HELP - No Subwoofer Output in Game

Well I upgraded several things at once recently, including my home theatre, which left me with a reciever and 5 Athena speakers + a Sub. So I decided that these would work wonderfully with my new X-Fi Platinum card.
I'm assuming that I have everything setup correctly by going from the /8" jacks on my X-Fi back to the RCA 5. inputs on my reciever (Denon AVR-205). When it comes to playing movies and music, it's nothing short of amazing. However, when I play games (particullary Battlefield 2 with the Ultra-High X-Fi setting turned on) I am getting absoloutly no output to my subwoofer? This is also the case in HL2 when I select '5. Speakers' from the in-game menu. Is this correct? I'm pretty sure that everything is physically setup correct b/c I get sub output in movies via Windows Media Player. I've also gone into the THX setup control panel that Soundblaster gives you and I can click the Subwoofer Icon or press the 'Test Channels' and I get sub output. And yes, I've gone through the THX speaker assignement option and properly designated the sub.
Any ideas? Any suggestions? Or is this the way it was designed?
I do have the option to run my FL/FR speakers through my sub and set a crossover freq on the actual sub...but this seemed uneccessary b/c I was assuming that my X-Fi would output a sub signal in games.... Did I just get a bad card?
Thanks in advance.

To get bass, go to the Speaker Configuration of your X-Fi (sorry, using an Audigy and don't know the exact locations of the controls for the X-Fi) and search to find the BASS REDIRECTION option. Enable this and you should be able to get bass from your subwoofer. The crossover slider will enable you to fine tune this according to your speakers' specs. Experiment with it and select the best frequency.
I don't know if this will work, because it appears your speakers do have a crossover, but I am not sure... Did you enable it or not? The X-Fi and all soundcards do not separate the bass signal if not specified so, as most modern 5. systems do that by themselves.

Bad sound and low subwoofer output on Audigy 2 zs with 5.1 5

Hi,
I am getting very very low subwoofer output on my Audigy2 ZS with 5. 5200.
To test furthter, i did the follownig
play mp3,
2 output is from front speakers
3 very very low subwoofer output
4 to confirm, removed green (front) black (read) cabled from sound card and can confirm a very very low subwoofer output
earlier with Li've! 5. every thing was working great.
what could be wrong?
i think Audigy 2 zs is a bad card and is a marketting hype.
is it that we need a different kind of cable to connect Audigy2 zs with 5. 5200? ( i am using the cable which came with my 5200 ofcourse)Message Edited by kotecha on 2-3-2004 07:23 PM

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the response.
I have tried all the thx console setup and bass levels.
Its not affecting the subwoofer output very much.
<Infact the subwoofer output is so low that i have to go and put my ears on the subwoofer to see if its producing sound.
Remember that with Li've! 5. (SB0220) which also i have with me is giving all the great results. so the problem is not with speakers but with the sound card and i want my costly card (zs) to work.
(i still believe the 5. 5200 3 pole cables (green, black, yellow) which we attached to the sound card and speakers are not compatible with Audigy2 zs as zs needs 4 pole cables - but i have not verified this still as it will be a long time consuming exercise - purchasing 4 pole pins and soldering here and there on cables and poles and testing testing)
Also, why the bass boost controls (level and cutoff frequency) in bass boost are disabled? how to bring them to enabled state?
Also, in thx console setup (calibration page) , its not SAVING the changes which i make to Distance, Level and Angle. Why is that so?
To help you further in understand my problem please note that i HAVE updated all the software to its latest versions by doing the software AutoUpdate from creative support site.
So i am having atleast 3 issues now
<. VERY VERY low subwoofer output while playing mp3 on audigy2zs with 5. 5200(this is my major concern)
<2. Bass boost controls are disabled (how to enable these controls?)
<3. its not saving the changes i make to thx setup console calibration page for Distance, Level and Angle.
<
As regards many ppl complaing of low subwoofer output on Audigy (2 zs and related), read the COMPLETE thread below (one of the largest threads on just low subwoofer output - around 360 replies to that post so far - but still no solution. just loyal customers feeling down of creative).

