How to plug a 5.1 surround system on a imac

Hello,
i have a mac 24' and a medion 5.1 surround system.
the problem is that exually i don't now how to plug in in my mac?!
i'v red about the Griffin Firewave (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/firewave) but they say it doesn't work anymore with Snow Leopard.
Does anyone have a product to solve this problem?
Thanks for any solutions!
(sorry for my bad English, I'm from the netherlands you know)

If your surround system has an optical input, you can just plug it into the audio out socket (you will need a converter lead which has a mini-TOSlink plug at the computer end) - the socket is dual function, giving analogue audio when a 3.5mm jack is plugged in and digital out when a mini-TOSlink jack is plugged in. You will only get stereo out unless you find a program - such as certain games - which can provide a Dolby Digital 5.1 output.
If your surround system has only analogue inputs you will need a converter, probably FireWire: a Google search should throw some up but you will need to check for compatibility before parting with any money.

How to connect X-Fi to surround system with tulip audio

I have Sound Blaster X-Fi and 5. surround stereo system with surround tulip in (this system separates audio channels itself). SB X-Fi have 3 mini-jack outs so it also separates audio channels. How I can connect my X-Fi to this system with one mini-jack->tulip cable, so it plays all 5. channels (now it plays only front channel)? I think that there is some option to send all audio-signal to one mini-jack out of my sound blaster (so stereo systems separtes it itself after), but I can't find it. Any ideas?

It think the Tulip you talking about is a standert RCA Female jack.
This is a likely a Digital Jack so what you need to do is hook it up to your digital out on your X-Fi. you can go to RadioShack and find a converter to change the Headphone jack into a RCA jack..Message Edited by Tannah on 07-23-2006 03:58 AM

If the new appletv doesnt support analog how do you run zone 2 on surround systems?

if the new appletv doesnt support an analog signal to send to zone 2 on a surround system what i am supposed to do now? i have been using the first gen appletv for many years with no trouble. NOW WHAT? apple has finally screwed up!

Use a Digital to Analog Audio Converter like this one from MonoPrice. It won't play 5.1 audio but stereo tracks should convert just fine.

Play iphone 4 on surround system w/o aux input

Anyone happens to know how to play my iphone on my surround system, provided that my systems (and most system) dont have an aux input? I can buy the dock system for ipod/iphone, but that cost $100, any ideas?

but can you explain why would having dock matter?
Sure. On the back of the dock is what's called an audio line out jack which looks the same as the headphone jack on the phone, but behaves differently.
The line out jack sends a consistent line level signal to the speaker system that is unaffected by the volume control on the phone. When using it you'll use the volume control on your speaker system to control volume.
Connecting in this way well help insure the best quality sound from your speaker system.

Login to gui. --> system -> Status
and then you should see the crm version in your Component version.

Audigy 4 and digital NAD L70 surround system - No surround?

Hi guys and girls.
I have a fine Audigy 4 sound card and an even more fine NAD L70 A/V surround system (DVD player and mid-powered surround amplifier - The baby brother of this one: http://www.nadelectronics.com/av_rec...73_framset.htm ).
I have 4 speakers connected to the L70, 2 front and 2 rear.
My problem is, that I cannot get any sound out of the rear speakers, when testing e.g. the Creative Speaker Calibrator.
I've connected the computer to the L70 via the Digital Out on the Audigy 4 and the Digital Coaxial In on the L70.
I've set the Input Selector to Cable/Sat.
I've set the Speaker Configuration to
- Front: Large
- Center: None
- Surr: Large
- Sub: None
I've set the Creative Speaker Settings to "4/4.1 Speakers".
Where am I doing wrong? Why is it so hard to set up to work correctly?
And why cant I find a "Digital Out Only" button as with my old SB Live! 5.1
I've tried several (all?) possible combinations on the computer side and on the amplifier side, with no help.
I can get music from the computer to go to all speakers by switching between the surround modes on the L70.
Has anyone tried anything like this?
Very best regards
Svend Koustrup / eSKape

Lex,
The information I gave Felix2 is not "horrible" or wrong, they are the truth. There is no need to start attacking again, if you are not clear on the information I gave in his thread, ask for more clarification, but do not attack.
If you are having problems getting it set up, it's best to provide some detail on what settings you have changed, how everything is configured, and someone will probably be able to help you.
The start of your post isn't very clear, do you have a standard Audigy 4 or an Audigy 4 Pro? The Audigy 4 Pro does have an optical output on the external dri'vebay, the standard Audigy 4 (just a card) does not have an optical output. You would need to connect through a coaxial input (minijack to RCA, then RCA-RCA).

System preferences in iMac for sound output shows only headphones. How do I change this to get sound through computer? Thanks.

In sound System preferences on iMac headphones is only option for sound output. How do I change this to get sound output through computer, as in a video etc. Thanks.

There is a switch in the jack that may be stuck. Try plugging and unplugging a headset plug into the socket a few times.
You might try dipping the headset plug into some pure alcohol, wiping it nearly dry, and repeating the process to clean/clear the socket.

Your terminal statement has an extra "." in it that prevents it from working.
Also, you should add the options -alR to show what is happening, and to search subdirectories.
The revised command looks like this:
ls -alR /Users/Shared/*.so
The above is completely wrong. The command as shown in the article is appropriate.
The "." is not extra and doesn't prevent the command from working. It's specifying that you're listing files that start with a period and end with ".so" with anything in between being matched.
Because you're explicitly searching for things that start with "." you don't need the -a flag.
Because you only care about simple existence and not any metadata you don't need -l.
Because the files of interest are installed in /Users/Shared directly, and not subfolders thereof, you don't need -R.
