How to run audio through Optical in and out through PC speaker jacks

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a SoundBlaster Z because of the optical audio ports, and I am trying to run Optical audio from my Playstation 3 through the Optical In port and out to my 5.1 Surround PC speakers. I can't find any settings in the control panel (literally there is only one setting, to change the encoder, no other options and profile button doesn't work). I tried running the speaker configuration application but nothing happens when executed. Can anyone provide assistance with this?
I tried using the Auto update application, and go figure, it stops working every time I run it as well. Does any of their software work?

Tried using Creative Diagnostics, and that too does not run at all.Creative Utility.jpgCreative Auto Update.jpg
Is this what the Contol Panel is supposed to look like? It doesn't seem like there is anything to control, besides the volume and encoder.

  • Does anyone know how to access the sound software on a Mid 2010 Mac Pro? I have a Logitech Z906 5.1 surround system with fiber optic in and out, I only seem to be able to get stereo and simulated 5.1 sound .

    A mid 2010 Mac Pro, trying to get 5.1 surround out of the onboard sound software using fiber optic out connected to a Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker sys. with fiber optic in and out, all I get is stereo and simulated 5.1 sound out of the speakers. In utilities, Audio Midi Setup I can't get the Mac to see the Logitech speakers for 5.1 speaker configuration. Without being made to feel like a dummy, does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Carl

    Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
    One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

  • How can I get my system in and out of DOS mode?

    How do I get my system in and out of DOS mode?

    There is no "Dos-Mode" in OSX.
    Guessing that you tried to run an .exe file while in OSX ?
    These are meant to be run in Windows.

  • Just used my FaceTime for the first time, and my audio kept cutting in and out.? Why is it doing that? Or what's causing it? HELP!

    I tried facetiming for the first time and my audio kept cutting in and out.. WHY!? It was so annoying. Does anyone know what might be the problem? Connection? Thanks!

    Do you have a Corp. Exchange account on your phone? I ask, because the requirement to encrypt an iPhone backup can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account.

  • Hi there,  I have a ipad2, when I go to my ringtones I do have sound, if I go to music, skype or watch youtube I only have sound through my earphones and not my internal speaker

    Hi there,
    I have a ipad2, when I go to my ringtones I do have sound, if I go to music, skype or watch youtube I only have sound through my earphones and not my internal speaker. I'm not connected to any bluetooth device or anything

    Try plugging your earphones in and remove them again. Do that a few times ... Plugin and uplug ... and see if the sound comes back for the speakers.

  • IMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, running Lion 10.7.3, won't recognize external speaker jack, any suggestions?

    iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, running Lion 10.7.3, won't recognize external speaker jack, any suggestions?  Got a brand new iMac and purchased external speakers for same.  Hooked them into external speaker jack and the computer does not recognize the external speaker jack.  I then plugged them into the external head phone jack and the computer recognized the head phone jack.  How can I get the computer to recognize the speaker jack?

    Thanks "a brody," my mistake, I was mistaking the "audio in" jack for a speaker output jack.  I have some Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers with a built in amplifier that I am using and they sound beautiful.  I do have them plugged into the correct jack, but was thinking there was a speaker out put and headphone out put.
    Thanks again for correcting me, I feel much better now that I know my brand new iMac isn't defective, lol.

  • 5.04HDV capture-no way to listen to audio to mark in and out?

    First time capturing HDV footage and don't get audio on desktop speakers. Audio direct to monitor from deck is way out of sync with picture in capture screen. Not like DV settings that allow you to click on audio to hear in capture mode. Have been through all the setups I can find of without results. Capturing in Firewire. Meters in capture show audio is there and playback of captured material is ok but batch dig. is a horror this way. Dif. setup somewhere? ED.

    Yes I know.
    The thing with markers (M) is that these are always placed on the primary storyline, except if you selected a clip in the non-primary storyline. So I don't know why you must first select the Range Selection tool to make in's and out's. Why don't it works just as the markers do.

  • Ipad Does NOT turn ON even when pressing power/home buttons, plugging through the charger and usb through itunes

    Hi, my iPad suddenly froze while downloading a free kid's game, the loudness/soft symbol just kept on appearing no button works even the slide off/cancel. Then it suddenly turned off. I searched for troubleshooting guide, I tried pressing power/home buttons as instructed, charged/uncharged, and connected through usb using itunes but to no avail. What have gone wrong? I bought this in Vietnam but am here in the Philippines and still under warranty. Could I bring this unit to a service center of apple here in the Philippines?

    Did you hold the home/power buttons for ten to fifteen seconds until the apple appears?
    If still bad, try a restore from within iTunes.
    If still bad, take it to an apple vendor for them to test/reinitialize for you.

