There's a digital output on the card itself. 'tis the farthest one from the motherboard I beli've.
What you erally need is a cable like t his one:
http://www.needledoctor.com/Sony-RK-...=2&category=92
Plug the mini-plug end into the soundcard and one of the outputs ( the left channel I believe ) will have the digital output.
You will only get surround sound via the decoder if when playing back pre-encoded DD/DTS content like DVDs. Games and stuff will playback in stereo when connected digitally as SPDIF only supports compressed multi-channel bitstreams or uncompressed 2 channel audio. No Creative card at present offers real time DD/DTS encoding ( there're other cards which do which support Dolby Digital Li've! or DTS Connect. ) Creative have a DTS encoder called the DTS-60 which can take analogue signals from the soundcard ( stereo mini-plug x 3 ) and encode it to DTS for output via a coaxial or optical SPDIF in real time. I've never used the DTS-60 and can't comment on how good it is. Also note that the Audigy 2 ZS has weak bass redirection if using the DTS-60 and the 60 lacks bass redirection of its own so you could very well end up with a 'bass-less' signal if you're connecting to small speakers, unless your decoder has volume controls for the subwoofer.Message Edited by nvidiot on 09-27-2006 0:32 PM

Try copy those corrupted files and make sure you are using the same certificate and then re-encrypt the copied files and try decrypt them.
If possible, use the same account as you used for encryption.

How to power Camileo S20B with external source?

Hi,
According to a post on this forum I should be able to power the S20B using a USB power source by removing the battery.
I have tried this and it does not work. I've removed the battery and connected the USB cable to a variety of USB power sources including laptops. The blue light comes on but the S20B does not power up.
Any suggestions? I really need to be able to power the camera for longer than one battery charge.
Thanks,

I dont know if this will work. Have you checked users manuals document?
I have tested it with my Camileo H30 and it cannot work with USB cable connected but without battery.
This cable is for data transfer only.

I have a old 20" Apple Cinema Disply that is conected to a power block. Other conections that went into my G5 were a DVI, FireWire

I have a old 20" Apple Cinema Disply that is conected to a power block. Other conections that went into my G5 were a DVI, FireWire & USB. I am going to buy a new Mac Min so what do I need to get to get the screen to work with it?

If your monitor had DVI input (older 20" had ADC) then all yo need is:
- Use the supplied HDMi to DVI adopter and connect the display video
- Plug the USB for the display to the Minis USB port.
- If the display has FireWire 400 you will need to purchase a FW 400 (female) to FW 800 (male) atopter to connect the display's FW to the Mini

Audigy 2 ZS and inspire T7700 no 7.1 with mov

Hello. Maybe you can help me:
I was trying to watch Episode one (with Dolby sourround EX) with power DVD 6 an Windvd 6 plat but i'm having problems with my 8 channel output because when i start the THX optimizer, the sound that is supoused to be heard on my side speakers, comes from the rear speakers and the sound from channels 6 & 7 (Rear center) its also coming from those speakers. This Failure also happens with the Windvd Channel test: side speakers doesn't work and in power DVD 6, CLMEI II technology does not work with side speakers. The only way to get sound from my side speakers is with CMMS.
The tests for the THX console for audigy 2 complete succesfully altough it keeps me saying that my side speaker and sub aren't wired correctly (polarization test). The channel and noise testing goes ok besides that.
This problem is exclusi've to DVD watching beacause with EAX HD 3.0 or 4.0 games, i'm not having any problem.
is Dolby digital EX in episode really works with 7. configurations (region 4)?
How do i need to configure this players to work with the installed decoders?
Are my speaker set defecti've?
Can i buy some kind of monster cable to imrpove my sound?
It's that all right that the sound from 5. tracks (DD or DTS) is played from the front and rear speaker and not in the side ones?
Note:
The supoused wiring problems repeats itself even if i change the connector of the the side speakers with the rear ones (that are soppoused to work fine). That means (i think) this problem isn't caused by the speakers wiring (i think i made it ok) could it be that the 7. cable is deffecti've?
What to do? Please Help me
Creative Staff: where i can go to check this on Mexico city? is there any sopport center where i can go and get some help?
My config:
Audigy 2 ZS and Creative inspire 7. T7700

My guess is that your PowerDVD and WinDVD versions don't have ES support and you're using the programs to decode. This might be the case if you are configuring the programs for multiple speakers. If you are, try configuring them for SPDIF output, then make sure the soundcard is configured to decode AC3/DTS (it probably is). Does that help?

