Play AC3 5.1 Sound with a 7.1 system on all speak

I have a 7. soundcard (Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS) and a 7. speaker system (Creative Labs Gigaworks S750). Because todays movies have only 5. sound (no 7.), not all speakers are used. In the settings of my soundcard-software (AC3 settings), I can configure, that in case of 5. contents, the surround signal is played on the side AND back speakers. When I watch a DVD and (for example in PowerDVD) set the audio settings to SPDIF, this works (but not with the settings 5. or 7.). But for example with DivX movies with AC3 sound, this does NOT work. When I set the output mode to 5. in the freeware software "AC3filter", the surround signal is only on the back speakers, setting it to SPDIF, the sound is lagging, so it does not work.
Now I'm looking for a possibility, to make 5. contents always use the side AND back speakers for the surround channel. Does anyone knows a solution?

rums.creative.com/creativelabs/view_profile?user.id=36829" target=top>Kanuki[/url]: I set the AC3Filter settings to "Dolby ProLogic II" and "PCM 24bit" (I also tried "PCM Float"), but I then I have only stereo (all 7 speakers are used).
By using the upmix feature of my speaker system (5.=>7.), it works, but then the surround channels are very low (too quiet) and it does not sound very good. So this no suitable solution.
rums.creative.com/creativelabs/view_profile?user.id=2047]<SPAN>Shingo-Y[/url]: I use the "Mediaplayer classic", very great software! I set the AC3Filter to "Prefer other decoder" and now the PowerDVD codec/filter is used. Then it works, when setting the audio output to SPDIF. But the sound starts ca. 5 seconds after the video and the video is lagging a little bit.

Loss of sound with the Gigaworks S750 system

Hi,
I just recently purchased a Gigaworks S750 speaker system and I ran into a problem. Every-so-often, randomly, my entire system will just stop playing any sound. This last for a random amount of time (5 second to 30 mins). I've triple checked the wires and even taken the system down and re-set it up. I know it'ss not the sound card (recently purchased Audigy 2 ZS) and it'ss not the drivers (updated them many times). I know it'ss a problem with the speaker system itself as I split the signal from my soundcard out to both my headphones and my speakers and my headphones continue to work during the outages. When I plug my headphones into the jack on the control unit of the S750 during an outage, the sound plays through them. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Riley

It turns out that I was wrong about one thing, once the USB port on the right side of my computer stops working for the US-122, it seems to shut down until I restart the computer. I thought that it worked after the US-122 went down and was unplugged because another device will receive power from the port when plugged in. It turns out that although the new device will power up, it won't be recognized by the computer. I appreciate any help or ideas. Thanks.

All of my emails have vanished from inboxes on ipad and servers - is this a problem with the ipad operating system?, All of my emails have vanished from inboxes on ipad and servers - is this a problem with the ipad operating system?

Last night I went to check my emails on my ipad and noticed that all of my inboxes (gmail, yahoo and exchange) were completely empty. I logged on to each individual site on my computer and the inboxes were empty there as well, with no trace of the lost messages in any trash folders or other folders. Obviously this is completely unacceptable as I have lost hundreds of important emails. Upon searching online I found that other people have experienced the same exact thing but apple has provided no explanation. As the only device that I use to access these 3 email accounts is my ipad I feel like it must have come from there. The chance of all 3 servers malfunctioning and clearing my inboxes at exactly the same moment last night is too ridiculous to contemplate, despite being suggested by the customer service advisor that I just spoke to. And I have no other evidence that my accounts have been compromised, and they have separate usernames and passwords anyway. Has this happened to anyone else? Or can anyone provide any sort of explanation? Thank you

You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

Just installed lion itune plays but makes no sound thur computer. works fine thur airport devices

I have just done the same upgrade to Windows7 and I have no sound from the headphone jack. Also when I plug into it, I don't get the old Realtek Audio evaluation screen for audio setup.
However I do not use headphones, as I have been using a RCA jack to plug from the headphones output jack to
a portilble shortwave radio that I have utilized the 6 inch woofer for the past three years since buying the laptop new, for better output and base sound from the radio speaker while simultaneously running the stereo built-in speakers on the laptop.
Can someone tell me that I should just update the laptop audio card by re-installing the original Realtek Audio Driver? Is that easily accessible here in the official Toshiba site? Also if possible, please inform me of other driver updates that would most likely need re-installation processes after this Windows 7 update.
Thank you for any info,

