Xtremegamer no output from optical out in Vista 64.

Hello,
I spent over 2 weeks going over those forums and goggling around the problem I have. ?
Ever since I upgraded from Vista x86 to Vista x64 I cannot get the sound out through my digital out (flexijack) connection. I am connecting to Onkyo SR800 ( I don't think Onkyo is causing the problem since it worked before)
Here is what I tried:
. I verified the optical cable and mini-toslink adapter work.
2 I tried latest drivers from Creative site.
3. I tried older drivers ( SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_5_0004,? SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_5_0002 ?SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_5_0006)
4. I tried changing spdif out to default audio device in vista.
5. I tried changing sampling rate from 48 to 96 Hz in audio console.
6. I readjusted all volume controls in both vista and creative to the maximum.
7 I tried sending test sounds to spdif out.
8. Tried Daniel_K's support packs.
9. Some of the older drivers used to have other tab with Digital I/O checkbox, but that did not help also.
To add some background information:
My onboard audio is disabled and I have no problems outputting sound to my 2 speakers connected to line on the XFI Xtremegamer. In vista x86? I was able to output simultaneously to both my 2 crappy speakers and to my Onkyo receiver (7.). I saw that some people were able to get stereo output through optical out, but I can get a **bleep** squeak out of my onkyo from XFI.
I don't usually post on the boards, because I am able to come across a solution, but this is the first time in my life that I could find a solution. If it wasn't for the price I paid for XFI, I would probably ditched it already and went with onboard Realtek. The problem is that I know XFI sounds better, besides I already spent the money so it's not very useful outside of my computer.

Jmacguire,? thanks for your advice.
It's a very interesting post, I think it should even become a sticky here as it very nicely describes how Vista passes audio to applications.
Unfortunately, that doesn't fix my problem. I tried setting my speakers to 5., and 7.. I also tried setting spdif as a default audio device, but then I get no sound? at all. ?
I went as far as configuring ffdshow filter to enable spdif pass trough. Since I don't even hear a test sound from windows in my receiver, I think that there is some option somewhere that pretty much disables any output to my flexijack.
Also a funny observation,? when I downloaded an iso image of creative officuial drivers ( from April last year I believe)? I had extra options for digital input/output in speakers tab in control panel and in creative audio console.
It seems weird that creative removed those options from newer drivers.
However, checking the checkbox by enable digital I/O did nothing for my problem.
I begin to wonder what would be the most cost effecti've solution to connect my pc to my receiver. I want to use both my computer speakers and my Onkyo receiver, and by using audio jack splitters I will loose stereo signal (if I am correct) and that's a path I do not want to take, but if flexijack will not work in vista 64, I do not have a choice.

No digital out signal from Optical Out

I have a Pavilion p6250f PC with a ATI Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics card. I have it connected to my Onyo receiver through the DVI-D port to the HDMI port on my Onyo receiver. I get a message saying I need to cable the sound separately, so I am using a optical cable from the PC to the receiver, but am unable to get any sound.
I have used the Realtek menu to select Digital Out. Any ideas?

Hi,
Where are you connecting your optical cable to on the PC as you have stated?
Try SPDIF output from the PC using a coaxial cable to a digital input on the receiver. Or, use an analog cable from the back of the PC to the receiver. Then go back into the Control Panel ---Sound---> Playback Tab and set the default sound out device.

No audio from Optical out!

I'm using an ATV2 with HDMI going to my TV and an Optical cable going to my Pioneer receiver. I am not able to get any audio signal through the Optical out of the ATV. Dolby digital is set to "on" in the ATV and my receiver is set to accept a digital signal. I have seen some other message boards discussing this as being a common problem that may be an apple related issue. I'm just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience and figured out a way to work around it.
Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't say similar issues are reported commonly, but there are enough of them on a reasonably regular basis, to be considered more than a handful. The majority of such reports appear to be resolved by making settings adjustments, on either the Apple TV or the receiver.
I'm unlikely to be familiar with your receiver, but you might want to try with 'Dolby Digital' set to off.

No output from line out 1 and 3, audig

A while ago, I observed no sound coming from several speakers in our 5. sound system. 2 of the speakers provide sound. Also running windows xp and audigy 4.
I followed the trouble shooting guide using headphones and have no sound card ouput from lines and 3. Line 2 provides output.
We are using a 5. speaker system and individually plugged each of the 3 lines from the speaker system into line 2 out from the sound card and all the speakers sound good.
uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers 5.2.6.6?
The troubleshooting guide mentions a "digital only output" toggle under the volume advanced tab. I searched the sound and audio device properties utility from top to bottom but can't find the toggle.
I am not sure what to do regarding further troubleshooting. Please advise.
Regards,
Jer?

