IPhone with Logitech z-5500

Hello guys, here's my question:
if you happened to handle a Logitech z 5500, could you successfully connect it to your iPhone? Because on Apple's site there is declared compatibility with many iPods, but no mention about the iPhone.
I'd like to know it because it's my only portable MP3 player, and if it doesn't support it, what accessory can I buy to connect them?
Thank you very much.

You can connect it through the headphone jack on the iPhone and play music. You may have to go to Airplane Mode to avoid interference.

Surround Mix with Logitech Z-5500 Digital

Hello,
I have a project for a 3D animation short movie, and I'll also make the score and sound effect for it, to make a DVD.
I don't have Logic Pro yet; I have Logic Express.
Is it possible to use a Logitech Z-5500 Digital set to do the surround mix with Logic Pro ? Using the optical digital out ?
I have a very limited budget, so I'm looking for the cheapest solution possible, with the best possible sound.
I'm waiting for a Mac Pro 2.66 with an ATI graphic cards (for Motion and 3D).
Thanks.

can't you pick the surround soundtrack in the control bar that is displayed close to the bottom of the movie window when you start one in iTunes? If theres no surround track, it cannot be done, furthermore, the speakers must be run from a surround home theatre receiver. Messing around with it on one of my desktops, I can choose the surround channel, but since it only has 2 built in speakers, I obviously won't get 5.1 (L/R front, center, L/R rear, and subwoofer). I agree iTunes should have preference that surround is automatically decoded when a surround track is available much like it's a preference in DVD player. I still haven't figured that one out.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme problem with logitech Z-5500 speake

I have just taken deli'very of a new PC fitted with a Sound Blaster X- Fi Xtreme (driver version 6.0..28)
I have this connected to my Logitech Z-5500 5. speaker set.
I am unable to pick up all 5 speakers in any of the effects apart from ?effect: 6 Ch Direct?. Using the entertainment mode (creative software) I can test the speakers and still dont here the centre or rear unless I have the Logitech speakers set to effect 6 Ch Direct.
The other thing is that when in the effect of ?6 Ch direct? I get interference and can here noise coming through the speakers when I move my mouse over icons etc.
Any ideas! Or suggestions?

Problem with logitech Z-5500 with Creative X-Fi when connecting SPDIF

Hi all,
I just purched Logitech Z-5500 speakers and Creative X-FI Titanium and plugged it using SPDIF connection (optical).
I configured everything in my computer to work with SPDIF but still i see in the Z-5500 monitor that it's "Stereo" and i cannot hear DST or surround. The rear speakers do not work!
how should i configure it's
In my previous Realtek audio card i had an option for "speaker fill" and then i got good surround (but not with optical connection).

Problems setting up Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Music card with Logitech Z-5500 Speak

I have searched a lot for information on this and I have been unable to find a solution to
my problem. I recently purchased a new Dell PC with the following items: Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card and Logitech Z-5500 speakers. However, when I tried to connect the 3 analog wires from the central unit into my sound card, only one of them will work at a time. In other words, only one set of speakers will play anything. I am not sure what other options I have. Someone from Best Buy said I needed the box that comes with the Platinum version of X-fi Xtreme but I am not sure where I can order this from. Is it sold seperately anywhere? Clearly I am not going to order another of the same sound card and pay another $200 when the only thing I need is the box. Any suggestions on how to solve this dilemma would be extremely appreciated.

You might want to reinstall the drivers, because it looks like your default speaker settings are set to 2. or whatever non 5. setting it was on. This is because whenever you click on the default settings button, it will reset the speaker setting back to the non-5. speaker setting. Actually, you can do a custom uninstall of the card and just uninstall the volume panel. Then reinstall it. It should ask you what default speaker setting you desire. Set it to 5.. That way you don't have to worry about it defaulting to the wrong speaker settings.

Use iPhone with Logitech Speaker for Public Address?

I have an iPhone 3G and Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere speaker/dock. (Amazing volume and sound quality for such a small package, but of course no deep bass.)
Is there any way to send my voice out through the speakers, when I talk on a microphone plugged into the phone (for example the little microphone that is included with the earbuds)? I have not found any built-in setting for the purpose. There seem to be lots of apps to use the phone as a voice recorder, but I have not found any way to send microphone output through the dock connector in real time.

