How to install my 5.1 speaker system

Hi,
I'm going to purchase a new 20" iMac once Leopard is out in October, I will be moving from a Windows PC and would like to continue to use my Creative Inspire T6060 5.1 speaker set.
I have noted that the iMac only comes with a headphone jack, currently my speakers connect via three seperate jacks into a soundcard.
What is the best way to connect my speaker system?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Headphone jack on all current Mac models (include latest aluminum iMac) doubles as SPDIF digital optical output as well. In other words, both analog (for headphone/line-out) and digital audio outputs are built into the same combo jack. Same analog/digital implementation for the audio input jack. Alternatively audio output can be sent through USB bus in digital form to external decoder. Thus unlike PC, the compact iMac does have many extra features already built-in.
All you need is an external 5.1 decoder to decode 5.1 digital output from headphone jack or USB port into analog format with three analog outputs for Creative Inspire T6060 5.1 speaker set (woofer/centre, front L/R, surround L/R). The only such decoder I have come across is Tutle Beach's Audio Advantage SRM (www.turtlebeach.com) though there are many surround audio decoders/receivers (mostly with SPDIF optical outputs) on sale in audio equipment shops. Take note that Creative Inspire T6060 is active speaker (amplifier built-in) whereas outputs from some surround decoders/receivers are meant for passive speakers. The difference is between low line level outputs (for active speakers) vs high amplified outputs (for passive speakers).
Optical Toslink cable with two different connectors on both ends (standard Toslink / 3.5mm Mini Plug) is required to connect between headphone jack output and external 5.1 decoder input. In case when USB port is used, any good USB cable built for peripherals (printer, external drive etc) will do.
Since I never play game and hardly watch movies with my new aluminum iMac, only good stereo audio is required for music appreciation with following setup:
iMac USB port -> Firestone Fubar3 DAC -> Firestone Tube Head Pre-amplifier (vacuum tube) -> Harman Kardon SoundStick2 speaker
Hope the information will help.

    Hi,
    CE is indeed not double stack. However, it is possible to install both an ABAP and a CE on the same host provided they have different system ids and instance numbers. This works for the current SDN download versions: CE 7.1 and CE 7.1.1 (system id CE1, system number 00) and AS ABAP 7.01 (system id NSP, system number 02).
    Needless to say, it is perfectly possible to configure and establish all kinds of connections between the two:
    JCo/RFC calls in both directions
    Web Service calls in both directions
    AS ABAP as a portal backend
    publishing system information in SLD
    accessing an ESR
    accessing a Service Registry (publish + query)
    using AS ABAP as user database for the CE
    Single Sign-On
    Best regards,
    Thorsten

    Hello Shilpa,
    in other [thread|Re: ABAP and JAVA version of NW2004s sneak on the same system;, where you have the contribution to the same topic, Raja has written:
    earlier i had abap and ep sp16 (first ep was installed and then abap was installed)
    I would try on your side to instal ABAP instance now. At worst scenario, you have to make both installation
    again on clean up HD.

    3.In transaction SMLT , Choose Classify Language (Language symbol or F5 )
    4.Supplement this language with English or German (Recommended)
    5.The language must be defined in the instance profiles so that you can log on in these languages. The relevant parameter is

    6.Go to the language for which you want to install extra packages and choose  or choose Language --> Import Package
    7.in the next screen , enter the path for language packages.

    ,if you are importing in production timings, and you cna exculde this server from logon group )
    9.if any problems in importing then analyze the log and restart the import .
    10.After importing the languages, you must also import the language data in the Support Packages.Choose Language --->

  • How to install xp on windows 7 system (dual boot)

    Hi all!
    I have Lenovo s10-2 with 3G module and Windows 7 start edition originaly installed on it.
    Beacause the system is very slow I want to install xp home via usb. And I woud like to have  both systems working.
    Is the any tutorial how to do it? And what software I need for doing it?
    Thanx in advance!

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    It cannot be done. Contact your I/T personnel to have them install it. If they won't, the company doesn't allow it. You cannot do anything about that.
