Live 5.1 and Windows Media Cen

I'm completely confused. I'm sure I have a SB Li've 5., but my Windows Media Center says I have a Li've Value. The Model is CT4760.
In either case, I'm trying to get Optical Audo to work with 5.. I can get 2 channels out of Optical Audio, but no more. The Creative software only gives me the options for headphones, 2 speakers and 4 speakers. With 4 speakers selected I still only hear 2. No where do I see an option for 5. or to allow AC3 passthrough.
I used this card before with a Linux system and I had 5. working just fine. Am I missing something? Do I not have a Li've 5. card? Am I installing the wrong thing? I downloaded the driver install from here, so I assume its correct. Media Center installs it's own if I don't use that, and it's also for the Value card.
Thanks for any help,

CT4760 is actually..a 4 channel sound card (therefore, I think that's why Windows Media Center Editin detects it as Value card) But it does have 5. Digital Output (not analog)
I don't have hands on experience with MCE with me, but try this.
Go to 'Volume Control' in Accessories, click on Options and turn on 'Advanced Options'
There should be an 'Advanced' Button at the bottom of the master volume slider.
Click that and select "Digital Output Only"
Otherwise, you'll have to try to install the right drivers. Its definitely not SB Li've 5.
But since you are using Digital speakers, I dont think you have to worry too much.

    I have?NOT had the problem of my player not being recognised when connected to my pc and unfortunately I do not know how to solve that problem, sorry, hope some one else can help you with that.

    Well I figured it out. Turns out if you go to Sync(little down arrow)>DEVICE_NAME>Advanced Options>Quality if you leave it on automatic it will transfer wav files, but if you change it (I did without knowing) then the highest quality you're going to get is 92 WMA.

  • CoreCentre and Windows Media Player 9

    I have a problem with CoreCentre and Windows Media Player 9.  When CoreCentre is running, the CD drive stops and starts when I am playing an audio CD with Media Player 9.  If I use any other Cd audio player (eg Creative Mediasource Player) it does not happen.  I like to use Windows Media Player 9 (I am probably one of the few) but do not wish to turn off CoreCentre.
    Can you help me please.  I have asked MSI support staff with no luck and also Microsoft Support (They suggested I go into Safe Mode and see if it still happens - of course it doesn't - I am in Safe Mode! - nothing works!!!).
    I am running Windows XP Pro SP1 with 865Pe Neo2 board, 1GB DDR3200 RAM and Pentium 4 3.0 GHz.
    Sheryl

    Well first of all get out of "safe mode"...It's no fun in there ...No really, I can believe that you are not the only one that this happens to ...You have to understand that "CORE-CENTER" is a resource hog!!..As it  has to be in order to give you that critical info in "real-time"..So I take it that this prob. only happens when you are running the CD or DVD programs?...Do you have your DRAM Voltage set to 2.7 Volts?..As this always seems to help on these MO-BO'S (i865-i875)...And if that does'nt work why not just close down "CORE-CENTER?..Until you are finnished with you CD'S ..Sean REILLY875

  • Which Code of avi can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

    Which Code of avi also can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

    Nevermind ... not that simple apparently. I managed to get one of the avi's in the CS5 project created automatically when opening the original CS4 project to show the entire contents but can't replicate the behavior to another project using the same avi. Here are the media start, end, duration and video in, out duration values for the file. Viewing the avi in the source monitor I can see the full 16+ minutes. Odd disconnect between the 2 sets of values.
    Any idea would be great!
    Thanks,

  • How to view live webcam that use windows media player and java

    I am new to iphone and I have two live webcams that I like to go to and can't get either one on my iphone 3gs. www.ruidoso.net, view live webcam link and www.skiapache.com live webcam link. How can I get to them?? oram I just out of luck.

    You've got to remember that, as powerful as the iPhone is, it's not a desktop computer. So certain things that have been designed for desktop computers may not work the same or at all. The owners of those websites probably never considered anyone wanting to view them on a phone.
    The first webcam you can view on your iPhone by going to http://www.ruidosowebcam.com/camera0.jpg and manually refreshing the page to update the view. (The Java applet just refreshes the page, something they could easily have done in JavaScript for increased compatibility).
    The second one I can't help with, as that one doesn't even work on my desktop computer, but WMV is a proprietary video format from Microsoft, which the iPhone doesn't play. You'd have to ask the website owners to use a more industry standard video format that the iPhone can play.

