XtremeMusic digital o

Hi folks,
I recently bought the Onkyo 576 and would like to connect my X-fi with it. But the only way i was able to do this was via Klinke to Cinch (don't know the english word, I'm german )
I want to have a digital Signal, but atm it's analogue. So is the FlexiJack access able to output a digital Signal that I can use for my AVR? The AVR has different accesses, I'd use the coaxial one. I tried to connect these both accesses with my normal Klinke-Cinch cable and turned "activate e/a" on in the Creative menu but it didn't work. So I ordered this cable:
klick
Is it possible to initiate a digital connection between my AVR and the X-fi XtremeMusic with that cable? Is it generally possible?
Sry for my english, haven't been talking english for a while
Hope you understand my problem and might help
edit: I'm just listening to music, so I don't need a 5. signal. Just Stereo.

  • Xtrememusic: Digital out or Analog out, Advantages Disadvanta

    I have a Xtrememusic card, that has a wonderful sound using the analog outputs to 3 Sonic Impact T-Am
    ps.
    Now, I'm curious about using the digital out to a Panasonic SA-XR55 digital amp/receiver. I know I would lose the CMSS, but the Panasonic can do it's own synthesis of surround. I'm interested in knowing from users about the pros and cons of using the digital out or analog outs. I know the quality of the Xtrememusic DACs are good, and I read that the Panasonic?has a excellent sound output as well. If I choose to use the digital out, I could just use?the motherboard onboard digital out, although only in DVD modes does it do a true bitperfect pass through. In stereo mode, it's still using some of Windows to mix the sound. I could also use the digital out of the card. Seems like a shame to bypass all of that nice analog the card is capable of?
    Oh yeah, anyone know if a old Creative Li've 5. I/O panel will work with a Xtrememusic card??Thanks

    wiersch,
    I believe you might have Skype set to auto-configure your soundcard. Try this, open Skype and go to it's audio setting menu. Disable the option 'Let Skype adjust my sound device setting.'

  • XtremeMusic digital out: stereo? 2.1? passthrou

    Hi all,
    Every X-Fi Card has FlexiJack with a 3-in- function (Digital IO/ Line In / Microphone). This jack can be used to connect to the receiver's Coaxial In (via minijack to rca adapter).
    So here is the question:
    can the XtremeMusic Card be connected to the reciever only via digital coax and
    - pass stereo fram mp3s/CDs/etc
    - pass-through the compressed AC3/DTS signal from movies
    - decode the AC3/DTS to stereo and pass it digitally to the receiver
    Many thanks
    drjack

    You could use a 3-Ft. Gold Series Stereo Y-Cable, Phono Plugs to /8" Jack.
    The /8" Jack plugs into the FlexiJack/digital output of X-Fi SB XtremeMusic.
    Red RCA : Digital Out
    White RCA : Digital In
    Or, too make it easy. Because you have a X-Fi?XtremeMusic soundcard, you can get the Sound Blaster Digital I/O Module. /8" Jack with Input: Optical and Coaxial and Output: Optical and Coaxial.

  • X-Fi XtremeMusic + Creative Headphones HQ-2300D. Digital Outpu

    Have just gotten the 5. HQ-2300D headphone, and am unable to get them working in Dolby Digital or DTS mode with my SB X-Fi XtremeMusic. What is the correct way to connect these headphones to my SB so i can get digital sound form the headphones? Am i right in thinking the only way to get Digital sound is by also purchasing the Sound Blaster Digital I/O Module? Surly i should just be able to connect the 3.5m to 3.5m jack supplied with the headphones to the Digital 3.5m socket on the rear of the X-fi to the palm-sized decoder and that should work? Well i tired that and i couldnt get any sound. Can someone help please in telling me how to get digital sound and the correct way to connect these head phones up

    Surly i should just be able to connect the 3.5m to 3.5m jack supplied with the headphones to the Digital 3.5m socket on the rear of the X-fi to the palm-sized decoder and that should work?
    Yes, that should be the correct connection. Assuming you're in Entertainment mode now. Go to the Digital I/O menu (farthest right) and make sure the Flexijack mode is set to Digital I/O. Also change the Digital output sampling rate to 48khz.

