Logitech Z-5500 + Audigy 2 ZS = DIGITAL PROBLEM

Today I buy Logitech Z-5500 Digital, i have Audigy 2 ZS clasic
I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM I CANNOT CONECT THE SPEAKER WITH optical cabel.
WHY ? HELP ME PLEASE !!!!
I buy Optical TOSLINK gold cabel and conet him to sound card, and to the Digital SoundTouch? Control Center, then turn on, and do nothing the control center will not detect the conection over optical cabel.
on display its this: Input: DIRECT 96-24
i dont know what do ?
its reqaied a special conector cable to the audigy or what ?
( i enable in windows all digital conection )
( maybe its wrong the conector on sound card, or in sound control center, i buy 3 others cables and nothing )
PS: sorry for me english its not main language i from slovakia

You say you have the Direct input selected? That's the wrong one. There is a button on the remote that says "Optical" you need to press to switch to optical input.
You are using the optical output on the Audigy dri've bay aren't you? The digital output on the back of the Audigy soundcard is not an optical output, it's for digital coax.

Logitech Z-5500, Audigy 2 ZS / X-Fi

I'm in the market of getting a surround sound system . Right now I have the Logitech Z-5500Logitech Z-5500 in mind. And I am waiting for the new Creative X-FiCreative X-Fi sound cards to come out and see if its "Xtreme Fidelity" is really worth the $$$.
I still need some questions to be cleared up:
I had problems with Audigy 2 Value cards before and couldn't get it detected in my Neo2 Plat (heard many others are having the same problem), is there any issues with the Audigy 2 ZS and Neo2 Plat?
My network NIC card was not detected either, is there any fixes/explanations to the PCI detection problems for Neo2 Plat ?
Any suggestions of other surround sound systems? (all types that can be used on tv and comp will be fine, budget is around 290$USD or 350$CAD)

The 51million-transistor chip provides 24 times as much processing power as the Audigy processor, Creative said. The system uses 24-bit quantisation running at 96kHz, and pushes the signal-to-noise ratio to between 109bB and 116dB. It also incorporates CMSS 3D, the latest version of Creative's sound 'spatialisation' process, which simulates surround sound audio on a pair of earphones or speakers. The latest version of Creative's EAX system, the 128-voice EAX Advanced HD 5.0, is built in too.
To enhance 'lesser' sound formats, X-Fi uses a 136dB "virtually transparent" sample-rate converter to "analyse and identify which parts of the audio stream have been restricted or damaged during the [conversion] to 16-bit and then the data compression stage to MP3 or WMA formats". The upshot, said Creative, are improved dynamics and enhanced low and high frequencies, making for "cleaner, richer sound".
"Sound Blaster X-Fi heralds the beginning of a new epoch in audio, where X-Fi enabled audio products will eventually and completely replace the old hi-fi equipment in the home," said Creative's ebullient chairman and CEO Sim Wong Hoo.
Creative is pitching Xtreme Fidelity as an alternative to the likes of Super Audio CD (SACD) and DVD Audio. Upgrade your music to the next generation of sound quality without having to buy new discs, it says, though we note it doesn't mention how much more room you'll need on your hard drive to store all this higher-quality material.
The XtremeMusic is the base model, providing the standard 109bD SNR. In addition to the standard X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity feature set, the board includes Creative's MediaSource 3 software, which will convert users' digital music collections to Xtreme Fidelity's own format and fine-tune the audio chip's output.
The Platinum builds on the XtremeMusic a drive-bay mounted front-facing controller and port-replicator. It also includes an infra-red remote control and Entertainment Center software. The Fatal1ty board enables EAX Advanced HD 5.0 and CMSS 3D for gaming. The board incorporates 64MB of what Creative calls "X-RAM" high-speed audio-specific memory.
The top-end Elite Pro board provides the full 116bD SNR and incorporates 64MB of X-RAM. It also features a built-in pre-amp for direct recording, and high-impedance inputs for electric guitars.
Creative said the $400 Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro, the $280 Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS, the $200 Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum and the $130 Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic will go on sale in the US this month. ®

