How do i get my surround sound to work with my laptop while using a hdmi cable for the video

I have a Sony surround sound system hooked up that works great. My X-Box 360 works with it and I can get my HP G60 to play audio files through the surround sound system with a red and white audio jack plugged into the back of my surround sound receiver, the red and white audio cord goes to a 3.5mm headphone jack that i plug into the headphone plug on the front of my computer. The problem occurs when I hook my HDMI cable into my computer and connect it to my Samsung Flat screen, the HDMI sound takes over and wont allow the sound to go through the headphone jack. My tv does not have any audio output plugs, and my suround sound reciever doesnt have an HDMI input. Is there a setting on the computer that will allow me to over ride the HDMI sound and direct the sound through the head phones? or is there an app or tool that will allow my laptop to recognize my suround sound system plugged into my laptop? I have been to best buy, walmart, radio shack and even my local car audio store to ask about this issue and everyone has a different solution, and so far none of them have worked???????? sincerley frustrated! please help!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I can not get 3D surround sound to work with my X-Fi and headhones please he

I have an X-Fi Xtrememusic soundcard and I have been unable to get possitional sound working consistantly with two sets of stereo headphones. I have the latest drivers installed and have creative audio console set to: headphones, game mode, CMSS 3D and I still have no possitional sound at all. Noises seem to come from above my head I can't tell right from left or forward from backward in other words I am completely lost as to were sounds are coming from in games. I used to be able to get possistional sound to function by changing headphones in the creative audio console to 2. or 4. speakers.
If I set the mode to 5. or higher the sounds in games (footsteps, weapons fire) would become heavily muted and hard to hear while I would gain better positional sound for other players and now this does not work at all. I have also tried disabling sync to windows control panel and changing its sound options and there have been no beneifts from doing so. In settings other then stereo headphones no sound was produced at all while others stopped sound coming from one of my headphone speakers. I am at a total loss I can not think of anything thing else to fiddle with.
My system specs: Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego, ASUS A8N-E mobo, 2GB DDR400 2.5CAS Buffalo ram, EVGA 7800GT CO, X-Fi Xtrememusic. No popping or crackling sound at least. Thank you you reading this.

Hay everyone thanks for the advise but i was finally told by one of the support personnel that I actually need the dri've bay insert that comes with the fidelity in order to get the cmss 3d to work with the headphones.
I only purchased the extreme gamer not the extreme gamer fidelity and that is why i cant get the cmss 3d to work but it still advertises on the box that you can use the cmss 3d and get that feature. :angry:? Should have done homework but i was out Christmas shopping and i went off of what the box advertised. This is very unusual for me to shop compulsi'vely. The funny thing is that everything else on the box that is advertised such as the increase of the CPU and the EAX HD features are able to be used. Im very upset about this because I particularly bought this card for the cmss 3d. I really don't know if i will ever recommend another Creative Product to any of the people i do computer repair or gamer builds for, unless this gets resolved and the only way to resolve this is to get the cmss 3D to work. By the way I did do a full reinstall even with clean boot so that isn't the problem. I'm really upset and ready to return this product to Best Buy unless this can be resolved. Any admin that comes across this please send me any ways of getting a hold of anyone that can help. Tks and hope yall had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop?

Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop = how do I add my existing itunes from my account from my laptop to my iPhone 4. Thanks.

Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer. However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

After hours restoring phone and resetting all my accounts and settings the Bluetooth is back on. Not sure how long this will last. In regards to AirPlay taking over, I had to drive far enough from our wifi signal to allow the Bluetooth to take back the audio. Its working for now.

How do I get my Jawbone Era to work with my Ipad 2

How do I get my Jawbone Era to work with my Ipad 2? The Ipad shows the Jawbone as synced, however, when I play a video it does not play through the Jawbone, only the Ipad speaker.

You need to pair the iPad with the bluetooth keyboard. I don't understand how you could have used it even once without doing this process (unless whoever sold the iPad and keyboard to you did this for you?) but perhaps it has somehow become unpaired. There should be instructions with the bluetooth keyboard on how to pair it with an iOS device like your iPad, but the general process is pretty straightforward as described here:
iOS: Third-party Bluetooth accessories
If you can't find the pairing instructions/user guide that came with the keyboard then look on the manufacturer's website, they'll almost certainly have downloadable User Guides containing the info on pairing.

