Using Sound Blaster Digital Music (ext. snd ca

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to configure my computer to use the above mentioned sound card solely as a input device,
i.e. use my internal sound card for playback, but plug my mic in or line in devices via the Digital Music external sound card for recording?
or is it a self defeating, silly thing to try to do?
thanks,
jh

Will the Sound Blaster Digital I/O Module enable me to use my DTT3500's with my audigy

I have a vanilla audigy 4. Just found out that it only supports 2. digital speakers. My DTT3500's are 5. and in the spaeker test only the front left and right make a sound, as digital 2.. will the Sound Blaster Digital I/O Module enable me to get digital 5. as my old soundblaster li've platinum 5. let me do? ie. all speakers show up in the speaker test?
yours sincerely,
john kelly

No. The digital output module is simply an adaptor to standard 2-channel connections such as optical, coaxial etc. Even if it includes the bigger 9-pin DIN connector which was the first generation of the DIN connectors, the Digital Output on the Audigy 4 is still only giving it 2 channels of sound, so all rest speakers will be silent.
If you are interested and have the skills you may modify the DTT3500 to support an extra analog connection for the center channel, the instructions were posted on this forum somewhere. Do a search...
There is really no other way to have the center channel receiving the signal from the card. (Theoretically you could modify the card to get the signals from there, but the chances are you will most propably destroy it in the process).

Sound Blaster Extreme Music do not detect changes on the console

I'm using the sound blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic with Logitech Z-5500 and the Flexi Jack, connected on Digital mode (Using Coaxial and Optical). The OS? Is Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bits.
The problem at this moment is that I can not make any change on the console configuration, I mean, if I change the speaker connection or change any parameter of the configuration has no reaction,I even change the EAX effects, the CMSS-3D ad nothing happen, all that I can control with the console launcher is the volume.
I reinstall the drivers and download from the website the latest drivers I found and same problem.
?Any help?
THANKS?

Choose Soundblaster in the dropdown box and you will see XFi listed , you will find the latest drivers there....Seems rather strange to me since this is a XFi card, but hey I did not design the Website......

?Using Sound Blaster to record ta

I have a Sound Blaster 24-bit external device ( Model: SB0490) that I am trying to configure,?I want to record tapes and?eventually transfer the audio files to my husband's IPod. I have used the device before to record tapes and LP's and that worked well. The system is the same and so are the different componets. I am using a simple tape player that only has an earjack plug for the out.
I can not get the device to recognize the sound from the tape player, the level guide stays flat and does not show any changes. I do make sure the box is checked to allow for the level to be seen visually.
When I did?the recording?before I know that I had to figure out the set-up as the paper documention?and support files did not cover the needed configuration. Yet I did figure it out at that point. I do not?remember now how I connected everything then. The speakers are working in my normal set-up, I have a simple set-up of 2 speakers. I have hooked them to the "front" plug and tried putting the tape player in both the "mic-in" and "line in" outlets and neither plug registers a sound in the level gauge. I believe that when I did it before that I had to use a splitter, this may be due to needing to listen on a head-set so that I did not disturb others while I was recording. I have tried so many configurations and still can not seem to enable Sound Blaster correctly. Even when I can hear the tape player the system still does not register on the gauge. I have tried adjusting both the sound level manually on both the tape player and Sound Blaster with no difference. I should add that I am trying to tape a booktape which uses a dual outlet plug adapter as each side of the tape has two tracks. After the taping of one track I change to the other outlet and record the other track. I don't know that this would make a difference but it may. I am a novice when it comes to this so I'm probably over-looking something simple in the set-up. And although I figured it out before I am at a loss now. If anyone has?a solution?I would appreciate a reply. Thanks much!?

jutapa - Thanks for the question on the ITunes. The tape player I am using is not a good tape player, i.e. it doesn't have any way to adjust things like the sound quality, etc. Just a plug for the earphones, whether I want to play a CD, tape or radio.
I am using book tapes on the tape player as my item to record and I don't have another tape player available. Wondering if something in Windows programs was overriding the sound Blaster device I tried to forego?the Sound Blaster and plug?the player?straight into the computer and the computer does not recognize it all. Likely because it's not a digital device. I did use?the radio setting last night?to see?if there was any difference, the same lack of sound happened. When I recorded before I didn't have too much problem figuring this all out - listening on earphones while I was taping - was the biggest thing. I?believe I used a splitter for that. I use Itunes for CD's all the time with no problems. In?the current?situation I get sound in my ear-micphones. ?Maybe the problem is in the ear-mic phones - perhaps I used a different earphones before? I think I have used up options with the cords, all kinds of Rube Goldberg configurations starting out with what seemed to be logical ..... my thinking was that sooner or later something?is bound to work. I checked all the levels and the volume is set?at full for mic, line-in, etc. I'm going to hit Radio Shack later today and see what they have in cords - maybe my cords are damaged in some fashion. Again thanks for your comment. If I figure out the problem I will post the solution in case anyone else runs into the problem. Thanks again.