Gaps while playing AC3 Sound through SPDIF on KT6-Delta FISR

Hi everybody,
I'm one of those lucky guys with a KT6-Delta FISR Board :D equipped with the C-Media 9739A OnBoard Soundchip and a S-Bracket from my old K7T266 Pro2 ( MS-6380 ) mainboard.
It works great. The only problem is, when I try to play
AC3-encoded Sound directly through SPDIF there are irregular gaps ( length = about half a second ) where no signal reaches my hifi system. Playing normal PCM-encoded Sound works fine, just AC3 is the problem.
I have the latest driver, the latest bios, the latest chipset driver from via & the latest Windows XP Prof. updates. :]
I also tried different AC3 Filters ( from WinFast DVD, PowerDVD and the free ac3filter ) and a fresh WinXP Prof. installation. But nothing worked.
Always these stupid gaps. ;(
The mysterious thing is: With my old MB and an extra pci soundcard with C-Media CMI8378 Chipset and optical SPDIF it works great.
Yeah, I know I could use the old one, but the KT6 OnBoard chip has some benefits :]
Some information about my system:
- Athlon XP1800@1800(133x11,5) ( Palomino Core )
- Cooling: Copper Silent 2 TC by Arctic Cooling
- Enermax power supply ( +3,3V/35A, +5V/44A, +12V/15A)
- NVidia GeForce TI4600 from Leadtek ( i forgot: latest driver )
- Western Digital WD1200JB HDD (120GB,7200 RPM,8MB Cache )
- RAM: 256 MB PC2100, CL2 by Apacer
- Home-theatre system: Sony STR-KSL5 ( dts,dolby digital/pro logic II, digital cinema sound, 2x optical digital input, 1x coaxial digital input )
- Connection between PC and hifi system: optical
Has anyone the same problem or maybe a solution or a suggestion ? Would be nice then, when he or she posts it here )

A little mistake: The S-Bracket is from the KT4 Ultra FISR - Board ( MS-6590 ), sorry for that
@osnavi:
I don't know whether it's okay or not. I just thought, the S-Bracket is just a cable extension of the onboard pin-connector ( means: there are no necessary parts in it - except the current-optical coverter for optical out - and the whole functionality is on the board ).
Have you any idea, whether there's another S-Bracket for the KT6 series ?
@maesus:
I've tested all latest available drivers ( both from www.cmedia.com.tw and from MSI via LiveUpdate3 ). All of them produced this gap.
Both drivers where tested with Coax out and Optical out.
I also tried to increase the PCI Latency in BIOS to give the sound chip more time for using the bus and therefore more time to transfer data. It didn't work, too.
I will now try the following:
- decreasing the FSB to 100 MHz ( just an idea , maybe it helps )
- installing a generic ac'97 audio driver (in case something like this exists )
- well, bang my head on my hifi system
Any suggestions are still welcomed )

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

Firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result.

Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

Why does 10.5.0.142 update playback sound as if it were being played through scuba diver mic with a power saw in the background?

What in the world have they done now? After down loading your latest iTunes update (10.5.0.142) the podcasts and radio and any music stored on the iTunes sounds as if it were being played through scuba diver mic with a power saw in the background - nothing can be understood. CD play back is fine. Please tell me how fix this or how to go back to the previous version.

Same problem here. Sounds like Zarvox on my iMac, but way worse. Gonna do a bit of research around iTunes Support site. I should have learned a long time ago--wait a few days before updating. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING!!!!!

No sound with Firefox. PC sound is OK. DVD's play sound fine. Firefox stopped.

There is no sound with Firefox 5.0.1 or prior version (updated Firefox in attempt to fix). PC sound work fine. Play Solitaire, sound OK. Play DVD, sound is OK. Not in Firefox. Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash (twice) to no avail. Firefox says all plug ins are up to date.

Hi there,
UPDATE2:
Apparently using another Firefox profile the plugin-container.exe process is no longer take too much memory. However I'm currently seeing a little increase in using resources like threads and memory allocated.
It seems to me that the plugin-container.exe process and plugins installed don't work very well together. Sometimes the firefox.exe process still exists even when I had exited from the main menu (Exit).
Hoever I'm not going to continue this "test" since it is going to take too much time for me.
This thread could be intended as closed for me.
Thanks Chris.

No sound with my audiobooks though seems playing on iPhone 4

Do you have any sound? Do you hear the startup chime? Does iTunes play audio, for example? Is the same true of the built-in speakers and the headphone port? If you use the Accounts System Preference to create a new user and log out and then log in as the new user, does the new user get sound with those applications?
If you "zap the PRAM" you will reset the general system volume, but those applications may each have a volume of their own. If the system volume is up and the application volume is down, you still won't hear anything. You can reset the PRAM by restarting and holding down on the Apple-option-p-r keys all at the same time. Keep holding them down until you hear the startup chime for the third time. Then let go of the keys and allow the iBook to continue starting up.

I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????

Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on.

Hi mikefrompoland,
For more information about 5.1 Surround Sound in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful (it is primarily aimed at Mac users, but the settings in Windows should be similar):

Note: For surround sound to work, the content being played must be encoded to support it.

I have surround sound with my LCD TV. Will my new iPad into an HDML connection be able transmit surround sound via Utube, iTunes or whatever?

I have surround sound with my LCD TV. Will my new iPad into HDML connection and Utube, iTunes etc. produce surround sound?

ATV definitely supports AC3 DD 5.1... etc, but definately not through AirPlay, only streamed through the inet.
I also found, in the case of Netflix, that the AC3 is preserved in the highest bandwidth mode but not available in the lowest. (frankly i did not test the intermediate bandwidth)
I was quite pleased with the sound and picture from Netflix.
I am not so patiently waiting for AirPlay to support AC3 DD or DDPlus because I record my home video in %.1 surround (AVCHD) and can preserve it through Final Cut Pro and DVD or Red Laser, but cannot use the intended cable replacement (AirPlay) to play them.
Bummer..
I think/hope if more people request surround sound via AirPlay Apple may then follow through on this otherwise good idea.
FWIW