Thanks for that helpful suggestion. Yes, my speaker has a 3.5 mm input jack, so I should be able to connect the headphone output of my Zoom H2 microphone/recorder to it with an adapter cable. Levels should be compatible.
It would still be nice to be able to plug the microphone into the top of the iPhone, and switch back and forth between voice and music without having to remove the phone from the dock.
I don't have the iPhone SDK, but I expect that it would be easy to route microphone input to dock output. The harder part would be getting the resulting free mini-app through Apple's approval process. Unless someone else who already has the SDK does it first, I may try.

Can't charge iPhone with Logitech speaker dock

Six months ago I bought a "Logitech pure-fi express plus" to play music and charge my iPhone in the Kitchen. Recently the player has stopped charging the phone. I have upated to OS 4, but my wife has not and her iPhone won't charge on it either. Below is the webpage with the specs for the player.
Can anyone help?
http://www.logitech.com/en-hk/speakers-audio/ipod-mp3-speakers/devices/4781

I really think Ives needs to be reigned in. It is ABSURD that the case and charging the phone are incompatible. The case is tight now but is unlikely to remain so if I pry it off every night to charge.
POOR DESIGN, like so much of iO7.

Mac Pro with Logitech Z-5500 Speakers Settings

I have a problem every-time I boot up my computer it uses the internal speakers, so I set the Sound Effects to Digital Out, Output- Digital Out- Built-in OutPut, Input- Digital in Built-in Digital Input after I done that my z-5500 works fine but the next time I boot my computer again it uses the Mac Pro internal speaker instead of the Z-5500 is there any way to save the setting so that I don't have redoing these steps every-time I boot-up my computer, before I installed Snow Leopard I did not have these problems in Leopard but ever sense I installed snow leopard the problems began. Is anyone else having this issue.

Need a 5.1 Sound Card to run with my Logitech Z-5500 speaker sys

Hi everyone,
I would to pick your brains a little please
I have got the Logitech Z-5500 Digital 5. Speaker System.
I would like to purchase a sound card to run with the system but was unsure on what card to get. I obviously need a 5. card, right? So will I need an X-FI or an Audigy? This is where I am getting confused, I got told that the X-FI's are 7. and the Audigy's are 5., I'm not sure if this is true?
Would someone be able to recommend a compatible card please? I have a budget of about ?00 (GBP) or 'about' $90 (USD).
I would like a card that's good for music, games and to watch movies.
Any replies would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advanced,
Tulsi

My fault Catherina, sorry.
Jo6Pak - Thx for your reply and suggestions.
Reihead - Thx again for yours too and your right, those speakers deserve a quality card.
I've got some good news One of my friends has the X-FI Extreme Music card and has let me borrow it in exchange to borrow my PS2 lol just so I can test it out. The good news is that it seems to work!
So far there has been no issues with the card what so ever! I was quite surprised after reading other users comments about the crackling and popping issues with mainly the nForce 4 chipset mobos.
The sound is awesome compared to before Just played Counter Strike for a while to test things out and WOW!!! No issues just quality sound! If I don't get issues with the card, I'll buy it, definitely worth it.
I do have about half of my services disabled and have some personal reg tweaks n things. Maybe that's a benefit. Could also be the x64 bit version of Windows... who knows!
Still early days... I 'could' still get crackling and popping sounds after a while, only time will tell.
I will keep this thread updated with my progress or non progress lol.
Thanks

XFI and Logitech z-5500 connection for DVD film: analog or co

Hi
I already read a lot of posts here but not found the answer.
My question is: in order to watch DVD movie, which is best connection
for Logitech z-5500 to show true surround sound: Analog or digital by coax?
In other words, we will let XFI decode DD and DTS or make XFI to pass through to
Z-5500 to decode itself?
And why?
many thanks and best regard.

Either way will work, but the problem with using the X-Fi as the decoder is that in order to get the correct LFE level, you must use the +5 dB LFE boost; however, this can only be activated when bass redirection is switched on. Since the Z-5500 system has its own bass management, using two crossovers spoils with the linearity of the low frequency region. So for that reason, I tend to use the Z-5500 decoder. It would be nice if Creative could separate the LFE boost from bass redirection in the next drivers, but I guess that won't happen.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS + Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Volume is TOOO low. PLEASE H

