Will Xbox, Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers and Audigy 2 NX combo decode dolby digit

Hi there
I have a Xbox, Logitech X-530 5. speaker system and Audigy 2 NX sound card. I want Audigy 2 NX sound card to decode dolby digital from its optical-in? (optical in is from the XBOX) .. Is it possible? If yes, how? If not, what is the solution? Can Extigy external sound card do it's
Also, can be Audigy 2 NX external sound card be stand alone instead of always being connected to the PC? I just want it to be connected to XBOX to decode dolby digital 5...
Thanks!

it is relevant for me to post in here as someone was asking if the aud 2 zs plat dri'ves optical in or coaxial in could be used for connecting up to an external source sch as dvd player, xbox.
And i am in technical supports hand about my prouducts, so if yo u ban me i will be insisting they take action against you , as i have a valid reason for posting into these forums.
I have spent over ?3,000 on creative proucts, and the last 2 things i purchased from, creative cost ?450 the gigaworks s 750 speakers, and the audigy 2 zs platinum.
And therefore i am entitled to speak the truth.
Some one asked if the connection is possible, i am not the only person using the hardware that is having decoding lag whilst using optical in on li've dri've, it's just that not many people that have this hardware are using it like this, so they don't realise that they will have problems if they ever decide to use external dvd players, instead of the software ones like powerdvd windvd etc.
I am forwarding this entire thread to creative technical support guy that i am dealing with so he can see i am not doing anything wrong, you need to look at my other post with regards to the audigy 2 li've dri've having the exact pcb model number revisions etc, as the audigy2 zs platinum li've dri've, and that the combination of the audigy 2 li've dri've not being a connection that creative will offer support for, which is another thing i will be asking creative when i phone tech support up tomorrow, as i want to speak to someone higher up about this.
And you say you are testing this at home and cannot replicate this issue.
Can i ask what speakers you are using.
What soundcard are you using, are you using the aud 2zs plat version not the plat pro version.
Also what make of dvd player are you using to play dvds on, what spdif option your using in external dvd player ?
And what are the model numbers on your audigy 2 zs platinum li've dri've motherboard ?
Also what driver version are you using for the zs plat card ?
As i have used the supplied disc version, and updated to latest versions makes no difference.

Boston Acoustic Digital Speakers and Audigy 2zs card for notebook

Please help, I have a Boston Acoustic Digital Speakers and an IBM T43P notebook computer that i just purchased a Sound blaster Audigy 2 Zs pcimia card for. the problem is that when i connect the digital speakers i get no sound. I tried looking for the digital output option but cant find one on my computer

No, their external card don't have those digital out jack. You have to go for their pci sound card if not guess it's time you change those speaker.

5.1 sound in games with Creative Digital-Speakers and Audigy 2

Hi!
I know that you can't have real 5. sound (only upmix) in games with Creative Digital-Speakers. Is it possible to connect, without the decoder box, the soundcard with the subwoofer (Line-Out -3)? I want to make the cable for LIN_OUT 3 by myself, but which of the 4 pins are for the subwoofer, center front or center rear (ground is clear)?

Go to Knowledge Base article SID3069 then expand the "7. Soundblaster Cards".
It is possible to have 5. digital sound in games if your Creative speaker system has a digital DIN connection.

Anyone with 5.1 speakers and audigy 2.......might have this bug too.......

When you turn on your cmss2 not cmss AND you have eax ON do you get sound from your center speaker?
cmss2 + eax = center speaker off..................is it supposed to be off?
cmss + eax= center speaker on
what happens with you?
Thank you come again.Message Edited by kryptonian on 02-04-2005 09:06 PM

Krypto,
Center channel works fine for me in all modes.
I turned on WMP 0 with a few mp3's. CMSS, CMSS + EAX Effect, CMSS2, CMSS2 + Effect. I went through several effects w/ CMSS & 2.
I did notice a couple things that could be affecting you though. I have the CMSS "Fader" for lack of a better term.. it moves the stereo focus from front speakers to back speakers.. set to 0%, which is balanced between front and back. Also, in the EAX Effect pane there this the effect amount. When I played w/ these two sliders and different effects, I noticed the center speaker did get very faint at times. Sometimes all that could be heard was reverb or echo.
Maybe it's the unique combination of CMSS setting and effect amount, plus the type of center speaker you have just not getting enough power?
Hope this hel
ps.

Recommend new speakers to replace logitech k-530? don't really need 5.1, but 2.1 would suffice

Just setting up my Imac. Learning that my Logitech K-530 system from my pc, is not very compatible due to the fact the Imac outputs digital/optical audio, but the old system wants analog.
So, I suppose I really don't need 5.1 sound, since the system is in my office. The suggestion from Apple is about a 500 dollar system, which I will not spend.
Alternatives?

