Logitech Z-5300 and Audigy ZS 5.1 PROBL

I have read the FAQ. I have searched the posts. I have had this sound card for less than a day and I can't get 5. to test out on the THX or Creative test programs. I can get sound on all the speakers but I think it is stereo. If I swap the cables and test again I can hear the front and back speakers but with it connected correctly I only get the FL and FR. I see this problem on a lot of the other posts but I have yet to see an answer that I haven't tried. I have reseated the cables. I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled off the CD, tested and then installed off the web support. If this is a problem with just Logitech and the Audigy then I guess the Audigy looses because I can take it back. I am a reasonable man so here is your chance to fix this for me and what seem to ba a lot of other people on this board.

Well! ... I started the HP XW8200 this morning after a long pervious evening trying to source out the problem and guess what, the speaker test is now working! I don't know what has changed other than perhaps the driver needs a few extra reboots to config properly. This is something that I have puzzled over since I started working with computers. They are digital. A one or a zero. An on or an off. It should work or not work. They have more moods than most of the people I meet on a daily basis. Perhaps it just needed a good nights sleep.:smileyvery-happy:

PS. Hopefully it will stay working.....:angry:

  • Logitech 5500's and Audigy 2 Plat/

    Man, my head is spinning trying to figure out how to make my Logitech 5500's work with my Audigy Platinum Professional. Had I known it was going to be this much fun I would have done more research and purchased different speakers or a different sound card.
    Anyway... I need to know if I've got this thing hooked up right...
    I've got the analog connections - that's easy.
    On the digital side I've got a coax cable plugged into the control unit and on the other end I've got a coax cable plugged into an adapter that reduces size enough to fit in the digital out socket on the back of the box. Music comes out of all four speakers and it sounds ok.
    Is this better than analog?
    And, from this point what do I have to do to get surround sound?
    One final question - would it make life a lot easier if I just got a set of Creative speakers?
    Many thanks,
    Thomas

    FWIW, I can't get an optical connection out of this setup to save my life. I've got every kind of optical cable and connector you can imagine and I've plugged every combination into ever available port on the SB. No joy...
    And here's a question that may reveal my ignorance... How can you tell for sure DTS / surround sound is being outputted?
    But anyway...
    Yes, I get sound out of all speakers with 6 channel direct using the creative speaker tests. With the coax connection I only get sound out of front left and front right but as I understand it that's correct.
    Playing movies with the coax connection and the analog disconnected the pod says:
    Input: Coax
    Effect: Digital
    If I go into AudioHQ, and turn off the Audigy encoder and then go to Speaker settings and change it to Digital output the sound is pretty good.
    I guess it's hooked up properly..wish I knew for sure..

  • Can't have 5.1 channels with logitech Z-5300 and Sound Blaster X-fi Platinum HD

    Hello everyone.
    As the subject says, I can't hear all the 5.1 speakers with the X-fi. I believe is not a technical issue, rather than a connection issue, anyone can help me?
    What I did was buy a RCA cable and connect it from the back of the X-fi to a converter from RCA to the 3 normal green, orange and black cables and those to the back of the Z-5300.
    I configure both in Windows and the Creative Panel that I will use 5.1 connection but in the test I only hear both front speakers.
    I have an updated Windows 7 x64 OS and SB drivers.
    Thank you very much.

    Hey Kok thank you so much for your reply.
    I understand your message, but I hope I can make it work, already did a big investment. What about this decorer?:
    [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0057UNPVO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=AD7C755W08DM6" >http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0057UNPVO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=AD7C755W08DM6[/url]
    It says that you can input the 3 5.1 signals from the speakers (green, orange and black) and transform it to digital through optical cable. Can it work?
    Or maybe this one?

    What do you think?
    Thanks once again kok !!

