X-Fi XtremeMusic with Digital I/O mod

Hi,
I have acquired a Digital I/O module and am trying to have it output stereo sound to my speakers.
I have connected one end of a coaxial cable to the DIO module and the other end of the coaxial cable to my speakers' digital input coaxial port. These speakers are by Altec Lansing and the model number is ADA-885.
My speakers operate in a few modes: Stereo, StereoX2, Pro-logic, Quad (4.) or DD5. decoding mode. It has three inputs:
analog FRONT
analog REAR
SPDIF digital in (either PCM stereo OR DD5. bitstream)
In addition to the digital connection, I have connected the analog ports of the rear speakers to lineout#2 on the soundcard. This is so I can get 4. surround sound for games.
This configuration has worked for me previously on an SBLi've soundcard with the daughter card where the digital output is.
In gist, I am getting FRONT stereo through digital connection and REAR stereo through analog. I have the speakers set in Quad (4.) mode.
I have read that the DIO module only outputs either PCM STEREO or DD5./DTS bitstream so technically, this should not be a problem as (at this point in time) all I want out of the DIO module is to provide PCM stereo and/or DD5. bitstream to my speakers.
Herein lies the problem. Using the Console Launcher's Speaker config utility, I do a speaker test. The front channels are fine, with sound coming only from the front speakers. But as I get to testing the rear channels, I hear the test sound coming from the front speakers as well. (i.e. When testing REAR LEFT, I hear "REAR LEFT" coming from the rear left speaker as well as the front left speaker. Same thing goes for the REAR RIGHT channel.)
I disconnected the analog rear connection and tested the speakers again. The front channels are fine but the same thing happens to the REAR channels. They are heard from the front speakers. Shouldn't the REAR channels not be heard at all since the analog rear connection has been severed?
This did not happen with the SBLi've (I have the very first model of SBLi've with the daughter card. It is not a Li'veDE5. or anything else).
EDIT: Whoa..it gets worse. Now I find out that the REAR channels are reversed. The "REAR RIGHT" channel is heard on the REAR Left speaker and vice versa. What's going on!?

Hi Catherina,
I do not have a Logitech webcam and have never owned one. The problem with REAR channels being reversed was resolved after uninstallation of the X-Fi and subsequent reinstallation. I use the CD that came with the card and install the normal package plus the Volume Panel. After that, I install the latest drivers from the Creative website. (not the BETA drivers)
Oddly, when I uninstalled it the first time and then reinstalled it using the CD (before installing the latest web release), the REAR channel was mapped correctly to the REAR speakers only even with the digital connection in place. The problem came back after I installed the web release.
However, the problem of the REAR channel being heard from FRONT speakers still persists even after I have uninstalled the X-Fi and reinstalled it from scratch multiple times. (with or without installing the web release)

Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Stuck in headphone (optical digital-out port) mode. What do I do? Plugging and unplugging headphone jack no help.

Do you see a red light in the headphone jack?? If you do, then the microswitch is stuck and you need to turn it off. Try poking it with a toothpick.
If you don't see a red light, then try resetting the SMC and PRAM and see if these helps. Here are the links.

Why are nd filters still used with digital?

I'm kind of new to the world of DSLRs, but it just occurred to me from what I know, that nd filters should really be a thing of the past. I mean nd filters are just there to reduce the amount of light right? This is such a basic thing to do when dealing with digital imaging. Other than holding onto the past, why wouldn't there be a way to set your ISO as low as 1? Or am I just totally missing something? I know some professional digital video cameras like the sony f65 have internal nd filters, but unless that's a software thing, then that also seems a bit silly. Can someone educate me if I'm not understanding.
Cheers,
Cg.

