X-Fi with Digital I/O Module = no Dolby Digital Out

i have buy the Digital I/O Module for my X-Fi Extrem Music and i have connect with a Koaxial Cable on my Kenwood 9060 Recei'ver. the Problem is i have only Stero signal but not Dolby Digital. in den Option from the X-Fi i have select in the Dolby option "Dolby Digital Bitstream Output" on. by Digital E/A i have select 48Khz and by FlexiJack Modus i have select Digital E/A. Speaker Settings i have select 5.. u use a Divx Movie with Dolby 5. Sound and view this with Media Player Classic with SPDIF Out. why can i hear only Stereo and not Dolby 5. on the Kennwod ?

See the sticky at the top of this forum, http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=270
Basically the root cause is that CL cards don't have a D/DD encoder. The bitstream option affects what happens w/ the bitstream read off a DVD.. If the sound was created by the a CL card it will be stereo at best.

  • G510 Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio doesnt work driver problem with Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    my Lenovo G510 has Windows 8.1 64-bit.
    In the system menue of Hardware and Sound I can see two entries:
    1) Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio
    2) Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio (32-bit)
    Clicking on the first entry a control panel appears. Does this mean that Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio is always running in the backround? There is no entry in the systray.
    Clicking on the second entry this error message appears:
    Your current installed version is 7.3.2.2 of the Dolby Digital Plus audio driver. The software needs the driver version 7.5.1.1. Installe a correct combination of driver and software.
    What to do with this? I searched for a solution and drivers but couldn´t find anything.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Dolby Digital Surround Sound dropping out with channel chang

    Currently I have my cable box hooked up to my extrenal I/O box for my Audigy Platinum Pro ZS2 via my cable boxes SPDIF optical out to the I/O boxes optical in. With my initial set up I went to the AudioHQ and changed my Device Controls/Digital Input controls to SPDIF (Dolby Digital/DTS SPDIF-In Decode) and I had beautiful surround sound, but the only problem is that when I change the channel I lose all sound and I have to go back to the AudioHQ controls and change the Digital Input setting back to the (Default) setting and then change it back to the SPDIFDolby digital....etc, and then the sound comes back. So why is it that whenever I change the channel I lose my optical connection?and sound?and have to reset my Digital Input settings in order to get the sound back?Somebody please help...thanks. Jacob

    Sry, your comment is 5 month old, but i have to ask you some thing too:
    What headset do you use for the surround sound? I read EVERYWERE that headsets can just output games / music in stereo... for example the logitech g35...
    Hope you can help me

  • Digital Sound Dolby Digital .. I miss Soundstorm :( (Neo4 Platinum)

    Ok Im having EXTREME problems, Im so so so dissapointed in this motherboards sound (MSI Neo4 Platinum) When I saw that it had 7.1 I was sure it was dolby digital compatible, but its just this junky crap analog setup....  Now Ive been looking into sound cards, and  I have no clue what to do..
    From what I've read my old board (Nforce2 Ultra) was the only SOUnd chip, ONBOARD or SOUND CARD to have DOLBY DIGITAL ENCODING .. encoding = sends dolby digital 5.1 to my Home Theater setup.
    I have a 7.1 Harmon Kardon, and with my nforce 2 ultra, the coaxial digital output to my surroudn receiver came in as dolby digital, and the sound was incredibly, now Ive got this crap hissing analog sound on a NFORCE 4 Ultra... I really hate Nvidia for their decision on dropping soundstorm, And now Im trying to to hookup my computer to my receiver to get digital and digital 5.1 ( I dont absolutely need 7.1 for my computer) .
    Does anyone know of any sound cards that have DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1/ EX, DTS, ENCODING.. not decoding, all of them do decoding, but encoding .. from what Ive read.. is needed to output true 5.1 to my home receiver.