If you wanted to keep the K-530's, you could use a Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter and a 3.5mm to Stereo RCA Male Cable.
In not, check out 2.1 systems from Creative Labs systems or some different Logitech systems.
Keeping in mind that a iMac supports both Analog and Digital output from the 3.5mm Headphone Jack plus some USB systems.

Logitech Z506 5.1 Speakers and Apple TV - how to set up?

Hi,
As of now, to watch movies I've got an old Mac Mini conntected via VGA to an HP screen and a 2.1 Logitech speaker system plugged into the Mini. For listening to music, I simply plug the speakers into my iPhone or Mac.
Now that my 2.1 speakers are broken, I was thinking about buying the Logitech Z506 5.1 speakers and an Apple TV so I could stream music and video from my iOS and OS X devices and use my HP screen in combination with the Logitech speakers.
There are two basic problems for this set up to work:
1. The Apple TV doesn't seem to have a connector that would allow me to directly plug in the Logitech Z506 speakers.
2. My HP screen does have subpar speakers built-in and thus no connectors for external speakers – therefor, I can't use the screen as an intermediate between the Apple TV and the Logitech Z506 speakers.
How would I have to set up the Apple TV, the Logtiech Z506 speakers and my HP screen to be able to have 5.1 sound for watching movies and listenting to music?
Here's a link to the Logitech speakers I'm refering to, http://www.logitech.com/product/surround-sound-speakers-z506
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
best, Ian

Ian,
You'll need a digtial to analog converter to connect your digital Apple TV to your analog Z-506 speakers.
One like this will output 5.1 sound for you.
http://www.amazon.com/Panlong-Audio-Digital-Decoder-Converter/dp/B00AMC2J1Y
The Apple TV connects via TOSLINK/optical cable to one side, and you connect your speaker's mini-jacks to the blue mini ports (each port handles 2 channels).
I have the same issue connecting my digital out TV to analog computer speakers.

What speakers will work with iPod shuffle 2G, what speakers will work with iPod shuffle 2G

What speakers will work with iPod shuffle?

Any speakers that are self-powered (has its own power supply), and connect using standard 1/8-inch "mini-sterio" jack (the same connector on regular headphones).

Since I upgraded to IOS8, iphone has changed the way it calls via car bluetooth. Before (IOS8) once I hit 'call' it was transfer to car speakers and i would hear dial tone until answer. Now, call will only transfer to speakers once call is answered

Since I upgraded to IOS8, iphone has changed the way it calls via car bluetooth. Before (IOS8) once I hit 'call' it was transfer to car speakers and i would hear dial tone until answer. Now, call will only transfer to speakers once call is answered. This is very incovenient as I never know if my call is going through, and sometimes when call isn't answered immediately I have to look at my phone to cancel the call. Is there a new setting I am missing?

Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.

Logitech S 530: Mac Mini sometimes doesn't recognise the keyboard/mouse

Hi!
I bought the Logitech S 530 for my Mac Mini Intel Core Solo some weeks ago. Sometimes the mac doesn't recognize the keyboard/mouse set and the Logitech Control Center say "No logitech-hardware found". And then all the extra buttons on my mouse and keyboard doesn't work. A simple restart doesn't solve the problem. Often I habe to switch of the computer or even deinstall und reinstall the driver. I wrote to the Logitech Support, and they told me to delete as a root-user some files and then to reinstall the Logitech Control Center. I did it, but the problem wasn't solved. Even if the Logitech Control Center told me, that the hardware wasn't found, the system profiler say:
USB Receiver:
Version: 22.40
Bus-Strom (mA): 500
Geschwindigkeit: Bis zu 1,5 MBit/s
Hersteller: Logitech
Produkt-ID: 0xc50c
Hersteller-ID: 0x046d
Does anyone have a idea about this problem?
Thank you,
Sebastian

Hi!
Has it continued to work alright since your last post
on Sept. 30?
Yes, it works very good (as you can read, because I type on it!)
But I got some news from the APE-Support:
They told me, that this message in the system.log isn't a error message: "You'll see these messages simply to inform that Application Enhancer cannot and does not affect processes owned by root. They are purely informative." Then I asked, why this "information" is written in the system.log I got another mail. They told me, that this message came from a maxtor software, which I installed to use my externel drive. and: "The maxtor software doesn't use APE at all. APE is saying it cannot affect the software in any manner, in case you were expecting it to work with the maxtor software. I'm not sure if that maxtor software even works. If you don't use the button on your maxtor drive, you can just disable the maxtor software completely."
So, I seems that there is a problem between this logitech driver with APE and the Maxtor-Stuff. But, Ashleyn, do you use the maxtor software too?

I hooked up external speakers and the sound will only come out of 1 speaker

I have an electronic karaoke system on my HP envy dv7 Notebook and I just bought 2 new Mackey Powered Speakers and a new Mackey ProFX12 mixing board. I can only get sound to come out of 1 speaker. How do I get the sound to come out of the Right and the Left at the same time? Thanks for any input or help you can provide.

