Sound Blaster 5.1 Live Ls card with a durabrand home theater sys

Greetings All
I have a sound Blaster 5. Li've Ls card
And just bought a durabrand home theater system with a sub wolf and 5 speakers it has a port for pc?s but I all I hear when I plug it into the digital out is very faint sound with a lot of static I know that the papers that come with the sound card suggest creative inspire 5. digital 5500 however it does not say that it will not work with other speakers.
But none the less I am asking you all what should I do and is it the speakers or is there something else I got to do?
I plugged it into the normal speakers out and worked of course I the digital output was unchecked when I did that.
So what do I do
i have windows xp pro sp2
Thank you all

now i would like know how mutch dif is there in it and will i not be able to enable 3d sound on pc's wiht out it's

Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook Express Card and Wireless Recei

I?purchased a Creative Wireless Recei'ver and a Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook Express Card. At the risk of removing any doubt that I am an idiot, what is the purpose of the square piece of stretchy black material? It was nicely packaged, but I don't know what I'm to do with it. It's about 4 inches square and stretchy, like spandex. I sent an email to Customer Service. They have no clue and advised me to call Direct Sales. They don't know what the purpose of the cloth is either. Any ideas?

Ok guys this is how I fixed the problem on my X-Fi PCI-Express. Open the Creative SB X-Fi Volume panel. Mine is set in game mode and I have 5 vertical sliders for Line-In /Mic, MIDI Synth, Digital-In, and the last one will say one of three things either Digital-In, Microphone, or Mirophone FP. At the top of the?slider there is a tab which brings up a drop down menu. Mine was default set to Digital-In, I switched it to Mirophone FP (tried Microphone first and it worked but the FP sounds better for me) and cranked it all the way up and my problem was solved. Very frustrating one though as there is no documentation that led me to the fix it was just playing around with it till I could figure it out.
I hope this at least helps some of you out.

Computer Crashes with Creative Labs Sound Blaster 5.1 Live Card

Several weeks ago when I booted up my computer a msg apeared saying new device found(the sound blaster card mentioned in the title) even tough it had worked for months beofre then and even the night b4. Shortly after I get a beep from the mother board and the computer crashes several seconds after start up.
I thought maybe their could be some conflicting driver issues or something so I checked the BIOS and it said the onboard sound was disabled. Restarting the computer several times it kept crashing. I removed the card, booted up the computer and everything worked fine (except the sound) and it did not crash. I tried putting the card in the other PCI slots thinking that was the problem but it crashed each time.
Right now the card it ploped on the desk and I have the Creative 5. speakers running off the onboard card on my Is7-E mobo but the sound is **bleep**ty as hell and the speakers are ligned up corectly and I am having all sorts of trouble with that. I am getting basic sound though. I havnt had time to pursue the matter untill now. Do you guys think the card for some reason is damaged or Its an issue on my computer Crashing it's
Thanks,
-Mark

Heh, srry about using the S word. Ah, I whiped all the audio drivers etc...from the guid in that link. I poped the card in, booted up the computer...alas it still crashed. So now I have to get my temp sound working again. Is their anyway to tell if a compenent is phsicly dmged? I can not be shure if this is a software issue(which I dont think it is because I followed your whipe guid) or a hardware issue. I dont understand what could of hapened to it, it simply stoped working. Im not shure why my computer crashes at start up as mentioned above and doent simply not work. Any more thoughts would be great.

Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Card Trouble With Windows Vi

Hi, yesterday I installed vista and had no sound, I then updated the drivers for my Sound Blaster X-FI XtremeGamer Card and then the card was detected. The card says the drivers are working and that everything is fine yet I hear no sound, I have messed around with the options unmuting things but nothing seems to work, any help would be great. Thanks, Auro

Hi, im not tryin to insult ur intelligence but have u checked to make sure the sound is not muted in windows? for some reason my pc mutes the sound randomly when i turn it on (yes im running Vista 64...). This confused the beejesus out of me until i realised what was happening. Now im lucky if my pc actually starts up because of crummy xfi drivers and the BSOD but thats another rant entirely.....