    Quote from: master0068 on 11-February-05, 09:47:05
    One thing that just blows my mind... is Why the **** did the dumb a$$es include Optical and Coaxial outputs on these boards.... (MSI NEO4 Platinum)  and many other Nforce 4 ultra boards.....
    I mean.. if they arent even dolby digital , and they dont even have ENCODERS, than why would you use digital ouputs???
    Becuase PC's "evolve" and end up with "items" which where required once, but then become the PC equivelent of the human "appendix".
    Your taking for granted that even  dolby DECODERS have always been around. They wern't, and at first the only way to get surround from DVD' was to use the SPDIF to an external decoder. 

  • Creative Digital I/O Module with Audigy 2 ZS Problems

    5Creative Digital I/O Module with Audigy 2 ZS Problems? Hello - new to the forums, but a long time Soundblaster user.
    I have read pkc's Digital Connections FAQ, but i am still struggling with my digital setup:
    I have had an Audigy 2 ZS for some time. I have recently bought a surround sound amp and want to connect my PC to the amp digitally using the Audigy 2 ZS. So i have bought the Creative Digital I/O Module which understand is perfect for connecting the two, but i cannot get any output from it.
    Firstly, the Creative Digital I/O Module is part no. SB0002 and has a 4 pole mini jack. I have connected it to the digital output of the Audigy. I have then connected the i/o module to the amp using digital coax cable. The amp receives no signal from the module and also i cannot see any light from the module's optical output. What do i need to do to get the i.o module working with the Audigy and sound to the amp?
    Secondly, i have read in pjc's post that the digital output can act as a digital coax, but how do connect a 4-pole mini jack output to a single phono jack for the digital coax?
    Thanks in advance for any advice here.

  • 5.1 sound with Digital I/O Module + Vista + X

    Hello, I tried searching the forum and even browsed through 6 pages looking for a solution but I am stumped. I have an X-Fi XtremeGamer with the 002 drivers installed in Vista x32. I bought the Digital I/O Module from Creative and have the optical cable running to my Klipsch Decoder control box. I can not for the life of me figure out how to output the digital signal correctly. Do I set the Speakers item in the playback devices as default and enable Digital I/O in the custom tab Or do I check select SPDIF Out as my default device. I have tried many combinations and just can't get it to work. Any help Thanks

    Thanks again for your continued help. My speaker set is the Klipsch ProMedia GMX D-5. System. I'm sure too that it is not the Klipsch as other sources (i.e. Digital Coax, Analog, and even another Digital Optical) decode and play properly. I'm not sure what X-Fi model I have as I can't take the computer apart right now but will try and do that this weekend. I downloaded and installed the Dell driver dll but still can't get it to work. How do you test your sound Can I just have the speaker configurer test each speaker or should I put a Dolby Digital DVD in I have my 5. headphones plugged into the speaker ports. Does that interfere with the digital out When I look at the Optical cable I do not see a red beam of light so I think it is still in the settings.Here are my settings and questions screen for screen.http://www.musicforourfuture.com/digitalio/sound.JPG In this screen should the green check mark be on speakers or SPDIF Out When I set it on SPDIF Out the green volume bar does bounce up and down but I don't here anything. http://www.musicforourfuture.com/dig...properties.JPG In the SPDIF Out configuration screen what does the Dri'vebay RCA Jack mean Does this look right http://www.musicforourfuture.com/dig...%20formats.JPG These are my format settings. The Klipsch doesn't do DTS. http://www.musicforourfuture.com/dig...20advanced.JPG These are my "Advanced" options. Correct http://www.musicforourfuture.com/dig...nable%20io.JPG I've got this checked in the Speakers configuration. http://www.musicforourfuture.com/dig...%20blaster.JPG Is the CMSS-3D suppossed to be listed here http://www.musicforourfuture.com/dig...ole%20dell.JPG I should have the Dolby Digital button checked since I'm using an external decoder, right http://www.musicforourfuture.com/dig...le%20spdif.JPG Should the Digital Out be 48 or 96 Khz or does it matter Sorry for the long post ... just trying to be thorough.

  • Need I/O module to use digital sound with Audigy

    Am I understanding this correctly that I need to buy another piece of equiptment to make the sound card work for digital sound? A Digital I/O module for another $5?Seems pretty dumb not to include this.

