  1. optical input

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted · Edited by lamuskrat

    I have a sound blaster SC with the Creative Audigy 2 zs I/O front panel interface. I have a Samsung LCD monitor / tv. I have good sound coming from my Creative 5.1 while in pc mode, but only tv speakers when on tv. Was told to install optical cable. Have done so....no joy. Same as before. Cable from optical out on set to optical in on interface was all I did. Is there a program or controls I need to get sound from tv to play through Sound blaster card and to speakers?

    are you sure teh optical connection on the tv is an out or an in?

    it sounds like the optical on the tv is an input, and not an output. that is why it is possibly not working.

    if you have like a dvd player with an optical out on it try it and see if it works on the pc.

    but i am betting that either the connection on the tv is an input only.

    did you look at the settings for the audio card?

    Let me check the input / output thing. I was told this by the Samsung tech. Secondly I believe I have all SC parameters correct. Audio plays flawlessly and checked out with Creative Diagnostics.

    No I just checked the manual and it is digital audio out for "amplification".

    Database Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

    File: /home/content/f/r/a/francesonline/html/forum/Sources/Security.php

    Line: 279

    The above is a msg that I keep getting at one of my websites / forums of which I am a member. Constantly getting msg. Extremely slow loading of forum / pages/ threads (when I do finally get in). My pc is clean and fast. This is the only site giving me problems. Admin says there is nothing wrong on the server end. (even though others have encountered problems too). I am positive that it is not my pc or internet (have done speed tests...avg or above depending on test used).

    What can it be and what does this mean?

    Thanks

    Anyone have the proper solution?????

  13. Very Scary Situation

    Thank God all is well, and she is fine. That is ultimately the most important thing.

    Thats why we need to take friends with us when we're out in public anymore. My friends just happen to be Dan Wesson, Berretta (not Robert Blake either), Colt, and a few lesser known. I have had the law called on me twice for "packing", and both times nothing happened due to the laws. It was in plain sight (NOT conceiled), in a holster and not being brandished.

    Note to Mod(s): I am not advocating violence. I do however propigate self-defense and defense of our children. I do believe in assisting our overworked and under paid law enforcement whose hands have been tied.

  20. Electricians Out There?

    WRONG!

    I used to install HVAC and whoever is telling you that has no concept of electrical. I am assuming that the "disconnect" (trade name for service box you are attempting to mount) is for a 120v sytem. You should have a blk, a wht and a grn wire. Blk and Wht go to the fuses and grn goes on the ground lug. If the system is 208v/220v you will not have a nuetral. Should be 2 blk wires and a green.

    Pull box should have 2 fuses (amp protection based on size of condenser unit tonage). A schmeatic should have come with it.....if all else fails follow the included destructions (lol...instructions)

    Note: Nuetral and ground are NOT the same. One is a return path of electricity back to the panel (in simplistic explaination) and the ground is a protection carrying electricity away to ground or earth ground. If you look at your wall outlets the ground is bare but does not land the same place as the nuetral.

    You can always look the manufacturer up on the net and see if they have a wiring diagram or call them.
