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.

Xbox and audigy 2 zs

I have an audigy 2 zs platinum pro. I'm getting a 5. surround system on Monday which uses the analogue outputs. I also want to connect my xbox through the soundcard as this is the only way. I can plug in the optical out on the xbox into the optical in in the sound card. I've tried this and it works fine in stereo, but when I set the xbox to 5. it doesn't recognise a connection. I think this may be an encoding/decoding problem but I'm stumped on how to fix it. Any ideas? Thanks.

kenai36,
I'm a little confused about what you are trying to do. Are you trying to connect to the spdif jack on the Audigy 2 ZS circuit board? Otherwise, the backpanel of the Audigy 2 ZS has a digital-out and a firewire jack. Neither of these handle optical I/O. You could add a Platinum dri've which has an optical spdif connection.

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.

Xbox and 5.1 so

I have creative Inspire 5200 5. speakers and the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. Using the xbox advanced av pack, I have connected an optical spdif from the xbox to the optical in on the front of the external I/O hub. I have tried numerous settings both on the xbox and in the creative controls. The only sound I have been able to have produced is in the initial menu on the xbox, and this is in stereo only. The settings I achieved the sound with is to have dolby and dts turned on with the xbox settings and the creative settings to have spdif set to default and to use the installed decoder. Why is it when a game or movie starts that there is a quick click noise followed by no sound at all? Can anyone tell me what settings to change? Why would I only get sound sometimes, it couldnt be a physical connection problem.
CL_moderator (or anyone knowledgeable) PLEASE help.

Both Apple and Netflix claim to be aware of this issue and say they are 'working on it.' The 6.1.1 AppleTV update appeared to fix the issue but it returned a few days later. There are several other active discussion threads about this here. Nothing to be done but sit back and wait for it to be resolved. If your receiver has Dolby Pro Logic you can use those synthesized DD 5.1 modes until the fix comes.

Gigaworks and audigy 2 zs platinum lip sync is

Can smeone form creative please help me with this issue.
I have loads of external dvd players, a pacific, an xbox, 4 yamadas, accoustic solutions, scanvision, etc etc.
This is what is happenning, i am connecting the pacific dvd players optical out (or coaxial) It makes no difference as they both do it.
Press play to watch dvd, and start watching movie, the longer the movie plays and even in the first 5 minutes of playback the lip sync starts to go out, this is with the use installed decoder checked on soundcard and doly digital decode slected instead of default, spdif byass.
If i stop or pause the dvd and press play the lip sysnc comes back in, then it gradually goes out again.
Now it is not the dvd player. as it does this with the xbox as well, and the yamada, etc etc, this is on a clean installation of win xp pro, the only things that are in are chipset drivers, gfx card driver and the full installation of the audigy 2 zs platinum driver disc.
I connect the optical out or the coaxial ut to the optical in on aud 2 zs plat li've bay, and the same with the coaxial in on aud 2 zs plat li've bay, but only one at a time.
Can someone tell me why this is doing this, i am 98% certain i do not get this from using aux 2 in.
Also it always says unknown or invalid spdif signal in the decoder options.
Also it fails to initialize the dolby digital decoding when inserting the coaxial cable sometimes or rather 8 times out of ten, i have to either restart dvd player, or restart computer to get sound back.
I am not happy with either the s750 speakers whilst playing dvds or the audigy 2 zs card, the speakers are not very loud whilst playing most dvds and teh lip sync is not acceptable, i have used a dtt2200 and sb li've 5. witht the same dvd players and i never had this issue, granted this was on another computer, so i wil be try the s750 with the new computers onboard 7. sound chip to see if i get same issues, then i will be moving the sound card into another pci slot but i should not have to do this, as creative should have already tried this card in all available pci slots in all manufacturers motherboards to test the compatibility, if this issue remains can someone at creative tell me if they will give me a refund for the hardware of gigaworks s750 and audigy 2 zs platinum as www.dabs.co.uk will not give me a refund for these the speakers have only been in use for at most 2 weeks but are 3 weeks old and aud 2 card is about 0 weeks old but have only just been tested on my new computer as of at most 4 days as thats went i got all the other hardware to build up computer and i am most unhappy that dabs tell me they only do a refund or replacement upto 28 days, so creative it looks like the refunding of my money will fall to your company, but then after all it is your hardware, so you maybe can force dabs into giving me a refund , as after all it is your hardware and you will be able to reimburse dabs .