    No, you DON'T need the Digital I/O to use the digital output of your card. Just a plain 3.5mm stereo jack with a pair of RCA connectors on the other end - it will give you the digital coaxial connection. If you want optical digital connection, yes, you need the extra module.And for that speakers, NO, you cannot use a digital connection. Read the manual...Message Edited by SoNic2367 on 08-07-200709:0 PM

  • 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).

  • Unable to enable SPDIF??? X-Fi XtremeGamer (non-PRO) w/ Digital I/O Module

    JUnable to enable SPDIF? X-Fi XtremeGamer (non-PRO) w/ Digital I/O Module? I recently purchased the Digital I/O module in order to use SPDIF Out on my X-Fi XtremeGamer in order to send audio to my 5. receiver via digital coax.
    However after hooking up my Digital I/O module to the flexijack (the one with the red light) I am unable to enable SPDIF.
    I read and followed the directions listed here:

    I am running the most current drivers and console launcher that Creative has on their website.
    I have been trying to get it to work both under Windows XP and Windows 7.
    I have spent the last 3 hours beating my head on a wall, I hope someone can help me with this...
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Ah that's what I am afraid of.
    Quoted from the article in your message: "For SB073X series : Supports Microphone-in, Line-in and Optical out connections. On a SB073X series card, this jack does not have the Digital-in function to support the Digital I/O Module. It does however connects to external digital audio devices that accept stereo PCM or compressed Dolby Digital/DTS Bitstream from the Optical output. This will require using a "Toslink to Mini Toslink" cable for connection only."

  • Optical connection without Digital I/O module

    I have a PS3 and Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme music...
    I want to connect the optical out of PS3 to my sound card's flexi jack(Mic/Linein/Digital I/O socket). I want to do this because I have Creative analog 7. speakers Inspire 7900.
    I understand i can do this by buying the Creative Digital I/O module
    http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=3&subcategory=55&product=780
    I guess there is no conversion happening inside that.
    So is there a cable that I can directly connect from PS3 Optical out ---> Flexi jack on the extreme music sound card?
    Please help me out guys. I am from India and buying that digtial I/O module is nearly impossible here as its not available Message Edited by Oblivioner on 07-2-20070:44 AM

    rry Oblivioner but this cable only is spdif OUT (my english is very bad and don?t see you want SPdif IN).
    You can change the pinout of the conector and test with spdif IN but in think dont work

    This pinout is originally founded by Samir. In Audigy 2 ZS, connecting pins 25 and 35 together will fake Audigy dri've. In X-Fi, that trick doesn't work. No work around has been found yet. Cannot get SPDIF IN, I2S Input and MIDI I/O to work without it. SPDIF outs work fine without trick.

    Message Edited by pedrom on 09-26-2006 02:04 PM

    There's a digital output on the card itself. 'tis the farthest one from the motherboard I beli've.
    What you erally need is a cable like t his one:
    http://www.needledoctor.com/Sony-RK-...=2&category=92
    Plug the mini-plug end into the soundcard and one of the outputs ( the left channel I believe ) will have the digital output.
    You will only get surround sound via the decoder if when playing back pre-encoded DD/DTS content like DVDs. Games and stuff will playback in stereo when connected digitally as SPDIF only supports compressed multi-channel bitstreams or uncompressed 2 channel audio. No Creative card at present offers real time DD/DTS encoding ( there're other cards which do which support Dolby Digital Li've! or DTS Connect. ) Creative have a DTS encoder called the DTS-60 which can take analogue signals from the soundcard ( stereo mini-plug x 3 ) and encode it to DTS for output via a coaxial or optical SPDIF in real time. I've never used the DTS-60 and can't comment on how good it is. Also note that the Audigy 2 ZS has weak bass redirection if using the DTS-60 and the 60 lacks bass redirection of its own so you could very well end up with a 'bass-less' signal if you're connecting to small speakers, unless your decoder has volume controls for the subwoofer.Message Edited by nvidiot on 09-27-2006 0:32 PM

