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.

    Hello milkisoo,
    Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused. 
    As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment.  However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear.  This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
    It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order,  resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed.  Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
    Thank you for posting.

  • I need help configuring three products: WRVS4400N, WAG325N and WVC200

    Hello,
    I want your help in three linksys products as mentioned below:
    WAG325N ADSL2+ Router
    WVC200 PTZ CAMERA
    WRVS4400N VPN Router
    The computer connections and configuration of above linksys products which I am working with and which are connected with the above three linksys products at present are as follows:
    1) I have one server and one laptop.
    2) Laptop has two wireless adapters which I use to connect to the routers.
    3) The server is connected to the WRVS4400N Router through one of the four ethernet ports mentioned on backside of the WRVS4400N Router. The DHCP of this router is disabled by me and the router's default IP 192.168.1.1 was changed to 192.168.1.12
    4) The WRVS4400N router is connected to the Wag325N router for internet access to the server and server is connected to WRVS4400N Router as mentioned in point number 3 above.
    5) The WAG325N router is setup as per the instructions mentioned that came with the CD of this router. The only change that I have modified is the router's default IP. I have changed the default IP of WAG325N from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.13 and DHCP is enabled on this router.
    The help that I want is step by step as follows:
    1) I want to configure the both routers in such a way so that I can access them from anywhere across the world i.e. remotely using internet.
    2) I have WVC200 Camera which I setup according to instructions mentioned in the CD and also configured the DDNS service. But when the " RJ45 Cable is connected " to my WAG325N router and Camera, then only the camera works properly. What I want is that after the setup is completed, I want to remove the RJ45 Cable connected from my camera to router and use the camera wirelessly from any location within the range of my above mentioned WAG325N router. I need flexibility to use my camera without cable connections from any location and any rooms of my house. I also configured the port forwarding and DDNS properly. The only problem is that if I remove the Cable after the setup of camera is finished, then the camera access is not working on LAN or internet(through DDNS). Whereas the same works on LAN and internet using the DDNS service, when the cable is physically connected to the WAG325N router. Also I want one more thing additionally other then this. I want to use this camera wirelessly by configuring the port forwarding options on both routers at a same time(i.e. simultaneously at once on WRVS4400N and WAG325N).
    3) Now as two DHCP cannot work at a same time and as my routers are connected with each other, So I have disabled the DHCP on WRVS4400N. Here I need help so that DHCP can be enabled on both at a same time. Because if the DHCP is not enabled on WRVS4400N then I have to give IP to the server which is connected with server. If I enable the DHCP then there are two DHCP's at a same time on same network and thus problems occurs in internet access to the server. So, what should I do in such a way so that I do not have to give any IP to my server and set it to automatic.
    4) This question is just for my knowledge so that I can use the above mentioned linksys purchases upto full extent possible in future. I want to know what is VPN and how is it usefull? What is the difference between VPN and VPN tunnel? How can VPN be used to access all my network resources connected with my server  in the above situation where my server is connected to WRVS4400N which in turn is connected to WAG325N?
    Thanks !
    Sincerely

    Ahmedabad, India.

    for question number 1:
    you said that your main router is WAG325N, for you to remotely access the 2nd router is for you to forward the IP addr [192.168.1.12] on your first router and change its management port of your second router that is located on either the security tab or the administration tab on its User Interface
    to access your first router open and Internet Explorer and enter
    http://[public IP addr]:[management port]
    the PUBLIC IP or INTERNET IP is located on the status page of your router
    to access your second router just change the management port to
    ex.
    http://66.77.88.99:8080 first router
    http://66.77.88.99:8081 second router
    for question number 2:
    make sure that you have configured all wireless settings on both your camera and your main router WAG235N, once done save settings and power down your camera and power it back up.
    for question number 3:
    for you to enable DHCP on both routers your connection can go like so...
    from a regular port of your main router going to the INTERNET port of your second router [this way you can enable DHCP on both routers]. INTERNET is no problem, your cesond router will be able to get connection
    for question number 4:
    VPN - Virtual Private Network
    VPN tunnel -is/are connections from router to router [gateway to gateway]
    VPN is used to connect a diff network on a diff location for you to have access to the shared filed [it is like a file sharing through the internet]
    for you to be able to use VPN tunnel you have to connect to a different VPN router on a diff location. In that way you can get access to the other network 

