Having Troubles on Soundblaster Live! 24bit external and 5.1 out

Hi all,
I've installed a Soundblaster 24bit external on my Acer 5920 Laptop and connected through SPDIF to an Yamaha RX-V550 Amplifier but I only obtain stereo sound and not 5..
Which is the cause? I'm using VLC media player and already installed AC3 filter and turned ON the option "use spdif" and selected 5. audio sistem.
Regards?

I completely agree. I had so much fun with the effects and making my own...shame it seems evey time people try to 'improve" something they only take away the best parts.
I'm needing an external sound card with that good old EAX console, but obviously creative doesn't think it's good enough to have on portable versions.

  • Soundblaster Live 24bit External + Vista h

    Ugh, what a nightware this is. Where do I start?
    I installed using the installation cd that came with it and upgraded to the "vista" drivers on the creative website.
    I have sound, but no CMSS and no working Line In.
    Is there a workable solution to this?

    I downloaded the file. Unzipped it and converted the iso file with WinAr. It was/looked like the same CD I have. It would not install anything because it did not recognize a soundblaster product,?but when I plugged in the card thru the USB a defalt windows driver was installed. I have been trying this for weeks with no luck. Somehow windows installed a default "usb audio" driver. The sound was all crackily when I played an mp3. I went into the hardware update and updated the driver. Windows found a driver to update with in the C:\windows\systen32 folder. It is now working fine.
    Now my only problem is when I restart windows I have to unplug the usb with the soundcard attached then plug it back in when I am back at the desktop. I think there is a conflict at startup and the computer will freeze if the card remains plugged in but I have been living with this ever since I bought the card a year and a half ago. THe only issue is I am worried I will plug it in one of these times and it will not be recognized again. What a pain...

  • SB Live 24Bit External: Reproducible System Freeze after installing Windows Upda

    I have a SB Li've! 24Bit External and am quite content with it. However, my Windows Update has recently installed the following updates:
    - Cumulati've Security Update for IE, KB9282
    - Cumulati've Security update for OE, KB9567
    - Tool for Spyware Removal, KB890830
    - Security Update for Windows XP, KB90853
    - Security Update for Windows XP, KB9562
    I suspect one of the last two ones to be at fault. Afterwards, my computer froze completely on the Windows startup screen whenever the SB came up. I could verify that it was the SB by removing the USB cable (which solved the issue) and plugging in again later to the running system (which brough the freeze again).
    A was able to get a running system again by using the System Recovery, but I'd *really* like to install those updates (. to be a little more safe and 2. because the Windows Update nagging me about those updates is really annoying).

    This has got to be the craziest IRQ table that I have ever seen. Windows will not let me change any of the settings. It doesn't seem kocher, and I am pretty knowlegible from other systems I have set up, but not this one. I have been keeping a few charts to see if anything changes, and these have changed since this morning, though nothing else has been installed. I know they shouldn't share as they do, but it won't let me have control over these. Am I am doing something drastically wrong. On USB is Epson 760, Logi cordless opticle mouse, and MS Internet KB with combo PS2 / USB 2 port hub. I have the mouse plugged into KB. HERE GOES:
    IRQ 0 :  Sys timer
    IRQ 1 :  Keyboard
    IRQ 2 :  Prog Interupt Controller
    IRQ 3 :  Com 2 (yet I have disabled in bios)
    IRQ 4 :  ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
    IRQ 4 :  STD OPEN HCI USB HOST CONTROLLER
    IRQ 5 :  ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
    IRQ 5 :  NVIDIA USB 2.0 ENHANCED USB CONTROLLER
    IRQ 6 :  FLOPPY
    IRQ 7 :  EPSON PRINTER PORT LPT1 (MY HP540 IS HERE)
    IRQ 8 :  SYS CMOS / RTC
    IRQ 9 :  SCI IRQ USED BY ACPI BIOS
    IRQ 10 :  ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
    IRQ 10 :  ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
    IRQ 10 :  NVIDIA NFORCE MCP NETWORK CONTROLLER
    IRQ 10 :  NVIDIA NFORCE PCI SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
    IRQ 11 :  ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
    IRQ 11 :  ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
    IRQ 11 :  SB LIVE
    IRQ 11 :  STD OPEN HCI USB HOST CONTROLLER
    IRQ 12 :  ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
    IRQ 12 :  NVIDIA GF4 INTEGRATED GRAPHICS GPU
    IRQ 13 :  NUMERIC PROCESSOR
    IRQ 14 :  STD DUAL PCI IDE CONTROLLER
    IRQ 14 :  PRIMARY IDE CONTROLLER (SING FIFO)
    IRQ 15 :  STD DUAL PCI IDE CONTROLLER
    IRQ 15 :  SECONDARY IDE CONTROLLER (SING FIFO)

    You might get more assistance if you simply post what the issue is. The odds of just finding an active forum user who happens to have that app, and an issue with it, are pretty small.

    I have an email account through yahoo. I am having trouble setting it upon my iPhone and can't receive or send emails!!!! I contacted Rogers and they said I need to find out the host name of the incoming server, in other words yahoos host name. Help!!

    Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
    While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

    I'm using Windows 7 and I'm using Twitch to stream.  I was told I can use Ustream but I'm not sure how to use that program for Donkey Kong streaming either.

  • HT1550 I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

    I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

    You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

  • I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one

    I'm having a lot of issues with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It began when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of ad popups, I cannot play one game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I keep getting an AVG popup about cookies that I cannot get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome very often even though I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and cannot find anything. How does one get personal technical help?? These issues do not happen in Chrome at all. Thanks.

  • Live! 24bit external and vista surrou

    The built in drivers for vista are fine, and the one from?creative is also fine for this li've! 24bit external except it didn't have?CMSS. Is there anyway to at least let the sound come from all my speakers when i play stereo sources? I understand there wont be true 5. anymore but well at least something coming from the rear speakers?P.S it worked fine when i play 5.dvd sources?

    Well for now, I guess you'll just have to wait for the new drivers with CMSS to be released. The current workaround to install the XP drivers will give you surround sound (not discreet 5.), but that's the best you can get. I'm using the Li've! 24bit external as well, and I've been refreshing the driver page for Li've! 24bit external daily hoping that it'll appear soon... But sigh~

  • SoundBlaster Live! 24 and Vista - Deteriorating Sound Qual

    I've recently upgraded to Vista Business, and my system informs me that except for the drivers for an ancient scanner all is working properly.
    When playing music (using a Creative SB Li've 24bit card with the most recent driver installed), all starts off well (in fact playback is better than under XP Pro) but the sound quality starts to deteriorate badly, especially when I open a browser. Quite often the browser itself seems to freeze.
    I have 3Gb RAM, with a 3.60Ghz P4 processor.
    Task Manager tells me that often I am running at 00% of CPU capacity, though the problem seems to occur at lower usage too.
    I've checked everything I know to check but just can't seem to get to the root of the problem. Can anyone suggest anything I should be looking at?

    Sadly no real progress.
    I simply pulled the Soundblaster Live 24 out of the computer and am using the onboard sound instead which at least for me Arch recognized just fine.
    I haven't been able to get any suggestions for why the Soundblaster was not working, but I am going to try another sound card a friend lent me and see what happens.
