Tritton AX PRO Digital 5.1 Headphones & Titanium XFI

?What would be the optimal settings. I would like to get the best sound possible.

Yeah, I have the AXPROs and I have tried connecting via optical and usb, but neither is getting me any closer to figuring out how to get 5.1 out of the headphones. I have tried everything you have, but to no avail. APPLE! PLEASE HELP!

How can I choose the built-in mic of the Macbook Pro instead of the headphones' mic?

I have some headphones with a built-in microphone connected to the Macbook Pro, but I would like to use the microphone of the Macbook Pro instead of the headphones' one. If I go to System Preferences > Sound > Input, I can choose between 'External microphone' and 'Line in', but none of them take the sound from the Macbook Pro's microphone.

Go to System Preferences on that click sound icon select input chose which mic you want

Optical digital audio output/headphone out

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect stereo speakers directly (not through a receiver/amp)to the Optical digital audio output/headphone out on a imac? The new 20 inch imacs have a 24watt internal amp which would be plenty for the speakers that I want it to drive. Thanks

is there an attachment that i have to buy? do i just rip the tip of the cord off?
Yep, there are two "standard" optical-digital-audio connectors -- the original "square" one is still used in most larger audio/video components. The newer/smaller one, used mainly in portable gear, is exactly the same size as a mini headphone plug. Radio Shack carries adapters/converters and cables of both types (usually at outrageously high prices). For online vendors, try:

Great prices and a good rep for quality/service among to the HDTV-fanatics on avsforum.com.

Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out

What is the "combined optical digital audio output/headphone out"? This is what the output is called that has the earphone picture beside it on my MacBook. I thought this meant that it could take the mini jack out that splits into a/v - yellow, white, red, and plug it into any tv or monitor that has those inputs. I tried it just now, but a no go.
If the only way to get video is through the mini DVI output what does the "Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out" mean? If I can get video out of it, how can I do it?
Thanks!

Hi Trevor Deck: As you have discovered this does not output as a video signal. That jack is strictly for audio. The "optical" portion of it is used to output using a "Toslink" cable to provide "optical audio" to an external amplifier. The DVI port needs to be used to get a video signal to your TV. But be warned if you use the red, white, & yellow method of hooking up the video signal you will probably be disappointed. If your TV has a HDMI or PC input it would be much better. You would then have to get the proper DVI to whatever type adapter.
Good Luck

Bugged drivers 2.40.0008 Sound Blaster Titanium xfi pcie

Hello guys,
after several attempts i can assume that the new drivers 2.40.0008 for my Titanium xfi pcie cause bugged audio in Broken Sword 5. If i go back to 2.17.0008 everything works fine. My system has win 7 sp1 x64.. i've tried also formatting my pc and the problem is still there! What's the problem with this new 2.40.0008?
I wrote Revolution Software about the bug but they didn't gave me any solution!
The game starts and the audio is ok but every time a dialog begins i've to click mouse button to go on whilest with 2.17.0008 this problem is not present...
Thanks so much

UAU thanks so much....
i spent my entire afternoon trying different solutions to replace OpenAl drivers....I tried to intall the one from previous drivers (2.17.0008) but it didn't work (so i assume that the incompatibility is with the new drivers 2.40.0008 because openal drivers are the same 2.1.0.0 in both packages).
I wanted to replace the drivers in windows/system32 dir and after several attempts i used the drivers you suggested me and follow this guide:
Windows instructions:
System wide:
For windows, your alsoft.ini is %AppData%\alsoft.ini. Edit this file (or create it) and add:
hrtf = true
Chances are however, your OpenAL is slightly out of date. No worries though, easy to add in.
Download and unzip this file.
On 32-bit Windows: Copy Win32/soft_oal.dll over C:\Windows\System32\OpenAL32.dll
On 64-bit Windows: Copy Win64/soft_oal.dll over C:\Windows\System32\OpenAL32.dll (Yes I know. The naming was their idea, but it really is the 64-bit dll). Then copy Win32/soft_oal.dll over C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenAL32.dll (That's the 32-bit one. Confusing enough yet?)
I still don't find alsoft.ini file and i don't understand where to create it but nevermind....each game (BS5 retail and Book of unwritten tales) runs perfect now!!
Thank you very very much magg

Digital or analogue headphone jack

I'm setting up my Powerbook Titanium G4 to be my music source for a nice stereo (plugging into my preamp). I think my only Powerbook audio out is my headphone jack. First, can anyone confirm this? Secondly, is the output in digital or analogue format? Thanks.

