What's the difference between Digital Speakers/Headphones (+ External Decoder) and Analoge Speakers/Headphones
110277
Analog speakers can be installed on any output component (audio card, stereo, DVD player...) and are cheaper, while digital speakers are often more expensive and require that you have a SPDIF connection from your output component (audio card, stereo, DVD player...) See Logitech Digital speaker specs in DigitalHome source link below.\nAlmost all output components have analog audio output. On most PC 's this output is green and labeled speaker out. Most digital outputs are optional and are usually a yellow coaxial.

Yes, for music they're just fine.\n\nFirstly, the Creative X-Fi soundcard won't give you much benefit when listening to music.  If you already have it, that's ok but if you don't and you're thinking of buying it - you'll waste your money.\n\nFor listening to music you only need a good set of 2.1 speakers (stereo speakers with a sub woofer) which the Logitech Z2300 appear to be.  They will provide fairly rich sound for listening to music, but of course won't make use of the EAX or surround features of the X-Fi card for games, which you're not interested in.\n\nSo my second point is that as you say you want to improve audio for music, the sound card won't help - the speakers will make all the difference.\n\nIn that respect, they're a good choice for music.\n\nAll the best, I hope that helps.

Just go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment, Volume Control. In the Volume Control, the first one on the left is your actual volume control, dont confuse it with the others.

The speakers really don't matter as much as a reciever/amplifier combo would.  You need to make sure the reciever/amplifier can process Quadrophonic sounds, then they have 4 speaker outs and then you plug 4 speakers in. I don't think they have even made quadrophonic processors since the 70's.  If you are talking about Surround Sound, they make those today and they process quadrophonic sounds to send sound to 4 (or 5 or 6 or 7, depending on the equipment you use) speakers.  If you want Quadrophonic sound, I would just go to your local stereo shop and buy a Surround Sound system and have the music play out of 4 speakers.  Thats what I use for my system.

Hi There\n\nI have listed two sources for converting these files, both are free. The 3rd source do a simple search and you will get lots of programs but you would have to purchase them. To explain each .dat .cda and AAC format would bore you, they are just ways to compress music. The important thing is the links below to the software allow you to switch, change, store, convert and play each of them.

I'm a certified audio engineer and audio enthusiast, and would love to help!\n\nThere could be a multitude of problems here, and the fact that you are describing a speaker set-up for PC makes things a little more complicated.\n\nFirst question:  What makes you think your rear speakers aren't working?\n\nIf your answer is "There is no sound", this is doesn't neccessarily mean your speakers aren't working.  Sound is not supposed to eminate from the rear speakers 100% of the time.  They add ambience and directional cues.  Also, sound will not come from the speakers if the audio for the software you use isn't encoded for 5.1 (or greater) audio.  \n\nThe same is true for Home Theatre set-ups; not all movies are encoded to tell the surround processor to send audio signal to the rear speakers\n\nThat said,\n\nThe first thing to check:  Make certain all of your speakers are connected propery.  Depending upon what sort of system you purchased, some speakers can be directly connected to your soundcard, some need to "daisy chain" in order to work.  That is, one speaker must connect to the another, and that connects to another, etc.\n\nNext, check all your volume controls.  How many do you have?  Every single one must not only be on (not muted) but the more controls you have, the more you need to be aware of how they're set.  In other words, the first volume control should be at max, or near max to send a strong signal to the next control.  This will represent the loudest level you want to hear.  The next control should be slightly lower or equal.  If it is greater than the first, then you increase hiss as well as volume.  Not good.  Continue until you get to the last.  This will be the master volume, and this is the only control you should use to adjust volume.  \n\nYou have control panel volume.  Do your speakers have their own volume knob?  What about the sound card- is there a control you need to activate?\n\nOf course, this is assuming all the software and hardware is compatible with one another.\n\nIf possible, swap the rear speakers with your front speakers, and test to see if they are working.  That would eliminate defect in the speakers, as well as the wire leads connected to them.\n\nFinally, make certain you have installed all required drivers to run your sound card.\n\nIt's a little difficult to offer advice without knowing more specifics regarding what sort of system you have.  Hope this helps a little.\n\nGood luck.

You don't need any software, just get an RCA lead that that has a headphone plug at one end and plugs that will go into your stereo at the other.  It should then simply plug into your headphone socket.   Just go to any computer shop and ask, it should cost about £5 ($10).  If you want to set up additional sets of speakers you should be able to do it from your stereo.  Hope that helps.

depends on the amp, if the amplification has 2 outs it's stereo if there's no amplification whatsoever then is LIVE, but to some sound engineers purists there's not a category like live so they call it mono.

Your question is a bit unclear. Despite the fact i'll help you at my level best.\n\nAre you trying to record some digital sound signal from your laptop to the pc or vice versa? \nIf so simply use the sound cards (integrated or PCI i.e Creative Audigy) Line_In and Line_Out ports on them. The computer that receives digital sound signals should be connected with a supported cable to its Line_In, and the computer that transmits should be connected to the Line_Out. But you should remember to initialize your settings in accordance to parameters that would not create unwanted distortion (Noise Hiss..!) i.e use 50 percent volume on the master of your digital mixer and line out/in.\n\nMono Out? \nMono is only single effect on the signal, its really good for speeches but why do you want Mono. You could sometime set certain parameters to receive Mono Signals on your card if it supports such. But it is possible to recieve Digital Stereo signals and then convert them into Mono with software assistance (Nero Wave Editor).  It doesn't take much time to do that as well.\n\nMicrophone!\nYes, thisis required to collect all audio signals from the atmosphere and then route them to the digital path (if using the digital mixers). But if you are utilizing Microphones try good quality microphones that have the appropriate i.e FM mics. \n\nGood Luck!

Good day:\n\nCircular buffer is very important to store analog data before transfering to digital format. Circular buffer is effective to swicth to many devices simultaneously. Intel webiste provide lots of DSP information!\n\nThank you, bye!

You'll have to install a sound card that supports digital speakers.  As far as I know, the Soundblaster live does not support digital speakers.  You will want at least an Audigy 2 ($42) for digital speakers, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?DEPA=0&type=&description=audigy&Submit=ENE&Ntk=all&N=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 but the best sound card is the X-Fi ($113), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102188\n\nAnd just so you know that Realtek is an integrated solution which is built into your motherboard.
