Trouble with SPDIF Passthrough and the Audig

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 from Dell and am trying to connect it to Logitech Z-680 speakers. I want to use digital surround sound. I found the instructions on how to do this on Logitech's site. However, I have a problem.
Step 2 states to go to Audio HQ, select 'Device Controls' and then select the 'decoder tab'. My Device Controls does not have a 'decoder tab' nor does it have a 'SPDIF Passthrough' option that I can find. Where do I find the SPDIF Passthrough option?
I have updated all of my drivers and Creative software as far as I can tell. In the Device Controls help it states: "Digital Input Settings is available only if you are using the Optical Digital I/O card or Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Dri've." Does this mean my Audigy 2 from Dell does not support optical out?!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Janefoe,
Since this card is OEM I would suggest contacting Dell at this time. You can then find out from them if this feature was included with this card and if so how to enable or disable SPDIF Passthrough.

  • A20m Trouble with Ethernet Card and the Internet

    I have a A20m Thinkpad that is not connecting to the internet. At first my problem was that I did not have an ethernet card as detailed on this forum post.
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Legacy-ThinkPads-A-I-V-300-600/A20m-Network-Controller-Driver/m-p/219725...
    Thus I bought this ethernet card and installed it.
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190223756432
    From what I can tell I installed it correctly and then I preceded to install the drivers for this card. The ones located on this page.
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4K4PWT
    It seemed to work well and the controller shows up in hardware devices.
    That went well, but I still cannot connect to the internet. I thought it might be the card itself but after running the 3Com NIC Utilities that came with the drivers it said that there were no problems with the card.
    Also of note I have noticed that there are no lights on the port where the ethernet cable is plugged in. I am not sure if there should be. Any help people could offer would be most appreciated. This Thinkpad is running windows XP.

    Called them up today and basically I got them to pay for shipping this time. They told me they did not have any more new ones of my model and are not willing to ship me a suitable new replacement model after all this trouble and just gonna keep on shipping me refurbished until we find one that works (the heck? ...his quotes). So basically by the time I get my 2nd refurbished replacement (and assume it actually works this time) my computer would been down for over 2 months.
    I am currently saving up for a 9800gt from evga since they are budget priced now (heard they actually have a good customer service and good quality cards) and based on my experience with MSI I can't recommend their products to anyone now sadly.
    Hopefully MSI will send me out a tested a verified to word refurbished card this time.

  • Trouble With Opening InDesign and now Photoshop and Illustrator

    First off I apologize if this isn't in the correct section. I couldn't find a section specific to my problem since it involves multiple aspects of Adobe products. I was having trouble with InDesign, it kept crashing. So I followed all of the advice I could find on the forums about deleting the preferences and cache information in the Library folder, and that didn't seem to make a difference. So then I thought maybe it needed an update, so I logged into Adobe Application Manager and sure enough, it did. So I clicked on "download" and it stalled there too. Then the manager became unresponsive. I couldn't cancel the update or log out or anything. So then I saw in the forum someone suggested the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool if your manager becomes unresponsive. I ran that and then shut my computer off. When I turned it back on, InDesign started working BUT my Photoshop is completely gone from my system (I never messed with it in the first place since I wasn't having any trouble with it.) And the when I tried to click on Illustrator it said "Do you want to begin your trial?" Huh?
    I have had a subscription since 2012, why on earth would it suddenly think that I no longer should have access to these programs? If I log on to my Adobe account it shows my subscription and that it's up to date (last payment was April 5, 2015). The versions I was using were the CS versions that I had downloaded directly from Adobe and when I used to have any trouble or when I got a different computer I could just log into my account and then redownload them. They are no longer showing under my products, so I can't figure out what on earth is going on. The website has changed since the last time I downloaded them, so that partly could be me, but I thought they would at least be showing up under products. I contacted Adobe support and the first person I talked to on chat said "this is clearly a technical issue I am transferring you to someone better suited for this," but that's all he said. And I haven't heard from anyone since so I thought I'd make a topic and see if anyone else out there has had a similar problem.

    The versions I am using are the CS6 versions.*

  • I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.

    I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.   When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del.   When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway.   I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
    This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.

  • Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times,mans it still doesn't work.

    Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times, it still doesn't work.

    Greetings Blueleoapple,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Bobby_D

  • Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

    Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy 

    You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

    There are some patterns of crashes that suggest possible causes and fixes; some users report crashes when FCPX is in the process of loading; others while importing/exporting, etc. Asking to narrow the list of possibilities.
    Suggest starting with three things:
    1) Update the software from the APp Store  if need be.
    2) Trash preferences.
    3) Repair permissions.

    i am having trouble with exchange account connection .the vpn connects fine but the exchange account is still showing the yellow light .can anyone help?

    I had a similar problem.  Here is how I resolved the issue.
    1.  Remove Network Connect
    2. Run Terminal and remove /usr/local/juniper and everything within the juniper directory.
    3. Reboot the machine and reinstall Network Connect
    4. Test if you can now connect.
    During removal, you may encounter permission denied error, you will need to change the permission to 777.  For example "sudo chmod 777 nc".