  • X-Fi XtremeMusic and Digital Out

    Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but here goes...
    I have a WinXP machine with an X-Fi XtremeMusic card that I would like to hook up to my Onkyo TX-SR600 receiver. The ideal situation would be to run a single digital line into the coax digitial input of my receiver. I would like all sounds to pass through the receiver and let the receiver do the decoding if possible.
    Do I need to hook up analog cables for the 6 channels in addition to the digital line?
    Thanks for any help,
    - James T

    No, just run the digital coax to the rec. If you don't have one, you will need a digital coax and a /8 mono to RCA adapter. Radio Shack has these items.
    If you play games and want surround sound, you will have to go to analog out. I acutally have both analog out and digital out. They work well.

  • X-Fi XtremeMusic + Win7 64bit + Dolby Digital Live?

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and X-Fi XtremeMusic. I was wondering if it is possible to enable Dolby Digital Li've on my setup? I have the digital I/O module and use an optical cable to connect the PC to my receiver.
    I found this but I don't know if it works on Windows 7...
    Dolby Digital Li've and DTS Connect Pack

    I know that much.
    I purchased the encoder pack so that I could have multichannel audio in games. It works fine. However, where can I download the latest version of the encoder pack. At the end of the purchase I was able to download version 2.00.00, but I think there should be newer version as I've stumbled on people using version 2.00.08 (I think) on different forums.
    Also, you could have a LARGE note somewhere that the encoder pack is REQUIRED for multichannel audio in games if using the digital (coax/optical) output to an external receiver. Only thing that is listed is that multichannel PASSTHROUGH audio is supported on the digital output, but that doesn't apply to games. I would have purchased the encoder pack long ago if I had known that it is required. I've been wondering for the past year why I don't have proper multichannel in games, but have been unable to figure out why. I happened to stumble on the solution by mistake during last weekend while researching another problem.

  • X-Fi XtremeMusic and Digital I/O card from SB Live! (CT46

    Hi!
    Can I safely plug in the Digital I/O card (from old SB Li've!) to my new SB X-Fi XtremeMusic? Is there any compatibility problem and some On-Card connectors may not work?
    For reference here is a real foto of this I/O card:

    Yes.
    The header (AD_EXT) on the X-Fi card is not the same pin specification as the SBLi've card.

  • 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!?
    SmithyJMessage Edited by smithyj on 07-3-2006 :6 PM

    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)

  • X-Fi XtremeMusic = Headphones&Mic + Speake

    Hi out there!
    I need your help!
    Plz!
    I've got a Audigy X-Fi XtremeMusic installed and all works excellent! (I love the 24bit crystalizer ^_^d)
    But I'd like to listen to some music on my stereo and on the other hand I'd like to use some communication-software (teamspeak, skype.. etc), which should be directed through the headphones.
    At moment I try to get along by having installed the onboard-soundblaster (ac97 @soundmax version 5.2..3630, mobo: asus p4c-800e-deluxe) and using the "SoundMax Digital Audio"-Device for Teamspeak. The headphone and the microphone is plugged in the motherboard's sockets... and generally it works. BUT.. if I change the master-volume-control on the SoundMax-Control-Panel this change will also affect the master-volume of the creative-audigy-panel!?!?!
    Is it possible to change the volume independently? And if so, how? Or are there any other solutions?
    I've just discovered a button near the volume-control of the entertainment-mode.. apparently the headphone-volume can be changed autonomously.. so, maybe it's possible to do it with just the Audigy X-Fi Soundcard and the right adjustments?
    I'm very confused and I'm very bad in understanding technics... and my english is bad too, sorry!
    But, if you understand my problem and have any solution... please help me...!
    Greetz, Titi ^_^

    I am having similar problems. I can use my mic fine but the static/overall quality of recording with my mic is HORRIBLE. I have tried 2 headsets and a regular microphone that I bought awhile back. I have an X-Fi ExtremeMusic that I just recently bought, and I installed the drivers off the cd, then updated the drivers on the soundblaster website. If I switch to Game mode, my record device is set on mic, but the static is unbearable.