  • Conflicting Channel Assignments -- Xtreme Gamer X-Fi and Logitech Z-5300 Speak

    I do know there is a similar post here about the Z-5500 series of speakers, and I do understand they are in the same family, but my problem is neither fixable with the suggestions in the post, nor is it the same as those people have posted. Thus I have deemed mine unique.
    My current rig:
    Intel Quad Core Extreme 2.6ghz
    Asus Striker Extreme nForce motherboard
    4GB Mushkin DDR RAM
    500 GB Hard Dri've
    Creative Labs Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer
    2x EVGA GeForce 8800 Ultra
    Windows Vista 64-bit
    Logitech Z-5300 5. Speaker System
    So I had some problems initially getting surround sound to work on this computer (but nothing like what I am experiencing now), but finally after a day of messing around and tweaking I had awesome, crisp sound for about a month now. All 5 speakers and the sub in this system were performing correctly. All of a sudden today, I changed NOTHING, I was actually in the middle of listening to music and the sound started cutting in and out on certain speakers.
    I rebooted, still had the same issue. I decided to check the connectivity of every speaker and the stereo mini-plugs that link the speaker system to the sound card. Everything checked out, I ran the diagnostics agent and the THX console and the channel test worked fine. I put music back on and the same thing happened, in frustration I checked the wires. I grabbed the wires which connect computer to speakers (subwoofer) and jiggling the wires made the sound cut in and out on 2 speakers (but not 2 speakers which share the same channel, it was the RL and FL.) Thinking that I had crunched a wire I swapped them with 3 other mini-plugs...same thing happened. I then ran the diagnostic/speaker assignment agent several times, getting completely and utterly nonsensical output. Subwoofer noises coming from the RR, no center channel at all ever etc. The bizarre assignments actually kept changing themselves too.
    From here on I entered a six-hour flurry of frustrating trials. I did the common-sense stuff, checked connections (because I do have some speakers extended with a coupling and RCA cable), powered system and speakers down several times. Finally I deemed it may be a Vista/software issue (since Vista thought that just for sillies the other day it would randomly uninstall one of my video cards, I thought I could be having similar issues) I uninstalled/reinstalled the latest X-fi drivers and all the components. Still the issue persisted, any time I ran a channel test the speaker assignments were totally wrong, with no way to correct them.
    I then resigned myself to the fact it must be a hardware issue, maybe I had knocked my sound card out slightly, or maybe the it was just too hot (its placement in my case is rather poor, the only place it fits is between the two monstrous GeForce 8800s which are just heatbricks.) I powered down my case, let things cool off, popped the card out and back in. Did another driver reinstall...same issues...just different channels scrambled.
    For the last hour now the results of THX speaker tests in the audio console have at least been consistent (before it was just random scrambling) now I get the FL, no center sound, front right, rear right comes from the subwoofer, no rear left, no subwoofer. I have no explanation for any of this. I had no issues until today, and I gotta say this one ambushed me. I have never experienced anything more random or stubborn.
    Any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated, as much as spending even more money on this hobby pains me, I am very close to attempting to purchase new speakers just to give me some peace of mind.

    There was aWindows update with some sound drivers recently, that may explain why this happened unexpectedly recently. Try rolling back your drivers. Question, you mention Vista and XP64, which do you have?I can't get 5. under XP64 with 4gig of RAM, if you had yours working under XP64 can I get a copy of your old driver?

  • Will Xbox, Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers and Audigy 2 NX combo decode dolby digit

    Hi there
    I have a Xbox, Logitech X-530 5. speaker system and Audigy 2 NX sound card. I want Audigy 2 NX sound card to decode dolby digital from its optical-in? (optical in is from the XBOX) .. Is it possible? If yes, how? If not, what is the solution? Can Extigy external sound card do it's
    Also, can be Audigy 2 NX external sound card be stand alone instead of always being connected to the PC? I just want it to be connected to XBOX to decode dolby digital 5...
    Thanks!

    it is relevant for me to post in here as someone was asking if the aud 2 zs plat dri'ves optical in or coaxial in could be used for connecting up to an external source sch as dvd player, xbox.
    And i am in technical supports hand about my prouducts, so if yo u ban me i will be insisting they take action against you , as i have a valid reason for posting into these forums.
    I have spent over ?3,000 on creative proucts, and the last 2 things i purchased from, creative cost ?450 the gigaworks s 750 speakers, and the audigy 2 zs platinum.
    And therefore i am entitled to speak the truth.
    Some one asked if the connection is possible, i am not the only person using the hardware that is having decoding lag whilst using optical in on li've dri've, it's just that not many people that have this hardware are using it like this, so they don't realise that they will have problems if they ever decide to use external dvd players, instead of the software ones like powerdvd windvd etc.
    I am forwarding this entire thread to creative technical support guy that i am dealing with so he can see i am not doing anything wrong, you need to look at my other post with regards to the audigy 2 li've dri've having the exact pcb model number revisions etc, as the audigy2 zs platinum li've dri've, and that the combination of the audigy 2 li've dri've not being a connection that creative will offer support for, which is another thing i will be asking creative when i phone tech support up tomorrow, as i want to speak to someone higher up about this.
    And you say you are testing this at home and cannot replicate this issue.
    Can i ask what speakers you are using.
    What soundcard are you using, are you using the aud 2zs plat version not the plat pro version.
    Also what make of dvd player are you using to play dvds on, what spdif option your using in external dvd player ?
    And what are the model numbers on your audigy 2 zs platinum li've dri've motherboard ?
    Also what driver version are you using for the zs plat card ?
    As i have used the supplied disc version, and updated to latest versions makes no difference.

