Surround Sound Support - 5.1 multi-channel stereo

Does FMLE support surround sound - such as 5.1 6 channel stereo? If not, will it ever?

FMLE supports only mono/stereo channel as of now. If we need this support in FMLE/Flash Player, log a feture request for the same.

Surround sound support for new MB aluminum?

Hello, so here's the deal:
I've been looking at a few pairs of headphones that will be plugged in through the USB port and there's a pair that supports 5.1 surround sound and a pair that supports 7.1 (both have 8 speakers built into the headphones).
Does anyone know what kind of surround sound support the new macbook aluminum has, if any?
The deal is that the headphones feature amps (it goes: usb -> amp -> control pod -> headphones), so technically it doesn't require drivers from the Mac into order to get it working, but I don't believe that it will work without the correct digital audio output from the Macbook itself.
Any help on this issue would make me grateful.
PS: if there is either more or less support on the Windows side (via bootcamp) I would love to know that too, because in my switch to Mac, I noticed that it really doesn't have any dedicated control of the sound drivers, whereas Windows XP does.
Thanks in advance.

Ironically there's apparently a bug that forces all my flash videos to be remixed into 5.1 surround. VERY annoying because now even at hte lowest volume levels it's super loud...

MacBook Air 2012 5.1 surround sound support?

I'm thinking of buying one of the new MacBook Airs. I recently saw a video on youtube showing that MacBook Pros are able to transfer surround sound. Are the new 2012 MacBook Airs able to do this as well when using a cable like this one: http://store.apple.com/nl/product/H7124ZM/A/iwires-3-5mm-to-digital-optical-cabl e?fnode=51&p=1#tech-specs?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, there is no configuration option for the S/PDIF interface. The following are the supported output formats:
2.0 (Stereo L/R)
5.1 (Dolby Digital - DVD bitstream or AC3 encoded containers only via QuickTime or VLC)
5.1 (DTS - DVD bitstream only)
To configure for proper 5.1 use, you need to set DVD Player to use Digital Out (Optical), not the Digital Out (HDMI). To configure VLC you need to set it to use Digital Out also, though you may have to fiddle with it to figure out which digital output is which as VLC's advanced configuration options aren't the most user friendly out there.
Once again, for the S/PDIF interface there are no configuration options available other than Stereo. 5.1 tracks will not play properly unless the apps used to play them back are capable of sending encoded digital audio. Dolby Digital and DTS are bitstream formats (encoded), and as such require that the app can work with those tracks.
Audio MIDI Setup does have the option to manually select Encoded Digital Audio in the format menu, but you should not do so as that disables regular stereo playback. The aforementioned apps will automatically switch between Encoded Digital Audio and Stereo, usually reverting to Stereo when playback is concluded.

Final Cut Express 3.5 surround sound support

I upgraded to 3.5 from 3.0 with the hope that FCE 3.5 would finally support MPEG-2 with Dolby 5.1 as it says it supports surround sound. Any idea if this is in the plans as FCE for the video part blows away all of the PC stuff but I would really like to edit the Sony SM100 MPEG files with sound.
G5 Power PC Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1 gig RAM Final Cut Express

There is no surround sound capability in Final Cut.

My ipod's music quality is inferior. It doesnt have the surround sound/ left and right audio channel unlike my brothers ipod? is there a problem with the chip?

I have an ipod touch 4g (8GB), I got this about 2.5 months ago, the same time my brother get his. My problem is that I noticed that audio quality is better on his device than mine. I have been listening to music and had different music devices before (non-Apple product and mobile phone) and the quality of music is better when I used to listen to those devices as well as my brother's ipod touch. Im referring to the left and right audio channels. Im not so good about the technical stuff but the best explanation I can give you is in a music or a movie, there's an effect wherein you can here a sound only at the left ear phone/speaker that you cant hear at the right earphone/speaker. I mean for example in a song, a guitar intro can be heared only at the left
ear while the background music plays on the other ear. Or when theres and echo effect on the song that alternates sound on the left and right ear. I hope youre getting what Im trying to say. Im bothered that my ipod is fake or has an internal problem on the chips or something because I didnt bought this at an Apple Center/Mac Center. I bought it on a retailer. I am not able to visit any store or Genius Bar or contact an apple specialist through phone because of my work schedule and work load. I have contacted the retailer before when I tried to return it for replacement or repair but he told me that it is under Apple's warranty, not theirs. I do hope that I can get a help from you because I want to really enjoy my device. Thank you and Im looking forward for the responce/assistance form you.

