Need I/O module to use digital sound with Audigy

Am I understanding this correctly that I need to buy another piece of equiptment to make the sound card work for digital sound? A Digital I/O module for another $5?Seems pretty dumb not to include this.

No, you DON'T need the Digital I/O to use the digital output of your card. Just a plain 3.5mm stereo jack with a pair of RCA connectors on the other end - it will give you the digital coaxial connection. If you want optical digital connection, yes, you need the extra module.And for that speakers, NO, you cannot use a digital connection. Read the manual...Message Edited by SoNic2367 on 08-07-200709:0 PM

Using Digital Out of Audigy SE on Vist

HI Guys!
Following Problem: Got the Audigy SE and the correctly installed Vista Driver. I do get sound by normal speakers. But now I bought the I/O Module for opical link. In normal Windows use, I don't hear anything. It works on WinXP and I can make the Soundblaster to say something if I go to preferences and test DTS but thats it. Does anybody now how to set "Digital Output only"? Please help me!

i am having the exact same issue. i am running windows vista 64 bit. - a month ago i was looking for a cheap, 7. sound card with digital output. i found the audigy SE.- when i recieved it, even though the card said it could do digital outputs, nowhere did it say i had to buy a separate module for it. so now i search for the module and buy it.(on another note why cant this be included, it was like $5. and why don't most of the big name online retailers carry it)- i plug in the module into the sound card, run a coaxial cable from digital output on soundcard to digital input on my reciever. no sound- check settings, disable analog speakers, disable onboard sound. still no sound.- i somehow found my way to a tab which allowed me to test various digital formats. i select a format, hit test, and it worked. i heard sound!? tried another one and it works!- i open a movie file... no sound. i look at the volume manager and there is an indicator saying that sound is being broadcast, but im not hearing anything.- i retest the digital formats. it works.- i open a movie file. no sound. from what i can tell, creative ships a utility that lets you change some setting from 44.8kpbs to 96kpbs or somethingl ike that (sorry i don't know anything about audio, and im having trouble finding the page again). Doing this allows digital sound to work with some devices. But the utility does not work with vista, so we are screwed!?I?can get 5. sound by using the 3 standard jacks and an analog. but they support only front, surround, center/sub. no rear surround support!? And its analog!?PLEASE HELP!

No CD Digital sound in Audigy 2 ZX + X

Hi, I have a problem getting the cd digital sound to work with the audigy 2 ZX on XP64 (latest drivers, installed twice). From the mixer, if I turn off wav and turn on cd digital there is no sound when playing a cd. I have spdif pass through disabled.
The CD player is working, I hooked up a scope to the 2 wires and there is a signal when music exists and none when paused.
Is this an issue with the drivers on XP64 or is there a defect somewhere else?
Thanks for your help

tomb8,
Ahhh, you also have to go into the device manager and disable the "Digital CD Playback" under the properties of the CD/DVD dri've before it will output to the analog / digital connections on the back of the dri've.
All audio from DVD's is done as data. It would never touch that cable regardless. The cable is only used for CD Audio playback when digital extraction is disabled on the dri've.
DVD's have the audio compressed into the MPEG2 format and your DVD playing software handles the audio through to the soundcard. DD decoding is handled by either the DVD playing software or by the soundcard and only the final output is converted to analog (or the DD signal is sent straight to s/pdif out if so configured)

Need help in english to use my iphone4 with orange.fr in france

I am travelling in France with my factory unlocked iphone4. England and Thailand services have been fine but Orange France is a nightmare. They say I can't get 3G on my iphone4 and there is no english speaking support to help me out. My network settings are turned off but my 20 euro credit has either dissappeared or never was there in the first place. Where can I get English support for this company?

Hello
The whole story is a little bit confusing for me. So lets see what you wrote:
>... thinking that it would fix it but it ended up erasing the whole of my computer even windows 7.
Thinking is wrong. What you need is exact info about recovery installation and this can be found in users manuals document. Recovery disc is not like Microsoft installation disc and cannot be used for repair. Recovery disc contains recovery image and can be used for clean OS installation (recovery image installation) only.
> So now I have a computer I can't use
Why you cannot use it? Recovery image installation installs OS again. Which OS is installed after running recovery image installation?
> I have also bought the product recovery disks from toshiba's backup media site
But why if you already have recovery disc that you have used at the beginning of the whole story?
What you need to do is to use this original disc for OS installation.
-start your notebook and press F12 several times to enter BOOT menu
-when the menu is shown put recovery disc into ODD
-select CD/DVD drive in the menu and press ENTER
-follow the menu on the screen
After recovery image installation you will have factory settings again and everything should be OK.

Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
I'd appreciate your help,
Daniel

A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

No Sound when using Digital out with Mac Mini

The Digital out on my mac mini has become seriously unreliable. The sound slider is all the way up but locked, no movement is possible. The Toslink cable shows light, and when plugged into another device the amplifier receives sound.
This is an intermittent problem, for awhile rebooting would make the sound come back, however this has stopped working.
unplug the toslink and the built in speaker plays fine. Sound slider becomes movable.
If you sent the sound slider to 50% then plug the toslink back in it jumps to 100% and all controls ar grayed out and 0 sound.
any troubleshooting tips would be most appreciated as this is my primary audio video device.