http://de.europe.creative.com/support/forums/thread.asp?thre=396&foru=5&page=


though the issue in that link is with audigy (2zs) and 5. digital, if you go through that whole thread, you will realise what we go through. THE SUBWOOFER OUTPUT IS A BAD PROBLEM WE ALL ARE FACING WITH AUDIGY AND RELATED.
I think i am hopeful of a solution as i was always an admirer of creative sound cards (the reason i purchased this costly audigy2 zs). but looking at the issues i am facing, it makes me feel it was a bad bad decision to purchase this costly card.

Please help with my issues.

Subwoofer output from ZS Notebook to Recie

Hi. I needed to boost my subwoofer's output from my soundcard to my reciever. The cable that I use to connect from my SB Audigy2 ZS Notebook to my Sony STR-DE898 is a Creative Labs Home Theater Cable with 8 RCA plugs. The subwoofer I use is from an Inspire T7700 and I'm using it as an acti've subwoofer, which connects from the Sony STR-DE898's subwoofer output to the RCA plug of a T7700 subwoofer marked Subwoofer in the back. Setting the volume to the max isn't a problem because I can adjust the bass level in the T7700's remote. I don't have the bass level at max (I set it to about 40% from hte minimum position) but when I go into Multi In mode in my reciever, I have to have the bass level at max but creates a hum. I can barely hear the subwoofer. Even turning on the Bass Redirection in my Speaker Settings doesn't help! Boosting the bass in Surround Mixer and increasing the 25Hz frequency in the EQ affects all the speakers so that's not an option. Any ideals? Any low-cost RCA-in->RCA-out amplifiers?out there which will boost my subwoofer output? The ZS Notebook will go through the amp to my Subwoofer In of my STR-DE898 reciever. Thanks.

You just saved me from starting a new post... exact same problem I'm having. Were you able to solve it?
Only difference for me is:
* Pioneer 7.1 receiver with 7.1 speakers, and it receives a PCM 2.0 channel signal from my mac mini late 2012. Can only hear sound out of L+R speakers
* I also only get 2 channels for video through XBMC, as well as iTunes music playback
If I change my midi setup to 2 channel instead of 8, I can change my audio settings on the receiver to acheive "multichannel", but still nothing coming out of the subwoofer. So I'm getting 7.0 not 7.1. But don't see why I need to resort to this if Mac OS and Mac mini claim they support multichannel audio through HDMI. And I too rely heavily on the subwoofer, so this work-around is useless to me.
Was just told to first try to reset the Mini (unplug for 30 secs) and PRAM reset (Command+Option+P+R). Will try that when I get home later today.

HELP about analog output video

Hello, I´m need help about analog output video in Premiere CS5 using Matrox RTX2. I need to crop a video with resolution in 1440x1080 to 4:3 in output analog. But what happens is wrong (I think). My video is in format anamorphic and the other option is 16:9 letterbox. Is there any way to crop the video without using effects. Thanks a Lot and sorry my bad english (my native language is Portuguese).

There are no 4:3 HD specifications. You'll have to put the video into a normal SD sequence, and scale it down till the top and bottom of the video meet the frame. That way the sides will be cut off.

I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. It was animated, 2D i believe. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down. I think there was some kind of animal in it, a giraffe maybe?

Could you be thinking of Microsoft Home's "Fine Artist" for Macintosh, as shown in this Amazon.com listing? This program was bundled with the Performa series of Macs during the mid-90s.

I am trying to buy help on my candy crush game but I keep getting this pop-up? Unable to Purchase. This item for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID. To buy this item with this Apple ID, you must first purchase the app. My daughter set up this game on my Iphone. I am on level 65 and don't wont to start over if I don't have to.
Any suggestions?