Using Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 as a decoder for an external DVD-pla

Can the Sound Blaster Li've! 5. soundcard be used as a dolby digital decoder for an external DVD-player? The way I was thinking to do this is to use an RCA to 3.5 mm audiocord from the DVD-player and plug it into the soundcards line-in. Will it decode the dolby digital signal and pass it to the speakers?

the line in (2.0 channel) can never decode a dobly digital signal you need an coaxical or optical cable to pass it trouch the soundcard and listen with you speakers, and btw and audigy li've 5. cant support digital input you need a newer soundcard like a audigy 2, 4 or xfi with the external dri've bay

Sound Blaster Digital I/O Mod

Desperately trying to find one of these.
It seems out of stock at every store on the internet, not even eBay has them.
Some websites that have real-time inventory updates tell me that they have - or even -7, (not sure how this is possible.) Other say they are "Past Due" for them, another that it wont be in until July 5th.
It seems to me like this product has been discontinued, not just on backorder.
Anyone know anything concrete?

Bump...
If this is the incorrect forum to ask for info on this product, please let me know.
I really need one of these little buggers...

Hello, problem with sb digital music

I have the sound card: usb sound blaster digital music lx about a few months, and it worked fine with win xp, a few days ago i purchased a laptop with win vista, i installed the driver from the creative site.. The problam is that in spdif passthrough the signal that comes to the receiver is broken, i uploaded a video that demonstrate the problam:http://rapidshare.com/files/63707662/DSCN246.MOV.htmlIn general the sound is not clear like?it was in?win xp, there is interruptions in the sound..... I am very desperate and waiting for your reply. Thank you very much,Nati?

I have 64bit vista with 4GB ram, evga 680i mb, c2d, 8800gtx sli and nothing but loud static pours out of my speakers using the latest driver (2_5_0002) but when using the 2_3_002 driver the sound is fairly normal. The thing is I waited 6 months since last driver release hoping this latest release would fix the problem only to find that nothing is changed as far as static/noise. Guess I might as well take this card out and throw it in the trash. It's nothing but a worthless steaming pile!Message Edited by oldpaint on -04-20070:45 AM

"Digital Music" and Itu

Does anyone know if?Sound Blaster Digital Music works?with itunes AAC files. the details on the creative web page only mention MPS/WAV files. I have played itunes out of my pc through a stereo amp and it sounds awful, looking at some way of improving the sound back up to cd sound. I only have an intergrated sound card. If 'Digital Music' cannot do this does anyone know of a way to do it's?

Can't install Sound Blaster live 5.1 on Windows XP machine

Hi,
I've been using?Sound Blaster Li've! Platinum 5. on my pc running Win ME for years. I've just formatted the PC and installed Windows XP Professional on it and now when I try to install Sound Blaster from the original installation CD, I get the error "Sound blaster li've 5. is incompatible with this version of windows". It still allows me to install but then I get all sorts of errors when playing back audio files etc.
I've now?re-installed XP but obviously can't use Sound Blaster and I would really like to!
I'm a musician and not?technically minded?at all so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - Abrie

Sound Blaster Cinema with z87 g45

Hi to all.
I have the z87 g45 motherboard and I can't use Sound Blaster. When I open it, there's this text:
Quote
The current audio device is disabled, not present, not supported by the application, or has unplugged jack connestions. Do you want to select another audio device now?
And if I click Yes
Quote
There is no supported audio device available.
I already have installed che realtek hd audio, so what's the problem? Thanks.

Same Problem here. System is irrelevant. Got the Problem on Win7 64b; Win8 64b and Win8.1 64b ... Seems to have happened after updating Sound drivers on my PC. Couldn't even get it back with reinstallation of Windows in general!

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
Michael