  • Need help configuring VPN on RV120W Router (WiTopia VPN)

    Hello Cisco Community,
    I need some help configuring a VPN from WiTopia on my RV120W router. I am trying to make it so that if any device connects to the router it can automatically connect to the VPN from WiTopia.
    Please note that the VPN plan includes PPTP, L2TP, & IPSEC VPN types.
     Is this possible? And if so, how?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    If WiTopia is providing only client to gateway VPN, where WiTopia is the gateway allowing connections to clients, than you will not be able to configure RV120 to connect to it. RV120 in its VPN configurations cannot be configured to be a client. 
    The only tunnel where can play the role of the connecting part is IPSec gateway to gateway, when in the IKE policy the Direction type is Initiator and the Exchange mode is Aggressive. And you will need to receive all additional configuration parameters from WiTopia -the Encryption, Authentication Algorithm, PFS, SA lifetime and so on. But this means that WiTopia have to provide gateway to gateway VPN connection.

    trying a shortcut on this one but I recently started a new job and thrown in the deep end here and need to learn this asdm 5.2 for asa product from scratch with nothing more than the manual that come with the cd . My Cisco knowledge is from 2001 when i did half of a ccna course.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    I'm not a security specialist but here is how I had it set up at home:
    Essentially a NAT and a rule forwarding the port are needed. In this particular case I had an Oracle server running and a person requested remote access. So, for example, the source address was his external IP and the destination was the Oracle's external IP. For the NAT the source was the internal IP of the Oracle server and the interface was Outside.
    Hope this points you in the right direction.

  • Need help configuring Aiport Extreme A1034 to optimize network signal.

    Greetings, I am a very loyal mac user from back in the days of the Quadra 650. I have torn apart and fixed most macs for the last 13, but I must say configuring this wireless network has got me stumped. Any help would be gladly appreciated.
    I went from a ibook 1 Ghz with a plastic case to a aluminum powerbook g4 1.67 to find out that the metal case greatly diminished the computers ability to receive a wifi signal from my Rv park. I then decided to buy an Airport Extreme A1034 that has the antenna port and then bought a Hawking 15db directional antenna. My intention was to have the Airport Base station receive the 802.11b wifi signal sent out from the office of the RV park through the Hawking antenna, and then have the base station take that signal it received and send that high speed wifi signal to the airport card in my Powerbook G4. Sounds simple enough, I thought it would be. I have found that using Airport set up assistant doesn't give me that option. I then proceeded to get into the workings of the Airport Admin Utility. I have found myself ready to pull my hair out trying to configure the 6 different tabs being, Airport , Internet, Network, Port Mapping, Access control, and WDS.
    I do know that everything in the Airport tab is correct. The big problem I think is between the Internet, Network and WDS tabs. It seems that the Airport base station was basically made to have a high speed connection plugged into it via ethernet and then the base station broadcasts to host computers such as my PowerBook G4. My initial thought was to connect via Airport WDS in the internet tab and then set my powerbook to connect directly to the base station through the airport card. I read up on this via Apples Designing Airport networks that came on the Airport installation CD. It talked in detail about setting up the WDS tab to do something like I want but it still involves a hard wired ethernet connection at the start of it. I have also played around extensively with the Network control panel and the sharing control panel , I thought about turning the airport card inside my powerbook into a software or virtual base station and then try some sort of WDS relay. Through all this I had the Airport extreme go none responsive on me and not letting me log in. That's another story of 10 hours of **** fixing it, but i did. Even the reset button stopped working for a while. As of now I can access everything everywhere. I also have ALL the IP addresses Hardware(MAC) address, subnet masks and router addresses for every location in this proposed wireless chain. I just need someone to end this stressful nightmare. They say you learn through trial and error, that is how I learned most of my computer skills over the decades, that and Applecare certified tech training many years ago, But it doesn't help anyone if I stick a large knife through my base station. I can provide a phone number if your willing to call. My email is [email protected] . If your in the San Diego area, I can get ya free passes to the nudist colony where I live, if your in for a new adventure in turn for setting up this network for me. Check out http://www.deanzasprings.com . its where I live.

    1. First, can someone confirm that the Extreme card be used as a WDS main base?
    Sorry, but no you cannot use the AirPort Extreme card in a WDS as either a main, relay or remote base station. It does not support this function.

