TV/ SKY Digital Sound Through MY X-FI Elite Pro and Gigaworks s

Hi i am trying to find out if i can get sound from my tv/sky digibox to pass through my gigaworks s750's.
I have just got hold of a new Sony Widescreen TV and a sky digibox both seem to to have audio out right and left on the back of them. On the computer side of things i have a X-FI Elite Pro and the Gigaworks S750's.
Im not sure about all of this so was hoping somebody in here could help.
Any Help on what i need to do or buy would be great
ThanksMessage Edited by Effigee on 2-5-2005 0:25 PM

Hey man, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I started messing around with the Phono 2 dials on the unit and was having no luck what so ever. I then wanted to try my microphone to make sure that it was still working from all the changes I had made. Well, when I hit the record button and talked into my mic it showed something being recorded, so I knew my mic was still working... But.... when I played the recording, It was the recording from the T.V.!!! At this point I knew I was close to getting this issue solved.

I ended up having to open my "Sounds & Audio" controller within the Windows XP Control Panel and then going to the volume section of the XF-I card and then going to file, properties, and then check the "Phono 2" port off so that I could see it listed with all of my other volume and sounds controls. I then un-muted it as you said and Bam!!!!!!! Guitar Hero on my PS2 was pumping out at my full 500W!!!! I nearly went death from the experience, but it was very gratifying!!!

Thanks for your post. It really helped to point me in the right direction. I'm now thinking of digitizing all my vinal records now into MP3's too! Thanks again man, you?re the bomb!

X FI elite pro and gigaworks s750 no sound from speakers but sound from headphones please h

hi
i own an x fi elite pro and a gigaworks s750
thing is i recently had to format my computer, before which i was getting surround sound through my speakers and headphones normally.
however i can now only get sound through my headphones.
I have the latest drivers installed and i am bald due to pulling all my hair out
if you can help please do
appreciated

realwiz,
There's a setting in the mixer software where it instruct the soundcard to mute the speaker when headphone is connected to the I/O dri've bay. Perhaps you can check if that setting has been enabled.

5.1 sound X-Fi elite pro and DTT3

Hi all?Ok, so I have an X-Fi Elite Pro, and the DTT3500 speaker setup from Creative. Both very expensi've where I li've. I could get 5. sound from my SB Li've! 5. digital, but no such luck on the X-FI. I've read all the posts, but when speaking to Creative tech support they tell a different story. I know I can get 5. (supposedly) from DVD etc. via co-ax or optical. How do I get 5. from other apps (such as VideoStudio) or games (BF242, etc.) that do not output DD or DTS?I've tried flexi jack to DIN (from card rear panel to the speaker amp), DIN to DIN (from break-out box to speaker amp) and 3 x 3.5mm stereo to DIN (from card rear panel to speaker amp) Nothing works. I get headphone sound obviously, and can get plain stereo sound (although I didn't get this setting right for optical; works with co-ax though)?(excerpt from tech support mail)
To assist you, i would suggest to connect the DDT3500 to the soundcard using the 3.5mm jack and the DIN Cable provided directly to the soundcard through the Digial In and DIN Socket.. enable the "Bit-Steam off" in the Audio Console, 2. select " Digital DIN" on the DTT3500 FacePlateIn case if you need any clarification, please do not hesitate to contactus.(/end excerpt)?I have made up a cable with 3 x 3.5 mm stereo jacks > DIN and got no sound at all from this. Tried all my solutions with digital I/O both on and off.?This is all very limiting, as apart from games that I'd like to enjoy as they're meant to be played, I also do video editing and need to proof my surround mixes. Not very happy Creative. Even the tech guy where I bought the card assured me it would work with 5....

I have never installed the updated applications available in the download page... just applications and driver for Vista 64bit inside the cd and i updated the driver with the latest one. Anyway, I: Reformatted and installed Vista.
Installed Chipset Drivers.
Installed Video Drivers.
Downloaded and installed JUST the latest SB drivers and i have that **bleep**-ing error window...Guys, it's 2 years i try to install Vista...Have i to destroy this sound card If i have to change it, i'll never buy another creative product in all my life (and till today i have bought 3 sound cards, 2 webcam, 4., 5. and 2. speakers for every computer we have in the office...). Thanks p.s.What is the DMLL.exe service, please
If i enter in the "Task Bar" is visible... if i close it and i restart the computer i find it... How can i delete it forever

X-Fi Elite PRO and Vista: dropouts and no sound. Only Changing mode in Audio-Console helps

Hi... Please help me. I have an X-Fi Elite Pro and I am experiencing a very strange problem in Vista 32. Before using Vista, I had no problems at all in XP. Sometimes when I listen to the music (Winamp) and then after listening the music start watching movie, the sound dissappears. I mean the EQ of Winamp freezes and there is no sound at all
!!! Only if I switch audio-console (in Configuration menu) to Games mode (or an other one) and back, the sound comes back... Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. It is very strange. Please, do you know a solution for that?!