  • X-FI XtremeMusic + z5500

    X-FI XtremeMusic + z5500@ Hi there,
    I'm just curious if theres a lot of human beings who are using this system and if so, how your configurated it for the best possible thrill? Myself uses this setup and I'm pleased. Im on Windows 7 32x with 2gb of RAM.
    Do you use digital cables? the coax or just the analog? What settings are you using in windows 7. or 5.? What about the settings in the THX console?
    I have tried, digital cables, coax.. I think in my own oppinion that the best settings right now is analog cables, 6ch direct for films and music. I use the Crystalizer 50% and set the CMSS-3D to OFF. Maybe this is because I use VLC when I watch most of the movies and such. What are you using for streaming and watching movies? What player do you guys use?
    Maybe if I come up with some more settings I'll post them. :-D

    On the control pod for the speakers, just press the input button until it reads "Direct" on the display. then the same goes for the effect button, press it until the effect is "Direct" from there you can run the Creative diagnostics and do the speaker test so you can make sure you have them pluged in correctly. then mess with the effects however you like

  • X-Fi XtremeMusic and

    Hey all. I have seen some '4. and X-Fi anger/distress' on this forum, but my question is slightly different to that problem. Currently I have Realtek AC97 onboard sound. I have a 4. setup. To run it though, I have to select 5. in Realtek properties or the sub doesn't work (This will do for me, I dont care that it's 5. and I don't have a centre speaker, as long as 4 speakers and sub work I'm happy). The Realtek also switches 'Mic In Port' to 'Subwoofer / Centre' and switches 'Line In' to 'Rear Speakers Out'. The 'Line Out' is set to 'Front Speakers Out'. The thing is I have 2 multimedia/pc type speakers as front, two big HI-FI speakers as rears and then a multimedia/pc sub. The speakers are not connected to each other at all. Each are separate unlike most setups where 4 sats go into a sub or something. I was wanting to know do you think this could work with an X-Fi XtremeMusic with my front 2 PC speakers going into lineout , 2 rear HI-FI speakers into lineout 2 and the sub into lineout 3 or wouldn't this work at all with the X-Fi like it does with my Realtek onboard.
    Cheers for help and suggestions.

    Re: X-Fi XtremeMusic and SPDIF bypass with Windows 7l Hello hwoarang5,
    why do you think that this is disabled in Windows 7 and Vista?
    It worked fine in Windows Vista, too.
    Anyway, I've searched yesterday evening?a little bit more and solved the problem myself. To enable SPDIF bypass you have to do the following:
    . enable Digital Input in the Windows 7 sound settings (it'sis disabled by default and I forgot about it).
    2. change the FlexiJack mode in the audio settings of Creative to "Digital E/A".
    3. now enable the "Recordation with bit adjustment" (don't know how this is called exactly in the English version).
    When there is a PCM (DTS and Dolby is not supported) signal now at the Digital Input you should here something now.
    Hope this helps somebody.
    Best regards

  • X-Fi Xtrememusic and all X-Fi products

    I have been corresponding with CL techs via email and telephone re: the connection of my xbox360 to my X-Fi XtremeMusic soundcard via optical cable to produce 5. DD from my analogue speakers (Creative T7700). After doing ALOT of research, many ppl (CL lab techs, other sound card companies, forum members) have stated that this is NOT possible as the decoder of DD lies within the software and NOT the hardware of the X-fi soundcard. Thus, the X-Fi XtremeMusic CAN NOT DECODE 5. DD from an xbox360 and you would need an external decoder like DDTS-00. HOWEVER, I came across several CL techs by email and this is what they told me:
    Email :
    I understand from your email that you like to know if there is specific driver for X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card. I am sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you. Please let me assist you. For your information there is a built-in decoder on the X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card. Therefore the signal from a game console such as an Xbox can be decoded & output to analog speakers. There is no need for an I/O Dri've. You may use a digital Toslink cable to 3.5 mm plug.
    Email 2:
    With regard to your email, please be informed that the X-FI Extreme Music sound card is able to decode the 5. DD signal via optical connection to analog speakers. Instead of purchasing the I/O Console, you can get a Tosslink to Minijack adaptor for the connection from the Xbox to Xfi Extreme Music sound card. Please be informed that the decoding will only work on Win XP and not on a Windows Vista PC. In case if you need any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
    Email 3:
    Prior to getting to the email form on our website, you were asked to try some basic troubleshooting for the issue that you identified. The steps that you were walked through resolve some issues with your product. Some of the information that I provide in this message may be repetiti've but it is still valuable information for troubleshooting your device. Yes it can since the X-Fi XtremeMusic has a built-in decoder.
    Email 4:
    With regard to your email, i believe that you are enquiring on a sound card which is suitable for Xbox connection so that it can output 5. sound via the analog speakers connected to the sound card. To do that, you would need to purchase a XFi Extreme Music sound card and an Xfi I/O Console.
    So this concludes my message. I do not know who is right. I deliberately wrote the names of the authors of the emails above so that other Creative techs can clarify with them. The emails have stated that I can connect use the digital connection from my 360 to the flexijack of the x-fi XtremeMusic and get 5. DD sound but others have stated that I cant since the decoder is in the software. Can someone from CL tech explain to me this discrepancy? Thanks, I appreciate it alot.