Audigy 2 NX Dolby Digital Probl

Ive read through the stickys and most nx posts and i just dont understand why the dolby digital light wont illuminate on my audigy 2 nx.
Im running logitech z-680's and have tried 6ch direct, optical, and coax in an attempt to get the dolby digital enabled. Ive been on the device control and selected the S/PDIF passthrough, all the 96khz, 48khz, and 44. khz options and it just wont work !
Theres also something weird in my speaker settings on the creative software, whereby i try and select digital output only whilst my speaker config is 5. then it selects digital output only and the speakers alwasys change back to 2. !!!!! It's extremely annoying.
The only way i've heard tru dolby digital is through my ps2 and it is awesome, i would like to hear it through my pc, so a solution would be greatly appreciated. Any Ideas ?
Simo

There're many other people which have the same problem. I have it too, of course.
I have tried the test mode and was able to do all the steps described, but at the end it just goes back to flashing like before. I bought the device in January 2004 and it just now will not power up.
I think I would never buy any creative product again, because the products are almost bugged and the customer service is at zero level.

Power on-Power off issues with X200

I am having power up and power down issues with my Lenovo X200.
Prior to the immediate problem, I would experience occasional unexpected shutdown of the computer (I would hear a relay click when it happened), and on some occasions when I put it into hibernation, then power it back up later it would not resume, instead, it would restart with a new session of Windows.
About a month ago, it shut down while I was using it. I powered it back on, but it took a long time (nearly a minute) to get the “ThinkPad” initial boot screen, then the screen would be blank for about a minute, then I would get a screen that read, “Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension v 4.0.4.0007” and also “M.E Initializing……” That screen would show for about a minute, then I got another screen reading “Security chip is generating endorsement key pair. Please wait.” That screen would show for about 5 minutes, then it would read, “Generation failed!!!” for about 5 seconds. After that, it would boot to Windows (I am using Windows 7 Professional).
When I would shut it down, either in hibernate mode or full shutdown, after the hard drive icon stopped flashing (indicating it had shut down), the power icon, battery icon would stay on, and the “sleep” icon would flash. I would have to hold the power button down to turn those icons off; if I failed to do that the power would stay on until the battery completely drained.
I read something about the “Security chip is generating endorsement key pair” message so I went into BIOS and changed the security chip from “Active” to “Inactive”. However, when I would start the computer with the chip “inactive”, it would go first to the initial boot screen, then to the “M.E. Initializing” message, then the screen would go blank and remain blank, not ever booting to Windows. So I went back to BIOS and changed the security chip to “Disabled”. With it disabled, it will boot up, but still is very slow booting and I still get that “M.E. Intializing” message for about a minute, and also I still have to hold the power button down to power down the computer after I shut it down (or hibernate) with Windows.
The good news is that, after this started happening, I have not encountered an unexpected shutdown nor has it failed to resume the previous windows session if I hibernate it.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

The difference may be that the G5 iMac bus (where your fire wire plugs into the back) is a powered bus. What this means is the LaCie drive will "sense" the power from the bus and not turn off. The power it gets from the fire wire bus however may (is) not be enough to actually operate it, only leave it on. You still need to the drive into a power outlet.
In the LaCie manual (CD that comes with drive) and the FAQ section of LaCie's web page it states this as well.
What I do is manually turn the drive on when needed (performing back up or for scheduled back up). The LaCie drive should be quiet when not in use as it has no fan.
PS - try SuperDuper for backups, much better (IMHO) than Silverkeeper.

Power pc g3 with Imovie 3.03 system v 10.3.9.