Audigy 2 zs to Logitech z-5500 digita

can't get digital connection:
this is what i bought:
Radio shack gold series PCM Digital Audio Cable
radio shack Stereo to mono audio adapter
this is what i've done:
Set to digital only
played a digital cd with the cd rom connected to the digital in port on the sound card
all i get is a the z-5500 telling me "No Digital Data"
please help!
i'm also having a problem with major distortion via clicking popping cracking, you name it i've got it, i did a headphone test and it seems it's coming from the 3rd audio out port
and i have all updates, i've redone my comp and reinstalled everything audio, problem persists. does it sound like i have to move on to a new card or what?
thanks for any help!

Yep, this is wonderfull and anybody that has a receiver with 5. analog inputs allready knows how to connect it. All the problems that apear on this forum is because the average receiver (that costs under 2-300$) DOESN'T have analog 5. inputs so people cannot have surround sound in games...

Please Help! Audigy 2 ZS coaxal conection to Logitech Z - 5500

Please help! I can't connect Audigy's digital autput to speaker's digital input, - they are different. I have a coaxial cable with mono plug, it fits to digital input of the speakers but doesn't fit to output of the audio card, because the card's ouput are most complicated (stereo or some else). I thoudgt i found the way out. I used an adapter thet transfers signal from one stereo plug to two mono plugs - right and left. I attached stereo plug of the adapter to card's digital output and one of two plugs from other end to the digital input of the speakers. So get the soud, but i though suspect thet i don't get full-fledged sound, after all the second channal is inactive, and if i swap right channel to left the sound differs.
How can i get full 5.1 digital sound Audigy 2 ZS / Logitech Z - 5500

i am 00% sure everything is connected correctly. When I use the Creative SB audigy 2 ZS software to test the speakers, on the "channel" buttom, i only hear sound coming from ?front left? and ?front right?, the rears and sub have no sound, I have set to ?6 channel? on the speaker control pad, and have set to 5. on Audigy 2 ZS, I had tried to disable the decoder from the sound card, but the problem still exist. When I set the speaker control pad to ?direct? effect on ?6 channel?, and test with the Audigy, I can hear ?front rightcenter?..all working, but when I listen to MP3 and CD, there are no sound come from the center speaker (on windows xp pro), But when I listen to MP3 and CD on Windows 98 (I have 2 systems installed on my computer), sound come from all speakers. Therefore, I believe that the sound card has problem running on Windows XP pro.

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

Need Help Configuring Audigy 2 ZS w/ Logitech Z-5500 Speaksers (Pre-bundled from De

I just received my Dell XPS Gen 5 system that I configured with the Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z-5500 speakers and as others before me, I can't get them configured to work together. My support tech at Dell is working on the issue, but I haven't heard from him yet. From reading the posts in this forum and others across the Internet, I am not alone in getting the sound card and speakers to work.
So far I purchased the digital coax cable along with the /8" mono-to-mono miniplug so that I can plug the coax cable into the back of the sound card's digital out connector/din.
The logitech control pod shows the input as Coax, but that there is no digital signal being sent to it. I also have no sound from the speakers.
I've read various ways to fix this issue, some of which talk about changing the sound card settings and dvd software settings (Catherina, the administrator for this forum posted some stuff); however, I don't know where to do this in my Creative software. One of the posts says to go to Start/Programs/Creative/Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS/Creative AudioHQ and click on the Device Controls icon and then select the Decoder tab and change the SPDIF settings or something. I don't have a Decoder tab as an option. I do notice on the Bit Accurate Mode tab that the section for S/PDIF input signal monitoring shows that the S/PDIF-In signal is an "Unknown or invalid signal."
Could someone please tell me specifically what I need to do and in what software (Creative, Logitech's, my DVD software) to get this set up? Again, all I've done is hooked up the Logitech control pod to the sound card's digital out via a digital coax cable. I haven't done anything else other than upgrade the Creative software.

