Home Theater receiver users should read this for enabling dolby digi

I have an onkyo 5. dts / dolby digital receiver, and an audigy 2 zs platinum. i am using an optical cable from the front panel on the audigy to the optical in on my receiver. My receiver manual says it is a 96 khz receiver. I am using a 2 pin cable from my dvd player to the audigy. When using a dvd, I can not get dolby digital sound to my receiver. I have set the audigy to spdif pass through, i have tried 48khz, 96khz, every combination of everything. Setting to 2. speakers, 5. speakers, but yet i am stuck with either stereo sound if set to 96khz, or dolby prologic II if set to 48khz.
Another thing i tried was using a dvd image i created on my hard dri've from a dvd, and playing it through alcohol 20%, to see if it was my dvd player giving the problems. I still get the exact same results when playing a dolby digital source through the hard dri've.
So, in the end, is it actually possible to have dolby digital from the audigy 2 zs platinum through a home theater receiver, or not?

I am feeling the same way about this card. It would be nice if somebody from creative could respond with a definite correct way to get dolby digital to my home theater receiver. Im sick of being plagued with problems.. no dolby digital, random stopping of sound which requires me to reinstall drivers, popping noises every so often, etc etc etc..
seriuosly... an m-audio revolution is starting to sound pretty appealing.
edit: I would also like to note that my box does say front panel optical out for 5. support, unlike the previous poster had said it says stereo only. I am able to get dolby digital if i switch to my onboard nforce soundstorm or whatever it is.
PS. I am not going to let this thread drop down until I have a definiti've answer on whether it is possible to have dolby digital through my audigy 2 zs platinum and home theater receiver. I paid $200 for this card, and I really would appreciate a straight forward definite answer.Message Edited by jonnybruno on 0-9-2005 09:4 AM

All MuVo n200 users should read this!!! really wo

Hi i?m pepe, and few days ago i wrote for help, i was having problems with my muvo n200 when i wanted to listen mp3 file it played then with a scratch sound in the background.
Finally after reading, and reading, and more reading found this advise from a genius person who must work for creative, and i really mean it cause the gays from "support" treat my problem as a child?s stuff, "is the battery working" "is your player pluged correctly" dammn it.
So every one having problems with MuVo N200 shoud go to this page.

Hi. After I dont know how many hours I finally got mine to work. I hope this helps you, although I am not sure if it will. I am not exactly sure why it worked, or how ( maybe just a whole lotta hoping!)
Anyway....So I did a bunch of stuff a billion times. But here Is what I did most Recently to get it to work: ) Delete any old Creative files related to your player. 2) Reinstall the CD 3) Download Firmware upgrade .20.04 to your Desktop. 4) Download Mass Storage Driver .07.00.250 to your desktop. 5) Try to put it into recovery mode like you have probably done before by taking out the batter and holding play while you plug it in. 6) Instead of waiting for a "find new hardware" dialog box, i double clicked to open the new firmware file I had downloaded. This searched for my player and found it. 7) A box will pop up to upgrade your firmware. MAKE SURE TO SELECT THAT BOX THAT SAYS "FORMAT DATA AREA" before your start. ( I think this is where all my problems came from.) This worked for me and that was all I had to do. I didnt actually do anything with the Storage Driver download except put it on my desktop before i plugged my player.
After multiple correspondences with some not-so-bright support people, they did say if the recover mode wouldnt go or i couldnt get anything to work that I would have to send it back in for "Return Merchandise Authroization." If your contacting them, dont hold your breath too long....it takes a very long time for a response.
Hope this helps you!

Thank AB84, thank you very much

Yeah, I don't know why he didn't link to the original thread, where you can see all of AB84's posts and another post (from me) that gives an alternati've for reinstalling the CD. Here's the link:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=23264
He's right, though, to advertise to N200 owners with a shouting title (we should bump this occasionally), as Creative just won't put this in their instructions, yet there seem to be plenty of us N200 users that get stuck where our computer can't recognize it in recovery mode.

Hooking up MBP to home theater receiver: Surround sound for games?

I'm looking for a way to hook up my MBP to my home theater receiver to play games in surround sound. From what I've read, it sounds like the digital optical out will only provide 5.1 sound for DVDs, not games.
I have also read about the Griffin Firewave which supposedly provides 5.1 sound from the firewire port...however, it looks like there are five separate outputs from that device (center, and both front and rear speakers), and my receiver's inputs are not arranged in this way, so I don't think this will work for my setup.
Anyone know of a way to do this successfully? It's looking like it's not possible, but wanted to see if there were any solutions I was missing. Thanks!

I tried connecting the Optical Out on the front to my receiver's optical in. Made sure everything was set to 5. in both the Creative and receiver settings, and the receiver gets optical 5. just fine with my Play Station version 3 and X-box version 360 gaming computers. Please help, I have tried reboot, messing with settings, Google, I cannot fix this.
Jinwoo from great korea!

