FAO Logitech Z5500 Users. Advice Need

Hi,
I got an X-Fi Xtreme Music last December but my current speakers (Boston BA7500) have never worked fully with it (no sound from rear speakers). I have decided after months of contact with Creative Tech Support to just get a new set as everything I have tried so far has not worked.
I have decided to go for a new set of Logitech Z5500 speakers.
My question to anyone that uses these speakers is as follows;
Will I be able to use these speakers out of the box using the X-Fi's Digital I/O port and get full use out of all the speakers? Has anyone encountered issues with this setup on their PC?
Any help is welcome as I do not wish to spend almost ?300 on a new set of speakers only to experience the same issues as I have been having with my current pair.
Thanks in advance!

Digital connection won't get you 5. channel in games or in normal usage. You will only get 5. output when the source is actually a 5. encoded material such as Dolby Digital 5., DTS 5., etc... If the new speaker you're getting has 5. analog connection, I would suggest going with those instead of Digital.
There is a sticky thread at the top of the board that has information on Digital connection which you may be interested in.

Rogue Users: Advice Needed Urgently

Hello all,
I'll get right to it: I was checking out some of the lesser used (by me) software apps that come with tiger, and stumbled across Netinfo Manager.
Upon looking at the 'users' section, I found, along with my own login's and those of my family and friends for this computer, a worrying amount of other 'users'. Some I believe to be ok, such as 'xgridagent' and 'securityagent' etc, but a few I am sure are malicious: a user called 'clamav' for instance. The details of this user, as listed in netinfo manager, are as follows:
Password *
Uid 82
Expire 0
Home /var/virusmails
Gid 82
Shell /bin/tcsh
Name clamav user
Change 0
writerspasswd clamav
Please check the linked picture.
I am still relatively new with mac's since the switch, and honestly, I have been somewhat slack regarding the security of my machine, believing them to be infallible compared to my old windows comps: machines that I loaded with firewalls and virus software etc, kept a close eye on.
I would greatly appreciate some advice: what do I do with these users - the utility gives me the option to delete them: do I simply to this: and how did they infiltrate my workspace to begin with? What can I do to stop it? Firewall is on most of the time, although it will be on permanently now. I invite everyone to check their own netinfo manager for similar problems, although I hope it is simply a rookie error on my part...

New iMac and Logitech-z5500... need the right cable.

so I read on some forums that you need a optical cable and a mini plug adapter.
is this the right cable?

I want all of the speakers to work when I watch movies which supports 5.1 audio.

Yes, that should work fine.

Kontrol49 + LP7.1.1 Users: advice needed!

Good day good people.
Have someone managed to get a foot pedal to work with K49 & LP7?
I'm following the manual but nothing happens.
Also, anyone using the EXS24 "Scene"? The other AU "Scenes" work fine but the EXS24 is nonreactive in my system.
Greatful for advice,
Erik

Are you using the K49 in Native mode?
Or are you creating your own scenes?
If you are in Native mode, you cant customize anything, you can switch scenes to control various functions.
If you aren't in Native mode you can program the K49's footpedal to send any controller # you want.
If you look at the transport or use the monitor object you can see what controller is being output.
The K49 is a great controller, but there are some bugs.
No Mod wheel, mis-labeled control functions and a loss of connection, to name a few.

Need Audio Card Suggestions - Logitech z5500

Hi. I was using an M-Audio Revolution 5.1 to drive my Logitech z5500 speaker system... until 10.4.10 made the driver obsolete. I changed to the M-Audio delta 2496 midi card, only to discover same driver problems: kernel panics and, much less concerning, hard drive can't go to "sleep". At the moment I have no sound card and, consequently, cannot drive the speaker system.
Any suggestions for a card for my setup?
Thanks,
Paul

<$250 or less>
Any card in that price range runpmc, won't work on Mac's,
Sorry!
Surprise it a Sound-card would even be in that price range.
Unless its E-bay, even then i would'nt touch it,
with a very long stick.

SB Titanium HD + Logitech Z5500 No Sound at all, PLEASE HELP

SB Titanium HD + Logitech Z5500 No Sound at all, PLEASE HELP:Yesterday i replaced my SB X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Professional Serier 7. Sound Card which was working perfectly fine with the new Titanium HD, i did a fresh install of Windows 7 and deleted my partitions so started completely from scratch. Installed the drivers that it came with, had no sound at all. Updated the sound driver to the latest one 3.00.004 and still no sound. I'm using the optical cable for 5. as i have no choice so i thought as i wasn't using opitical before maybe it doesn't work but then when i uninstalled the creative drivers windows installed it's own driver and i all of a sudden had sound, but it must have been using the onboard sound on my motherboard. Then i tried installing the latest Creative driver first instead of the one from the CD provided and still no sound. I spent 6 hours trying everything i could think of, on Creative's website it mentioned trying to change the frequenzy sampling rate to match your speakers, well i went through all of them in the settings?and still no sound. I've even taken the sound card out and reinstalled it again, still no sound. I'm really lost and could appreciate some help. Do you think the sound card could be faulty?
In device Manager the sound card shows up so it is being reconised, also on the opitical at the back of the card it glows a red colour.
The specs of my machine are:
Windows 7 Home Premium (orignal not a copy!)
Gigabyte P67A-UD7
Intel i7 2600k 3.40Ghz
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR PC3-5000C9 866Mhz
ATI Radeon 6970
Also i've updated Windows 7, but to be honest i had no sound before the updates and no sound after installing all the updates and uninstalling the drivers and then reinstalling them. I feel like i'm a beaten man and it's so annoying, any advice PLEASE?