Not likely. Think about this: The output is simply a digital stream of bits. Volume does not apply to digital bits... The first place where you can adjust volume will be in an outboard DAC, a preamp or an integrated receiver.
For a great DAC, check out ps audio "digital link III", retails currently for around $695, B stock may be avail for around 550. There is a cheaper quality DAC available from Cambridge Audio "Digital Magic", but it is not in the same league as the PS Audio or other higher cost DACs (such as Benchmark Media's DAC1).
For a fantastic audio system that takes digital audio from a Mac Mini, I have a PS Audio DL III taking Toslink from the Mini and feeding RCA analog into a Zpre from Parasound with a couple of Zamp (zone amps) from Parasound going into very nice bookshelf speakers and in ceiling speakers.
The volume is controlled by the Zpre amp ...As it must be

Can you use surround sound with the built-in optical out on dual 1.8 g5?

Ok here's the thing, I just got the new version of Final Cut Studio, and was wanting to set up my g5 to utilize the surround mixing capabilities of SoundTrack Pro 2.
I have verified that i'm getting 5.1 sound via Apple's DVD Player, but when i go to Applications-> Utilities->Audio MIDI Setup, I cannot configure the system for multiple channels. It only allows me to output stereo.
Is my assumption of being able to use the built-in optical out for 5.1 monitoring incorrect? Do I have to go buy a firewire/usb audio interface?
Info about my system:
I have a Bose Acoustimass 10 5.1 Speaker setup.
I have a Onkyo DR-C500 5.1 Receiver, which does dolby pro logic 2 and dts decoding.
The Onkyo Receiver is hooked up via the spdif optical output of my G5.

Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
The Mac puts out encoded 5.1. It is the function of the amplifier, receiver or decoder to take that signal and turn it into something useful. At minimum you will need a device that can accept that output and turn it into something useful.
Most studios that I am familiar with want to be able to use their own 5.1 decoder, amp and speakers. Juicier sound!

How to use digital trigger with analog I/O

How do I program analog input and/or analog output to start on a digital trigger (PFI pin) on PCI-4451/4551.
I have tried out various configuration and succeeded in starting analog input, simultanuous input and output triggered by the the anlaog input signal. I have also succeded i triggering 4551 from the dedicated EXTTRIG pin.
The problem is to trigger on a selectable PFI pin. I find the help for "AI Trigger Config" and "AO Trigger and Gat Config" misleading - some unsupported features seem to work while selecting PFI pin as source make the PC restart immediately.
I have not been able to find any LabVIEW example that shows how to use PFI pin as trigger input.
Using LabVIEW 7.1, NI-DAQ 7.3 on Windows 2000.
Kind regards / Med venlig hilsen
Torben

Hello
The PCI-4451 does not have any PFI lines. If you look at the user manual in the link beneath you will be able to confirm this by looking at the connector signal discriptions. The same is valid for the PCI-4451
http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/6A32358C53BB15F086256660007392DC?OpenDocument&node=132090_US
The two ways of triggering that you have succeded are the analog triggering and digital triggering that you can peform with the PCI-4451.

Using digital projector with macbook

A basic question from an escaped PC user.
What keystroke is used to tell my macbook to send the display output to an external projector?
I need the equivalent of the F8 key I used on my work supplied PC laptop
I have purchased the link cable so the hardware side is OK .

As usual with a apple you don't need to do anything! I use mine for presentations and you just plug the projector in and hey presto.
You can adjust the screen setting in System prefs, Displays.
If you use iWork, Keynotes is great using this setup. You can run the display on the projector and get a real host of info. up on the MacBook display.

Can you use Sibelius sounds with Logic?

Sibelius comes with it's own orchestral sounds (Kontakt sounds). I know you can buy the Kontakt sounds separately BUT does anyone know if Logic will play the ones that exclusively come with Sibelius. I'm wondering if Sibelius comes with some code that doesn't let it share the instruments?
Anyone able to help?

The plugin only works in Sibelius, as far as I know. It's hard coded that way, because it's a Sibelius extra, not a general purpose plugin for use in other hosts.

Do I need a wireless card to use a router with my iMac or does the built in

I am having ComCast install a router at my home and they tell me I'll need a wireless card. I shouldn't need one with Airport Extreme installed should I?

Right - sort of.
You do need a wireless card to connect to a wireless router. However your Mac already has built-in wireless (almost every iMac does, only the original from 1998 didn't) so you're good to go - you don't need any extras.

Using digital camera with ibook

i have a nikon coolpix 5600 and i cant get it to come up onthe desktop.
my computer recognizes it, when i plug it into the computer (via usb) it automatically opens iphoto to upload the pictures, but it doesnt come up on the desktop or anything. i want it to so that i could upload movies from the camera.
are there any preferences that i'm supposed to set? or is this just going to always be like this and i not be able to use the movie function.
the camera came with a program (picture project) and that used to upload/organize the photos and videos, but it ran very slow and would crash all ther time, so i stopped using and uninstalled it in favor of iphoto.
any advice?

Which version of iPhoto do you have? Version 5 should import movies as well as pictures. You can also use the Image Capture application (in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder) to download the movies and pictures individually.
