Logitech Z-5500

Hi there!
How can I connect my fifth gen video ipod to Logitech Z-5500 Digital 5.1 speakers?
cheers

The same way you would connect them to a computer...
Based on pictures I can see, I would say that the audio input jack is on the back of the controller (Thing with screen and silver knob) Plug a cable into the far left Jack on the back of the controller into the headphones port on your iPod with a patch cable (Probably a cable with a green plug that came with the speakers) Note that the iPod doesn't give off surround sound through the headphones jack so it will only play out of the two front speakers.

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.
G4 1.42Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

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.

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

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.

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

<SPAN>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.<SPAN> 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.<SPAN> Therefore, I believe that the sound card has problem running on Windows XP pro.

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.

Best Setup for Platinum X-Fi w/ Logitech Z-5500?

? Hi all,
Pardon my ignorance in this subject as audio is not my forte. After a bit of research on my own I've got a lot of conflicting information so I'm hoping things could be clarified for me by some kind soul that may also use these speakers:
I just received my Logitech Z-5500 speakers to compliment my X-Fi Platinum. Naturally I'd like to get the best sound from them for PC gaming and music. I have them currently connected via Fiber Optic to the front panel S/PDIF port. On the pod I have it set to Optical Input/Stereo x2. In the Creative console I have it set to use External Decoder for DTS/Dolby. Music sounds good to my ears. Is this the best way however to get the best quality? Are there other settings I should be aware of in Vista or elsewhere? More importantly I suppose, is there any difference connecting to the front panel port instead of the onboard flexijack?
Any help would be much appreciated!?

Sokarsg check @PurePC
Valdamax
here is link http://buy.soundblaster.com/
yes every sound card on the market is doing DDL/DTS via software but these are encoders and decoders DD/DTS are also via software but it don't matter at all.
Im using this combo for movies DTS Interacti've + AC3filter for decoding, works great and sound as good as standard decoders in X-fi or even better as it has many more options to play with and the DAC in Z-5500 it's the same class as X-fi dac but has 6 channels instead of 8ch.
For me, sound is better over spdif with this speakers, sound it's clearer and sharper and I like that
Yes it's doing true 5. as long? as it gets 5. signal for example from game or movie encoded in 5. but if you play stereo sound it will upmix stereo to 5./7. through CMSS or DTS Neo and you will get multichannel output so X-fi is outputting true 5. and now will even do 5. over spdif with DDL/DTS pack a year ago X-fi could only output stereo over spdif?
sorry for my English

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

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!!

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.