Never mind: focus was on the wrong computer on the KVM.

Can i generate PWM output from digital out of my PCI 7041 RT DAQ card?

I want to generate 4 PWMs using my PCI7041 card. I do have only 2 analog outputs and 2 counters to output my signal that's why I want to use digital out of my card for PWM. How can I do that? If there is any example then please let me guide that way.

Hello rajen,
There is a good link to PWM in LabVIEW using counters here.
As for using analog output, you will need to be able to continuously update your output waveform. I've attached a program that demonstrates this. Hope this info is helpful.

Sound blaster Z with no sound from Optical S/PDIF output

Hi,
I'm trying to record music from a Denon DTR-2000 Digital Audio Tape deck. I have connected a optical S/PDIF cable from Optical Out on the DAT player to the Optical In on the sound card but I'm not hearing any sound.
I've also tried with a CD/DVD player using optical out and still no sound.
My only concern is that whilst there is a definite click when the TOSLINK cable is plugged into the CD/DVD player it doesn't seen particularly well connected in the sound card.
If I start Smart Recorder with Source as Digital-In (SoundBlaster Z) and press Analyse there is no movement in the sound level bars. Presumably there should be.
Hope you can offer some help please.

Just to clear this up. The original cable was fine but the quality of the connectors left a lot to be desired. The plugs needed to be pushed in quite forcibly.

Toshiba 32 XV505 optical out and sound bar

Hi guys, wonder if you can help.
I have a toshiba XV505 TV and I've just bought a Cambridge Audio TV minx sound bar, it works fine with a headphone cable from the TV but for best quality sound I wanted to use an optical out cable. But when plugging in the optical cable I get nothing, I've tried the optical cable with the DVD player and it works fine so the cable is good. Is this some type of restriction with the TV that it can't output the sound?
I can't find a setting in the menu where I'd need to enable it. Can anybody help?

The optical out option is not displayed.
nothing to do with Midi Setup, the issue is Hardware level, when hdmi is plugged there is no way to get out signal from optical out. (no red light). Even with hdmi to dvi converter.
I just bought a none official MDP to DVI adapter, hoping it works.... just paid about 8$. But I think it's a shame to make users find own solutions and spend even more money, after spendig 1000€ in a Mac mini.......
That's not the way to do things, they made a big mistake with that, no way to get optical sound, im going to try this last trick, but even if it works im totally disappointed with apple. After more than two months Late 2012 mini come out, and no solution for this.... just an update we need!!

No sound from optical on NEW SkyHD+ box

Hi all, I've read a few posts already about this issue and I like many others cannot get surround sound from the Sky box via OPTICAL cable to my Pioneer surround sound amp system. The SkyHD+ box is brand new so was forced to buy an optical cable to link to my Pioneer AXD 7305 system. The Pioneer plays the 5.1 sound via blu ray no problem using Coaxal but as try as I may I cannot get the Sky box to deliver surround sound using optical. My set up is: Panasonic TXP42G20B TV linked to SkyHD box via HDMI cableSky box Sound Settings set to "Dolby D" for both Digital Audio AND Digital HDMISky Box connected to Pioneer AXD 7305 via NEW optical cable from OPTICAL OUT on Sky boxPioneer AXD 7305 set to "Video 1 OPTICAL input" I rang Sky Support & they just suggested the sound settings set to "Dolby D" which I have done. Please help if you can.

You may have tried it but have you set the sound settings to NORMAL. Mine is connected by optical to a soundbar and works with both settings.

Will ATV 3 output from HDMI and Optical at the same time?

I'd like to use my apple TV to feed music to my main AV receiver while at the same time sending that same audio signal out the optical out connection to my other AV receiver that provides music to all of the rooms in my home. Right now it feeds the music to my main AVR via HDMI just fine but nothing to my other AVR.
Is this possible?

We've used an airport express since 'the beginning' - for years to get our Wifi from our cable modem in our garage while simultaneoulsy using it to output audio to a VERY old tuner in the garage. I have some nice outdoor Bose speakers connected to this setup which allows any mobile device wifi equiped to output any audio through my setup.... i.e. we usally use iTunes off our laptop while we are chilling outside. Perfect marriage of new school and old school technology.