I suggest you don't apply pressure to the screen - it's a Touch - you touch the screen not push it.

Audigy 2 zs surround sound through dual channel headphones ?

< Hello,?
I've heard of virtual surround sound that the Audigy 2 zs can supposedly do. ?Does this mean that i can get surround sound out of regular dual channel headphones? i know it wont be true surround sound but the idea is that it will be something close to it right ?
if this is possible how do i set this up ?
thanks for your help!

What happened is when you installed the new itunes 7 it messed around with all of your files for the sound check and as a result when u are using sound check your speakers will not work correctly (I just fixed this problem). To fix it, simply go into the edit menu, then preferences and then click on the playback tab. In that tab the third box you can check off from the top should be sound check. Simply uncheck that box and you should be fine.
Good Luck

Sound blaster Upmixed surround sound Vs Home Theatre syste

Is there anyone has used Sound Blaster (any kind) to Upmix the stereo sound to surround (5.,6. or 7.) by hooking up to the home theatre system? Please help tell me the surround sound of which one (by using Sound Blaster upmixing or Home theatre system's) is better?

Not quite sure what your asking but here goes anyway, 7. is obviously the better due to having 7speakers and a sub which equals more channels, more speakers, greter effects.
If you have a creative home theatre that is 7. such as 'Creative GigaWorks S750' and your sound card doesnt support 7. then the theatre system does allow you to upmix 5. or 6. to 7., but this is not as good as having true 7. because for example if you watch a movie that has 7. surround sound support the sound will only be played in 5. or 6. but the theatre system will upmix it to play on all 7 speakers, to explain in more detail if the film you are watching is trying to play sound on just the middle speakers if the sound card only supports 5. then the sound will get sent to the rear speakers insted and the theater system will upmix it and send it to the middle speakers as well, which would reduce what ever sound effects it is that the movie is trying to put across. So for the best performance and entertainment value a 7. theatre system with 7. capable sound card is the best option.
Hope this helps

Surround sound on imac

I have never heard of any surround support on any mac whatsoever. Is there a chance the new imac will have surround sound? Id expect apple to have come out wtih something like this since a majority of their products are sound and music based.

Actually all the iMac G5s and PowerMac G5s have surround sound support on their DVD Players. You need a Toslink minijack connector which ships with the AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit with Monster Cables
, and that will plug into many 5.1 speaker systems like the Logitech Z-680 (which I have).
Edit: I corrected the Logitech Model after looking it up again.

5.1 Surround Sound System in iTunes

When I use the integrated Windows function to 'test' sound, all speakers of my 5.1 Surround-Sound System are used. But when I play music in iTunes, only the 3 front-speakers are used. Help!

iTunes music does not output surround sound, it's not supported. The best option to get sound from all of your speakers is to change the Sound Field/Sound Preset on your Surround Sound System so that 2 Channel audio will be played through all of your speakers.

5.1 Surround Sound back two and centre speakers suddently stopped working in VIS

Hello,
In January I installed Windows Vista onto my pc. I didn't have any issues with the sound card at all. All of my speakers were working correctly.
The sound card I have is the Creative Soundblaster Li've 24bit internal. I installed the drivers for it which were out at that time and I had no problems with my speakers.
Yesterday though I noticed that my speakers were not sounding correct. I soon realised that no sound was coming from my back speakers and my centre speaker when I played music in Media Player. So I done the usual audio tweaking and checked my box on my speakers to see if anything was wrong, but it was all ok. So then I went to sound settings in vista. I then configured my settings and noticed everything seemed to be ok. When I done a sound check all the correct beeps came from the correct speakers. That told me that at least the speakers were not broken. Windows has noticed they are there. The 5. settings were correct also.
The CD that came with my sound card I seem to have lost. I know that has software where you can tweak the sound setup but I actually noticed that my speakers were louder and clearer then when the software was installed on xp. So I doubt that if I install that software again it will fix the problem.
I was really confused at this stage so I started to do some research on Google and noticed it's not just me who's having this problem. Quite a few other guys seem to be getting exactly the same as me.