Is there a known issue for this
Yes it is called trying to install the wrong driver for your card. Will work much better if you try installing the correct one,
SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe
Also helps if you click on the "Show Details" link on the download page, then you would see that the one you tried to install doesn't support your card,
Requirements:
Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 or Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004

whereas the correct driver shows the following,

Sound blaster audigy 2 zs not working with vi

ok so my sound blaster worked fine with xp and i upgraded to vista and it isnt working at all. i tried to install the driver from creative's site that is supposed to work with vista. when i run the install it says it is missing a bunch of files like layout.bin and setup.exe, setup.ini,and a bunch of crap like that...i even tried getting these files from somewhere else and putting them in the install folder, it ran without missing files but gave me the same error at the end, I-00. THEN i even tried using the cd it came with when i bought the card on xp, it worked with a few minor errors but at the end it recognized my card but i get absolutely no sound at all...

The problem you are getting has to do with InstallShield and most probably your?Vista configuration... Make sure you are running as administrator and check the log files in the Program Files/InstallShield... folder to see exactly what files you are missing. There is a Creative Knowledgebase article about it, so do read it. Also do remove any Creative XP software, especially make sure you removed the InstallShield Creative folders (in the same location as above), as these have been known to cause Installation failures.

Is there any fix for this or does anyone know any solution to this issue? I would greatly appreaciate any help. I?am using Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit. Cheers

Hello,
I've got a 5. system and a li've!24bit too, but I've got no problem. In the eax-console, select surround-mixer, and click on advance, you can adjust the volume of the speakers seperatly, doesn't this help?

Hey xnathanmeyerx,
Please select Line-In of Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 as the default Input for the Mac computer. It can be configured at Sound under the Mac System Preferences. I hope this helps.
All the Best!!

Please help with TV and home theater system for very large basement room....

I'm looking to get my boyfriend either a TV or home theater system for the basement. I know he eventually wants a 3d TV. Right now he has a set up where he has 2 tv's so he can play video games and watch sports.
The basement that the tv and home theater system will be in is large (I'd estimate at least 15 ft x 30 ft...maybe more) so I want to make sure the home theater system will be enough for the room. We live in a ranch so basically the basement is almost the size of the house with some of it being storage.
I've started to look at products online but there are so many and technology isn't really my thing.
If anyone could help with recommendations for the home theater system and/or the tv I'd appreciate it!
Thanks so so sooo much!!!!

What will he be using the HT system for? Just watching sports or skipping the movie theater and watching them at home. If you plan to watch them at home your going to be on a tight budget with the home theater system but it is possible. Spend good money on the sub, that is one speaker you don't want to skimp out on. With such a big space you have a lot of room to fill and the cheap subs aren't going to cut it. You will probably need two subs as it is. The speakers I recommend on a tight budget Polk or Klipsch. My list includes a Denon receiver as I am a Denon fan but Yamaha, Onkyo, or Pioneer will suffice.
Here is a Option 1 will run you about 1700 with just one sub. You could always go up a model on each speaker if you feel the one sub is enough. I like an explosion sounding like it happened in front of me so that is why I mention 2 subs.

Question about connect X-Fi Xtreme Music with 5.1 Home Theater (analog inp

I want to connect my X-Fi to new speaker. (exact model : EACAN A200 5.)
but it has only 6 analog input ( center,sub,front l/r,rear l/r )
if i connect it with Creative Home Theater Cable
( http://asia.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=3&subcategory=55&product=4309 &nav=0 )
will it work perfectly? because i think this cable made for 7. speaker, will i miss sound that came from side l/r channels ?
If i can't use this cable, How can i connect X-fi to a new speaker?
Message Edited by chunbogbog on 04-09-2008 06:0 AM

since u are using 5. speaker, you only need to directly connect the cable from ur speaker to the sound card output, no need to use Creative Home Theater Cable.
and remember to set your sound card to 5. no matter u use what cable, since ur speaker is 5. only...if u play 7. content movie, the side L/R will directly map to the rear speaker, so no "miss sound" issue...understand?

After firmware update ipod touch not working with my Sony Home Theater DAV HDX287WC any suggestions

Is there a solution to play music from my iPod touch on my Sony Home Theater System DAV HDX 287WC after recent firmware/software upgrade? However, I am still able to play music through my ipod classic, but I am really missing the the functionality of the iPod touch with my home theater system.

- Check to see if there is a firmware update for the theater system
Sometimes this works but sometimes an IOS update breaks compatibility.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