Clips from Project bin to source monitor causing video output to go out of sync(CS6 and CC)

Any footage I double-click or drag from the Project window to the Source monitor causes my video output to go out of sync. When I put the clips in the timeline, video goes back in sync and I'm able to view video output. My monitors are connected to a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt(9.7.5) via component and HDMI. Is this normal behavior in Premiere or is there a setting to enable this? No issues doing this in FCP7(clips from Project window to Canvas).
Can someone with an I/O from AJA, Matrox, or Blackmagic please test this out for me. Thanks...

Hi Joe,
How do you have your audio setup? Try the following.
- Set your OS system sound to Built-in or Line out audio
- Select Blackmagic for both Video and Audio in Preferences> Playback
- Select System Default Input/Output from Preferences> Audio Hardware
Hope this helps,

Noise on optical output from Airport Express

I have an almost new Airport Express (actually as an extension of my old AE) which I use for streaming music to my HiFi. At first I used the analogue output for my amplifier, without any problem. But now I have installed a HiFi D/A converter (Rega) and started using the optical output from my AE. It plays fine, but now and then (like 2-3 times per track) there is a noise appearing, like a pulse of 3-6 beats. Could be external noise, but it is only there when I play music. Anyone have any idea ??

Hi, nice to know I am not the only one with this problem (did not log on for a while...)
The problem is also that one doesn't really know which part to blame. I guess anywhere you go with your problem they would say it is something else. And the guys in the Apple store don't have knowledge at this level, they are just trained to sell.
I am sorry to hear that you had to give up and return to the analogue input. Which means that you are using the D/A converter built into the Airport.
Are you saying that you were using the digital output from your old Airport into your Rega DAC without any problem ? If you feel sure about that it must be the new type of Airport that has a problem.

My MacBook Pro has no audio. Sounds preferences showing output is Optical digital-out port. How do I change this to built-in speakers?

My MacBook Pro has no audio. Sounds preferences showing output is Optical digital-out port. How do I change this to built-in speakers?

I experienced this same problem yesterday on my MacBook Pro, still searching for a solution, several other posts here indicate people have been experiencing this since at lease 2007. I have yet to find a clear solution.
It appears that occasionally inserting headphone causes this, it turns on the Optical digital-out port feature (red light glows inside the headphone port) and takes away the internal speakers option. Restarting did not restore it, but for some reason after sitting asleep overnight the sound started working again and the internal speaker option return in the Sound - Output Window, and the Optical Digital-out option went away.
Here is another post with some ideas on this

Combined optical digital audio output/analog line out

Combined optical digital audio output/analog line out minijack on the new Mac Pro support 5.1?

Are you asking if it has that?
http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/
says:
Combined optical digital audio output/analog line out minijack
Which means it does.
On all but the earlier Mac Pro models, this has been standard since the iMac G5.
Mac Pros earlier used SPDIF.
These are now mini-Toslink.

Can MainStage split the audio outputs from a plug-in to separate busses/out

Take EXS24 or Battery 3 or Kontakt as examples
Only one plug-in instantiated but each drum 'hit' sent to separate outputs from within the plug-in/VI and brought into the mix on Audio/Aux channels for separate processing.
It's easy to set up in ProTools and Logic.
(I don't want to send the output of the channel strip to a bus - I know how to do that)
I've read the manual so many times and can't find any answers.
Does MainStage actually allow this routing ?
Thanks for any help
Lee

As far as I know, the only way to do what you want in MainStage is to set up an EXS24 for each output.
The EXS24 does have an option to load with multiple outputs, but I haven't found a way to make it work on my set up.

Optical output from 1080p Apple TV same audio resolution as hdmi?

Will the new 1080p Apple TV get the same ouput and throughput bitrate from optical connection as the hdmi connection?
Assuming it's 96 Mbps, since that's what a MacBook can do..
Trying to decide whether to connect to receiver using HDMI or optical.

I have gone through FOUR of the new "black box" Apple TVs (and a couple of brand-new HDMI cables). They all have this problem: Lift the unit and the picture goes black. There is clearly a manufacturing defect in the HDMI port for ALL Apple TV units.
Furthermore, it has become apparent that when inadvertently disconnecting HDMI when powered on (or deliberately) it eventually causes the HDMI port to fail completely.
Wonderful!