Please ignore my post, sooooo embarrassing, user error (hands up). Nothing wrong with the hardware or drivers.
As i didn't have to do this before when i was using my Fatalty card without using optical i honestly didn't give it a second thought but i had to go to the encoder settings from the creative audio software and change to Dolby or DTS, it was switched off so i chose Dolby at first and then my Logictech Z5500 5.1 LCD Panel changed to the Dolby sign and then there was light (sound). I felt very stupid indeed.
However it would have been REALLY helpful if i could have spoken to someone in person, it took me 6 hours before another kind poster from another website told me where i was going wrong, Creative really need to have a technical support phone line as their knowledge base is VERY limited!

Advice needed on buying iphone as gift

I went to apple store, they do not want to sell iphone to me unless I sign AT&T 2 years plan. I thought AT&T has locked the phone and users must subscribe in order to use it. Why Apple store still not allow me to buy?
Please advice, if I want to buy online iphone for my brother, do I or my brother have obligation to sign out AT&T plan?
One more advice needed, I found the shipment takes weeks, do I have option to arrange for self-collection?
My brother birthday is coming soon, I need above advice urgently.
Thank you very much

I'm guessing English is not your first language. It's possible that you misunderstood them. Apple Store employees won't refuse to sell you an iPhone and you don't have to sign up for service in the store.
Well that's not entirely true.
Apple Stores have been instructed not to sell you an iPhone if any of the following is true:
You state that you will not be signing up with AT&T.
You do not have an ID from a US state, also indicating you will not be activating with AT&T
You do not have a credit card
For example, I've seen US Apple Store managers refuse to sell iPhones to European residents because of the AT&T lock-in.

How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.

The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
Good Luck

Creative gigaworks s750 v/s logitech z5500

I own a creative audigy 2 nx sound card and looking for the best speaker system compatible with it
After reading the reviews at varoius sites i concluded that the best speaker systems available in INDIA are creative gigaworks s750(35000 RS. INR) and logitech z5500(25000 RS. INR),money is not a consideration all i wanna know which of these speakers is better for watching DVD movies. I am really in a delimma here as logitech z5500 has an inbuilt dolby digital and dts decoder.
can anyone suggest me what to buy PLEAZzzzzzzzzzzz.

The gigaworks sound a lot better or so they say. I've never heard either of these speakers, but in terms of sound quality everyone agrees the gigas are the best PC speakers money can buy.
There are some build quality issues with the gigas though. If you look on this very forum, you'll find that many people have had 3-4 defective units in a row and others have had the system fail a few days after the warranty ran out. What percentage of the total user base this is, is unknown, but the gigas are quite popular amongst discerning pc users.

Video intensive work on Mac Pro? Advice Needed

Hi everyone,
I've been originally saving up for a while now for an iMac 24" as it offers the best specification price wise. But now I leaning on the Mac Pro and therefore need some advice.
I know that there are alot of posts on advice - need to buy mac etc. so therfore I would really appreciate if I am afforded some help.
I am mostly going to do ALOT of video encoding (via handbrake) and I am looking for the best configuration available to achieve lowest waiting time.

I think you should go back and look at the other threads with advice, your budget. There is "ideal" and "affordable."
Will it pay for itself in 24 months so you can afford the next revision at that time?
Start with an 8-Core 3GHz.
Add a Port Multiplier controller and two drive cases, 5 drives each, nearly 400MB/sec RAID.
Throw in 8GB RAM.
Add in costs for software upgrades, two sets of backups, four internal 500GB drives.
Seagate has 750GB, as does WD. Hitachi has their $450 1000GB monster.
Give yourself time to build, test, and optimize your setup, and expect to change it over time as you learn more.
Can't afford that? then trim the 8-core. But Apple has shown how efficient next generation applications already are for video when it comes to 3GHz 8-core Mac Pro.

Usage Notes
This procedure requires the CREATE JOB privilege to create a schedule in one's own schema or the CREATE ANY JOB privilege to create a schedule in someone else's schema by specifying schema.schedule_name. Once a schedule has been created, it can be used by other users. The schedule is created with access to PUBLIC. Therefore, there is no need to explicitly grant access to the schedule.
