Is there a sound card capable of receiving PS3 sound and output it to my PC 7.1 speakers

I don't necessarily want the analog output from the sound card. If it would be easier to output the sound through the motherboard, than so be it. But at the very least, a sound card is needed for the optical input.
I emailed Creative about this and this is what they responded with:
I understand that you would like to know if there is a Creative Sound Card that can decode digital signal from the Playstation 3 via toslink and redirect it out to your surround sound system via analog.
David, please note that Creative Sound Card cannot decode signal from an AC3 or Compress sound from a source such as Playstation 3.
Since, for a setup that involves digital connections such as from Playstation 3, the decoding is done by the "AV Recei'ver" instead of the soundcard. Therefore, if you are trying to obtain surround sound for a stereo source file, you will need to use the upmix feature on your receiver such as Dolby ProLogic II, Dolby ProLogic or DTS Neo: 6 to obtain a virtual surround sound.
It is recommended to connect the Playstation 3 digital output (optical) to an AV receiver and then output it via AV receiver speakers. The decoding will be done on the Playstation 3. By design, our latest Creative Sound Card currently do not have decoding options."
I understood very little of this message, but it basically told me that it's impossible to connect a PS3 to PC speakers (at least with anything from Creative). I highly doubt this is true. At the very least, there must be other manufacturers that can achieve this. Since my speakers aren't that great, I don't even care about sound quality. All I want it surround sound. As mentioned before, even if the PS3 went into the sound card via optical, but came out of my motherboard's sound, that would be fine. I don't need it to input and output from the same sound card.
So if anyone has successfully achieved this, please post what sound card you're using and what configuration you have. Thank you

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:

This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

Why isn't my audio jack microphone not showing in sounds and output on my macbook air...?

hi guys i have recently bought a speedlink spes clip on microphone i plugged it into the 3.5mm jack on the side of my macbook air then i went into system preferences and clicked on sound. then output... but there wasn't anything showing where as if it was showing i would have been able to select my microphone output and not the actually macbook mic. but my new device plugged in isn't showing and i can't use it. i checked the packaging and it says system requirements mac. so I'm good with that because i have one. i am really confused why it isn't showing. i need help please guys. ill be so great full

Is there an Add-on capable of editing HTML pages and saving the website itself on the actual webpage?

I want to know if there is an Add-on for Editing webpages and saving them to the actual website, and you can change it back at anytime, just you the person that edited it.

So making an edit of a website that's only visible to you and that you can change? No I don't think such a thing is possible. You can download the page to your computer and make edits that only you can view.

Are there any PC cards which have sample and hold capability

Are there any PC A/D cards which have sample and hold capabilities up to a 10 Khz sampling rate which we are interested in for modal testing of engine structures. Also if this type of card is available what would be the maximum input channel count of this card. We would be interested in the highest count available up to 64 channels.
A second question: We currently have a 64 channel PCI 6071 capable of 1.25 MS/s throughput. If we are using all 64 channels what would be the interchannel delay between the first and last recorded channel and at what frequency would we have to be sampling to even be able to see the affect of the interchannel delay of this specific card.
This issue has been debated wi
th in our group and your insight would be appreciated as you are the experts in this field.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for using NI Developer Zone.
National Instruments has a product line designed specifically for acquisition of dynamic signals, it is called DSA - Dynamic Signal Analyzers. In according to the description of your application the card that best fits your needs is the NI-4472 that is available in PCI and PXI format. This card is able to acquire 8 channels simultaneously, as opposed to the regular DAQ cards that have a single A/D converter and a multiplexer. The NI-4472 has 8 Delta-Sigma A/D converters one per channel, what results in a better performance than having a single A/D converter in combination with a sample and hold and a multiplexer. To Acquire 64 channels you would have to have 8 boards and synchronize all 64 channels. The Synchronization process is very simple and with a couple of software calls we can synchronize as many as 112 channels for simultaneous acquisition at 102.4K samples per second per channel.
Regarding your second question, the PCI-6071 will sample between channels in a single scan at the maximum sample rate of the board (1.25 MS/s) but the
scan rate, i.e. the rate in which the same channel is sampled is defined by the user. Being that said, we can conclude that the interchannel delay will be the inverse of the 1.25 MS/s clock, or 0.8 micro seconds.
For a 1 KHz sine waveform, this represent a phase delay of 0.288 degrees between consecutive channels. For a channel list of 64 channels each one having the same 1 kHz sine waveform, the phase delay between the first and the last waveform will be 18.432 degrees.
I really recommend the NI-4472 as a very good solution for your application, besides that the combination of the NI-4472 with LabVIEW and the sound and vibration toolset will give you a tremendous tool to solve not only your immediate need but also provide you a system that will be easily modified and adapted for future needs.
If you need more info, feel free to contact me and I can give you more details about this product.
Call 1 800 IEEE488 and ask to speak with the Computer Based Instruments (CBI) support team.