Details about the sound system can be found in the relevant document here.

Audigy 2 ZS Pro digital output and Windows XP Pro

Recently "upgraded" my system to Windows XP Pro X64. My soundcard, an Audigy 2 ZS Pro, connects to my logitech 5. digital speakers via the front coaxial connector, no longer seems to output digital signal. The speakers indicate that there is no signal from the coaxial connection. I can hear sound from headphone through the analog output though.
Before the upgrade, I had everything working, but I don't remember all the details I went through to get it to work.
I have installed latest driver for Windows XP X64 from Creative, and I have modified the setting to bypass onboard decoding. Is there anything else I need to do? Online documentation talks about applications that I don't seem to have. Is there a X64-compatible application I need to run to get this to work? Thanks.

Okay Robert, I downloaded and installed your 6.25 drivers and they work fine. However, the Audigy 4 pro software, http://files.filefront.com/Pax+Audig.../fileinfo.html, does not install anything but drivers, no software applications. I looked on your board and could not find any definati've method for resolving this problem.
Perhaps you or someone else who is familiar with installing the software apps would care to provide a detailed solution.

Audigy 4 pro digital connection but no l

Hi
I have a soundblaster audigy 4 pro and i connect it to my amblifier denon with optical cable but when i play a dolby digital or dts sound i can't get the logo on the amblifier. I test it on clean install win xp sp2. The sound seems to bo ok but no logo. I use Power dvd latest version.When i play the same dvd on my desktop dvd player with optical connection everything is ok sound and all logo's display.
Do i have to enable cmss?
Please help.
Thank you
P.S sorry for my bad english.Message Edited by ASTRAPI on 06-2-2005 0:30 AM

CMSS is an effect used for stereo sounds, to emulate surround sound for them. It has no effect on the DVDs you're playing as you're just outputting the AC3 signal so the speakers can decode it.
If you're using a digital connection, then CMSS will not have any effect for other sound either, you need to connect through multiple analog connections to get that sound. A standard digital connection (coaxial and optical SPDIF) can only pass over either a stereo PCM signal, or an encoded AC3 stream (like on your DVDs). Normal sound like music or games will only be passed over as stereo PCM, so there is no CMSS effect there.
If you can connect your amplifier through several analog connections, then you can use CMSS aswell, otherwise your amplifier might have it's own upmix option like ProLogic.

Audigy 4 Pro digital input 16 - 24

I have a Sony MDS-JB920 minidisc deck hooked up to my Audigy 4 Pro through the external box. Works fine.
However, the Minidisc deck allows one to set both the digital input and output to either 6, 20 or 24 bit. As the Audigy 4 Pro is 24 bit, I've set the deck to 24 bit for both in and out. So far no problems. If I watch the settings panel whilst playing a minidisc however, it indicates that the signal coming from the MD deck is 6 bit, although the deck is set to supply 24 bit through the SPDIF out.
When I put the MD deck on rec mode whilst the PC is supplying audio feed, the MD deck loops it back to the SPDIF input of the Audigy and then the software does display 24 bit signal coming from the MD deck.
This is very confusing to me, does anyone have an explanation?

Acrobat X Pro - Digital Signatures

Good Morning!
I am trying to add a digital signature field in Adobe Pro X. It seems fine when I'm doing the editing and preview, but when I save as .pdf, the form doesn't allow it to be signed. If I click on the form in that field nothing happens.
Does anyone know what I'm missing?
Thanks!
Brian

My apologies for my miscommunication, and thank you for your patience. Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that I created it from MS Word? Let me start from the beginning on what I did, because I might be breaking something:
I created a "memo" in MS Word.
Using Acrobat Pro X, I chose "create form" so I could add a digital signature field as well as a text field.
When I go to Save As, Reader Extended PDF all of the options are greyed out so I can't select them.

