HELP!! Audigy 2 ZS + Logitech Z5500 speak

Hi, i have the Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z5500 speaker (with decoder), i plug the speaker wires and 3 plugs correctly with the sound card, i install the Audigy 2 ZS software and driver by default, and i have set the speaker setting to 5. on the sound card, when i test the speakers from the sound card, the "channel" buttom, i can only hear "front left" and "front right", no sound coming from center and rears and sub. i have set the speaker to 5. on the speaker control pad, and from the speaker control pad had set to "direct", not optical or coax, i think everything is setup correctly. i also tried to disable the decoder from Audigy 2 ZS, but no change, when i press "channel", only can hear "front left" and "front right". Please help me......... thanks alot.

i am 00% sure everything is connected correctly. When I use the Creative SB audigy 2 ZS software to test the speakers, on the "channel" buttom, i only hear sound coming from ?front left? and ?front right?, the rears and sub have no sound, I have set to ?6 channel? on the speaker control pad, and have set to 5. on Audigy 2 ZS, I had tried to disable the decoder from the sound card, but the problem still exist. When I set the speaker control pad to ?direct? effect on ?6 channel?, and test with the Audigy, I can hear ?front rightcenter?..all working, but when I listen to MP3 and CD, there are no sound come from the center speaker (on windows xp pro), But when I listen to MP3 and CD on Windows 98 (I have 2 systems installed on my computer), sound come from all speakers. Therefore, I believe that the sound card has problem running on Windows XP pro.

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.

Problem with Audigy 2ZS and Logitech z5500 speakers

Hi, all. I've had my Audigy 2ZS for a while, and I've been using Creative 4. speakers. I just got the logitech z5500 5. speakers, and I've been trying to get them to work properly with my soundcard, but it's giving me headaches.
The setup: I'm using the 3 direct inputs to go from the sound card to the speakers, so all the various digital issues I've read about *shouldn't* be issues for me.
The problem: When I do my a sound test using the Speaker Settings controller, my rear speakers are reversed, and one of them doesn't play at all! I've confirmed that all my speakers work, and I've used the diagnostic tools that come with the speakers to make sure that the speakers themselves are set up and working correctly.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really frustrated...this seems like it's either a card or software issue, but I'm just not certain how to fix it.
Thanks!

I had the same problem with two different X-Fi extreme music cards. I fixed it by running the speaker test for individual speakers and changin the speaker settings ad nauseum. 'tis an issue with the jack sensing on the drivers.
If you unplug all the connectors and plug them back in, you'll find that some other channel gets screwed up.

Help Audigy 2 ZS Platinum w/ Internal I/O Drive and Remote + Logitech Z55

hi, I am wondering if i connect the optical digital output in the front of the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum to my Logitech Z5500 optical digital input, will i be able to get sourround sound when i play CD or mp3 files? If it works, do i need to change some settings? Or is there a way i can get sourround sounds through the Z5500? If i cant get sourround sound, never mind. thanks alot.

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!

Gigawork s700 vs logitech z5500 vs klipsch ultra 5.1

i wanna buy a set of 5.1 speakers, the purpose is to use it on pc and DVD player.
i want GOOD SOUND QUALITY, LOUD and Earthquake BASS.
Which brand and model is better?
Gigawork s700? Logitech z5500? Klipsch ultra 5.1 or any other suggestion?
Thanks alot.

Definitely go with the klipsch 5.1 ultras. It has by far the best bass out of the 3.1 The logitech may appear to have more bass but it will sound boomy and not as tight and refined as the ultra sub. The gigaworks sub doesn't compare as it's only one 8" instead of 2 and doesn't go as low as the ultras. The 5.1 ultras are just all around the best multimedia speaker set right out right now. The support with klipsch is also amazing and I've been helped by them myself in the past when my original klipsch 5.1's died and they upgraded them to the ultras for free AND paid for shipping all in a timely fashion. That's amazing service and logitechs and creative's service just do not compare. A set of gigaworks I tried a couple of weeks ago didn't even work out of the box. No sound from them at all. $100 down the drain for just trying out those speakers from newegg with shipping and restocking fee. I Bought another set of ultras and couldn't be happier.

Logitech z5500 and creative soundblaster l

Hi All?I have had the creative soundblaster li've for sometime and jsut decided to buy a set of 5. thx speakers. After alot of reading i decided to go for the logitech z5500 as they apealed to me the most. But i have one problem I am using the triple audio stereo cable to connect the speakers to my soundcard, when i perform a test through the creative software it only detects the left and right speakers. Is there something im doing wrong here cause it would be nice when performing a test that all speakers are detected. But the sound seems to be there and sounds good?Hope someone can help!!

Yeah, cant anyone answer this. I have the exact same problem here(except I am using Audigy 2 ZS). I reinstalled the drivers and software 3 times, still, same. As a matter of fact, ever since I updated the drivers, the sound quality has gone down.....How is it that Winamp would be able to send sound to all my speakers yet, the utility for the card wouldn't ? Makes no sense at all !! Anyone wants to try to make sense of this.
Thank you.Message Edited by phild on -23-200604:7 PM

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.

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.