  • Need help configuring Cisco/Linksys wireless router to extend wi-fi signal to living room

    My U-verse wireless gateway is in the back of our house. We live in an old 1920's home with solid wood walls. For our macbooks, we get a pretty decent signal, but my wife's iPad 2 get's poor wi-fi speeds. I bought a Cisco/Linksys WRT160N wireless N broadband router. I have a wired connection in my living room (going to a 4 port switch) then connected to my DVR. I tried hooking up the new router but ended up getting no signal on the iPad. In fact, it caused other issues. I ended up disconnecting it and re-booting my gateway. All came back fine. This wireless router replaces a similar unit that went out in after a power failure, so I know this can be done, but I forget exactly how I confiured the old one. I would like it to "extend" my signal to the living room, but I am also willing to create a new network (different SSID). Do I need to turn of DHCP? Are there any web sites that can assist me in configuring the router? I wish I didn't have to deal with this. The signal from the RG is great when you are in the back room (20+ down). But my wife gets about 3 down on her iPad in the living room. Thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
    I was doing some research on how this can be done. It does not appear there is an option in the Cisco router to set it up as an access point, but there are several options you can do to extend your network. 
    The first thing you can do is just set it up as a router behind router setup, and you will just have two separate networks. Make sure the DHCP pool does not conflict with the U-verse's gateway of 192.168.1.x. 
    The second thing you can do is connect the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on your Cisco router instead of using the internet port. This should make it work like a smart switch. 
    With both setups, you want to probably change the SSID, network key, and wireless security settings to the same thing for wireless roaming abilities. That way, anyone that configures their wireless connection will be connected to both networks. Just make sure the wireless channels are not the same, and I would suggest having them at least 5 apart.
    Hope this helps.

  • Need help configuring VPN - problems accessing the networks

    Hi everyone, hope someone can help me out here.
    I'm administering the network for our small company. We basically have two sets of machines - public ones with fixed net addresses (mail, web, dns servers, etc), and private ones behind a wireless router/nat.
    Our main need here is to be able to VPN in to the public side, in particular, the mailserver, so that we can get around all the stupid things that get done to SMTP when we connect at the BedBug Inn ("Free wifi, administered by gibbons").
    Secondarily, it would be nice to be able to connect to and browse some of the internal machines.
    So here is what I did:
    * Installed 10.4.10 Server on a machine with two ethernet interfaces, one that has a public IP address, the other connects into the private network. When I'm actually at that machine, things work fine - I can browse the private network shares, connect to the net, etc.
    * Configured VPN. I have no problems getting a VPN connection, both sides are happy. The VPN assigns incoming clients IP addresses in the private network IP range, but outside those assigned by the wireless router's NAT.
    * Added 192.168.2.1/255 (the private network) and 12.17.29.193/224 (the public network) to the Network Routing Definition box under VPN/Settings/Client Information.
    However, here's where it all falls down. Once the VPN is established, I can't connect to any of the public machines, and the only private-side device that seems to respond is the Wireless/NAT box (A Belkin N1). So the only thing I can do is administer the Belkin remotely, which, while nice, is not exactly what I had in mind.
    Doing a traceroute while VPN is active to my mailserver shows the first hop direct to the VPN machine, then off into * * * heaven (though I have no idea if traceroute works over VPN!).
    One curious note: when I change the order of the Network Routing Definitions so that the public network comes first, and the private one second, I can't contact the Belkin box.
    Any advice, oh wise and powerful masters of technology?
    Various, but the server is running on a G4   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I said:
    "let's assume I VPN to the wireless box"
    You replied:
    "That's not correct as it is not the device running the VPN endpoint - in this case. "
    But wouldn't I have to (on the VPN client) specify the public IP of the wireless box in order connect (because the packets are forwarded) to the actual OS X box running the VPN? Otherwise, it can't see it.
    Part of the problem I have is that I can't dedicate a whole machine to VPN. The OS X machine running VPN is also running DNS, and will eventually run our mailserver and perhaps FTP, web, etc, as I slowly migrate stuff to it.
    So this machine has to have a public IP address. It cannot be hidden behind the wireless NAT. And it seems to me that this is the crux of the problem. What I think you are telling me is that if the VPN machine was entirely hidden behind the wireless NAT, and had no direct public (WAN) interface, then since all the packets destined for the outside world (including my public servers)would have to go through the NAT, and all would be OK.
    If so, then it seems to me that the best solution is to use something like OpenVPN on another OS X (not OS X Server, since I only have one of those) machine in the private network. Since the incoming VPN traffic will be Mac only, it shouldn't be an issue, L2TP-only is fine.
    "Otherwise you have to run NAT and the firewall in the VPN server too and use private IPs for VPN clients - or use "only" it (remove the other NAT box and put it on the LAN only). Using only one device for NAT/gw means less configuration."
    It is entirely unclear to me, in my setup, what effect turning on NAT on the VPN box (or perhaps, just IP forwarding) would have -- and if I do turn on NAT, would I still have the VPN assign IP's to clients in the internal private network's range, or would I use a different range (ie: private is 192.168.237.xxx, VPN assigns 192.168.239.xxx) and expect the NAT to handle the conversion?
    I'm a bit leery of just trying it and seeing what happens because it if mucks things up so badly that the server becomes unreachable (via server admin), I'll have to schlep down to the office to fix it.
    "Other things to consider is "bottlenecks" between your LAN and WAN."
    Not a real issue. We have a small office, and a relatively small pipe to the internet. Most of the traffic from that pipe is from the public machines anyway. The traffic that goes through the wireless router is basically websurfing and hitting the mailserver.
    I could, of course, use the VPN OS X machine as the NAT/DHCP server, and hang the wireless router off the internal network as a simple access point. But would that resolve all the VPN issues?
    Once again, thanks for your helpful and prompt replies.