Imac for Pro Digital Photography....

I do quite a bit of digital photography with high-end digital backs, was wondering if there would be a significant difference in buying a Mac Pro versus the 2.8 extreme or the 2.4 Imac with an equivalent amount of ram, say 4 gigs. The cost would be greater off course going the Mac Pro route including monitor etc. and less portable. And the expandability issue, which really isn't a problem since I use quite a bit of external drives.
Currently I'm using a first generation intel Imac 20' been having a few connection issues with the camera, not quite sure if it's software or hardware but still get good results with this machine.
I have never used a Mac Pro for this application so not sure if there truly is a mind blowing difference.
I like the portability of the Imac and the quick set up. Also I've heard some rumors about the glossy screen being an issue.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Much Thanks.

Never buy a sweater without trying it on.
Visit an Apple Store or make a query at your local Mac users group. I know we have lots of pro & amateur photographers in our MUG (especially in the Ps & Ps Elements SIG) who are always showing each other stuff on their computers.
I have found that many people who do a LOT of digital photography are peculiar in that they like to rely on the evidence of their own eyes more than the opinions of others.
The glossy screen is NOT an issue any more than the glossy inside of the windshield of your car is an issue. It is entirely POSSIBLE to focus on your reflection in your windshield while driving instead of looking through it, but the results are not encouraging. Its a matter of perception, not vision. The human visual system (in more developed examples of the species) quickly sees through the glass instead of focusing on it.

MacBook Pro Retina Problems with Headphone jack, Speakers, USB Port, MagSafe 2 and the hard drive

I took my MacBook Pro Retina 2.6GHz i7 to the genius bar to have the headphone jack looked at. I was told they could easily fix it but had to order the part. That day I took it home and returned to the store once I was notified that the part arrived so I could drop it off for repair. 3 days after I dropped my computer off with the genius bar I missed a phone call and returned to my iphone with a new voicemail. It said something like this, "Hello Tim, I just wanted to let you know that we replaced the headphone jack but it turned out not to be the problem and the problem was actually with the logic board. Don't worry though, we went ahead and replaced that for you, however, after that was done, the speakers stopped working but the headphone jack is fixed. We have to order new speakers to put in your computer b/c we don't have those on hand either."
Long story short, they fixed the speakers but, "had to order another part to repair the USB port." So I am waiting for that to be repaired but the dang AC Power to the actual computer does not work now!!! It's not the magsafe 2 charger that I have or the outlets I tried it in b/c I tried multiple chargers and multiple outlets. I am very frustrated! I have been without my computer for almost 2 weeks and still have to take it in at least twice more to get the power working this weekend and then again next week to (hopefully) get the USB port working.
At what point should I ask for a new computer or a refund? I have been using Apple Computers my whole life, I have had 8 different mac laptop models and have not had a problem until this computer. I am very frustrated with the support I have received from Apple as a whole.

Contact Apple Customer Relations and let them know that you're not happy. With the logic board replacement, everything else should have been evaluated and fixed at the same time. It sounds as if you just got a lemon. You could plead your case for a replacement unit, I would think, since your machine is being 'replaced' piecemeal...
Good luck,

A60 excessive digital noise from headphone/ouput socket

I have a new A60 (well three or four weeks old) I work in the music industry and need to process music on the laptop. All has been fine until trying to dump to an analogue device from the audio output. The digital noise is incredibly loud! Its there all the time but just touching the mouse pad doubles the ammount of noise.
Through headphones alone its not too noticeable but through a pre-amp, well its just unuseable.
Is there anyway around this or do I need to dump the A60 and buy a ThinkPad?

I have exactly the same problem, but even with headphones it is unbearable. I can't listen to any music without having the volume turned right up. The noise is present at the same level even with the volume thumbwheel turned right down. It also varies depending on what I am doing on the laptop - its loudest when the laptop is idle. I've had the laptop nearly a year, so I think I'll just send it back before the warranty expires. Does anyone know if this is a common fault, or have I just got one that was built on a Friday afternoon ????