  • Audigy 2 ZS and Digital I/O module compatibili

    Hi,?Looking to build a HTPC and thinking about using the Audigy 2 ZS as my sound card. I have a question about it though. Accourding to this- - http://us.creative.com/local//produc...es/sbchart.asp?the Digital I/O module is not compatible with the 2 ZS. I downloaded the manual for the Audigy 2 ZS and it says to use a 3.50 mm (/8-inch) mono-to-RCA cable and I cannot find one of those anywhere, and it appears to me that the Digital I/O module does basically the same thing. So will the Digital I/O work with the 2 ZS or does anyone know where I can get that 3.5 mm mono to RCA cable, it has to be a coaxil digital cable though.
    My goal is to have Dolby Digital sound just my my DVD player I have now only with my PC so I can have one media hub, my HTPC. Also if anyone has built a HTPC and has a good setup please reccomend Im open to all suggestions,? Thanks for anyhelp at all.

    sprint_9,
    Yes, you're right. The Digital I/O module isn't compatible with the Audigy 2 ZS soundcard.
    You should be able to find a 3.5mm mono to RCA cable easily from your local audio/electronic stores if not, you can also get a 3.5mm stereo to dual RCA cable for the same purpose. Take note, only one end of the RCA cable has the audio signal(Sorry, can't remember whether it's the white or the red end).
    You can also find such cable from online stores like this.

  • Digital I/O Module and 5.1 digital speak

    Hello all,
    First of all, excuse me for my English. I will try to explain my problem the best I can.
    I have a Sound Blaster Audigy installed on my PC. I wanted to use it with a 5. digital speakers system (with digital optical input). On the soundcard instructions I read about the "Digital I/O Module", that allows you to connect 5. digital speakers. Then, I bought it (on creative online shop), and I have received it today. But, when I have connected it to the speaker system, the output sound is only 2.0. I have selected 5. on speaker configuration, but in the test, it only sounds the front left and right speakers. I have tried with a DVD movie, and the sound is only 2.0, also. Is there any way to play 5. sound on DVD movies (and AC3 sound system, if possible) with my configuration?
    In other forum posts, I have read something about this problem, but I can not find any solution for it, or if it is possible to solve it.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Error -200279 with simultaneous analog input (different devices) and digital output.

    Hi guys,
    I am a beginner in Labview and have been dealing with this problem for a couple of weeks now and just can't seem to get it completely right, I have a feeling there are a few small bugs in my code/hardware setup.
    I am running an scxi-1000 chassis with a 1600 module and 1302C along with a 1303 accesory for temperature measurements, this is connected to four thermoucouples. Unfortunately I have a limited number of modules available so I am also using a PCI-6221 DAQ card with an scb-68 breakout box used for a digital output and analog input voltage channel. Attached is my labview program. When I run the code at a 50 Hz sampling rate it runs with no errors but the data file comes out extremely wrong, this is also attached. When I run the code at 100 Hz I get error-200279 after a few loops. I used to have 2 daqmx timing VIs (one for each input), but the same error would eventually happen, I have also tried increasing the buffer size on said timing VI. I am also using an old computer (Pentium IV) could this effect the program?
    I have learned a lot going through forms for similar problems to mine but I just can't get it to for an extended period of time, I have posted my simplest code.
    Thanks in advance,
    Luca

    Ok this makes sense. I have made the suggested modifications but still getting the same error with sampling rates of 100 Hz or higher. Could you check that I have implemented the queue VIs properly (new file attached)? Also when running at 50 Hz in debug mode it does not look like the second while loop (with the dequeue element) comes into play until I hit the stop button, once I hit the stop button I get the following error:
    Error 1 occurred at Dequeue Element in FinalCombined_2.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    LabVIEW: An input parameter is invalid. For example if the input is a path, the path might contain a character not allowed by the OS such as ? or @.
    =========================
    NI-488: Command requires GPIB Controller to be Controller-In-Charge.
    This leads me to believe I have programmed the queue elements incorrectly.
    Thanks for your help, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