Not unless it goes back online. If it was stolen it may have been restored, in which case it will never appear again in Find My iPhone.

Sound and vibration toolkit using Keithley Card

Hello everyone,
Might be doing a project soon using the LABVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit(1/n octave vibration analysis required) with LABVIEW 6.1(Sorry, try convince my Boss to upgrade). We have a Keithley KPCI-3101 card avaliable to us for the analog input.
Do any of you forsee a problem using a non-NI card with the sound and vibration toolkit? I can find very little on the internet discussing using non-NI cards with the toolkit.
This might sound like a stupid question but I need to be
100% sure that there are no problems.
Thank you for any help you can offer :-)
Cheers
Jurgen

Hello Jurgen,
Of course the integration with National Instruments boards (PCI-4472 or 445x boards) is best suited with the Sound and Vibration Toolkit. However it is possible to use the toolkit without National Instruments hardware. Most of the examples that ship with the toolkit use NI-DAQ data acquisition calls. You need to remove them from the examples and substitute them for the driver vi's that your board uses. There are also a couple of examples that use simulated signals (so there is no hardware at all involved).
One thing to be aware of is the sample rate. Recommended sample rates, that are used in most examples are 51.2 kS/s. You may need to check if your board is capable of doing this.
Also all the functions use the waveform datatype, (which include
s timing information), so you need to convert your array of data to this datatype, using the build waveform function.
Hope this answers your question.
Best regards,
Erik vH.

Need Sound Card Compatible With Intel D975XBX Mobo and Windows 7

Did a search and no joy. I built a home theater computer about 5 years ago around the D975XBX,? I was using the Sigmatel integrated sound via toslink to my receiver without any problems. I installed W7 yesterday only to find that there are no Intel mobo drivers for W7. So before I go throught he hassle and expense of replacing the mobo and processor, are there any sound cards that are compatible with this mobo and W7? I don't do gaming on this machine, or 3D, mainly 5. out to my receiver. Thanks.
Tim?

DWell, I'll answer my own question. Finding it very hard to belei've that a driver wasn't available for the Sigmatel, I upgraded the Bios, then did another seach. Cha-ching, money!
I really like SB cards, but I don't like spending money when I don't have to.
Even though Intel said it stopped supporting?the mono?in '08, the bios was an '09 version. This may be helpful to others who are using this mobo.

Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite with PC Sound card?

Hi all,
I'm new to LabVIEW, so please bear with me.
I would like to take some basic network measurements of a single channel hardware audio device. I have a PCI sound card which I was able to play sound files and receive input with using the sound2 Simultaneous_Sound_IO.vi. I'm wondering if it's possible and how difficult it would be to integrate this VI with the VIs associated with the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite? I've downloaded the trial version of the Measurement Suite and it appears to include all of the measurements I need (frequency response, THD, dynamic range), however they're all designed to work with NI DAQ hardware.
If it is possible, could someone point me in the right direction as far as integrating the two, or even post or direct me towards existing VIs if there are any?
Thanks so much

Which S&V vi's do you mean to be dedicated to NI hardware?
A quick peek into the addon show me waveforms as input and the sound vis have a waveform output.
OK I didn't look at the examples and by habbit ignore the express vis . But maybe you just want to use a program instead of programming your application?

Why is there no sound recording when I capture Video in iMovie?

Sometimes there is sound recording, sometimes there isn't. And I can no longer find the "choose microphone" field that lets me change from the internal mic to an external Yeti. What's going on??
There are no waveforms in the audio field under the video. I've checked all the mute buttons and the connector cables. I've tried both the Yeti and the internal mic. I'm wondering if something in my iMovie got changed when the last update came in. Also, I've been Skyping lately. Did that affect anything? Help!!

Are there PCI thunderbolt cards for mac pro 3.1?

It's that last sentence I'm curious about. "However a MacPro already has much more capability already built in than Thunderbolt can add."
I'm thinking of getting a Mac Pro, but see that it doesn't seem to have Thunderbolt. I'm not sure if I care. The reason for the Mac Pro is that I'm topping out my 8gb RAM 27" iMac capacity with the volume of work going through it, and my tech tells me I'm pushing it too hard. I use it to run a small law office, but usually have about 15 apps open, with lots going on in the network in the background.
Is there any reason to wait until Apple puts Thunderbolt into the Mac Pro?
Thunderbolt will not increase the performance capability of the MacPro. It will add a bus that can be convenient, especially later on when Thunderbolt devices become more common, more mature and better supported - oh, and with more common will come less costly. From a pure performance standpoint the existing PCIe slots are much more capable and cheaper to implement. You would be giving up nothing with a current MacPro.
My opinion. Thunderbolt is really a great move forward in the long run - needed something to replace Firewire and this is it. But there is no reason to wait on Thunderbolt on MacPro - it is redundant.