  • 875 Neo and Audigy 2 annoyance.

    I am running 875 Neo and Audigy 2 on Win XP Pro SP1. The Audigy 2 is running on the latest XP driver from Creative. DirectX is 9.0B. Everything works just fine, no crashes or anything. I do have a minor annoyance with the Audigy 2. On rare occasion, I have a thumping sound from my subwoofer, the kind of sound when the soundcard is initializing itself when Win XP Pro is loading. The subwoofer is fine as I have tested it without being connected to the PC. At first, I thought that it was due to the Audigy 2 sharing IRQ with the Intel RAID controller. I have shifted the Audigy 2 so that it only uses an IRQ without sharing but the same annoyance persists.
    Does anyone have the same problem and how to overcome it?

  • FN -Function- key not working between my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and my ipad2; any suggestions?

    My new Bluetooth keyboard -Logitech- features a Function FN key that's not working, even though the rest of the letter, #s and signs are. Thank you for looking into it!

    Here we go again!  The return key on my iPad stopped working again.
    I don't think I posted more information here but on the Logitech site.  Basically, rather than go through all the steps of resetting the iPad, I used canned air to blow out under the return key.  I had to lift the key a bit with a pen knife to get better air flow.  I think I've done this twice.
    Well, this morning the return key stopped working as well as the |\ key.  I sprayed and sprayed with no success.  This  time I had no system upgrade: just one day working and the next not.
    This time I tried another trick that will be cumbersome.  I used the wireless keyboard from my wife's iMac.  The bad news is that the pairing wouldn't hold.  I finally figured out that the Apple wireless keyboard was still listed on the iMac.  Once I unpaired the keyboard from the iMac I was able to pair it with my iPad.
    The return key and  the |\ key work fine.
    It's going to be awkward carrying around the Apple wireless keyboard, but it does fit over the Logitech keyboard.  And I'll have to remember to carry extra AA batteries:(

  • Connectivity Issues regarding Logitech C920 Webcam and Windows 8.1

    Recently, I purchased a Logitech C920 webcam. Successfully downloaded Skype (most recent version 77.85) and passed the microphone and speaker test. My current version of Windows is 8.1 (64-bit) The speaker and microphone application for Skype is online and passed. However, the webcam application for Skype does not connect. In addition, the Windows Camera application for Windows 8.1 successfully works. All three capabilities of the Windows camera application works: sound, recording and camera connectivity. I was able to sucessfully to download the latest version of the Logitech Webcam Software for the HD Pro Webcam C920. After rebooting Windows, I was able to load the Logitech C920 icon and corresponding executable to the desktop. However, all webchat applications besides the Windows supplied Camera application have issues with the Webcam connectivity:
    Yahoo Messenger
    Skype
    Paltalk
    Logitech
    After downloading the Logitech executable, The Windows 8.1 is still unable to detect C920 webcam. With the Logitech Webcam Software, it just doesn't detect it at all. The whole thing is just black or blank. I know the camera is functional though, because it works perfectly fine in the Windows 8.1 Camera app. Any assistance and help regarding this issue will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello @lmhjcr , Welcome back to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I noticed your posts about the error message "the device installation is incomplete" you are seeing when you attempt to install your printer on Windows 8.1. I am going to share some of my suggestions with you.
    1. Check that Internet Explorer pop-up blockers are turned off before downloading the installer
    Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker: How do I turn off Pop-up Blocker?
    Try to install
    2. If you're running McAfee Live Safe or any other firewall, please temporarily disable the "real time scanning".
    How to disable realtime scans
    Try the install
    3. Go to the start screen (you may also press the windows key + R to open the run box) and type %WINDIR% this should show the windows folder.
    Click on the folder and scroll until you see files. Look for a filed named "HPWINS*.DAT" (the * is for a number that varies) remove this file and try the installation.
    Try the install