Many "effects" filters are no longer required as the effects can be applied with digital editing software... so while it's true that many filters are "a thing of the past", ND filters are _not_ actually "effects" filters. What they do cannot be simulated by editing an image.
An "good" ND filter wont change the look of the image itself... everything should appear sharp and without any color cast. What it does... is change your shooting CIRCUMSTANCES.
Suppose I'm shooting with an outdoor "fill" flash on a sunny day and my flash can't do "high speed sync" mode... so I'm limited to max flash sync shutters speeds of, say, 1/200th (this varies based on your specific camera model.) The "Sunny 16" rule says that I the normal exposure for full mid-day sun using f/16 is to use the inverse of the ISO as the shutter speed. So at a low base ISO of ISO 100, that'd be 1/100th. But the side-effect of f/16 is a _very_ broad depth of field and suppose I want a deliberately blurred background. I can increase the shutter to 1/200th and this will let me drop my f-stop to f/11... but that's still a LOT of depth of field and no nicely blurred background. If I wanted to bring that down to, say, f/4... I'd have to find a way to dump 3 full stops worth of light. I can't just drop the f-stop to f/4 and increase the shutter by 3 stops to 1/1600th because that's WELL beyond flash-sync speed and my flash (for purposes of this example) can't do high-speed sync.
One really great way to dump 3 stops of light so I can drop my f-stop down without having to speed up my shutter is... a 3 stop ND filter (sometimes called an ND 0.9 -- every "0.1" worth of density blocks 1/3rd of a stop of light.)
Another _VERY_ common use of the ND filter is to get shutters speeds much slower than possible without the filter.
Suppose I want to take a photo of a waterfall and I want a slow shutter so that I can have that gorgeously blurred dreamy looking water. At f/16 my shutter is still at 1/100th... I could go to f/22 and drop the shutter to 1/50th... but that's still pretty fast. If I used 5 stops I could get the shutter down to 1/4 second. A 10 stop ND (ND 3.0) would let me bring that down to 8 seconds...
The final images in these examples would still have the same amount of light and there'd be no tint or color-cast on the images... what you're REALLY doing is changing your shooting "circumstances" which allows you to use different exposure settings than would otherwise be possible without the filter.
Hope that helps!

Tim

If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this. It might help.

X1 and USB Port Replicator with digital video - hangs system

Hi
with the X1 to help with docking it everyday at the office I have a USB Port replicator with digital video. I am not using the digital video but the USB ports, head phone and mics plus ethernet.
When I plug it in it detects it OK, I then installed the software. But after reboot it looks to stall when logging into windows, screen flickers back and forth and locks up the operating system. I unlplug it and reboot and window is working fine.
Note as I mentioned I am not using the digital output but instead using an external monitor via the display port on the back of the laptop.
Also its is very slow to boot (Lenovo bios splash screen is there for about a minute)
I have gone into the bios and turned off all other bootable devices just leaving the laptops hard drive.
As a work around I have removed the software and I am getting the basic functionality of the port replicator, but not the ethernet.
I have run the update manager but does not appear to show a need to update the drivers.

Hi, I have this same exact problem.
Video (anything from youtube to downloaded shows, movies) will freeze for 5-7 seconds at a time. The sound continues to play while the video is 'frozen', and the video resumes after that.
It will happen on its own, with no bumping, but it is more prone to happen if I do something like increase the volume within the media player.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Just delete the same songs from your library in iTunes. Select the first song, hold the shift key, select the last song (which will select everything in between) and press delete.

Loading Invoice XML IDoc with digital signature via XI into R/3

Hi,
I received an Invoice XML IDoc with digital signature via Mail (for test purposes) and want to load it via XI into an R/3 systeme.
My idea is to load the Invoice XML IDoc file via the File Sender Adapter into XI and send it to the R/3 system via the IDoc Inbound adapter.
Due to the digital signature the file looks like this:
0 S      *H÷
   D0 @   1 0       +      0 '      *H÷
      0 0 û      etc.
When I load the file like this with the File Sender Adapter, an error message occurs in the XI Monitoring as the XML Parser cannot read the file due to the digital signatur (as expected).
Has anybody an idea how I can configure the File Sender Adapter Communication Channel to be able to load only the XML IDoc and ignore the digital Signature strings?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Alex

BTW
do use the second way you need:
Security Settings for the Sender Mail Adapter

Monitors with Digital Inputs

What monitors are available that accept the Toslink input directly? Do the keyboard and on-screen volume controls still work with this arrangement?

I believe Tannoy make a set of the Elipse range of speaker with digital inputs as well. I have no idea why you would want to do this though. I suspect the gains in quality would be tiny if anything at all. You'd be better to spend more money on something less techy and get something that really sounds great!

Downloading e-pub with digital watermarking protection

Hi all; I always bought e-books for my Nook and successfully downoaded them. The format was e-pub with DRM protection. Downoadings are addressed to 'bought books' directory in Adobe Digital Editions and then they're readable on 'my documents' in my Nook. The last one I bought, was an e-book e-pub with digital watermarking protection. I don't know if different protection is the cause, but this time the downloading is automatically addressed to 'reading now' in ADE. This time the e-book is not in the list of 'bought books' (in ADE). When I disconnect Nook, the book is in 'my documents' list (of Nook), but when I try to open it, I only see the cover for a couple of seconds, and the page is reverted again to 'my documents'.
How to do? I can open it in ADE on my PC, but not on Nook. I'll appreciate any help!

I moved your posting from the Workspaces forum to the Digital Editions forum.