Hi I have the same probleme, exept that I have succesfuly pluged my home theater receiver and the 5.1 works. Just my subwoofer seems not to work properly. Like when I plug it into a digital dvd player it works very nicely. but when pluged into the sound card it seems that it dosnt have any signal for it.
ANy clues??? I know i pluged everything finely I have tested the sound test for each speaker and sub to, from the receiver and from the creative software the sub seems to work but very quietly even if I cran the volume up on the sub or in the software , the sub dont work as it should.
1 thing I remarqued is that the sub works occasionaly in some movies. When listening to the music it not working and I dont understand that.

Connecting HDTV/Dig Cable/Wii/Home Theater Receiver

I have a Samsung 600series HDTV, Yamaha Home Theater Receiver, AT&T Uverse Digital cable box and Nintendo Wii. What is the best way using HDMI and an optical audio cable(s) to route everything through my Receiver? I want to minimize the amount of cables running behind the wall up to my TV.
Right now I have:
- HDMI from Digital cable box up to HDTV
- HDMI from Receiver to HDTV
- Optical audio from HDTV to Receiver
- Wii not currently set up b/c I when connected to the Receiver I couldn't find the proper setting to get this to work
In the current set up, I get full audio out of all 5.1 surround sound speakers with the radio, but when the TV/Cable is on I only get sound from the front L & R. I'm sure it has something to with with my set up because I know all 5 speakers work...
thanks for your help,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

We use the second set up. Works just fine for us. Routes everything neatly to the receiver with one easy to conceal hdmi cable to the t.v.

Cannot send sound to home theater receiver

I have a HP Pavilion g6-1c57dx Notebook PC with Windows 7
The display adapter is 'Intel (R) HD Graphics family.
When I connect my Onkyo home theater receiver (TX-NR3008) to the computer via the HDMI port, I am able to send video to the receiver but not sound.
Can anyone help?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
You can either connect your tv to your receiver using either HDMI or component (existing tv only) and then connect your receiver to the TV by the connection of your choice depending on what is available on both your TV and your receiver.
Alternatively, you can continue to connect your tv to your TV in your current configuration and use the optical audio connection to connect your tv to your receiver for audio only.

When I try to access Apps via a CM1415fnw I receive an error reading: This printer is unable to con

When I try to access Apps via a CM1415fnw I receive an error reading: "This printer is unable to connect to the service. Check Internet connection..." However, ePrint and Web Services show the printer as Connected and I can eMail messages and documents to the printer and they print. Web Services IS enabled. Firmware is up to 20110329. Little help?

I called HP Support Dec 9th and was told that the Apps servers are being upgraded and should be back online "soon". Apparently, at that time, they had been down/worked on for two days. That's now at least three days. Does anyone know when the service will be available again? I purchased this new printer and installed it this week, but haven't seen the Apps feature work yet because it won't connect to the service. Hence, I'm unsure at this point whether the problem is (still) on HP's end or possibly a misconfiguration or something on my end. Thanks.

Possible to make an item editable for certain users and read only for other

Is it possible to make an item editable for certain users and read only for others?
I've been able to accomplish this by taken the select statement that I used to define an authorization scheme, placing it in the Read Only condition of the item. However, I would like to simply reference the authorization scheme to utilize caching, and to help keep things cleaner for future maintenance.
Is it possible to reference an authorization scheme in an item condition similar to the way another item can be referenced by preceding it with a colon (i.e. :P1_First_Name)?

Thank you, your suggestion worked.
It would be nice on a future release of APEX if a drop-down box existed under the Ready Only section that would allow an existing Authorization Scheme to be selected or negated when applying the Read Only attribute to a form item.

What is the best way to connect to home theater receiver ?

what is the best way to connect iPhone to home theater receiver?

For audio, video, or both?
Audio:
I use AirPlay.
If your receiver doesn't support AirPlay, you might try USB or Bluetooth.
If it's an older model that doesn't support any of the above, the mini-stereo-to-RCA cable may be your best option.
Video:
Try the Apple A/V cable.

I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac. I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
Is the permissions set to anyone?
When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

Connecting to a Home Theater receiver

I am thinking about buying a mini to use with my home theater system. I want to use iTunes to play through my audio receiver. I have a G5 and hooked it up through the media receiver for my 42" plasma. I got video and audio but it only plays audio through my TV speakers. Can I hook up the mini to my audio receiver so it will play through home theater speakers?

yes. I need an AV switch. You can find one @ WalMart for ~$20.