I have an Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech z-5500 5. speakers. Everything was working fine and one day the volume was reduced to/0 of what it was supposed to be. The speakers are connected with analog cable (yellow/black/green) and all the connections are right (it was working before). I had the same problem when I installed the sound card at first, I just installed the drivers and the volume was way too low. I went to EAX Console and changed a few options and BANG, volume was normal. Some options on EAX will just make the soundcard stop working, like POP will work but ROCK will mute the sound completely (is it a crappy software?). Now I have the same problem, it works but it sounds like a walkman. I tried removing the drivers and installing it again several times, tried system restore and absolutely nothing works. Next step is re-installing windows and exorcising the sound card. Has this happened to anyone out there, I haven't seen any problems like this yet. Thanks

Hey,
I have a simmilar problem, i have a logitech z-680, and as i want to play audio-dvd my left rear channal has a very low sound. I played a bit in setup and it worked, i cleared my harddisc and installed windows and it worked for a few time, but then this happens. I had this problem that the whole left rear channel was quiet while every activity PC-games/normal stereo music but now is this problem only by the audio-dvd. I dont know whether it s an software problem or an hardware defect. But i think the last one is the cause.... I hope some one out there could help us/me

Audigy 2 ZS - Logitech Z-5500 = NIGHTMA

Hello all,
I have an Audigy 2 ZS (standard, not the Gamer or Platinum editions) and I just upgraded from a Logitech Z-2200 to a Z-5500 speaker system. I -loved- the Z-2200. Absolutely loved it. Because of my high opinion of the 2200, I wound up developing a high opinion for ALL of Logitech's products. I bought myself a MX Duo keyboard, one for my wife, and another set of Z-2200s for a close friend. I recently assumed that if the Z-2200 was good through my Audigy 2 ZS, the Z-5500 had to be earthshaking. That what I read, anyway.
So, I ordered the Z-5500 and received them yesterday.
I spent a couple of hours carefully hooking them up using the supplied 6 channel direct cable, powered them up and...
....was seriously disappointed.
They didn't have the punch that the 2200s had. I had to turn ALL volume settings up to 00% to achei've the same power that the 2200's had at 75%-80%. Maybe that was just me expecting to shattter the windows like my 2200s were on the brink of doing. I had all operational effects, 6 channel, DPL, etc. through that 6 channel input.
Regardless, I figured that I had something wrong with my hookups or set up, so I started making sure that things were proper. I mounted the speakers accordingly on my walls with wall anchors and screws. I went to Radio Shack and bought an RCA to miniplug cable (part number 42-246A). I downloaded all Creative updates for the Audigy 2 ZS card and made the exact settings per this entry in the Logitech knowledgebase here: http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/...hZ2U9MQ**&p_li=
Once I had everything set, I turned everything on and now I have NO sound. NONE. When I press the "input" button to select "Coax", I get "No Digital Data" on the display.
Sure, I can use the 5500 remote to run the test and that works just fine, I get pink noise all the way around so the test works great. After being up all night attempting to find out why I once had semi-weak sound and I now have none with these 5500s, I am at my wit's end. I have checked and rechecked ALL software settings, cables, etc.
I have no idea what to do. I looked all over the Logitech message boards looking for a solution, and I see I am not alone in this problem but no answer has been posted. I am pretty frustrated by all of this. I called Logitech tech support and they told me that the cable I used does not work, even though people on the Logitech forums say it DOES. Logitech support said that with my Audigy 2 ZS card and these speakers, I need to use the supplied 6-channel (3 mini plug) cable and cannot use anything other than an optical cable or a coax-coax cable, which my sound card does not have outputs for.
I think that Logitech's support is very friendly and I love their products as much as I love my Audigy card, but I am questioning this. How can I have one of the higher end cards and sound systems and have them not work together on a higher end input level?
All I want to do is have kick-butt sound system in my home office for MP3 music and DTS/THX/5. movies, so I got a killer card and a killer set of 5. speakers. It is a shame that they do not work together so far. My sound card worked GREAT with my Z-2200s.
I figured I'd post this here, perhaps I can get some decent input.
Can ANYONE help with this? You can tell I am a bit of a newbie with this, so thanks in advance for ANY help anyone can offer.
Jason

Thanks for the reply!