I tried it into all available pci slots on a fresh clean install of windows xp even the exclusi've pci slot was used, and even ehen it was in the other pci slots, it was not sharing an irq with anything anyways, it still does it whilst decodint the Dolby Digital Stream.
Have tried the driver updates for the card and it still does it.
I have the audigy 2 zs platinum witht the li've dri've I/O .
I have taken this card out and put my soundblaster 5. platinum card in, and the li've dri've IR that came with that card, and using the optical in or the coaxial in the same way as the Audigy 2 zs plat li've dri've ,and it decodes the 5. with perfect lip sync, however this is not true dolby digital decdong on the sb 5. card as you have to use the CMSS feature anyways on this card, so even though the ac-3 decode is ticked, it aint true Dolby Digital Decoding anyways.
So i took that card out, and put in my older audigy Platinum 5. card, and teh li've dri've that came with that card, and formatted windows, etc, then after xp went back in installed the audigy drivers etc, then connected the coaxial cable from external dvd player and This also plays the 5. with perfect lip sync, but again however this is not true dolby digital decoding on the audgy card, even tehough the option is selected ac-3 spdif decode in audio hq, You still have to use the CMSS feature to get kind of 5..
I know this to be true as when the 7. Audigy 2 zs plat card is in, when you play dvd from external dvd and use the optical or the coaxial to the fron of the li've dri've that came with audigy 2 zs plat, you get the Dolby Digital Logo appearring on the monitor screen to tell you that it is decoding etc, and teh Quality is very good and you can hear that it is a Dolby Digital 5. stream, APART FROM THE FACT THAT THE AUDIO GOES OUT OF SYNC WITH THE PICTURE.
So I know it has to be down to the actual hardware of the audigy 2 zs plat soundcard or the hardware in the Li've dri've that came with the audigy 2 zs plat soundcard. Its a shame that a lot more people that have bought this pruduct ie the audigy 2 zs platinum version, would not test there li've dri've soundcards dolby digital decoding using an external dvd player, so as we could get a better idea of the problem, AS there are only a couple of other users on this forum that have this harware and they have the same problem, so is it because these cards are faulty, or is it inherint in the hardware that cannot be fixed, cos it aint in the software, but how can we find out when no one seems to be able to tell for sure that a driver update will fix it.
Also Does the Audigy 2 zs platinum Pro suffer from this same lip sync issue whilst using the external dvd players optical out to the optical in to decode dolby digital 5. streams.
Saying as i spent over ?400 on the s750 gigaworks speakers and the Audigy 2 zs platinum soundcard, and that they are only 3-4 months old, and have just been installed into my computer (ie just opened within the last 2 weeks) i am really shocked to learn that nothing can be done and i have wasted a lot of money to get something that cannot do what it is advertised to do, And www.dabs .co.uk are reluctant to refund me my money on the basis that they only do refunds upto 28 days, so in my situation although i purchased the goods 3-4 months ago, i have only just got round to teseting the goods, as i needed the other bits to build computer up , like the case mnotherboard etc etc.
Come on creative, whats the score with this hardware.

Connecting my e2000 to my pc, xbox and ps3

I've recently started studying for the CCNA exam and one of the first things you learn is the type of cabling required between devices.
Basically, I got curious and checked to find that my pc and e2000 router are connected via a straight-through cable even though it's supposed to be that a router and pc share the same pin layout and should be connected via crossover cable. It's the same story with my xbox and ps3 (also wired directly to the router via straight-throughs).
I'm just trying to better understand the relation between devices and cabling to avoid future confusion.
Thanks

Some devices such as routers will have advanced circuitry, which enables them to use both crossover and straight-through cables. In general, however, straight-through cables will not connect a computer and router because they are not “unlike devices. To know more about the dirrence of the two cables visit the links below

I am tyrying to link our xbox and PC int oour wireless network. I am using an apple airport express and it is asking for my WEP Key. Where do I find it?

You should be able to setup WPA / WPA2 access, rather than WEP - which is old an less secure. (Unless your devices are too old for WPA??)

Airport does support the WEP protocol.

WRT320N. Port forwarding help. Xbox and ps3 playing at same time. NAT issues

Hi
I'm trying to have both my xbox and ps3 play with open NAT's for online gaming. I have had success utilizing info from 'portforward.com'. But the solutions will unlock OPEN NAT for either the ps3 or the xbox .. one at a time. Is there a way to get both to be open?
It seems like one main conflict is the success depends on both utilizing port 3074. But I can't have both use it? ( obviously).
I tried port forwarding the xbox per specs off of this forum and that works great.. And DMZ ing the PS3. But like i said before. Most solutions
leave one console with OPEN and one with Moderate.

Connecting Xbox to Audigy 2

Hello,
Is there any way to connect Xbox to Audigy NX 2? I don't really mind if it cannot give 6. quality. I only want to connect it to the soundcard instead of connect it straight away to the speakers.
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX
Logitech X620 6.

Yep. Its possible.But you will have to buy a seperate RCA-to-Minijack converter. Then plug it into the 'Line In' jack.

XBOX and setting NAT to OPEN with a Linkseys E1000

And before someone posts it, I have used this guide as well as dozens of others.

I really don't know what to do. No matter what I do, I just can't get it to go from Moderate to Open. I'm honestly thinking about returning the router and going with a new brand. I have followed multiple guides and nothing works.

Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter. Leave User name blank & in Password use admin in lower case.
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings.
Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings.
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" sub tab.
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done.
2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings.
3)Click on the Status tab and take note of DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses.
4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1.
5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox.
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox. Wait for a minute.
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it. it will connect.
Who is your Internet service provider?
Open the setup page of the router and go to the Status tab. Note down the Internet IP address on the status page.
Click here and check the Internet IP address. Make sure that both the IP addresses are same.

What is difference between Audigy 2 LS and Audigy 2

As topic say what is difference between Audigy 2 LS and Audigy 2 ZS?
I sow Audigy 2 LS in my local store but cant find info on creative.com about it.

Z_unit,
The Audigy 2 ZS is our current top of the line audio card. It supports DTS decoding and is capable of 7. output. I am not aware of an Audigy 2 LS, however we have an Audigy LS which is a 5. capable sound card that is based on our original Audigy's features. Was the card that you were looking at in a retail box or was it in a brown box?
