As such if you want to use eax or cmss3d you need to use your recievers multi-channel input to get the benefits. Think of the x-fi as its own kinda of audio processor. The first its to output dolby digital or DTS to the receiver just like ur dvd player would or cable box to ur reciever's optical or coax in. The second is to output 2 channel PCM- kinda like those wav files data to the receiver. In both of these cases the x-fi is just transmitting dats to the receiver, its not doing any processing The solution for you may vary depending on what receiver you have.
One solution is to get something like the sound blaster home theater cable or get 3 male stereo to female rca cables, a good one is the sonicwave 3. A more practical solution would be to get 3 3. Go to www. If you cant do that then your out of luck as you cant use the x-fi to output to your system.
However, Creative does sell something called the dts which can output DTS surround sound to your receiver from the sound card itself. You might lose out on some of the detailed sound, but it would work on your receiver and it would be just as good as playing a DVD MOVIE in surround sound. Again, though the spdif out won't help you it just transmits data from a program such as movie or maybe a few games that use dolby digital but almost all comp games use EAX as noted on the logo.
Message me with more questions and answers, glad to fill in the buzz. Last edited: Dec 23, Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I'm not sure I understood everything you said, but I should have clarified That's what I want to use to hook up the speakers Is that not possible? I originally did have another sound card and had the setup you described 3. There are several common connectors you can find at the ends of optical cables.
Note that the connectors are coaxial RCA connectors. Whereas the connector marked Optical is a Toslink connector, and that tells us nothing about what data formats this port can accept. Ye, I'm ordering a used one. I add 2 pictures, one of each of them. I have no idea if the Lexicon could be connected digitally to the Audien iD22, as the connectors look different.
Is there the need for an adapter. The Behringer has the same optical connector like the V-Verb, so this looks fine. Lars Since the optical cable indeed just carries light, you can't just have an optical plug at one end, and a coaxial RCA plug on the other - so yes, you'll need some kind of an adapter box for this. Than you! I never worked with optical connections, so I have no idea. The Behringer V-Verb since more save to me, as it has exactly the same connector and seems to sound also better from what I red here in GS..

Suggesting that for digital to work optimally, rock solid sync has to be maintained. That's not always the case :. But why would this be used? In what context? I find it a bit odd for this to be in the curriculum for this course as it seems like an advanced understanding. Is there any way to boil this down a bit?
Maybe give some scenarios where it would be found? Why would a student need to know this etc? Thankyou for the answers so far though. Steenamaroo said:. That's a great point! What course? We not mind readers :. Music Technology level 3- its a college course aimed at year olds. A few years ago, ADAT and spdif were the main ways to connect digital gear.
Now with everything in the computer, there are no physical connections to mess with. But, a lot of interfaces use both ADAT and spdif for extra inputs. To use them, you need a set of mic preamps that have ADAT or spdif outputs, to connect into your interface. Although those protocols usually aren't used for pro audio, it illustrates the difference between signal protocol and physical interface. The setup menu allows me to disable the analog out circuit to reduce noise in the the digital out circuit.
There is somewhat of a Hi-Fi revival with computer and digital music. That also exists without the computer and USB. So, a plam-sized box can be a headphone amplifier with USB, Optical In, spdif in and out and can play the highest rate digital files. Inputs on consumer digital ;. Now, in the "studio" people tend to use whatever RCA to RAC cable comes under their hand for digital and for short, sub 3mtrs say, runs this usually matters mot a jot.
