-Signalweg das ist üblicherweise auf eine nicht ausreichende Entstörung oder(Ab-)Schirmung zurückzuführen ist.
    - End - !! Update !!
    Einige Vorbetrachtungen
    Die traditionelle Ton-Übertragung ist ein unkomprimiertes Signal, es wird in Stereo übertragen.
    Wenn du CMSS ( Creative Multi Speaker Surround simulierten Surround Sound ) aus deiner Stereo-Musik erzeugen willst oder der Sprach-Test abgerufen wird ( nur über den Center ) ist der digitale Anschluß ( optisch & koaxial ) unbrauchbar, denn es würden nur die Lautsprecher Front-Rechts und Front-Links angesprochen !! Es wird ein anderer Anschluß benötigt, der die Kanäle einzeln ansteuert.
    Für das Format 5.1 ist das die Verbindung über die drei 3,5 mm Klinken-Stecker ( 3 mal 2 Kanäle ) mit der folgenden
    Kanalzuweisung 5.1
    Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
    Mehrkanalton in Filmen - DolbyDigital (AC3 / DD) oder DTS
    Filme auf DVD verwenden häufig ein kodiertes Mehrkanal-Audiosignal, in der Form DolbyDigital ( AC3 / DD ) oder DTS. Bei dem gebräuchlichsten Format 5.1 werden 6 Signale ( 3 mal 2 Kanäle ) in einem digitalen Datenstrom zusammengefaßt und komprimiert = das Kodieren.
    Nach der Übertragung des Signals muß aus diesem Datenstrom ein Decoder die entsprechenden Töne trennen und jedem Kanal zuordnen = das Dekodieren.
    Drei Varianten der Decodierung sind möglich.
    (1) - AC3 / DTS Signal wird zu einem externen Decoder geführt
    Genau hier wird der optische / koaxiale Anschluß genutzt. Um diese Variante nutzen zu können, mußt du ein digitales Lautsprecher-Set oder einen Digital-Decoder ( z.B: Digital-Receiver ) besitzen, der die Dekodierung des gewünschten Formats ( DD, AC3, DTS) übernimmt. Für jedes Digital-Format benötigt man einen entsprechenden Decoder – das Handbuch weiß hier oft mehr – welches Format von welchem Gerät dekodiert werden kann !!
    Wähle in deiner DVD-Software den zur digitalen Datenübertragung gewünschten Anschluß "S-PDIF"( Koaxial ) oder "Optisch" als Audio-Ausgang.
    In den Soundkarten-Einstellungen muß die Option "S-PDIF-Durchschleifen" ( "SPDIF Pass-through" ) eingestellt werden.
    Dadurch wird das Audio-Signal von der DVD in digitaler ( komprimierter ) Form direkt an die Digital-Ausgänge der Soundkarte weitergeleitet. Anschließend kann ein angeschlossener externer Decoder z.B. im digitalen Lautsprecher-System oder im Digital-Receiver die Decodierung übernehmen und es entsteht ein „Räumliches Klangbild“.
    Bitte merken:
    Daß ist der einzige Weg 5.1 Signale ( digital ) über ein koaxiales bzw. optisches Kabel zu übertragen.
    (2) - AC3 / DTS mit der Soundkarte decodieren
    Diese Variante ist zu verwenden, wenn du keinen externen Decoder / Receiver verwenden willst.
    In der DVD-Software wird "S-PDIF" als Audio-Ausgang gewählt und es muß zwingend in den Optionen der Soundkarte "S-PDIF-Durchschleifen" ( "SPDIF Pass-through" ) deaktiviert werden.
    Die DVD-Software wird jetzt das ( digitale ) komprimierte Audio-Signal an deine Soundkarte senden und dann werden dort die digitalen Daten decodiert. Die Soundkarte gibt dann die 6 Audio-Kanäle ( bei 5.1 ) über ihre drei analogen Anschlüsse aus ( 3 mal 3,5 mm Klinke ) mit folgender
    Kanalzuweisung 5.1
    Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
    Es wird in diesem Beispiel also ein 5.1-Lautsprecher-System benötigt, mit der analogen Anschluß-Option von drei Klinken-Steckern.