    ...the sound card itself can not decode the signal so its useless.
    I wouldn't say that. The card doesn't need to. It's nicer if it appears to do so than if application programs have to be relied on.
    Yes, I have heard that previous?sound cards (not just Creative) had built in decoders to the hardware. This was for 2 reasons. ) Privacy and copyright reasons from Dolby Digital themselves. 2) Codecs change very quickly which means that the hardware will be obsolete once a new codec is released. Thus, it is more efficient to embedd the codecs in software itself. This is based on one of the correspondences with a CL tech staff member.
    There may have been soundcards that included hardware decoding, but I've only heard of one, which was an early USB-interfaced one by CL which was almost stand-alone in character. I have a vague memory of some card with a DSP chip being programmed for it, but I also have this sense this was vaporware or a baseless claim.
    Almost all soundcards punt and say they support decoding but really just include a copy of PowerDVD or similar that actually does it (which CL has started doing recently, unfortunately), but CL has pretty much been unique in including a driver-based decoder which makes the card look like it does do decoding. As far as I can tell, the Xtrememusic is one of those. ? In most cases these support digital-in decoding from an external digital input, but you usually needed the I/O dri've to have the digital input it supported that for. As I said, the formal manual shows explictly how to make an optical connection from a DVD player to the I/O Dri've or I/O console expressly so the card's decoding can be used to hear DD/DTS on the computer's analog speakers.
    As far as your comment about hardware becoming obsolete, why haven't I heard about this being a problem for DD/DTS receivers. That's hardware,
    isn't it's
    Yes, you will need to specify the source if multiple sources are connected to the sound card.
    Only if more than one is supported and it is not the default. It is entirely possible that if there is more than one external digital input, only one of them is actually supported as a decoding input.
    Well, I think its kinda dumb to put a flexijack that is nonfunctional for digital I/O unless you buy the I/O console or dri've separately. Many consumers, including me, thought that external devices can be directly connected to the flexijack since it is Digital I/O. IMO, this is a bit misleading.
    There is only so much real estate on the card's slot cover, and you can't help that some people are apt to jump to unwarranted conclusions. In fact, you can connect external devices to the flexijack directly, in the output direction such as connecting the card to a receiver's coaxial digital input, but you need the Digital I/O Module to do that optically, or to do either form of digital input. You can do so without the I/O console or dri've in addition. The question is not that the flexijack cannot be used for digital input, it's whether the card's decoding feature supports decoding from it, or only from the digital inputs on the dri've/console. It might, but to say it does or doesn't would be an unwarranted conclusion, since I don't have confirmation either way. I also don't know the effect of Vista, if you're using it, but I know that once again drivers had to be rewritten for it, and when that happens, esoteric features may get broken or not work for awhile. (Microsoft seems to be quite incapable of architecting a stable driver environment.)? Plus, drivers rewritten for Vista might force CL to renegotiate the Dolby licensing, which even might be the reason CL has stopped supplying driver-based decoding in some cases.
    To me, it doesnt really matter how many external digital inputs are connected or whether you can switch between digital inputs?from multiple input sources. The fact remains that the Xtrememusic currently can not decode 5. DD li've regardless if you have an adaptor (optical>3/5mm), I/O module, I/O console. In other words,?you can find many ways to connect external devices to the sound card, but the sound card cant INTERPRET and DECODE those digital inputs.
    It can.