In no way a 300W Power Supply has enough power for all your stuff.
2 HDD's, a power-hungry Pentium, a xfi card, dvd burner and many other stuff ...
Problems like this can happen then if your power supply has not enough power to handle all this stuff.
Get a better powersupply that can handle your stuff and I am sure it will work again. In a few cases its also possible that YOU damage your hardware on this way, if it can not get enough stable power, it might mess up your hardware. I also already blowed up a harddisk one day because I have connected too much stuff to one cable. I had 3 HDD's, Mainboard, Lights, Fans and DVD connected to one single cable. All devices there did not get enough power, harddisks made crazy sounds (on/off/on/off very fast) and after that one of my HDDs was bad.
But no ... you can't blame anyone for this. In 99% a bad power supply should not damagae your hardware, it will just make sure it does not work anymore. Since you installed that hardware, YOU are responsible for this. If a hardware-dealer would have to install this card for you, it would be his fault, but now its yours.
BTW: Why do you expect that a 300W suppy is enough!? I mean really ... think about it! See what todays PS can do, take a look how much your pentium already needs ... There are at least 00W gone for your CPU, another 00 for your Videocard and just 00 left for ALLLL the other devices like your harddisks (20-30W each one), DVD, mainboard, soundcard ... In no way this will be enough. You must have missed the last 5 years ...
BTW: I don't think that the software audio console would not work when not having connected the y-power cable. I forget that cable too one time. My console did still work, just in games I got some strange problems a lot of times (no more sound for -2 minutes, crackling and other poroblems) which got solved after I plugged in the power-cable to soundcard.Message Edited by Homey-GER on 0-7-200705:42 AM

I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and won't play

I'm listening to iheartradio through safari on my macbook pro, and two seconds into each song it freezes up and wont play the rest of the song.

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot

No digital sound through digital-out coxial

Hello,
first my config :
msi kt3ultra-ARU
Athlon XP1800+
1x256mb DDR RAM
2x80GB IBM Raid 0 (great performance !!!)
1x40 GB IBM HDD
1x LG CD-Writer
1x TEAC 32x CD-ROM
no my problem :
i connected my yamaha sorround receiver through the digital out of the s-bracket with an coxial cabel but i only get the windows sound that click clack sound but no digital sound like dts or 5.1 when i play vob-files with defenitly have digital sound. it all worked fine but i reinstalled w2k and no i only get the system-sound.
i installed the latest ac97 drivers from msi but nothing helped.

Hi,
Can you describe what did you do "before" and "after" the problem occured? Sounded like
before - no Yamaha speakers, no Win2k reinstallation
after - Win2k reinstallation, with Yamaha speakers
Or before and after (win2k installation) you have tested your Yamaha speakers and it worked?
What if you use analog output, does it sound?
If analog sound, then probably you have to check the AC'97 and Volume settings, such as to enable Digital-output etc.

Sound through speakers & headphones with Mac Pro & Vista?

Hi,
Not sure where to post this but here goes:
I have a current model Mac pro and a set of Harmon Kardon soundsticks plugged in. All is well in OS X but when in Vista i can't get sound just through the headphones? It comes through both the headphones & speakers at the same time.
How can i get round this?
Thanks.

I am having the same issue. Did you ever find a resolution? Sound worked for me for about a month, then it just stopped working one day. I have tried driver un-installation/installation/updates with Winders XP and Vista, resetting PRAM, etc... nothing works.
Is there a good USB/Firewire sound device that would work for the MacPro running Winders?
Thanks,
B

Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Plat. Pro and Playstati

I wanna hook my Playstation2 up to my PC so I can take advantage of my 7. surround sound system. I am not real sure how to go about this. I can't find any audo jacks that the Playstation2 uses on the external box of my SB card.
Any help is appriciated.

You must use the Optical output from the PS2.
Use an optical cable to hook up from the PS2 to the Optical input of the A2ZSPP Dri've.

Sound through computer AND speakers

Hi there!
Is it possible to play from iTunes either through the computer and the speakers connected in the AirPort iTunes Express simultaneoulsy? Or do you have to choose between listening in the computer or in the speakers in the station? How do we get it to play both? I have my computer in a room, and the airport in the living room, and all I wanted was sound everywhere...
Regards
CV

To play sound through both the Mac's speakers and the Airport Express at the same time, you need to use the application Airfoil.
There WILL be a noticeable delay between the sound output of the two sources.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Prob

Recently I've purchased the Creative Power Pack Pro 7., it included the Creative GigaWorks 7. S750
speakers, and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro soundcard. I've installed my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro card and setup my Sound Blaster GigaWorks S750 speakers but so far after many attempts haven't gotten them to work. I've tried all updates off the Creative site and gone through the cards settings. For some reason in the speaker settings it only lists Headphones, 2., 4. and 5. speaker settings, leaving out 7.. I've checked all plugins and hookups, and am stuck for now. I have a brand new Sony Vaio computer, so i know that my computer is not the problem. I read through all the forms and I was only able to find one other question like mine, one person answered saying that the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro is not compatible with 7. speakers. I have no clue why Creative would sell the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and GigaWorks S750 7. speakers if they are not compatible with each other. Someone please help me. Thanks.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Ad_link Cable

