S/PDIF-In on XtremeGamer, with Vista. Confusion abo

Let me make this short.
Vista x32. X-Fi XtremeGamer with the newest drivers. Xbox 360. S/PDIF-In. No Workie.
I have some logitech 5. speakers with the three colored plugs, those are plugged into the card, 5. works fine.
I would like to have digital surround output from my xbox with these, and figured optical is the way to go.
I got a MINI-TOSLINK adapter, put it on the end of my TOSLINK cable, and plugged it into the flexijack port.
I get no sound, no matter what I do. Enabled S/PDIF-In in the blue panel, nothing.
Please, help me.

X-fi do not support Dolby Digital decode through flexijack only through I/O bay

  • Sound problems with vista 32 bit on xfi xtremegamer

    hi im havin sound issues with my sound blaster xfi fatality xtremegamer on vista 32 bit. the sound will sound like a skippin cd or sound like it is stuterin for a few seconds than it will play fine than do it again later on. i was wounderin if its a driver issue with vista or my sound card has broke? i had it runnin on xp and had no problems. can anyone help me please as my card is only abot 8 months old so if it could be faltiy i am still covered by warrinty.

    I don't know if it's the driver that's causing a problem or if it's one of your components that's causing a problem. All I know is that the X-Fi is working great on my system, both in XP Pro and Vista Business. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think I installed the driver first and then the software from the leaked Vista Suite that I downloaded from a link in a post on this forum. Never had a problem with any of the previous drivers either, but on the other hand this system was built in november/december last year, so the hardware was fairly new at the time.

  • Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

    "Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
    Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
    -The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
    When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
    Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
    once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
    I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
    -When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    How do I make 5. render properly on vista

    We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue.  All is now mostly well.
    Peace...

  • Migrate from XP to new machine with Vista

    Could someone please describe how to do this?
    I have backed up the catalogue on an external drive, and installed LR onto the new machine.
    However,searching on here there is advice to copy the preview and thumbs files,which I cannot find.
    Also my presets etc, where should i copy them to? On the xp machine ther are in user name/app data/Lightroom
    o the new machine there is no lightroom folder in username/app data.
    Really confused please help!
    Phil

    Ok Guys (and gals)
    All seems to be well ;-)
    I made sure that my images were in the same directories..a little easier because the are on an external drive...however the drive was recognised as G and not H. So after some fiddling in the admin tools to rename it, all was ok.
    The thing that was puzzling me is that the directories in username/application data/lightroom (where the presets etc are stored in XP) have changed in Vista.
    As others said they are now User name/application data/Roaming/lightroom...but the files are not created until after you first launch LR.
    So I copied the previews folder and catalogue from My Pictures in XP to username/pictures in Vista, which seems to be the default location.
    Then clicking the catalogue file opens LR with that catalogue.
    There are no user presets as yet,but once LR has been started the file location is username/app data/roaming/lightroom/presets.
    Copy all the presets there.
    Then I went through the other files and ensured that I copied any other usefull info,such as preferences,metadata presets, export presets,from the existing folders into the new.
    All i had to do then was re set up my id plate, export presets and go through all the options to make sure all was well.
    The only issue is that I have one directory on my hard drive that is not recognised. Some images were on D,on a partitioned hard drive (C and D). Now I have one drive C.
    But the catalogue still has the folder and the previews so its no hastle just to browse to the new location to fix it.
    So yaaaay! Now just the ballache with Vista (I hope not)
    One final note...called LR tech support for help and was told an email would be sent with the full info what to do. After quite some hours no mail....another call revealed no case id and nothing recorded. Hmmmmm...
    Thanks all who replied and hope this helps others

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum with Vista 64

    0Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum with Vista 64Y Hi
    I'm considering buying a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum (with front panel) off ebay, but first I'd like to know if certain features will be compatible with my system. I'm running Vista Home Basic 64bit (hardware is an Asus P5Q-E, Q6600, 2GB of RAM, ATI Radeon HD4850, etc). I'll be using this card for my PC's 5. surround sound system (using the stereo outputs), and more importantly, recording some music. I want to achieve this by using the optical S/PDIF port, as my bass guitar effects board has an S/PDIF output and I've got an S/PDIF cable. I'd also like to use the Line In and Mic inputs. The driver before the latest one for this card said that there was no S/PDIF passthrough for Vista. Has the latest driver got everything I need fixed, so I can just plug it in, install the drivers and then be happily recording through these three inputs?
    Thanks for the help?
    Message Edited by SuperMaximo on 05-22-2009 2:4 [email protected]