  • MPEG and Windows Media Playback lost

    Hi,
    Assistance please! I stupidly download and installed MPlayer today. I have now lost any playback of Windows Media format sound and this includes the audio associated with Microsoft's ENTOURAGE email programme. Also, CODEC not found error comes up with WMV files AND some MPEG video files now have no sound. Most of the MPEG will still run on VLC.
    "Something" has corrupted a file, but where? I have re-installed QT and WMP without success. Starting the mac (10.4.4) via another start-up drive WILL play those files correctly. I also did a re-installed (archive install) again without luck, so its something left behind in the Library folder I think.
    Help please as this is driving me mad.
    Colin

    Dave,
    Ok will try Garage Band too. I 'assume' Windows playback and some types of MPEG are converted to a form of midi? I could never work out what form windows media video and audio takes, but did hear that it was a form of mpeg. I assume the sounds with Microsoft's Entourage etc are of the same nature.

  • Creative and Windows Media Pla

    Hi- I'm looking in to getting a MP3 player soon and am currently on bouncing between the iPod 20GB, Creative Zen touch or Zen Micro- I'm mainly concerned with battery life and the sturdiness of the player (and the radio feature on the creatives sounds great too)
    My question is regarding using Windows Media Player with the Creative Zens.. I read somewhere that it is compatible with these players, does anyone use this program with your mp3 player? I really like WMP (so much more than iTunes) and would prefer to use that to the other programs Creative offers with its players.

  • Problems with Ipod and Windows Media Player PLEASE HELP

    Ok i am not sure if this is the correct forum or not but i am having a problem. I have a Windows computer (Yes a windows computer please dont everyone yell at me) and i have a new ipod 30 gig video. Ok well when i put itunes on it changes all my music on my computer gets changed to AAC format and i cannot play music in windows media player. Ok well that is not my big issue. I make videos for church using windows movie maker and i cannot import music because nothing windows can recognize Itunes format which is AAC. well is there anyway so i can use itunes and still use WIndows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker... Any info will be greatly appreciated. THANKS ALL

    I believe Quicktime Pro (which is available for Windoze) is capable of opening any WMP files and then you just export it as iPod format. That is how I get video onto the iPod. The Music and Videos all can be placed onto your iPod through iTunes.
    So, if you are creating videos in your program, and want them on your iPod, then that is how you can do it.
    Videos on your iPod have nothing to do with the formatting of your music. But, as the earlier post stated, change your prefs in iTunes to import as MP3. But, your videos HAVE to be in MP4 or M4V format to work on the iPod.
    Good luck... and I'm a j3susfreak too

  • Ipod and windows media

    Ok I used real player to download and all the music went into the "other" folder, then I used windows media and yet downloaded more but yet it went to the same place.. "other" how can I get my music into the "audio" so that I can listen to it?

    If the music is in a file type compatible with iTunes, drag the file to an open iTunes window. I'm don't know what you mean by the "other" and "audio" folders. If the file format is compatible with iTunes, you can drag it to an iTunes window from any location. Once it is in the iTunes library, you can sync the song to an iPod (or copy it there manually).

  • IPod 5th generation and Windows Media Player

I plug in the Ipod but it still says to connect the device. Is the iPod compatible with the Windows media Player or just iTunes?

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    No, iPods are NOT compatible with Windows Media Player. There are a variety of other third party programs that are compatible with an iPod, but I would not recommend using them for a number of reasons.

    There are several different ways for handling multiple iPods with one computer. One option is to create an entirely new and separate iTunes library. The only downfall to this, is that you will have to manually choose which library to open upon opening iTunes each time. For more help and information regarding these methods, check out this Apple support document.

  • Iphone and windows media player

    I just got the new iphone and would like to load songs from my pc which is windows xp pro. I have windows media player 11. The player does not recognize the device when hooked up. Hope there is an easy solution.

    Hi Dean and welcome to Discussions,
    to use you iPhone with a Windows PC you have to use iTunes for Windows http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/ and also get the iPhone Configuration Utility from there.
    The Windows Media Player is not supported with the iPhone (see requirements here http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html )