Granted that the systems are using different soundcards then mine but it's a little bit of a coincidence don't you think?
Luckily for me I had quite a few restore points to go back to. I tried a couple of days ago, then a week and then a month before. Same thing though - no sound?
I then removed the drivers from my computer and then installed the new vista drivers. But guess what, nothing happened.
I doubt this is a soundcard problem and I think it's something to do with vista and the few bugs? she?s still got.
Any suggestions on what might be the problem?
Oh by the way, I?ve not installed any new software which could have caused this problem. Not in the past few days anyway. Like I said I restored my pc at multiple dates just to make sure.

Well I'm not using Vista I'm using XP SP2 and I have the same problem.
On the windows sound control panel there is a button called speaker volume. when you click on it you get a bunch of sliders with channels -8. Ive discovered that if I move the master sound control in any of the Creative Sound modes software Entertainment/Audio Creation or Gaming the channel sliders in the windows control panel numbered 3-7 all go to zero which stops the surround sound working. It leaves channels and 2 and 8 alone which can be changed with the sound control in the creative software.
Even checking move all the slides together option on the windows control panel is cancelled as soon as I twitch the main sound control. It's driving me nuts. I keep thinking I must be missing something really obvious here but alas I can't think what.
Ive tried lots of different solutions to no avail. Interestingly when I tried to use the autodriver update thing on the creative web site it said that i am using Vista and you'll have to download manually. Which I did and still didnt resolve my problem.
Sorry no solutions just more problems lets hope someone can help!
Edit - Just discovered - I have XFi Pro if I use the I/O Console volume dial it works fine, but if I use the software volume control it all goes wrong. Think I posted in the wrong thread as well as this is vista but it just seemed so relevant.

Any services included when you purchase TV, Surround Sound, etc. ?

Hi there,
This past week I purchased a Samsung flat panel TV, 5 surround sound speakers, a Denon multi-zone receiver and a subwoofer from my local Best Buy store. The sales rep who helped me was awesome and he made my wife and I feel very confident that we were getting the right combination of separate components to fulfill all our needs.
I already wall mounted the TV but I am a little concerned that I will run into problems when I try to install the 4 in-ceiling speakers and connecting everything behind the walls / ceilings into the receiver.
Does Best Buy offer any Geek Squad installation services free of charge after you spend above a certain dollar amount on all of your equipment at Best Buy?
Thanks!

We offer several home theater install option. Please click this link.

Having trouble using my 5.1 surround sound speaker system and can't configure itunes to use it

With my Logitech Surround Sound Speakers Z506 I am listening to music with itunes and i have 5 speakers total with a subwoofer, the configuration is two front, one center, two rear, and a subwoofer. The front , center and subwoofer are fine but the rear pair speakers do not have any playback with them. I am wondering if you don't mind helping me troubleshoot this problem.
Thank you have a nice day

Stereo Surround for Multi Channel Sounds Cards... Not Working

I have an Audidy 2 and utilize the Stereo Surround mode to listen to my music coming from all 5 of my speakers. I upgraded to iTunes 7 and noticed sound only from the left and right channels. I thought something had happened to the Sound Blaster setting, but it was still configured for 5.1 surround. I noticed all other sounds in Windows were coming in stereo surround... just not iTunes.
Prior to upgrading, version 6 allowed this functionality. It's nice to listen to the music in a large room coming from all speakers.
Has anyone else had this problem or can they duplicate it???

It didn't work

Surround Sound/multi-channel audio out

My brother has a set of 5.1 "surround sound" logitech computer speakers that we hoped to plug into the mac... but they seem to require 3 jacks... not the single (2 channel) jack out that the powerbook offers.
Anyone have a workaround?

Ok so i order to help anyone who is interested.
The only ironic solution to this problem i found was to use a plugin called xto7 to convert the xml to the old fcp7 format.
i then imported this into premiere pro.
this was then able to export an OMF that when imported into logic 10 that was using the correct 6ch mono setting as separate tracks.
Insane but it works until Apple fixes the incorrect meta data import in FCPX that sets the xml export to the default import that is always surround.
this is the only way i was able to send stems with all the edit points and fades for the sound editor.
If you don't have premiere lying around you maybe able to do it with fcp7 too we just didn't have it in this studio.
Fingers crossed Apple fixes the fcpx xml export.

You can play a sound in a surround-system. However, Java Sound API has some restrictions.
1, It does not play multi-channel format.
2, It does not support speaker channel assignment. That means you can not choose a certain speaker channel to play.
So overall, it can play a sound format which is either one or two channels in a multi-channel system.