I have a power pc g3 with Imovie 3.03 system v 10.3.9. I am trying to import a 6.6 gig dv file into I movie for editing etc. These are old 8 MM converted to didgital and saved via final cut as dv files. When I try to import into I movie I get the following error message: The file could not be imported :The file you are trying to import is bigger than the maximum size supported. What are the size limitations for this version of I movie. How do I solve the problem and stay with the same operating version? I appreciate any help!

I don't recall the specifications for iMovie 3.
It seems to me you're going to have to break the file up into smaller pieces. I'd try no more the 2 gig/clip.
Do you still have access to the Final Cut version? Can new, faller files be created.
You could also try QuickTime Pro to chop of the large files into several smaller one.

I have new hard drive in macbook pro(08) and have SATA cable with external power source to old hard drive (10.5.8)via. USB port and newer drive(10.6.8) will not recognize older drive..Do I need to partition newer drive with older disk to recover data?

I have new HD 750GB Hybrid in 2008 Macbook Pro 17" w/ Snow Leopard 10.6.8 connected to old Hard drive(250GB that had 10.5.8 on it at time of failure) via SATA cable to USB port with external power source.. Computer not acknowledging old HD at all in Disk Utility or otherwise (that I'm aware of)..Do I need to partition New HD and load old(10.5.8) onto partition to recognize older drive for data recovery? Thanks Wayno08

You do not need to load 10.5.8 onto your new drive in order for a 10.6.8 system to see the contents of a 10.5.8 system.
You might want to check out the hard drive troubleshooting bootk in the downloads section of this web site:
http://scsc-online.com
They also sell a product named Phoenix that can do OS extraction and volume copying/cloning, but to be honest I don't know if it's appropriate in this case.
I would suggest the following:
Open up Terminal.app (under utilities) and type "diskutil list" without the quotes. This is the command line version of Disk Utility. If the external drive doesn't show up at all, then it's likely not connected properly, not getting power, or just plain dead. If it shows up with only a devce name like disk0s16 but no volume it means the drive is seen, the OS just can't make sense of it.
Assuming the drive shows up, I would try to boot off the original installl disks for the system and run Disk Utility from that. I'm assuming the drive will show up. You'll want to select the option to repair the drive and then perform the option to repair the permissions.
If the unit isn't showing up, as per step 1, try a different USB port. More importantly with your unit, try it on another side of the unit if possible. If you read the book I referenced above, some of those units have I/O boards that are separated from the logic board. If the cable from the logic board to the I/O card goes bad or has problems, which isn't all that uncommon, some or all of the ports on the I/O card may appear to be bad as well. If you use a USB port on another side, it would be routing out of a completely different I/O path, so that's a potential problem.
If the drive is only seen with a device name such as disk0s16, it's likely either the index files are corrupt beyond Disk Utility's ability to see them. The only thing that I think would help would be a product named DIsk Warrior, but I can't guarantee that.
Disk Warrior can be found at:
http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
The company that I linked in the first link above also makes a product named Scannerz that does HD and system testing. The Scannerz/Disk Warrior combination make a good pair because the complement each other....Scannerz does what Disk Warriror can't and Disk Warrior does what Scannerz can't. However, at this point I'm not too sure getting a tool like Scannerz would be of much use because it sounds like the damage has already been done.
Let us know what happens.

The Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or similar software. For best results, place the second drive inside the computer or in a FireWire enclosure and boot the computer from it before removing the internal drive.

Hello,
You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27'').
Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
Good luck,

Helix only works with external power

Hello
Just received my Helix and I have some issue, one of the biggest issue so far is that it will only power up and stay on with external power, when I dock it it works fine, if I undock it it will shut down, if I plug the power cord to the tablet it will power on but as soon as I remove the power cord it will shut down, I have checked and the batteries are 100% charged, any advice ?
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the reply, I called Lenovo tech support and they thought it was the mother board, the tech changed it and it did the same he suspected a faulty battery, he replaced that and it works great now, so it was a faulty battery on the tablet it was not getting charged, Lenovo tech support was great, quick and very apologetic, love the laptop so far, thanks for all the help.