  • Another 5300 and mp4 problem w/ Nokia response

    Hi,
    With the help of a friend, I've tried several mp4 videos on my 5300, and all of them (encoded with different programs) have a sync problem between the video and the audio (audio is delayed). Since we used several encoders, we assume the problem's with the phone's decoder.
    I wrote to Nokia Portugal, letting them know of this, and the several steps we took, etc. They replied stating that the 5300 doesn't support mp4 files... so I replied to them with this link:
    http://forum.nokia.com/devices/5300 and even pasting into the e-mail the relevant bit of that page, where it states the 5300 reads those files (how else would it even show the video, even if there's the sync problem). Sooooo... they wrote to me again, stating once more that the 5300 isn't compatible with the mp4... hilarious, and sad.
    I'm thinking of either contacting Nokia in Finland or (most likely to start with) going to a Nokia store here in Lisbon and talking to them about it.
    Just wanted to share

    hi... FWIW, I tried 2 things this afternoon. Nero Recode and the Nokia Multimedia viewer (part of PCSuite).
    Nero Recode -> Profile Portable AVC, res 176x144, video bitrate 127 kbps. Bad sync. Video playback slow
    Nokia MM -> 176x144 mp4. Good sync. Poorer video quality than the file produced by Nero.
    With the video res limited to 176x144, and given that it takes nearly an hour to recode an hour's worth of video, I doubt anything is worth watching on the phone. At least not TV series or so... maybe a talkshow yeah...

  • Gigaworks and audigy 2 zs platinum lip sync is

    Can smeone form creative please help me with this issue.
    I have loads of external dvd players, a pacific, an xbox, 4 yamadas, accoustic solutions, scanvision, etc etc.
    This is what is happenning, i am connecting the pacific dvd players optical out (or coaxial) It makes no difference as they both do it.
    Press play to watch dvd, and start watching movie, the longer the movie plays and even in the first 5 minutes of playback the lip sync starts to go out, this is with the use installed decoder checked on soundcard and doly digital decode slected instead of default, spdif byass.
    If i stop or pause the dvd and press play the lip sysnc comes back in, then it gradually goes out again.
    Now it is not the dvd player. as it does this with the xbox as well, and the yamada, etc etc, this is on a clean installation of win xp pro, the only things that are in are chipset drivers, gfx card driver and the full installation of the audigy 2 zs platinum driver disc.
    I connect the optical out or the coaxial ut to the optical in on aud 2 zs plat li've bay, and the same with the coaxial in on aud 2 zs plat li've bay, but only one at a time.
    Can someone tell me why this is doing this, i am 98% certain i do not get this from using aux 2 in.
    Also it always says unknown or invalid spdif signal in the decoder options.
    Also it fails to initialize the dolby digital decoding when inserting the coaxial cable sometimes or rather 8 times out of ten, i have to either restart dvd player, or restart computer to get sound back.
    I am not happy with either the s750 speakers whilst playing dvds or the audigy 2 zs card, the speakers are not very loud whilst playing most dvds and teh lip sync is not acceptable, i have used a dtt2200 and sb li've 5. witht the same dvd players and i never had this issue, granted this was on another computer, so i wil be try the s750 with the new computers onboard 7. sound chip to see if i get same issues, then i will be moving the sound card into another pci slot but i should not have to do this, as creative should have already tried this card in all available pci slots in all manufacturers motherboards to test the compatibility, if this issue remains can someone at creative tell me if they will give me a refund for the hardware of gigaworks s750 and audigy 2 zs platinum as www.dabs.co.uk will not give me a refund for these the speakers have only been in use for at most 2 weeks but are 3 weeks old and aud 2 card is about 0 weeks old but have only just been tested on my new computer as of at most 4 days as thats went i got all the other hardware to build up computer and i am most unhappy that dabs tell me they only do a refund or replacement upto 28 days, so creative it looks like the refunding of my money will fall to your company, but then after all it is your hardware, so you maybe can force dabs into giving me a refund , as after all it is your hardware and you will be able to reimburse dabs .

