Inspire 5200 5.1 - Can it run Xbox 360??

I have the Inspire 5200 5.1 system on my PC.
I can run the Xbox 360 through the PC by running the audio outputs through the 'Line In' port on my sound card. This is probably not 5.1 but it is good enough for what little I use the Xbox.
However I would lke to use the Inspire 5200 direct to the Xbox without going through the PC if it is possible WITHOUT an expensive decoder.
Is the Inspire capable of doing this?
Is it a stand alone speaker system or does it need power from another source?
If I hook the audio out from the Xbox into the 'Front' input on 'Audio Input' will this work?

This should work as the 5200s are powered speakers. However you'll need a phonox2 to stereo mini-plug adapter so you can plug it into your speakers (the green jack on the speakers (Front L/R)).

How to connect my Inspire 5200 5.1 Speakers to my XBOX? Pls Help!!!

Dear all,
I am in need of dire assistance to connect my Creative Inspire 5200 5.1 Speakers to my XBOX. If possible, I would like to maintain the full 5.1 functionality when watching my movies and playing games (that support 5.1 sound).
What other cables, adaptors, connectors do I need? Pls help... I am really not experienced with TV electronics, wires and stuff.

Ok, I did a search & found a post by NsOmNiA930 :
>>>
Or, you could make a custom analog adapter and get fake 5.1.You'll need 2 RCA couplers (or a coupler with 4 RCA Female jacks), a dual RCA to single 1/8 mini jack adapter, a single 1/8 female - 2 /8 male adapter, 2 /8 couplers, and a headphone splitter. It should look like this:RCA from Xbox Dual RCA CouplerRCA to 1/8" adapter(1)Female to (2)Male Adapter(2) 1/8" Coupler on Male ends of previous adapterHeadphone splitter on one of the couplersIMPORTANT! BACK MUST BE BY ITSELF ON THE CORRECT /8" END! CENTER AND FRONT SHOULD BE ON THE HEADPHONE ADAPTER! IN ORDER TO FIND THE CORRECT CHANNEL, DO A 5.1 TEST ON YOUR SPEAKERS AND CONFIGURE APPROPRIATELY!
>>>
Ok, can some kind soul translate that into English? What are all these components(adapter, coupler, headphone jack, 1/8?) What do they look like?

Can I add Time Capsule to a current network running XBOX 360

I know this has been covered a fair amount in other posts but I'm having a hard time weeding out all of the information to apply to my exact situation.
I currently have an Airport Express as my main wireless delivery system. This has been working great for the past few years with no problems at all. We also have an XBOX 360 hooked up to the wireless network as well without any problems. I also have another Airport Express used to stream music to some speakers in another room in the house.
I just bought Time Capsule but it hasn't arrived yet. When it arrives I would like to set up the Time Capsule to be my main wireless delivery system in order to provide wireless "n" to my AppleTV and get better speeds.
Would I be able to just connect my current Airport Express to the Time Capsule and have it continue to send out the wireless network it always has? Basically I would like to continue to have my current wireless network running so that my XBOX 360 can continue to run on the "g" network without problems. But I would be able to do everytying else on the "n" network.
I'm not savvy at all with networks. Is this what people call a "dual-band" network? It seems like once the TC is set up I could just plug in my current AEX and have it continue to send out the "g" network. Is this correct?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Doesn't matter anymore with wireless-n adapter working great!

Looking for descent, affordable wired router so I can hook up XBox 360-iMac

I just got an XBox 360, and I'd like to use the XBox Live features. Could anyone suggest a dependable, wired router that wouldn't cost much more than fifty dollars? I really have no need to go wireless, and besides I'd have to buy the wireless adaptor for the XBox 360 if I did. There's also usually at least one or two Bit Torrents running on my G5 iMac.
More importantly, I'd like to know if having the XBox Live online would interfere with the bit torrents running on the iMac, and should I expect to see a major decrease in upload/download speed on running torrents?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Visit DealMac and see what router deal they have located. Typically in the Sunday paper you can find several for $20 or less after rebate.