  • How to store variables when logging in and out of course

    Hi there,
    I hope I can explain this properly! I am developing a course using Captivate 7, and it includes drag and drop exercises, free text box entries and an unmarked quiz at the end of each module.
    We are using Cornerstone LMS and learners will be able to log in and out and resume the course from the point they had last reached.
    My problem is - if you enter text into one of the free text boxes, I have set it to store it as a variable, so that this variable can be displayed on another page in the course. But when you log out and then log in again, it has lost everything that was typed it.
    The same with drag and drop - it doesn't remember where you had dragged the boxes to.
    Is there a way that I can make sure the text entered into the text entry boxes is stored in the LMS and will still be displayed when a learner logs back into the course?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Rachel

    User defined variables are stored in the suspend data. As long as you exit the course normally and do NOT check Never Send Resume Data, your user defined variables should be available.
    Captivate also stores quiz data, but not the state of a quiz. You will not be able to drag one object, exit the course and return with one object dropped.  You can see an example of suspend data from my LMS, notice the user variable inRemediation which is initially false, but was set to true, then exited and returned with the value as true:
    suspend_data: F1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nPHNinRemediationAEtrueIq1_frameB.OkBIq2_frameBACQ1BBCQ2BBTcpQuizInfoStudentIDBAV

  • HT1338 how to use tap to zoom in and out?

    I have tried to tap using Mt Lion to zoom and out on a web page and it would do it. Can anyone pls advise?

    In an application like Safari, it's a Double-tap with one finger on the Magic Mouse or a double-tap with two fingers on the Trackpad.  Check System Preferences > Mouse/Trackpad to make sure the option is checked.

  • How do I delete the zoom in and out effect on my slideshow?

    I have installed this widget to my website but I only want the fade in and out effects on the transitions. The zooming is not something I'm interested in since i am showcasing pieces of my portfolio. I need the images to come in and out at 100% of their size and not zoom in or out at all.
    Is this possible? I don't know js and going throught the plugin scripts was confusing enough.
    Is there a plugin or anything I can just delete on my page that will just cancel this particular effect out?
    Thank you!

    Hey Gramps
    Thank you for the help. It stopped the effect but it also made the slideshow an unordered list going from top to bottom so the images were not in the slideshow itself.
    Here is what my code looks like
    <script type="text/javascript">
    // BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141543: #ImageSlideShow
    var ImageSlideShow = new Spry.Widget.ImageSlideShow("#ImageSlideShow", {
        widgetID: "ImageSlideShow",
        widgetClass: "BasicSlideShowFS",
        injectionType: "replace",
        autoPlay: true,
        displayInterval: 8000,
        transitionDuration: 2000,
        componentOrder: ["name", "title", "view", "controls", "links"],
        sliceMap: { BasicSlideShowFS: "3slice", ISSSlideLink: "3slice" },
        plugIns: [ Spry.Widget.ImageSlideShow.ThumbnailFilmStripPlugin, Spry.Widget.ImageSlideShow.TitleSliderPlugin, Spry.Widget.ImageSlideShow.PanAndZoomPlugin ],
        TFSP: { pageIncrement: 8, wraparound: true }
    // EndOAWidget_Instance_2141543
          </script>
    You asked me to remove it from the constructor.
    Exactly what do I need to change from this code so it will cancel the plugin?
    Thank you again, it feels like I'm getting closer.

  • Headphone / Optical Dig. Out to Stereo Headphone jack?

    Goal: To output sound from my Powerbook G4 to my stereo speakers.
    Problem: My stereo is an older model and only has a headphone jack (no RCA); the speakers connect via bare wires and clips in the back of the main base unit.
    Question: What are my options? I've read there are minijacks that can convert headphone to RCA, but in my case I'm sort of going from headphone jack to headphone jack. How do I ensure that the sound from my Powerbook outputs through my stereo speakers?
    If there's a thread that I missed, I'll happily read it instead. Thanks for your time.
    Powerbook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.4.4)
    Powerbook G4 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Your simplest and best bet is to get a set of small speakers that run from the PB headphone socket, there are quite a few alternatives and they're not that expensive.
    You can't connect the PB directly to your speakers as the headphone output is not powerful enough to drive larger speakers, which also tend to be less efiicient. If your base unit has inputs for other equipment (usually called Aux), then if this uses 2 inputs - left and right, you can get a Y cable which connects a single plug to the PB headphone output and 2 plugs (left and right) to the base unit Aux input. You can't justconnect 2 headphone sockets together as both wil be outputting sound at each other. As an alternative, If you buy some speakers and an amp or receiver then you can also do what I've just suggested.
    I hope that helps, it's difficult to know what the exact options are without being able to see your stereo.
    You might find some good options here;

  • How to run the Oracle SOA Suite and all its prerequisites on different mach

    Greetings,
    Due to the difficulty to run the SOA Suite and all its prerequisites, including JDeveloper, on a single machine, I would like to deploy the admin server, the soa server and the bam server on separate machines. Is it possible and, if yes, how ?
    Kind regards,
    Nicolas

    yes.
    You can just install db + rcu + wlst + soa on 1 machine. After that you middleware should be up and running.
    Now you can install jdeveloper + soa extensions on your client and connect to the remote location of the soa server
    or did i misunderstood you ?