Heh...no "maybe" about it! By "nightmare" I mean satying up until 2 am the other night trying to figuue out what could be wrong.
I have same setup and the sound will blow you pants off...no doubt about it ......reviles anything my XBOX throws at me through my $2000 sound system.
That's what I was expecting. Hence the reason for me being so bummed about the situation. It looks like it will get better, though.
If you wish to use Digital Coax to connect to the Logitech Control unit, then the part you list from Radio shack is not...... I repeat NOT correct.......
Yeah, I found that out from the Logitech tech. There is a bit of misinformation on the Logitech web site. I know they are not obligated to monitor the stuff, they make that pretty clear, but it HInk it would be a good idea if they at least kept bad info off fomr it as much as possible. Easier said than done, I am sure.
get Gold RCA to MiniPlug Mono adaptor...then get a Digital Coax Cable.....for good sound quality......both are $30 bucks total are Radio Crap..... If you want nothing but digital then find the tick boxes in Control Panel and Creative Speaker Setup......tick these and reboot.....you will be either 48 and 96khz sampling rate.... I use 96.....
Thanks! I'll make sure I get the right cables this time. If you happen to know part nubmers, it would be most helptful because I know me, and I know how some Radio Schlock employees are...me going in there and asking for that is about as close to the blind leading the blind as you can get.
the drivers from Creative are buggy as is the in game support for EAX3... I have problems getting that to work properly in some games.
Lucky for me, I am not much of a game player...lately.
div>Note that with Digital stream.....you will not be able to CMSS 3D or any other EAX effects....those are for Analog only....... I have both modes hooked up and the 3wire cable Logitech provides works fine.....hook it up.....run the 5500d's in 6Ch Direct mode and you have amazing CMSS3D mode for playing music.... I have used Itunes and Windows Media 0.....both produce music quality that is amazing in this setup......the CMSS3D is the real deal.
Okay...help me get this straight...
I got this system primarily to listen to music loud enough to make my ears bleed and sound good enough to make me wet my pants, plus watch some kick-butt DTS movies on DVD. Like I said before, I am not as much about games as I used to be. Music and movies is the goal here.
If I am understanding this right, I can have both the 3-miniplug (6 channel) cable AND the Minplug-Mono Adapter/Digital Coax Cable hooked up at the SAME TIME? If that is the case, I would listen to my music (using Winamp) using the 6CH Direct mode (which uses the 3 minplug cable) with CMSS3d for the optimal music experience, and then I would switch over to Coax Digital for watching a DTS movie on DVD? Please let me know if I am correct on this.
Also you can use the Creative DVD Audio player and sampler disc to hear even greater digital fidelity, although analog mode only......Creative is a little slow on their software eng, and didn't do a Digital option for playing this DVDAudio.......<
Is the lack of option for DVD audio a Creative hardware thing or a software thing? If it is a software thing, what do I use to listen to DVD audio through this system?
anymore issue......call me.......800-Neptune
Uh-huh...and who should I ask for if I were to call that number?
Anyway...here's something interesting about the situation...at leas you you MIGHT find this interesting, or you might find a hole in the theory. I do in fact know of a hole in the thoery, but I am not sure how accurate it might be. Read on...
Yesterday, I did what the Logitech tech told me to to... I got out my old 2. Z-2200s and set them up right next to the Z-5500 speakers here in my little home office. I set the volume and subwoofer level on both systems to about 25%.
Then, I grabbed an old portable CD player and put in a disc, played a song and then switched the plugs from one system and then to the other into the CD player to compare sound output. Again, this is what Logitech instructed me to do. I only had to go back and forth twice to realize that something was terribly wrong.
The outcome? My old Z-2200s were TWICE as loud, and had TWICE the sound quality and fullness as the Z-5500s. My old Z-2200s just sounded SO much better.
I did some more testing. I cranked the Z-2200 up a little past halfway and it was about as loud and most people would want to listen to them in a room the size of my home office. Then I switched over to the Z-5500s again and I could crank them to the highest volume level and it was about the same...maybe...in volume.
Now, I might be a newbie but here is one thing I do know...
Z-2200 = 200 watts RMS
Z-5500 = 500 watts RMS
=
Z-5500 > Z-2200
An e-buddy of mine said that it sounded like the amplifier was bad...and it made perfect sense. The Z-2200s sounded like it had an acti've amp, and the Z-5500s didn't.
I got on the phone with Logitech, explained that I did what they told me to do and they said, "Yeah...something is definitely wrong there." and instructed me to get a replacement from the company I bought it from.
Logitech support is great, but getting a replcement from Dell where I bought them from was a 3 hour telephone "nightmare". Ugh...
Anyway, when I get the replecements, I will let you know what happened. Thanks again for the reply and all of your help.
Jason