Logitech bluetooth speaker adapter kaput since update

Since the new Mac OS X 10.7.3 update, my Logitech Bluetooth speaker adapter has not functioned. When I choose to use it as my audio device, there is a very long pause and then I receive the message "A Bluetooth audio error occurred." (Normally, I wait through a short pause after which I hear a beep from my stereo speakers that tells me that the Logitech adapter is working.)
This device has been working fine since I bought it two months ago. It hasn't worked since the update.
I'm running a MacBook Pro (2.2GHx Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 4GB 667 RAM).
Anyone else having this problem? I am not sure if this problem is directly related to the update. Just looking for info right now.

Greetings everyone! I reinstalled Lion and paired my Logitech Bluetooth Headset at 10.7.2. But the system won't connect to it after updating to 10.7.3.
Finally I made my bluetooth headset work again. Here's how I did it;
1. In Preference>Bluetooth, remove my paired device. Reboot mac.
2. Deleted the following two files in Library/Preferences/
---com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
---com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile
(These files will be reconstructed by the system)
The system will ask for your administration password. Reboot mac.
3. In Preference>Bluetooth, pair my BT headset again and assign it to be the audio device. You may find the BT device not connected, then by playing a music or youtube video, connection should be established and sound is output.
4. Reboot to make sure BT headset work steadily(leave the BT headset turned on). But I encountered kernel panic and forced restart (twice!) Upon the third restart, I logged in, and BT headset worked properly.
The normal situation is, Mac automatically connects to BT headset few seconds after the headset is turned on. And I think we can just turn off BT deveice (whenever we don't need them) instead of disabling Bluetooth in Preference. Just leave the BT settings, so next time your Mac sees the BT device, it automatically connects to it.
I hope the above information can be helpful. Any comments are welcomed!

Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS - Vista - speaker calibration etc

Hi,
I've searched but I can't find an obvious answer to what I suspect is a common question.
I've got an Audigy 2 ZS Pro which I've just installed using the drivers from the site. It's working ok but there is no applciation for set up of the speakers in a room - as there was in the original CD that I used with XP.
Can anyone help? Or am I just imagining that a utility did exist when I last installed this on an XP machine?
Thanks
PH

JRe: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs0 I'm afriad that the CMSS3D option did not work? ? I still cannot get any speakers to play out of the rear of the soundcard.
As I said before, the goal is to try to get sound to play out of both the headset and the speakers attached to the rear of the soundcard simuntaneously.
The headset is plugged into one of those devices in the front that is in a 5 & /4" bay that has the individual knobs for adjusting volume for the headset and outbound levels for the microphone.
The speakers are plugged into the back of the soundcard and do not play any sound in any of the sockets, starting from the firewire port and counting 3 over.
Any suggestions? I? thought it might have something to do with the setting of the speakers from control panel - > Sounds and Audio Devices -> Advanced and picking the right choice there. No luck however. Same for the Creative Speaker Settings as well.
I'm at wits end and I'd be very thankful to whoever can resolve this for me. =)

Setting Speakers(Logitech Z5500-Digital) To Multi-Channel 5.1 OpticalOut

Hello i Have an MBP and im using the optical out to connect my speakers(logitech Z5500-digital).
But when I open the Audio/MIDI Configuratio utility and try to configure my speakers, i can only set it to Stereo(default) and the Multichannel-> Stereo(from dropdown menu)
Can anyone tell me why i cant set it to the 5.1 option? My speakers support 5.1!
thanks!

first- i have the same speakers-
you do not have to mess with the MIDI-
also- what are you listening to? itunes is not 5.1- you must have a 5.1 dvd playing in your DVD app- and then in the preferences in DVD player you can set your setting to get 5.1- hope this helps

Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs

FSoundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs? ?
Greetings..
Running into a bit of a issue here I can't seem to fix. I've gone through the troubleshooting guides and FAQs already and they aren't resolving the issue.
My normal setup is a couple of desktop speakers plugged to the rear of the card through the standard ports (non-digital) and a headset with mic plugged to the device in front that includes volume controls for both mic and speakers.
I've just did a complete reinstall of Windows XP (32 bit) including everything up through SP3 and a reinstall of the drivers and associated software applications for the card as well.
The problem I am having is that I can no longer make the rear speakers (desktop speakers) play when plugged in. The 2 headset speakers still play just fine that are plugged in the front however.
What should I do to resolve this issue so that I can have both the desktop speakers and headset speakers both playing? I'm fairly sure I'm just missing a setting somewhere but for the life of me I can't figure where to fix this.
Thank you,
Culann HS

Logitech Bluetooth Speaker Adapter Update OS X?

Hi, i bought a logitech z506 5.1 speaker system for my mbp and with it i got a Logitech Bluetooth Speaker Adapter with the set. I then tried to pair my iPhone with the adapter and BAM straight in and playing via bluetooth onto my speakers. But then i tried it with my mbp, no luck, pairs then disconnects and no sound . Phoned logitech and they said that the adapter doesn't work with OS X Lion which is slightly annoying as i just paid £90 for this set and adapter. Anyone know if there will be some sort of update. I doubt it because it is such a small number of people that this effects. Thanks

I am having this problem right now too only difference is that I am using a bluetooth headphone rather than a speaker. The volume is very low and it would disconnect automatically if my bluetooth headphones are not playing any audio. I never had this issue until I updated to 10.7.4. I tried searching for solutions but I couldn't find any. I am hoping as well that someone will find a workaround about this issue.