Can't get Xbox 360 Media Center Extender to work

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64. This is a retail copy. I had previously set up Windows Media Center and successfully set up my Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender.
After a long hiatus of using Windows Media Center, I went to watch a movie in my media library through my Xbox 360. It would appear to initially connect and then show the Windows Media Center loading screen and say "Contacting..." After about 30 seconds, it would display an error asking me to make sure my Windows Media Center PC is turned on (it is). I ran the Windows Media Center network test in the Xbox 360 and it tested fine.
I attempted to delete the Media Center Extender in WMC and set it up again, but it always fails with an error "An error was encountered while configuring your computer for use with this Extender" at the part where it says "Configuring your Extender".
I looked in the Event Viewer under the Media Center section and found event ID 543:

I also tried turning off the Windows firewall on the Windows Media Center PC, but this had no effect on the outcome. I also tried deleting the Microsoft Windows Media Center Extender Host certificate and restarting the Network List Service, but these steps to did nothing to fix the issue.
I am using the same computer with the same NIC with the same Ethernet cable with the same SOHO router (Linksys WRT54GL) with the same Xbox 360. Any advice would be welcome at this point.

Can only get XBOX 360 to work by unplugging and then plugging in ethernet cable?

I have 2 desktop computers, 1 laptop computer and 1 Xbox 360 using this WRT54GS ver 6 router. The desktops and the xbox are wired and the laptop is wireless. I replaced my old linksys router which I never had a problem with for this one. If my desktop computer is turned off and I turn on my XBOX, the router does not recognize the Xbox. I mean the XBOX is plugged into port 3 and that light does not flash on the router. Now, if I turn on my computer and then turn on my xbox, it still doesn't work. If I turn on my computer, turn on my XBOX and then unplug the xbox ethernet cable from the back of the router and then plug it back in, then the router recognizes it and it works great. I have had 2 chat sessions and I phone session with linksys and they cannot figure it out. They had me go into my xbox and set a static IP address, gateway and DNS. Then she had me go into forward a few ports on the router. I never had to do any of this stuff with the old router by the way. The last guy I talked to on the phone said I need to figure out a way to turn off "MAC Address cloning" in the xbox. I checked and there is no way to do this, so I think he is wrong about this. Does anyone have ANY ideas as to why this problem is happening?

I had the same problem and I just typed my settings in manually on my xbox 360's network settings.(IP, and DNS).

Can't run Xbox live and computer at the same time

I purchased a E3000 router for Christmas so we can run our new laptop, desktop, son's ipod, and the xbox live. At first, the only problem we had was that if a video or large page was downloading on the internet, xbox live would glinch and run very slow. Now, if someone's on xbox live and someone else turns on a computer, it boots them off xbox live. I don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Is the Xbox connected to the wireless network?
Try changing some advanced wireless settings on the router.
Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings.
Click on Setup tab and change the MTU size to 1365. Save the settings and power cycle the router.
See if that helps you.

Connecting Inspire 5200 to X-Fi Xtreme Noteb

Hi,?
I have a set of creative Inspire 5200 5. speaker and I want to connect them to my notebook with the X-Fi Xtreme Notebook card.
Before buying the card, I want to make sure I can connect the speaker to the speaker docking module and I also want to know if I can connect my Xbox 360 optical cable to the card to have a 5. sound with the speaker.
If anyone know if this will work or know a better way to connect all of this please let me know.
Thx.

Lazy to search? It's been here (and there) 'bout thousand times already so it shouldn't be hard to find...
?....actually no,i thought my post clearly stated that i had seen conflicting posts and diagrams with regards to which was the right way to conenct the headers to the pins,and i was just looking for clarification. I apologise if i wasent clear in enough in this. Anyway,thankyou for taking yor time to respond and i will look into the link you gave me and see if its a good solution. Incidenatlly,another thought occured to me this morning.As i have the t7900 wired remote sat on my desk its entirely possible to run a?3.5mm male/female jack extension from the mic input of my x-fi card and place it next to my wired remote,having the mic jack of headset in this extension,and the headphones jack in the wired remote input.....is this a viable solution,and would this not compromise quality?again ty for your time. sc_

How do I connect Airport Extreme to XBox 360 live

I just bought an Airport Extreme to use as my wireless router. Everything connected beautifully EXCEPT my all in one HP Printer and my XBOX 360. If I manually enter the settings, I can connect but only for a minute or 2. Once my son starts using xbox LIVE, the connection gets dropped. All instructions I can find must be for older utilities. I eventually plugged in my old G Router into an open LAN port on the back of the Airport Extreme and got my printer working when connecting to the old network ID but still can't get XBOX 360 to connect and stay connected. Any help is appreciated.

Ok, thanks for the update. Do you have the Xbox connected to the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet (wire) or by wireless? If wireless, temporarily connect it by Ethernet to verify that you can get connectivity via this method.
If you were using wireless, which of the following is the wireless adapter that you are using?
802.11g or
802.11n?
