  • How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
    However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
    Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
    Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.
    https://logitech-en-ap.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9693/section/trouble shoot/crid/409/lt_product_id/224/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/sg,en
    The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
    http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
    If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
    I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
    The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
    So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
    Good Luck

  • 5.1 speaker hook up with Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (Del

    ?????????????Hi Everyone,?I have a Dell computer, about?4 yrs. Old, that came with Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (Dell) audio card pre-installed. I purchased a set of front speakers & sub woofer from Dell that all connect thro one speaker cord which is inserted in the ?"line out jack " on the Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (Dell) card.Now I'm thinking about hooking up?a surround sound speaker system, or to my AV receiver. I also have a?"rear out jack" and a "analog/digital out jack" that I have never used. But I need some documentation on how to do this.Feed back will be appreciated.

    I have a digital as well but it is virtually useless I have tried everything nothing on this site nothing works. As well. I have a 5. li've and every driver?Idownload corrupts within 2 weeks, speakers start to crackel yadayada. Is there any support at all from this site for the product that you put out? I notice the driver dates on the downloads page is way outta date by like 4 yrs,lol. I would like a lil help on these cards before i snap them in half an buy another maker which I would hate to do as I have always bought soundblaster and for all my customers as well. A nice updated drivers page would greatly be appreciated

  • Issue with Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit driver

    ,Issue with Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit driverw Hello, I have a 2004 Dell Dimension DIM900 and a couple months ago it began making a loud crackling noise sporadically. It sounds like real ear-piercing static, like when a microphone is being plugged in, only in short random bursts at alternating pitches so I originally thought my speakers were blown. I turned them off and decided to use a headphone set only to hear the same annoying sound.
    I looked in the sound settings and read that I have a Sound Blaster 24-bit internal driver in my system, assuming that information is correct.
    What can I do? I did the search and read the read on those X-Fi drivers that had a similar problem, but I didn't know if that was the same as this because the thread concluded that their problem was exclusi've to systems with Nvidia dual SLI graphic configurations and X-Fi drivers. ? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi IT5,
    May I know if this Li've! 24bit came pre-installed on your Dell computer or did you purchase & install the sound card separately?

  • Help with sb0200 soundblaster live 5.1 digital.. only playing 2.1

    At the risk of being redundant, I can not download a ligitamate driver for my SB0200 sound blaster li've 5. digital card... nowhere on this site.. I can not find my orginal disc, so I can not get the correct drivers... I also can not test my 5. speakers because I don't have the application that would come with thte driver disc... I am currently only playing out of 2.... no rear no center... is there any help for me ?

    Did you remove your original soundcard and disable the drivers? If you don't do these things you can (and probably will) get conflict problems when you install the new soundcard, as most motherboards do not like more than one sound device attached to them.
    In my case (a Compaq Presario PC) the advice from Compaq is to to delete the drivers, not just disable them. If you?delete,?make sure you can get hold of a fresh set of drivers for the original soundcard should you ever need to re-install it.Message Edited by monitor on 04-29-200705:0 PM

  • Problems with SOUND BLASTER LIVE! DIGITAL

    Friends,
    I have a SB LIVE! 5. DIGITAL. My Windows XP SP2 detects my sound card but he dont know what card is, and i make a download of the lastest driver and he says: YOU DONT HAVE A SOUND BLASTER CARD>
    I dont understand what happend, on Windows 98 works well, isn?t a problem with my sound card.
    My computer is:
    MSI K7N2 DELTA-L
    MSI FX5700 ULTRA

    20GB SAMSUNG 7200
    SB LIVE! 5. DIGITAL
    DVD-RW LG 6X
    I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Trew,
    Did this card come preinstalled in your system? If so this may be an OEM model and you will need to contact the company you purchased your computer from for drivers for it. If this is not the case you may try moving the card to a different PCI slot and trying the install from there.

    Everything seems to be OK so it's propably the drivers for your modem that is causing the issue. Just try if updating them helps anything.
    Also, you can turn the MPU-40 (onboard MIDI/Game port) if you dont need it.

  • Can't record with Sound Blaster Live Va

    I have a Sound Blaster Li've Value (on-board) card and can't record streaming audio with it. It plays streaming audio fine, and seems to record it, but the resulting wav or mp3 files are "empty", playing them results in silence. I noticed that there was an old thread about this, but I couldn't find a reply. I tried to find out if this sound chip was indeed full duplex, but couldn't find that information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Ron

    I have the same message error.
    "The SBPCI Interrupt has been routed incorrectly by the system. AudioPCI Inacti've. Use Automatic setting in the Device Manager."
    I have a Compaq computer and win 98. Ever since we moved, the speakers stopped working.
    I tried going thru system properties and Device manager...it shows that the device is working properly. And the Automatic setting box was already checked. I bought new speakers thinking the speakers were bad but I still get no sound. I followed all the steps for Sound Troubleshooting. I did notice when I went to control panel, multimedia, devices, audio...one of the sound cards said: driver is enabled but inacti've due to an unknown problem. But it didn't tell me how to fix the problem?
    I don't know how to get the sound.
    Can someone help me? I really don't know anything about the computers.
    Thanks in advance.

  • My Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital won't work with Vista

    First off, I wasn't sure whether to put this in the vista or Sound Blaster form so sorry if this is the wrong place.
    Anyways. I got a new computer two days ago and just installed my old Sound Blaster li've 5. Digital (model SB0220) card into the new desktop. Vista, the operating system I'm using now tried to find the drivers but failed. Then I tried looking them up on the creative site with the drop down lists but it didn't pull up anything either.
    I plan on buying an m-audio 2496 sound card soon but for now I would like to get back to recording and the Sound Blaster card is much better than the stock motherboard audio setup.
    If anyone knows of any drivers for this card it would be extremely helpful.
    ThanksMessage Edited by 85Dave on 07-0-200707:22 AM

    hmm...thanks.
    Well its not that bad really. sound blaster cards are not made for recording audio and so I was going to get the m-audio 2496 card anyways.
    I'm just waiting for drivers on that which are supposed to come some time in the 2nd half of 2007.
    Thanks for the info.

    I know the "!" next to Multimedia audio device isnt the problem because that was there before i reformated when the sound worked.
    Ive Downloaded both:
    Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG)
    and
    Li'veDrvPack_Patch
    (Not 00% sure either of these drivers are the right thing for me sense when i type my model number into the driver search box it can't find it for some reason.)
    I always get an error message that says "Setup cannot detect sound blaster audio device on your system.
    Ive tried using Ctcomp with no luck
    Does anyone have any idea on how to get my sound card to work?
    Thanks in advance guys

    You don't say what drivers your using.
    2 threads to look at are http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=25677 for drivers, and http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page= for something that might help.You have a SB0228 according to that prefix.
    I think to loose that message, you may have to either edit the registry of use something like driver cleaner http://www.drivercleaner.net/

  • 5.1 Headphones with Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital (De

    Hi, I just purchased a pair of Kinyo 5. surround headphones and when I connect them to my Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (Dell) soundcard, the center speaker sounds much weaker than the rest. I'm guessing that the black output on the card board is the rear speaker output, the green one the sides, and the yellow one the center/subwoofer or digital out. Enabling the CMSS setting helped a bit, but it still seems quite weak. Either that or the rear and side speakers are too loud. Is there any way with the card I have to adjust the levels of the side, rear, and center speakers?
    -Evan

    Try turning on the CMSS features. The sticky at the top of this (Sound Blaster) forum covers the steps on how to enable CMSS or you can check out the Knowledgebase article SID4883 for the steps.