    ( also 3 x 2 Kanäle = 3 mal 3,5 mm Klinke )
    - die Einspeisung eines digitalen Signals über DigitalDIN, ist mit dem optionalen digitalen E/A-Modulbei möglich ***
    - wird hier ein optisches / koaxiales Kabel verwendest, hörst du nur schwache Töne der Front-Lautsprecher R + L
    *** Bei Karten der SB073X-Serie verfügt diese Buchse nicht über die Digital-In-Funktion !! zur Unterstützung des digitalen E/A-Moduls )
    [ mehr unten ]
    (3) - AC3 / DTS mit einer Software decodieren
    Wenn deine Soundkarte kein DolbyDigital unterstützt
    ( wie die SB Live! 24-bit ) und auch kein digitales Lautsprecher-System vorhanden ist, kannst du Raumklang
    (Surrsound-Sound ) aus DV-Filmen auch über eine AC3 / DTS fähige Software erzeugen.
    Gratis-DVD-Software-Versionen unterstützen diese Funktion häufig nicht, du benötigst dann eine Software-Voll-Version.
    Wähle die gewünschte digitale Audio-Tonspur „DolbyDigital“ oder „DTS“, im Audio-Menü einer DVD.
    Dann stelle sicher, das in den Soundkarten-Optionen "S-PDIF-Durchschleifen"
    ( "SPDIF Pass-through" ) ausgeschaltet ist.
    Wie unter (2) mußt du deine Lautsprecher mit den drei analogen Kabeln anschließen und nicht optisch oder koaxial !! ( 3 mal 3,5 Klinke )
    Kanalzuweisung 5.1
    Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
    Generell sind bei zuvor genannten Varianten (1) – (3) auch andere mehrkanalige
    Wiedergabeformate möglich.
    In Abhängigkeit von der Ausstattung der Quelle also von der DVD. der CD. der TV-Karte, dem Game usw. sind andere Formate z.B. 2.0 / 2.1 / 4.0 / 4.1 / 5.1 / 7.1-Kanal Wiedergabe möglich.
    PC Spiele
    PC Spiele nutzen normalerweise Technologien wie EAX, die ihren eigenen Surround-Sound, ohne Verwendung von DolbyDigital erzeugen. Selbst wenn dein Lautsprecher-System einen DolbyDigital-Decoder besitzt, ist dieser für Games unbrauchbar. Denn die EAX Verarbeitung findet direkt auf der Soundkarte statt und die Ausgabe der 6 Kanäle ( 5.1 ) erfolgt über die analogen Ausgänge
    ( 3 mal 3,5 mm Klinke ) ( oder über DigitalDIN, wenn vorhanden *** ).
    *** Bei Karten der SB073X-Serie verfügt diese Buchse nicht über die Digital-In-Funktion !! zur Unterstützung des digitalen E/A-Moduls ) [ mehr unten ]
    Kanalzuweisung 5.1
    Front R / Front L + Rear R + Rear L + Subwoofer / Center
    Für Mehrkanalwiedergabe in Spielen benötigst du also Lautsprecher-Systeme mit analogen Anschlüssen oder einen Digital-Receiver mit analogem ( 5.1 ) Eingang.
    Wenn du ein optisches / koaxiales Kabel verwendest, dann kannst du nur die vorderen Kanäle ( links / rechts ) hören.
    !!! Notiz !!!
    X-Box Spiele unterstützen DolbyDigital, wenn du deine X-Box mit einem DolbyDigital-Receiver oder einem digitalen Lautsprecher-System über optische Kabel verbindest, kannst du den vollen Surround Sound nutzen.