Digital Audio w/Logitech Z-5500

Try as I might, I can't seem to get any digital audio out of the Mac Mini to my Logitech Z-5500 speaker system. I don't have the same problem with analog audio, just digital. It is my understanding that the combination of digital out directly from the Mini and the decoding built-in the Logitech should work ... maybe I am being a bit optimistic.
My current configuration is that I have the Mini connected directly to the Z-5500 control panel with a TOSLINK cable with the appropriate 3.5 mm adapter which I got from the Apple Store.
Here's what I tried so far with no success:
o Played several store-purchased DVDs, with known Digital Dolby and/or DTS audio tracks via Apple's DVD Player. I have also verified that the DVD Player was configured to use the "Digital Out - Built-in Output" setting for Audio output. The Z-5500 control panel shows a "No Digital Data" message. (To verify that the DVDs were good, I also played them from a Vista PC that was connected to the same Z-5500 speakers -- no problem.)
o Played music/movie sources from iTunes, knowing that I would be exercising QuickTime for audio output. Knowing that QT doesn't support digital natively, I have installed Perian. Within Perian, I have tried all the Audio Output options (Stereo, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, & Multi-Channel). Still getting the "No Digital Data" message.
o Next I tried reconfiguring the Audio Output setting in Audio MIDI Setup. I verified the Source was set for Digital Out, and tried each of the Format combinations that were available. Still getting the "No Digital Data" message.
o Finally, I tried the com.cod3r.a52codec.plist "hack," creating a new variable named "attemptPassthrough" and setting is value to "1." Same message.
So, I must be missing something and can certainly appreciate any words of wisdom from anyone with similar experiences with the Mini and the Z-5500.
Thanks in advance.

No problems. Any/all advice is truly appreciated.
So the PC can play audio through those speakers? That's a clue. Can you see the settings that PC is using to talk?
Yes, the PC can play any audio source (games, DVDs, Media Player, etc.) digitally to these speakers. The primary difference that I can think of is the PC employs a Creative Xi-Fi Fatal1ty Platinum PCI card which is Dolby Digital Live capable for encoding whereas I am using the encoder(s) (DVD player, Perian, etc.) on the Mini.
Did you look at the "Configure Speakers" button in Audio Midi Setup to verify that it is configured for multi-channel output?
Hmm, you may be onto something here. Yes, I did check to see that the Audio Output was set for Encoded Digital, but I didn't confirm multi-channel under Configure Speakers. Selecting this option and going to the Multichannel tab will only allow me to select "Stereo." All the other selections are grayed-out. In addition, when I do select "Encoded Digital" for Audio Output Format, both the Default & System Output windows display "Unknown device" instead of "Built-in Output."
Are those cables Apple branded? Something about the length of the mini-plug on some brands IIRC.
I believe so. I did get them directly from the online Apple Store. They're approximately 3' in length and off-white in color. Part number on the Packing List was given as: TL955LL/A and their description was: XTREMEMAC TOSLINK OPTICAL AUDIOACCS
Thanks again!

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.

Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z-5500, TOO easy to setup ;) read on if you have issu