If it was indeed purchased with a different apple ID then there is no work around for what you want! You can try signing in with your daughter's apple ID and password and update the app and purchase whatever you want then log back in with your apple ID. This may work!

Help Needed to Write Nim Game

I need help in writing the Nim game. I have the program written already for the user to select if they want to go first or the computer and how many stones the user wants to start with. The problem I am having is writing a loop that recognizes which player is to go first and executes the play of taking stones. Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps there could be a boolean firstPlayerMove. Then, when the loop starts, if that is true then the first player enters the stones, otherwise second player. At the end of every time the loop is executed firstPlayerMove should equal "!firstPlayerMove."

No sound output in games with "advanced effects"...Audigy 2 ZS...HEL

Hi there.... I have a soundblaster audigy 2 ZS installed with the drivers and EAX console. I have noticed that if I enable "advanced EQ" in the "enable audio effects" menu, i get no sound output from games or other software, although windows noises and sound files play fine!!If i use other features from the "enable audio effects" menu such as "environment" then the sound works fine....Surely this is not meant to happen?Anyone else check this for me?

Help Making a SIMPLE JAVA GAME *TINY GLITCH*

got a tinnnny glitch and ive tried everything to get it to work, but so far no luck.
Heres what my program does:
1. Aliens spawn at top left (top 4 rows) and move to the right and dissapear (DONE)
2. Shooting rectangle at bottom middle (moves left and right) and shoots bullets (DONE)
3. When bullets make contact with alien the alien dissapears (DONE)
4. When you shoot 20 bullets game over (DONE)
5. When all the aliens fly by the screen game over (DONE)
GLITCH
1. When an alien is killed any bullet that goes over the exact same spot of collision the bullet dissapears! +so does an alien going over same collision spot
MISSING
1. Score, every alien kill + 10 CANNOT get a working score funtion to +10 fo every alien successfully hit :(
My SRC jus copy and paste and compile, any help appreciated

//ignore spelling mistakes in comments and outputs lol
ive spent way to many hours over these 2 stupid problems, hope new eyes can spot the problem

I'm not going to look at your code, but it sounds like when you're killing things you're not removing them from your future calculations. So if an alien is killed, it should either be removed from the list of aliens, or a "dead" flag should be set on it which causes it to be ignored in future calculations.
edit I did look at your code actually, and that is a really, really bad use of multithreading. You shouldn't just create a new thread every time a bullet is fired. You should maintain a list of bullets, have the main thread drive the UI, and have a secondary thread to update the game logic (recalculate collisions, etc).

Urgent Help Required for Connect Four Game

Hi all,
I am a student and I have a project due 20th of this month, I mean May 20, 2007 after 8 days. The project is about creating a Connect Four Game. I have found some code examples on the internet which helped me little bit. But there are lot of problems I am facing developing the whole game. I have drawn the Board and the two players can play. The players numbers can fill the board, but I have problem implementing the winner for the game. I need to implement the hasWon() method for Horizontal win, Vertical win and Diagonal win. I also found some code examples on the net but I was unable to make it working. I have 5 classes and one interface which I m implementing. The main problem is how to implement the hasWon() method in the PlayGame class below with Horizontal, vertical and diagonal moves.
Sorry there is so much code.
This the interface I must implement, but now I am only implementing the int move() of this interface. I will implement the rest later after solving the winner problem with your help.

I am sorry for all this junk code but I only understand it this way. Your urgent help is required. Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your help but I really don't understand the table lookup algorithm. Could you please send me some code to implement that.
I will send you the formatted code as well
Thanks for your help.
looking forward to your reply.

