GX660R - Connecting to 5.1 speaker set.

hi,
   I recently bought a new MSI GX660R and have read that you can use the headphone socket as a S/PDIF out connection.  I have tried to link my laptop to my 5.1 speaker set using a RCA jack but I cannot seem to get any sound out of the system.  In fact, my speaker system doesn't even recognise that something is plugged in as i get no speakers or digital symbols on the amp.  Does anybody know how to set this up correctly?

I have another question regarding the jack connectivity of the GX660R.
Do you know if we can plug a 5.1 headset like ROCCAT™ Kave model.
It seems that the microphone plug and central/subwoofer is the same plug but headset need separate plug in for mic and central
As shown on this schema  
If so it's sad because all other headsets need a soft plugged with usb and this laptop is equipped with a real good soundcard.
Does anybody tried this function?
thank you

    Hi,
    Depending on brand and model of the 5.1 speakers. The machine only has the following list of ports:
     Multi-format digital media card reader for MMC and SD cards
    1 VGA
    1 HDMI
    1 headphone-out
    1 microphone-in
    1 USB 2.0
    2 USB 3.0
    1 RJ45
    That means you only have 1 port for speaker. The best option is to buy an USB sound card.

  • ITunes Automatically Change EQ Setting Based On Which Airport Express Streaming?  I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different

    I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

    I'm in the same boat. I have a 6 zone amplifier running with 6 airport expresses to different rooms inside and outside the house. Each has it's own acoustic characteristics. I'd really love to be able to set each airport to equalize based on my SPL frequency sweep I did for each room.
    Setting the eq in itunes won't do it as that is global plus I have many more sources for auiod other than itunes that use the AEs directly.

  • Only one audio out for a speaker set that requires 3 ??

    Hi,
    I just got my splendid MacBook pro today and I put my PC for sale simultaneously.
    Switching to Mac was a charm - I'll save the details - but only one thing is still bugging me :
    I've got a Logitech Z-640 speaker set. The center speaker is the one to connect to the computer (or audio card whatsoever).
    Well, it has three plugs, since it's a surround speaker set.
    But, my MacBook only has one (the earphone plug indeed).
    So if I plug the "green" plug, everything seems to work.
    I unpress the "matrix" button on the center speaker and they all work, including the subwoofer.
    On my PC I used to have a small application that would "test" them (make each speaker play one by one, so you could tell that they are all controlled independently and therefore that surround sound is enabled).
    I couldn't find anything like that on OSX - is there a feature like that ?
    And do you think I'll still be getting surround sound effects even though I could only connect one of the three plugs ?
    Any other suggestions ?
    And is there some kind of devide, like a USB one, that would let me connect the three plugs ? Is it worth it ?
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS !!!

    Congratulations on your new mac. It is a great machine.
    First of all, the MacBook Pro actually has 2 audio outputs -- they are just collocated. One is the analog headphone jack and the other is a mini toslink digital optical port.
    The "green" plug you refer to is just a stereo analog input. The "matrix" feature of your speaker system is just simulating surround sound. If this is OK with you and you don't want or need true surround sound that is just fine.
    There is equipment available that can separate and convert the digital optical output signal into discrete analog channels, but this equipment is highly specialized professional gear. You're not going to spend $1000 to hook up a $50 speaker set.
    If you want true surround sound, you should upgrade to a speaker system that will accept a digital optical input, normally referred to as toslink or s/pdif.

  • Hiss, hissing sound in speaker sets like the MegaWorks 550

    Over the years, I noticed that my MegaWorks 550 started hissing more and more. For anyone interested, i want to share my quest to find the cause.
    First of all, i looked on this forums. There were several useful posts.
    http://forums.creative.com/t5/Speake...ion/m-p/169575

    Based on these, I mailed customer service for some more information. Their mails were annoyingly useless. On top of that, they actually removed above mentioned posts from their forums! Here's a small summary of the mail conversation with customer support. It's so stupid, that it's actually fun to read:
    ME:
    Dear Creative, [...] my MegaWorks 550 [...] has a clearly audible hiss. [...] This hiss is also present when no inputs are connected and independent of volume level. The level of hiss is equal on all five sattelite speaker connections, even when objectively measured with an oscilloscope. [...] I know the MegaWorks 550 is farbeyond the warranty, but i am a trained technician and capable of replacing any part. Could you please give a hint as to what causes this hiss? Kind regards [...]
    CREATIVE:
    [...] To reduce static or buzzing noise from speakers, avoid placing speaker cables next to computer monitors, TV, an AC adapter, or any chargers for MP3 players or cell phones, etc. These devices have a strong field, which may interfere with speakers.
    Hissing Sound http://support.creative.com/kb/showa...aspx?sid=64810 [...]
    (duh, i already mentioned that it is independent of any inputs and also present with nothing connected)
    ME:
    [...]Dear Creative, Thank you for your answer. I read the support solution you pointed to, and i also read about eight different threads about this on your forum, suggesting several causes. I've tested the 550 in an electromagnetic Farady cage and with no inputs attached. The hiss remains constant on each of the five outputs and independent of the volume level.
    It must be a problem in the electrical circuit. Since this is a very prevalent problem, I hope there's a technician at Creative who know the cause. It would be great if they could explain which capacitors or connections typically need to be replaced or resoldered to remove the hiss.
    I'm, of course, very aware that the warranty of the 550 is expired, i would just really appreciate some hints on how to fix it myself. It would be friendly to the environment, to my wallet and to your reputation! [...]