Hi,? I have the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and my Ad_Link cable has been damaged. I have contacted every on line auction house and everyone in and out of the United States and no one has this cable available. What I am looking for now is one of 2 things;? the specs of this cable (which is not listed in any of the documentation that came with the product, nor is it on the web-site, nor does Customer Support seem to have this information), or a comparable cable that will work in it's place.
Thanks for any help that anyone can offer.
A very frustrated,

No sound: alsa snd-hda-intel macbook pro

I can't get sound to work on my macbook pro and I'd appreciate some advice. lspci shows the following soundcard:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
According to the alsa sound card matrix, this card uses the snd-hda-intel module. I've followed the alsa article at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA. Here's what I'm seeing:
# lsmod|grep '^snd'

According to the wiki article, there should be controlC0 and pcmC0D0p devices under /dev/snd. I think the module isn't being installed correctly.
My system is a 2nd generation macbook pro. I've read that support for my card was recently added to alsa. I've had sound working under gentoo and debian by compiling snd-hda-intel statically into kernel 2.6.21. Can anyone give me advice on how to get this working?
BTW, I'm new to Arch, and I'm really impressed with it so far. Apart from sound, everything has worked well.

I'll give kamikaze-sources a try. Thanks. What exactly is kamikaze-sources? Neither the AUR page or the homepage (http://kamikaze.waninkoko.es) really explains it.
Has anyone gotten this this sound card to work in Arch and what exactly did you have to do? Unless kamikaze-sources is really easy to install, I'll probably just compile a custom kernel.

Own an X-FI Elite Pro - Getting what sounds like a CD skipping and some distortion

Interesting I have had this card for some time now...and I never experienced any kind of distortion...popping...click noises...or anything that the majority of people here have been complaining about. I though I was one of the lucky few...that has all changed.
I started playing some BF2 the other day...and of course have the in game audio settings set to ULTRA to and X-FI to make use of my XFI 64 megs of RAM...anyways, this is the same setting I have had in BF2 since I've owned the game and have had my XFI - Elite Pro.
Anways, there I am playing my game when all of a sudden from time to time I hear what sounds like an audio CD skipping! I thought at first it was just me or the game...but no...it seems to happen more often than it use to! Like its getting wores! It cleary sounds like an Audio CD skipping!
another thing I started to notice is when playing MP3s and such.... I can hear distortion in the background! Its a bit hard to explain but what it sounds like the distortion isn't in the actual audio mix...almost like background distortion!
to test I would play the same audio track on my home theatre system and to my dismay... I heard no distortion...so that would label my XFI Elite Pro as the problem.
a couple of things to note:
st.. I have 2 fans hooked up on the same rail on my PSU that connects to the XFI Elite Pro. The fans have fan controlers as well... I haven't tried this...but its possible that since the fans are hooked up to the same wire as my XFI is...its possible I may be getting some electrical interference with them.
2nd... I just updated to the latest BETA drivers released by Creative. This is where I first started to notice the problem.
I have yet to dry difference drivers or remove the fans...however, I do believe I am finally experiencing what many other have been since there purchase.
I paid a **bleep** pretty penny for my Elite Pro and deffinitly EXPECT it run PERFECT!
deffinitly unhappy thus far.
I do have an Nforce based chipset. As well as an ASUS A8N32-SLI with the most recent BIOS update.
Like I said before, I am just now getting this sounds...its possible it could be the BETA drivers, I will keep you all posted.
For the mean time, anyone have any insight or opinions for me?
thanks in advnace!

no ideas huh?
is this the same stuff everyone else is experiencing?

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used a digital speaker

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used an external digital speaker. Cannot seem to switch back to lap top speakers in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES...only showing DIGITAL out put option

Hi there Lutostan,
It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.

No Sound through Digital/Optical Out

I have connected my Macbook to my AV receiver/amp via a mini Toslink to standar Toslink cable. The Mac recognizes that it is attached to a digital output under the DVD Preferences but there is no sound through my receiver. My amp is set to receive the Optical signal and my DVD player works fine through the same input, so I know the amp connection works.
I have connected the Macbook to my 1080i TV and wanted to watch movies with digital sound.
I have done multiple searches on this website as well as searched using Google, with no fix.
I have already ensured the settings in the DVD Player are set to send the Digital signal, I have re-started the computer and still nothing.
Please Help.

I'm having the same problem. I've connected my macbook via mini toslink to standard to listen to music on my sound system. It worked fine for atleast 6 months but today it started making static and poping noises when the music was playing through the speakers. My roommate tried his 13" MacBook and the speakers work fine on his computer. After a little bit, the digital out just stopped delivering sound although it recognizes that the optical cable is plugged in (checked through preferences-->sound) But now no audio signal is sent out. The receiver on the speakers doesn't recognize any data being sent.
Anybody know how to fix this?