  • Trouble with internal keyboard and touchpad

    Hi,
    Yesterday I just out of nowhere started having some trouble with my keyboard and touchpad on my MacBook Air.
    The problem displayed itself on various ways. One thing was that I couldn't press regulary with the touchpad. When I was pressing one time, it acted like a pressed with two fingers. When I tried to type in my password on the administrator page, some of the keys didn't work at all and some started to act weird. For example when I was pressing the letter B, the "bar" which displayes where you are in the text (don't know the word in English) went backwards, and when I pressed the letter F it went forward. This seemes so weird and also gives me a hope that it might be some setting failure though B stands for backwards and F stands for forward.
    I could log in to the guestpage where I tried to write in "notes". In notes, no letters at all was working, only numbers. When I tried to shut the computer down from the apple symbol I was asked to write administrator name and password. When I tried to mark the name to write it, there wasn't a "bar" but a cross, but on the other hand did it work to write in the password field. But of course not B and F..
    Usualy I'd just press the on/off botton until the computer lockdown, unfortunately the botton doesn't work. So the only thing I could do was to let the battery die and hope that it would start when I recharged it and pressed start, this didn't go as well as I hoped, so now I'm stuck with a dead macbook air.
    Any ideas of what could be the problem or/and any solutions what might do the trick?
    Extremly greatful for any answers

    Yes you need to use a wired keyboard.

  • Trouble with LaCie disk and time machine

    HI everyone,
    I've been having trouble with using time machine to back-up to my 1 TB LaCie drive (purchased 5/12, unfornuately I was dumb and didn't register the drive and no longer have the box with the serial number and there is no serial number on my drive. The only problem I had up until the end of August was that every so often the LaCie drive (using my FW 800 port) would unmount after waking up from sleep.
    The end of August the drive unmounted for no reason while I was on the computer doing a task. Could not get the LaCie drive remounted (rebooting, etc. etc.) To make a long story short, ended up calling apple care who took me through resetting my SMC and PRAM to no avail. Was booted to higher level of support who walked me through trying to repair my drive using the disk utiltiy. When that didn't work, she walked me through erasing and reformatting the LaCie drive and starting a new time machine back-up. Every thing ok until about ten days ago.
    Last week, when I woke my iMac up from sleep, I got an error saying that the disk was not ejected properly and I could not mount the drive. Restarting did nothing, the disk did not  mount. Shutting down and rebooting seemed to solve the problem and the disk was mounted. Every so often I've had the problem with the disk unmounting after waking up from sleep before. So, I changed my energy sleep preferences. At the end of the day when I am done, I'd unmount the LaCie drive before putting the Mac to sleep using the apple menu.
    Today I came in to start my day, plugged the drive in and it would not mount. Tried rebooting nothing. Went into the disk utility, at first the LaCie drive passed the disk verify (6:26:25 and 6:26:38). Then I went into repair disk on the indented drive at 6:27:13, I wasn't sure what it is was doing, thinking that it had hung, I stopped the repair at 6:27:24. Exited disk utility, and the LaCie drive mounted. But I was getting a read only error when I tried to back-up using time machine. So, I went back into disk utility at 6:27:35, when I verified the disk (indented disk), I got an error saying the disk need to be repaired. After several minutes the disk could not be repaired. So, I erased and reformatted the drive. Ran a time machine back-up and it seemed to back-up everything on my hard drive. Just ran another verify disk and it passed.
    Is the drive failing? Have some other back-ups of my documents, my address book, iCal and am going to make a backup of some of my pref files and important e-mail files and am going to do some more back-ups after I am done.
    Have reached out to the women at apple care whom I talked to last August, but don't expect to hear back from her for at least 24 hours.
    Here is my disk utility log

    I just got a call back from the upper level support person at apple care who had been advising me on my trouble with time machine and my LaCie 1 TB FWD. I had sent her much of the same verbiage as I posted here. As some of you have probably figured out, the verdict is that the drive is probably failing. She says this because I have had to do two erase and reformats. She thought that the intermitant problem that I have had with the drive unmounting when my iMac wakes from sleep could be related to the drive failing.
    In the meantime I have a secondary back-up (not using time machine) and the LaCie  1 TB FWD is working for the moment.
    Thanks to all who read all my verbiage.
    And in the meantime, I've learned something. I marked this question as solved. But I'm open to other things to try.

  • TS3999 Help! Trouble with my calendar and icloud.

    I am having trouble with my calendar and icloud.
    Customers send me meeting invites and I can accept them no problem. But if they subsequently change the date or time I get an error message:
    Access to “appointment name” in “Home” in account “iCloud” is not permitted.
    The server responded:
    “403”
    to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation
    sometimes the time changes in my calendar, sometimes it doesn't, and my customers keep getting messages back from icloud 'accepting' the original date, not the changed date!!
    It is driving me an my clients crazy!  any help would be appreciated.

    I had a problem specific to the Calendar on web-based Firefox (PC) Was asked for a separate sign-in I'd never seen before which didn't work. I resolved this by signing out, signing in again.