    ME:
    Dear Creative,
    I would expect a €450,- speaker set like the Megaworks 550 to last longer than the three years it did before it started hissing. However, it's beyond the warranty period, so i'm not asking for any official warranty. But surely the least Creative could do, is help me fix it myself.
    I just need to know which capacitors to replace to fix it, probably somewhere in the power supply. I know that a lot of sets were sent back because of the issue, so surely there is a technician from Creative that can pinpoint the cause. PLEASE!

    ME:
    Dear Creative,
    I'm not asking for a repair service. I want to fix it myself. I know that a lot of people sent their Megaworks 550 back because of this issue, so there are people within creative who know what causes it. Please, I just need to know which capacitor to replace. I wont contact you after that, even if the repair goes wrong or anything.

    We apologize if this is not accommodating your need and your cooperation in this regard is appreciated.
    So... i opened the case and did some more experiments. I used a variable voltage. The hiss was indeed dependent on the voltage. Since it was not dependent on inputs or volume level and present on all five speaker outputs, i came to the following
    CONCLUSIONS:
    - the hiss is most likely caused by the final stage of the power supply unit
    - specifically: decay of one or more of the 10 capacitors in there
    - this is caused by creative using capacitors of a barely sufficient capacity (too cheap). Once they decay the become insufficient.
    - communicating with the customer service is a fun, but not very rational process
    Perhaps i'll replace the capacitors. If i do, i might share pictures and keep you updated. Please respond if there's anyone out there who would appreciate that.

    I don't know what to do I am going through music withdrawals

    Go to Setting then bluetooth and then under were you can turn bluetooth on and off, there should be a place where it says device. Your Device should come up and you should be able to tap it and connect to it. If you see your device there and it won't connect then tap the i with a circle around it and then hit forget this device. Wait a few minuets and then search for the device again then try to connect to it.

  • P5800 speaker set suddenly not working

    Hi all,
    I have a CL Inspire P5800 speaker set. I went to turn it on today and got nothing. I have checked the output of the power supply and that is good. I checked and rechecked the control wheel connection to the sub and the power connector to the sub but still get nothing when I turn it on.
    Is there a problem here that someone else has had or are my 2 month old speakers dead ?
    Cheers for any help.

    The remote still clicks when I move the dial. Also, I have stuck it with double sided tape to the side of my desk so it has not been knocked at all. I will give it a try, but i don't think the remote is the problem.
    Cheers

    the Li've!Surround option for speaker settings in not showing in my Surround Mixer

    SB Li've! Platinum 5.
    ASUS CUSL2
    Sound Blaster Li've! - Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03
    Installed the speaker preset for li've!surround but the only headphone, 2 speaker, 4 speaker, and 5. speaker shows up on speaker configuration of the Surround Mixer
    i've played the AC3 files on the cdrom and Dolby pro logic surround, I get sound from all fi've speakers on my Denon D-850 w/ Dolby surround pro-logic
    I can't use the surround mixer to test all the speakers, only front left and right speakers work on the test, i have to open to wav files directly to test the center speaker, the rear speaker test doesn't work from the wav file
    My Denon system only has analog stereo inputs, so this is my only option for letting Sound Blaster know I have 5 speakers.
    I've uninstalled all SB Li've software and drivers from the unipack, and reinstalled the orignal drivers and apps from the CD-ROM SBP5-CDSD-W-US MID : 32680 5-Sep-2000 and the Li've!Surround speaker setting reappears in the Surround Mixer.
    Is the Li've!Surround setting no longer available in the new Surround Mixer in Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03 ?

    it seems Li've Surround is no longer supported in the new drivers
    ....so what would be the best setting to play ac3 files or DVD's through my receiver with only 2 analog inputs (left and right) available w/ Dolby surround prologic. Should I set it to 2 speaker or 4 speaker setting in the Surround Mixer in order to send the best signal to the prologic decoder on my receiver with 5 speakers (2 front, center, 2 rear)

    My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
    For a test, change your router so there is no security.  See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod.