  • Need help configuring Attribute Change in WLS 6.1

    Hi there,
    I did all it said in the documentation, lacking any sight of an SNMP
    trap. I want to receive a SNMP trap if the
    InvalidLoginAttemptsTotalCount changes (MBean: ServerSecurityRuntime).
    I use
    Attribute MBean Type: ServerSecurityRuntime
    Attribute MBean Name:
    petstore:Location=petstoreServer,Name=petstoreServer,Type=ServerSecurityRuntime
    Attribute Name: InvalidLoginAttemptsTotalCount
    I enabled SNMP, configure my TrapHost and started my trapdaemon. But I
    don't get any trap even though I increased the counter by doing some
    logins with the wrong password. Parallel to my attribute change I also
    configured a counter monitor on the same attribute, with the same
    disappointing result =:-(
    Can anyone help ?
    Greetings,
    Alex

    You need to set a target for the pool. Without target
    pool service won't start. Also you need to provide
    initial and maximum size for the pool.

    Hi Slava, thanks for the reply. Here is the connection pool definition asextracted
    from config.xml. Do you see any errors in this which would cause theexception
    mentioned below?

    Hi,
    I need to create a connection pool in WLS 7. Here are the specificsof my
    environment:
    1. RDBMS: Oracle 8i
    2. Driver I want to use: Oracle thin 8.17 (provided with WLS 7)
    3. IP address of machine on which database resides: 192.168.0.5
    4. Port number: 1521
    5. Name of database: MyDB
    6. user: scott
    7. password: tiger
    Given the above,I do not know exactly what to fill out in the
    following
    fields
    that appear in the Admin Console's connection pool creation form:
    1. Name of connection pool (OK, this one I know!)
    2. URL string (exactly what should it be, given above info?)
    3. Driver Classname (I want to use Oracle thin 8.17, so what shouldI fill
    here?)
    4. Properties (exactly what should I fill here, given above info?)
    5. ACL Name (completely stumped here! Documentation says ACLs havebeen
    replaced
    by policies in WLS 7 - so what to fill here?)
    Could someone please help me correctly fill out these fields usingthe
    information
    I provided in the first paragraph.
    BTW, I'm logged into WLS as Administrator.
    Much obliged,

  • Need Help Configuring My Email

    I'm a first time BB user and bought the Torch about a month ago. When I try configuring my email by accessing email accounts from the setup, once the email setup page opens, I can see the following text followed by these options:
    If you want to access your email settings or you changed your device, log in.
    Username 
    Password
    Forgot Password
    Remember Password
    Continue
    Which username and password is this?
    I have tried to access this using my BB ID and password and that turns up a prompt saying either the username or password is invalid. I've also tried using the Forgotten Password link which says the pwd has been sent to my device but nothing is received on the handheld.
    Please help. How do I set up my mail??
    Thanks!
    FireWind

    If you have never setup your personal BIS account for personal email to the device before... you won't yet have a username and password. You need to set up new, not as an existing user.