Hi all,
I am a student and I have a project due 20th of this month, I mean May 20, 2007 after 8 days. The project is about creating a Connect Four Game. I have found some code examples on the internet which helped me little bit. But there are lot of problems I am facing developing the whole game. I have drawn the Board and the two players can play. The players numbers can fill the board, but I have problem implementing the winner for the game. I need to implement the hasWon() method for Horizontal win, Vertical win and Diagonal win. I also found some code examples on the net but I was unable to make it working. I have 5 classes and one interface which I m implementing. The main problem is how to implement the hasWon() method in the PlayGame class below with Horizontal, vertical and diagonal moves.
Sorry there is so much code.
This the interface I must implement, but now I am only implementing the int move() of this interface. I will implement the rest later after solving the winner problem with your help.
Interface code..............
interface Player {
void init (Boolean color);
String name ();
int move ();
void inform (int i);
Player1 class......................

// BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
int player1;
System.out.println ("What is your Number, player 1?");
player1 = scan.nextInt();
System.out.println ("Hey number"+player1+" are you prepared to CONNECT FOUR");
System.out.println();
return player1;
//Player.move();
//return player1;
}//end move method
public void init (Boolean color)
public void inform (int i)
public String name()
return "Koonda";
}//end player1 class
Player2 class...........................

Help! No output sound

Hi,
I'm in an emergent situation where my Macbook have no output sound. It's a Macbook, but the new lines all call them Pros. Here is what happens:
1. There is a Red Light inside the MIDI port, only in the one where the microphone sign is (the output one). I have never seen this red light before, but after a restart, it went out.
2. I checked System Preference and it says no output control device even though the laptop itself DOES have built in microphone. And the funny thing is, when I restart it, it gives me the 'boo' sound, but when the OS loads and the GUI shows, no sound.
3. I plug in an external microphone, the sound is there. But once, the external microphone is plugged out, the red light shows up again.
Please help,
Regards,
Angela
Message was edited by: Angela Zou

I did a quick AHT, but funnily, it reports no problem. However, the system shows a 'built in input microphone', but no 'built in output microphone'; it only shows 'built in output'. It's quite terrifying, it works just yesterday, and now, I can't even find it in the system.
I did check Audio MIDI setup application, but the IAC driver is labeled red. I mean, what is wrong with this?
Regards,
Angela

Help with sound output via HDMI

My sound output via HDMI suddenly stopped worked to my TV set. I've reset the PRAM and the SMC. When I go to sound control panel for sound output, the setting is on Headphones. When I try to change it to SV420XVT1A (the tv) it immediately jumps back to headphone. I also tried a different HDMI cable to a different HDMI port on the tv. This just started after the Mac Mini had been turned off for a week. I'm using Lion and it's an 8GB Intel Core 2 Duo. Any suggestions?

I actually discovered this answer about 5 minutes after I posted the question. Thanks a lot for your help!! Funny thing is that it had worked all along with something plugged in the headphone jack but suddenly stopped working. Again, thanks!

Help please with output settings in Save For Web Photoshop CS4

I am new to CS4 Photoshop so have been watching tutorials on Lynda.com. According to that tutorial I should have the ability to save a photo as an image in the Output Settings dialog box. The only options my panel gives me are:
HTML
Slices
Background
Saving Files
I don't have the option for Images Only or for HTML & Images. Are these two hidden somewhere?
I have been experimenting with Save For Web, but when I click on Save I get a panel that lists all the images saved in a folder named "Photos" but I cannot find in that folder any of the images that I optimized and saved for the web. Where are they to be found? Images that show up in Bridge are not my optimized images either.I would be grateful for some assistance with this.

Those settings, HTML, Slices, etc, are the Output Settings you don't normally need to change aonything in there.
Leave it at default and you will just save a version of the image stripped of unnecessary data and reduced to the degree you specified next to the file format choice.
When you press Save in the SfW interface it calls up a Windows OS Save dialog box showing the last used location.
The destination can be changed in the normal way. The Images you already saved will be in the the location that was in that dialog when you saved them.
There is a lot more information in the help pages on this topic! (Hint.)