    I tried it into all available pci slots on a fresh clean install of windows xp even the exclusi've pci slot was used, and even ehen it was in the other pci slots, it was not sharing an irq with anything anyways, it still does it whilst decodint the Dolby Digital Stream.
    Have tried the driver updates for the card and it still does it.
    I have the audigy 2 zs platinum witht the li've dri've I/O .
    I have taken this card out and put my soundblaster 5. platinum card in, and the li've dri've IR that came with that card, and using the optical in or the coaxial in the same way as the Audigy 2 zs plat li've dri've ,and it decodes the 5. with perfect lip sync, however this is not true dolby digital decdong on the sb 5. card as you have to use the CMSS feature anyways on this card, so even though the ac-3 decode is ticked, it aint true Dolby Digital Decoding anyways.
    So i took that card out, and put in my older audigy Platinum 5. card, and teh li've dri've that came with that card, and formatted windows, etc, then after xp went back in installed the audigy drivers etc, then connected the coaxial cable from external dvd player and This also plays the 5. with perfect lip sync, but again however this is not true dolby digital decoding on the audgy card, even tehough the option is selected ac-3 spdif decode in audio hq, You still have to use the CMSS feature to get kind of 5..
    I know this to be true as when the 7. Audigy 2 zs plat card is in, when you play dvd from external dvd and use the optical or the coaxial to the fron of the li've dri've that came with audigy 2 zs plat, you get the Dolby Digital Logo appearring on the monitor screen to tell you that it is decoding etc, and teh Quality is very good and you can hear that it is a Dolby Digital 5. stream, APART FROM THE FACT THAT THE AUDIO GOES OUT OF SYNC WITH THE PICTURE.
    So I know it has to be down to the actual hardware of the audigy 2 zs plat soundcard or the hardware in the Li've dri've that came with the audigy 2 zs plat soundcard. Its a shame that a lot more people that have bought this pruduct ie the audigy 2 zs platinum version, would not test there li've dri've soundcards dolby digital decoding using an external dvd player, so as we could get a better idea of the problem, AS there are only a couple of other users on this forum that have this harware and they have the same problem, so is it because these cards are faulty, or is it inherint in the hardware that cannot be fixed, cos it aint in the software, but how can we find out when no one seems to be able to tell for sure that a driver update will fix it.
    Also Does the Audigy 2 zs platinum Pro suffer from this same lip sync issue whilst using the external dvd players optical out to the optical in to decode dolby digital 5. streams.
    Saying as i spent over ?400 on the s750 gigaworks speakers and the Audigy 2 zs platinum soundcard, and that they are only 3-4 months old, and have just been installed into my computer (ie just opened within the last 2 weeks) i am really shocked to learn that nothing can be done and i have wasted a lot of money to get something that cannot do what it is advertised to do, And www.dabs .co.uk are reluctant to refund me my money on the basis that they only do refunds upto 28 days, so in my situation although i purchased the goods 3-4 months ago, i have only just got round to teseting the goods, as i needed the other bits to build computer up , like the case mnotherboard etc etc.
    Come on creative, whats the score with this hardware.

    It looks like it's a mislabelling by the store... It should be called PC2-5300. AFAIK, if it's DDR2, it should be PC2.
    W520: i7-2720QM, Q2000M at 1080/688/1376, 21GB RAM, 500GB + 750GB HDD, FHD screen
    X61T: L7500, 3GB RAM, 500GB HDD, XGA screen, Ultrabase
    Y3P: 5Y70, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, QHD+ screen

  • Difference between PC2 5300 and 5400?

    Hello
    I'm shopping for RAM at newegg and I came across G.SKill memory...they have two offerings of 1gig modules, one rated 5300 and the other 5400. The two are nearly identical in price and both are rated 667.
    Can anyone tell me the differene between the two
    Thanks

    I don't see any difference except for those 5300 and 5400 number, and on other online store sites the 5400 is sellable as an upgrade option for intel Mac.
    Make sure you bought it from the site that stated clearly for Mac Book support and have an easy return policy if your memory fail or incompatible.
    One other thing, I believe it only term of the memory manufacture categorized their product because the excact number are 667 x 8 = 5336 and the manufacture to put the number round it down to 5300
    And on the other hand the pure 5400 contain chipset that runs at 675 mhz so 675 x 8 = 5400, but it downward compatible with 667 mhz. so it also save for your mac book