    Die Sound Blaster Karten der SB073X-Serie bieten neben dem digitalen ( koaxial / extern ) Anschluß über den Anschluss Flexi-Jack auch noch einen weiteren Anschluß, direkt auf der Karte ( koaxial / intern )
    Flexi-Jack - DigitalDIN
    Wenn du kein digitales E/A-Modul ( Digital I/O-Modul ) benutzen kannst, ist es möglich mit einem Klinke-Chinch Adapter ( RCA-Adapter ), ein digitales Lautsprecher-System oder einen Digital-Receiver digital ( koaxial ) über den Flexi-Jack-Ausgang der Soundkarte zu verbinden. Alle MiniDin bzw. 3,5 mm Klinken-Stecker können in der Mono- oder auch in der Stereo-Ausführung verwendet werden, denn der mittlere / vordere Pin des 3,5 mm Klinken-Steckers überträgt das AC3 / DTS Signal. Dazu benötigt man eine der folgenden Verbindungen
    3,5 mm Klinke ( Mini DIN ) auf Chinch - Adapter ( RCA-Adapter )
    für den S-PDIF-Anschluß( koaxial ) an Lautsprecher-Systeme mit digitalem Eingang bzw. Digital-Receiver kann man folgende Varianten verwenden
    - Klinke-Mono - Chinch-Stecker ( Stecker –Stecker ) ( Favorit !! )
    - Klinke-Mono auf Chinch-Mono ( Stecker - Kupplung ) + Chinch-Verbindungkabel
    ( Stecker - Stecker )
    - Klinke-Stereo auf Chinch-Mono ( Stecker - Kupplung ) + Chinch-Verbindungkabel
    ( Stecker - Stecker )
    Das digitale E/A-Modul ( Digital I/O – Modul )
    Die Verwendung von optionalem Zubehör Digitales E/A-Modul ( Digital I/O-Modul ) bietet die Möglichkeit der direkten Verwendung eines S-PDIF Verbindungskabels und stellt zusätzlich zum koaxialen Anschluß einen optischen Anschluß ( Toslink ) bereit. Die optische Verbindung kann wie oben beschrieben zur Vermeidung einer Brummschleife hilfreich sein.
    Des weiteren wird ( abhängig von der Ausstattung der Soundkarte *** ) ein digitaler Eingang über das E/A-Modul bereitgestellt, der Eingang ist ebenso wie der Ausgang in optischer ( Toslink ) und koaxialer ( S-PDIF ) Bauform ausgeführt.
    Achtung !!
    ( *** Bei Karten der SB073X-Serie verfügt diese Buchse nicht über die Digital-In-Funktion !! zur Unterstützung des digitalen E/A-Moduls )
    interner S-PDIF E/A-Anschluss ( für Geräte der SB073X-Serie )
    zum Anschluß einer Decoderkarte oder externer Decoder bzw. Lautsprechersysteme mit digitalem Eingang ist ein entsprechender Adapter erforderlich
    Bei einigen Modellen ist eine Dekoderkarte im Lieferumfang enthalten bzw. in einigen Regionen als Zubehör erhältlich
    Front Panel-Sockel (für Geräte der SB073X-Serie)
    2 x 5-poliger Front Panel-Sockel nur für Verbindungen mit einem Intel HD Front Panel Audio-Standardsockel (nur Geräte der SB073X-Serie) Intel Front Panel Audio-Kabels (separat erhältlich)
    Anschlusskompatibilität
    Ausschließlich Intel HD Front Panel Audio-Standard
    Nicht kompatibel mit AC97 oder Intel-kompatiblem HD Front Panel Audio
    Einschränkungen
    Wenn neben den hinteren Mikrofonen auch Frontmikrofone angeschlossen sind, werden die hinteren Mikrofone automatisch deaktiviert.
    Sound Blaster X-Fi E/A-Konsole
    Auf der Rückseite Ihrer X-Fi-E/A-Konsole* befindet sich eine sogenannte DIN-Buchse. Um die Funktionen für eine integrierte Lautsprechersteuerung zu nutzen, können Sie an diese Buchse ausgewählte analoge Creative-Lautsprechersysteme anschließen, die über eine Kabelfernbedienung oder eine Audiokonsole verfügen.
    So können Sie beispielsweise über den Master-Lautstärkeregler Ihrer X-Fi-E/A-Konsole die Lautstärke der Lautsprecher regeln oder die Lautsprecher stummschalten.