Using 5.1 surround sound speaker set with my laptop

1. HP Pavilion DV6-6150EW QA944EA
2. Windows 7 Profesional 64 bit
This is my laptop.
I want to buy a set of 5.1 surround sounds speakers (most likely some cheap and popular creative inspire Inspire T6160).
My question is will they work with my laptop? Ill have to just plug cable from that speaker set into my 3.5mm jack socket on the left side of laptop (where i usually plug in headphones) and it will work?
Or this laptop dont have 5.1 sound?
I didnt found what sound card it has, all i found is that its beats audio and IDT High Definition audio codec (driver date: 2012-03-23, driver version 6.10.6395.0).
I would appreciate help sice i dont want to find out that if i buy speakers they wont work (or only 2 speakers will work).

Hey there,
I would recommend using one of these USB audio processors: http://goo.gl/5z9Gm
This is just the first one I found so do you research to see which one fits your needs the best. I looked at your laptops spec's and could not tell if you had any digital output connectors. HDMI will also transfer digital audio, it just depends on what your trying to accomplish.
Hope this helps!

How can I get my Canon A620 to work with Windows 7

Just signed up here, ot the brightest with tech stuff. I'm trying to get my Powershot A620 to work with Windows 7. I'm guessing there's drivers I need to down load ? Will they be on the Canon website or on this help site ?
I'll keep looking around.
Steve

If you need photo software and don't have any you can download Canon software here.
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a620#Dri...
But if you already have software you use there is nothing special you need. Ether connect the camera using a USB cable or remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader (either an external one or the computer may already have one built in.)
If you decide to connect the camera via USB you don't need a driver; its built into W7.

How to get Surround Sound to work With Itunes 7 and Stop Skipping

A common problem for surround sound with itunes 7 appears to come from Creative sound cards. The way to fix this problem is to right click on the volume icon in the taskbar and open the EAX Console. Open the CMSS 3D tab and check the box that says Enable CMSS 3D and set both CMSS and CMSS2 to 0% in the stereo focus slider. It should work. Remember to have the volume slider in itunes at 100%.
If that doesn't work then open the quicktime preferences in the controlpanel/quicktime. Then go to the audio tab, uncheck the safe mode box. Set the rate to 64 kHz and the size to 16 bit. Then set the channels to 5.1
This should all make it work, after hours of struggling i've found these successful settings and am loving it!
For those of you who have sound skipping during transitions----
Go to the preferences of Itunes and go to the Playback tab, disable the crossfading between songs and you should play skip free!!!!

Need help getting my surround sound to work when watching TV

I recently got the Samsung Blueray Home Theatre system and it works fine while watching movies, but I can't seem to get the system to work while watching regular tv? Any ideas?

In order to get sound while you are watching braodcast tv or satalite you have to route the sound to your receiver some how. If you use a external source for watching tv, like a digital cable box or satalite receiver you will have to run the sound to your receiver from that component. A digital connection would be best so your receiver can decode dolby digital if its available for the program you are watching. And optical cable, digital coax (looks like an RCA cable) or HDMI if your components utilize it. For the HDMI you would need to have an HDMI out on the cable/satalite box and a HDMI input on the stereo receiver.
If your not using a cable or satalite box then you need to run an optical cable from the optical out of your tv to an optical input on the receiver.
Without knowing exactly what components you are using its hard to say which would be the best way to hook it up.

Is-32-900-Tvbu - Getting the surround sound to work with this TV

Can anybody help??
We have just bought a Is-32-900-Tvbu ISIS TV from Best Buy but we have tried wiring up our speakers and no sound is coming out of them. I dont know much about Sound Sytems so bare with me, but there is nowhere in the back of the TV to connect the speakers directly so we had the speakers conencted to a Stereo and then a lead from the Stereo to the TV (the one with the red and white connections). This worked fine on our old TV (one of the ancient bulky things) but doesnt seem to work now. The speakers work fine so its not them.
I have tried playing around with the Audio settings on the TV but nothing i do seems to make any difference.
Do you think this is a fault or am i doing something wrong??
Thanks for your help

With that TV, I believe the only audio output that it gives you is through the SCART connection. I might be wrong though. Does your stereo have a SCART connection? I've only worked with this connection once so I'm not completely farmilair with it but, I think this would be your best conneciton for audio. If your Stereo doesn't have this connection there are addaptors you can get. It's called is a Multi-AV SCART adaptor with input/output signal switch..... I think.