    I am brand new to this message system but I am so desperate for help I thought I would try it. After reading lots of comments I find that my problem may be more the rule than the exception. I have an Audigy @ Platinum card and all I ever get from it is crackling and popping. I have been around and around with Creative support but nothing they tell me results in a fix. I am so disgusted at this point that I am ready to just trash the whole thing. I have gone through the BIOS and checked so many settings its a shame. Still crackling and popping. I NEED SPECIFIC ANSWERS FROM SOMEBODY...not just the generic flip the wingle wangle to port xyz and move this to that. here has got to be an answer to this maddening problem. The other thing is that now I can't get my MIDI keyboard to play back. I must have turned something off in the set up process but now I have no idea what to do.
    If anyone has any solid answers for me PLEASE come forward with them before I kill someone!

    Why in the world would a person use 2 soundcards makes no sense to me .Onboard sound is crap i have never liked it ......,boards should come empty no network? card or audio because that crap they use on the motherboard is a crap . I have all that crap on my board disabled because i have a fibre home network . I see no use for copper either the cable companys should all go fibre they don't want the initial cost because they are cheap .Fibre will last alot longer than copper .We arein the year 2009 not the 70's come on .

  • T61 - problem with Vista x64 NVS 140M drivers

    Hi!
    I have problems with Vista x64 and NVS 140M drivers. Thing is that if I install them, everything will be slideshow, even the audio shutters quite bad and CPU is constantly over 45%. I have tried different driver versions but nothing has helped yet. Any ideas?
    I wonder if anyone has the old 7.15.11.0129 driver and could send it to me? Maybe that would help.

    Try the following test:
    - Go to Vista Sound Control Panel to view the S/PDIF out properties.
    - Click on the Supported Format tab page, select Dolby Digital and click Test.
    Is the test OK?

    Please Help.

    Thanks for the "push" in the correct direction..
    in internet I found this link which was a bit confusing to me to be honest but as understand there was a change of functionality in vista from XP I decided the give WinPcap application a try

  • Ipod not recognized by itunes with vista!!

    I (amid all of my other troubles with vista) have updated to itunes 7.2 but am not able to get itunes to recognize my 30 GB video ipod. I perused the other discussions and noticed others have had the same problem but never came across an answer.
    thanks

    I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

    My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
    ***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
    . Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
    2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
    3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
    Note:
    When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
    To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).

  • Problem with Photostream on a PC with VISTA

    Problem with Photostream on a PC with VISTA
    I have latest Vista SP installed. I installed the download for ICloud for Vista Control Panel. I followed Apple's instructions and am unable when I snap a picture to have it downloaded on my PC to the default directories. 
    I have done a iCloud backup a couple of times.
    I have changed the directory destinations, turned off my firewall, and still not getting the pics on my PC.
    Help is appreciated. Thanks..

    Well, the problem has been partially solved. When using the  free Camera Plus app, all works as it should. All pics that I take download successfully.
    Does this mean that the the Apple Camera app is defective?
    How do you fix this app, cannot be deleted on the IPOD.

  • I am trying to install a hp officejet 4215 all in one on a HP Pavilion slimline with Vista

    I am trying to install a hp officejet 4215 all in one on a HP  Pavilion slimline with Vista, I log in under myself and  I am an administrator, When I run the cd to install it shows that I need to be logged in as administrator, any help out there ?

    I am not sure why the HP software needs to recognize your airport. That's a function of the OS. Can you be more specific about the problem you are having? Do you have some screen shots? Is the Macbook connected to the router?
    If the HP printer can't recognized the router, that's a different story. You'll need to plug the Macbook into the printer (by cable) to config it (that's typical). You may need to assigne the printer its own static IP address (which I would advise doing anyway). That way you can always find it and it will make setting up network printers on other computers a bit easier.