Well The first thing I did was ensure that S/PDIF passthrough was enabled thus to allow my speakers to do all the decoding. I was only using the 3 wires to start with. Green/black/brown,,,ish ;P
It worked perfectly right off that bat.
Then I finally got the digital coax audio cable ( no optical for me as I dont have the rack ) at first I got nothing but stereo. So I go into my DVD player software setting ( Nvidia's pure DVD decoder )
NOTE : I highly reconmend this player, trust me its perfect.
I also ensured that within the Nvidia's decoder settings ( opening the puredecoder itself and bypassing WMP0 ) enableing S/PDIF.
Still only stereo, grrrr. min of thinking I open WMP0, I then NAV to pure decoder setting and using anolg all this time it was set to pass the Audio to " PC SPEAKERS ". This is not what I have, HECK NO.
The Z-5500 running via a digital cable is not understood as PC, its understood as a "RECEIVER".
Thus setting the output to S/PDIF to RECEIVER, hey presto " COAX - Digital - DTS " reads the dissplay on the Z-5500. But hang on, the Vocal that SHOULD ONLY run throught the centre speaker is coming from the F/R - F/L. Hmmm, ok, to easy i'll change the audio flow from data to audio,
There it is, 5. - DTS - DTS es - THX all 00% working.
Ok, the point to this thread is,, well there is no point but follow what I have done here with your setup if you have issues getting a pure digital signal and then it should all work out great.
On a side note. Games are not a raw digital sound signal so playing a game with COAX or Optical may,, well will only come from the F/R - F/L. Games must be run in anolg, the 3 colour wires.
So I have both the 3 coloured wires and the COAX audio cable both hooked up. I just switch from Direct ( anolog ) for games and music and then COAX for DVD's.
Also, Im not 00% sure if I have a problem ( I dont think so though ) but the Graphic equalizer wont work with digital when watching a movie and also when listerning to music. So music is best run via the anolog cables so you can use the equalizer.
When Running, say a DVD player into you digital input you may need to enable digital recording as I think that as far as everything in concerned when running a digital or anolog source into your sound card you are more or less recording so ensure DIGITAL recording is enabled. I only think of this as it was the only way to run a musical instrument through a friends PC, was enable recording. We did not record anything but it was the only way we got sound. Any correction would be great thx
Alrighty then. I hope I have been just a tad helpful.

Yep, this is wonderfull and anybody that has a receiver with 5. analog inputs allready knows how to connect it. All the problems that apear on this forum is because the average receiver (that costs under 2-300$) DOESN'T have analog 5. inputs so people cannot have surround sound in games...

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum & Logitech Z-5500 Digtial Speake

Does anyone really know how to set up digital sound with this configuration?
I have found the cables for enabling digital sound. I went with a Monster Standard THX Certified Digital Coax RCA to RCA with an RCA to stereo miniplug. The system detects Coax and setups up accordingly. However, with my soundcard speaker setup, all sounds are produced from front speakers and I have tried every setting under control panel, Creative Volume Control Panel, and AudioHQ to get the speakers set up properly. Any assistance in resolving this would be appreciated. I purchased the Z-5500 speakers specifically for the great surround sound they can produce but am saddened that I cannot get it to work. Please advise.

Hmmm.... did I say I was illiterate?! Don't think so! Yes I have read just about every post I can. I have since determined that I am not alone with this problem. Why is it that some consumers experience no problems and the rest of us are left to fend for ourselves? Do I not have the right soundcard to take advantage of the superior sound? I think not. Rather than criticize, how about giving some constructi've solutions? If not, then bow out and keep your posts to yourself.

What are you talking about? Did I say you were illiterate - No, or perhaps you misread my post!
It was a simple question, not criticism! Some people miss that sticky.
You haven't said exactly what you are trying to do. You just mentioned you only get stereo using coax; in most circumstances that's normal. Since you aren't illiterate, you will have discovered that SPDIF connections only carry stereo PCM signals; so CMSS upmixing, the speaker test, games, EAX environmental effects and using the soundcard or DVD software to decode AC3 will not give you 5. over the coax connection. These are all uncompressed PCM sources and the coax cable doesn't have enough bandwidth to carry all the channels. If you are using the Z-5500 as the decoder and are having problems with Dolby/DTS passthrough, then does the Z-5500 display the Dolby Digital/DTS logo when you play a DVD? If not, then it's not receiving the raw data, and assuming you have disabled the soundcard's internal decoder, then either haven't enabled SPDIF output in the DVD software, or it has a bug. You may want to try a different DVD player to eliminate that possibility. AC3Filter ver 0.7b with WMP0 will work if you enable SPDIF in the AC3Filter options.

Use Logitech Z-5500 Digital

Is it possible to use the Logitech Z-5500 Digital 5.1 soundspeakers with the iMac? I'm planning to buy one but I wanna be sure that I can use the soundspeakers.
Thank you.

This thread might be a little old, but i'll still respond to it anyways. I just recently purchased the logitech z-5500 speakers from Dell, and it came in the next day. The iMac, at least the new ones, have a optical output (the headphone jack) and the z-5500 have a optical input. So I bought these two items and I was set for 5.1 digital surround sound!!