Read this for CD/DVD Drive with burning, missing drives, not seeing discs

Seeing lots of the same posts with the same solutions being applied (mostly upper/lower control filters/MS Fixit)... so I thought I'd put this up for everyone.
*Update* If this helps, please click the kudos to the right as I'm trying to gauge how effective this is. If you have the time to help the community, please reply stating what did or did not work.
There are some helpful HP support articles that you may want to try before posting:
If your drive cannot burn discs... or you can burn CDs but not DVDs (or vise/versa)... read this...
Drive Cannot Write to Writable Discs (Windows 7)
Drive Cannot Write to Writable Discs (Windows Vista)
Drive Cannot Write to Writable Discs (Windows 98, ME, XP)
Summary:
1) Try different discs! Cheap discs can be hit or miss. Find a disc brand and type that works best.
2) Try burning at a slower speed (not the best option, but can often get the job done if the laser is fading).
3) Remove drive from Device Manager and remove upper/lower filters (see below).
4) Use MS System Restore to go back to a time when it was working.
5) Use PC-Doctor/HP Hardware Diagnostic software to check for a bad drive.
6) If the drive is not bad - save your files and use HP Recovery to put the system back to the beginning.
If your drive cannot read discs; CDs or DVDs or both...
Drive Cannot Read Discs in Windows 7
Drive Cannot Read Discs in Windows Vista
Drive Cannot Read Discs in Windows 98, ME, and XP
Summary:
{restart the PC at least once to see if the drive shows up on boot}
1) See if the drive is listed in Device Manager (look for problems if it is).
2) Check autoplay (skip if you don't use).
3) Make sure a bad disc isn't knocking out the drive (an operating system mounts discs as drives and things can get screwed up).
4) Try reading the disc from a command prompt environment (outside of Windows).
5) Reinstall drive from Device Manager (if drive is listed). {I'd replace this with bigger process of remove upper/lower filters (see below)}.
6) Use MS System Restore to go back to a time when it was working.
7) Use PC-Doctor/HP Hardware Diagnostic software to check for a bad drive.
CD/DVD drive is missing (not in Windows Explorer or My Computer or in burning software)...
CD/DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows 7)
CD/DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows Vista)
CD or DVD Drive is not Detected (Windows 98, ME, or XP)
Summary:
1) See if the drive is listed in Device Manager (troubleshoot based on what you see).
2) Reset Power: Unplug power cord, press Power button for 10 seconds.
3) Check power and data cables attached to the drive and look in the BIOS for the drive name.
4) Remove upper/lower filters (see below).
5) Reinstall burning software
6) Get and CD/DVD drive firmware updates if available (to prevent missing drives in the future (I assume)).
7) Use MS System Restore to go back to a time when it was working.
Stuck Drawer...
Opening a Stuck CD or DVD Drive Tray
Summary:
1) Press eject button on case, on drive, button on keyboard (if exists).
2) Right-click drive icon in Windows and select Eject.
3) Turn off PC and inert a straightened paper clip into the manual release hole on the drive.
4) Check the power cord on the back of the drive.
MS FIXit, Resetting Upper and lower Filters (XP, Vista and 7)
First... try to use the MS Fixit (for Vista) if you are on the computer having the problem)...
Microsoft Fix it Solution
Otherwise, here are the manual steps (overview):
1) Uninstall the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager and DO NOT RESTART the computer.
2) Uninstall your CD burning software (make sure you have the installation disc or you can resinstall from Start, Programs, PC Help and Tools, Recovery Manager (or Driver/Application Recovery). If you don't have the installation discs, skip this step - it might still work).
3) Open the registry editor (Start -> Run -> enter Regedit) ... might want to make a backup of the registry at this point.
4) Open the following keys:
+ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
+ SYSTEM
+ CurrentControlSet (or the current control set with lowest number if that is all that is listed)
+ Control
+ Class
5) Select 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318. It has to be this exact key - make sure you can see the last numbers!!!
6) Delete the UpperFilter and or the LowerFilters value in the right window if either exists.
7) RESTART the computer - this step is important. Wait for Windows to find and install the CD/DVD drive you removed earlier.
8) Reinstall your burning software and restart the computer again.

That's why you want to make a backup of the registry. If you didn't make a backup, use MS system restore to go back. The only values you should remove are UpperFilter or LowerFilter - one or both may be in there and can be removed. If neither value exists, then that is probably why you can't burn and Windows is not recognizing your drive as a writable drive.

10.4.8 Update Intel users should read

A few updates that Intel users should be aware of as they upgrade...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304429
You need to make sure you are current (7.1) with QT or you'll loose playback of certain .mxx files.
Also - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200
"After installing the delta version of this update on an Intel-based Mac, the computer will restart two times--the first restart after installing this update may take several minutes; please allow it to complete.:"
Good luck,
CaptM

"Do I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) and firmware"
You don't "need" to install anything. If you think you can benefit from the updates then go ahead.
"i am just wondering whether I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel)? "
If it came with 10.4.8 preinstalled, then you do not need to install it.
"So I don't know what to do?"
Nothing. If it says the update isn't needed, then it's already been applied at the factory.