You may have dust or a small object in your headphone jack. You can purchase cans of air from computing stores that can clear any dust that may be causing the problem. If that doesn't work then a larger object may have damaged part of the jack at which point it would be advised to visit your local Genius Bar and see what repairs they can offer. Try not to insert any other objects especially ones with sharp edges into the jack as this often creates further damage. Hope everything is working again soon.

Xbox and Audigy 2 NX

Hello! I have a question if it is possible to hook up my xbox and my speakers (Logitech x-620) with the external soundcard Audigy 2 NX Usb. I want the sound from the xbox go through the Audigy 2 NX and come out of the speakers as 5. Digital Surround.Sincerely: George

The only way this will work is if the Logitech x-620 are digital speakers connected to either the s/pdif coax or optical out of the sound card.

Turn on Full Range Speakers and Bass Redirecti

I have the Logitech X-530 (5.) speaker system connected to my X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card. In the Vista Speaker Setup, it says to select "full-range speakers." Am I supposed to select the speakers Also, I have Bass Redirection turned on in the X-Fi audio console, since apparently it's supposed to make the subwoofer work better, is this true

As far as I know, the default "Bass Redirection" scheme that comes with Sound Blasters will redirect bass from the 5 channels to the subwoofer. Not the opposite. Also notice, that most speakers have a built-in crossover network that does just that. So even if you did redirect the bass to the speakers from the soundcard it would end up in the subwoofer. However when doing the redirection on the soundcard in the digital domain, they have to normalize the signal to avoid clipping. This explains the "lower" bass level you are experiencing with bass redirection set to on. If your speakers didn't have a cross-over network, you wouldn't hear anything from the sub unless you enabled "bass redirection"?Now I don't think that behaviour would change in games, but games do tend to have more "bassy" sound. My suggestion is to keep "Bass Redirection" off under all circumstances and use the Equalizer or the Subwoofer volume knob (most 5. systems have one) to bring the level to your liking. PS:? The X-Fi also has a "+5dB Bass Boost" option to alleviate the effects of normalization, which you can experiment with.

Logitech z906 5.1 surround sound and iMac 27 inch-how do i set up and get surround sound?

I just purchased logitech z906 surround sound 5.1 speakers and also have the new imac 27 inch fully loaded.

I will appreciate everyone's input and also will take any brand name suggestions as to if I will need to buy any other supplies to truly enjoy these speakers.
Thanks everyone.

Hi there
If you have a 2010 + MacBook Pro, then you will be able to play audio/video via the MiniDisplay Port to HDMI. You can purchase an adapter from here, or a 3rd party adapter from here.

(newbie and technophobe here) Help with speakers and web camera ...

Hello, everyone!
I've had my G-5 since I ordered new in November of 2005, and only now am I geting around to purchasing speakers and musing about a web camera.
On speakers, the kid at Best Buy yesterday told me that speakers aren't really operating system specific. That is, that they plug and play into any computer and don't require any software; like speakers do to a stereo. However, I just noticed the speakers I bought (Logitech Z-10) for $120.00 do not have "Macintosh" listed on the box as it does for a PC on the Requirements listing. Before I open this box and find out they don't work properly, do I really need Mac specific speakers?
I also went to the Mac store here in Fashion Valley and they no longer carried any web cameras. After visiting three other computer retailers such as Best Buy, and Frys, I came up dry on cameras for a Mac. I do however have an Ebay merchant selling a MacAlly iceCam Web Camera Mac right here in town who I can drive over and purchase one if I want to. However, after going on Ebay, I noticed that the $300.00 Mac iSight camera is there for sale, so I was wondering what the difference was. The MacAlly one is around $27.00, whereas the iSight is close to $300.00. Is the iSight worth the price in other words? What can it do that the MacAlly can't? Would the MacAlly suffice just to talk to another across the country?
Thank you.
G-5 Imac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Martin, Rod:
Thank you for your responses. I think I have Panther(10.3.9), so will iChatAV be in that system, or will I have to upgrade to Tiger in order to make full use of an iSight camera ? Can I web camera with AOL subscribers, or am I pretty much limited as to who I can conference with?
Thank you for clearing up the speaker thing. It looks like I'll be returning them to Best Buy tomorrow, and then start a search for Apple specific speakers. Thanks again.
iSight question: It looks like I'm going to have to purchase an iSight web camera at an overinflated price at a site such as Ebay since Apple no longer produces them, so my question is, Does anyone know whether the camera came with software or manuals (In case the seller doesn't have any) ... or does one actually need any?
Keychain Question: What's this annoying keychain box that pops up everytime I use Safari? How do I get rid of it? What's it for? What am I supposedly unlocking? I don't think I have a keychain password.
Thank you all for your assistance,
