Cannot get my 5.1/7.1 around at work. Any HELP!

Hi all

I have an Alienware aurora r4 I bought last year. Ive been trying to get my surround sound to work but to no avail.

(Forgive me with my name, I'm not too familiar with audio component.)

My computer has the 6 connectors meant for sound... (I think that the Pink is the microphone) and an optical cable port with and another connection that is a bit 'Orange', it's just next to the optical port, if someone can tell me the name I will be greatfull.

I have a surrounding (I think what its called a "receiver") which can use only the optical cable. I don't know whether the orange port next to the optical port on my computer, but I can't use it with what I have.

Here my problem, I can hear the sound coming out, to make it work... But its not 5.1/7.1, it comes regularly sounds on the left and the right.

I have this software on my computer called "Alienware Audio" and a reason, he can see the optical connection to the computer... but it cannot make the advance setting to test the Dolby 5.1, it does that when I have something related to the ordinary green CAR door placed behind my computer.

the optical cable is not recognized as a surrounding port? If so how to solve this.

If I need to install new software rather than use the "audio Alienware', please let me know. I intend to install an a ' software realtek audio "but I'm not sure which one who or where.

Anyhelp is appreciated, I know that the speaker works around since I've tested on a ps4 and tv but my pc does not work for some reason any

Thank you

Surround sound bit-streaming (like a DVD movie) work on Optical SPDIF. That should work now. That sound does not take a lot of space because it is digital and it only sent directly to the receiver. Only, he's has decoded and extended to 5.1 channels of sound.

Games do not use. They use 5.1 channels of the PCM. To get this to work, you must use ONE of them:

1. the 4 analog connections. Yes, like a Logitech speaker system.

2. a better sound card. Internal or external. It shall be popular AC3/DTS/DD + formats, it will decode the sound surround and send more optic to receiver HTiB (Home Theater in a box) as you currently have. Only small problem is that SPDIF does not have a lot of bandwidth (it's quite old these days) and was really only intended to receive a digital bit stream (and its PCM as stereo 2-channel). Therefore, all channels must be sous-échantillonné to a version less than PCM (so they all enter SPDIF optical cable).

3. If you have a fairly common VIDEO card with an HDMI port and a receiver who manages the HDMI, and maybe it's in the living room (also with a HD TV connected to the receiver). Connect PC and HDTV receiver with HDMI cables and you can game in Surround sound. HDMI can handle many full-band channels its (called multi-channel PCM). It can also manage his digital Bit-streaming as a SPDIF (optical or coaxial) cable can.

  • Cannot get ePrint or other features on CM1415fnw to work

    Cannot get ePrint or other features on CM1415fnw to work. I can see the printer on the network, proceed to its IP via the wireless, added to ePrint, but apps and some other features do not work. As he never printed the ePrint instructions after that I clicked on the touch screen repeatedly. He just flashed to another screen then returned to the home screen, like nothing happened. I tried print article USA today money through the Apps but it is there for 2-3mins then finally said that he can't reach the web. However, I have on the web right now writing this review from my laptop which is connected to the same wireless router. I sent an email with a few lines of text to the ePrint address, that I was able to locate on the menu diagnastoics by going to the printers IP address. The e-mail never printed but ePrint site shows as pending and that the printer is online. This whole experience has been a joke. I am a network engineer and I know that's not my network. I don't use a proxy and my wireless router and ISP are large open. No firewall or any other nonsense it hangs. It's just bad software/hardware to HP. I also confirmed that the printer has the latest version of the firmware which is 20101125.

    The idea of having this printer works with all features, it comes with would be great. Any thoughts?

    I think I solved the problem. You can't have a USB connection and a network connection to the printer at the same time. I had a USB connection to the laptop and a Wi - Fi connection to printer. I unplugged the USB and then unplugged the printer. I leave a little clear all memory volatile and plugged in. After letting it go online and get it is the IP address of the wireless router, I was able to print to it by sending my email through the connection wireless address ePrint. I am also now able to print from Apps.

    Conclusion, HP needs to fix their firmware in the next version or work with both USB and wireless/wired network connection or provide some sort of pop-up warning that connections are not supported at the same time.

    Hello

    Sorry we don't communicate via this forum.

    You need a real antivirus because these are the two antispyware. You have the PCtools antivirus
    on the computer or just their toolbar in Internet Explorer?

    -------------------------------------------------

    If there is no antivirus on the computer here is what I use and recommend (except for one
    program like Prevx, you don't want more than one antivirus on the computer program
    much less running because they interfere with each other and lower security). Each combination
    of her below you will warn of malware without toolbar from PCtools running online.

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are alll free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps.

    5. without it, developing the main folder .exe , right-click (default) right and the change . Change the value in exefile data

    6. in the same HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT , find the folder items exefile and click right (default) and the change . Change the value data to "% 1" % *

  • Cannot get card GeForce GTX 560 Ti CUDA to work with the new version of first Pro CC 2014

    In the past, I was able to get CUDA on my GeForce GTX 560 Ti card to work with the Mercury playback engine by adding 'GeForce GTX 560 it' in the file cuda_supported_cards.txt. But with the new version of CC 2014 first, this file is not in the repertoire of Premiere Pro more. Is there a way to get my GTX 560 it be listed as a card support for CUDA with CC 2014?

    So, I thought about it.  I installed the latest graphics driver, and then open the NVIDIA Control Panel.  Here, I've selected "Manage 3D settings" and went to the 'Program settings' tab  I chose Adobe Premiere (adobe first pro.exe) in the list and under the function of "CUDA" - GPU, I changed to "Use these GPU" and selected my GTX 560 it (which was the only one listed).

    After that, I opened the first Pro CC 2014 and selected 'Project Settings - général' and was therefore able to choose "Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration" under Renderer (which was unavailable).

    I hope this will help someone else if they encounter the same problem.

  • Cannot get the new version of Flash Player to work.

    Sites of the New York Times and slate (it is today, although it started with the time two days ago and I have to him until today) said I had to update the player. Did links on sites, download and install shows as a success, but not good to get anything to work and sites are the new version is not installed as it still tells me to install it. Visit the site of Adobe directly to install it, which did not work. Verified through troubleshooting site and done everything I was told to do it, I went to tools, ensured that this script is activated as a Java script and the two were, does not need to change anything. Downloads closed then reopened browser (IE just before 9, OS Win 7 64-bit), not good, then challenged computer market, at least two times (at this time I lost count) and also not good. Anyone else noticed post indicating problems with YouTube videos and I have that too. I got some videos and for a very brief flash of time I see a red band at the top of the video, barely there quite a long time to read me, talk to me about something Flash Player. This was never a problem before downloading so I have no idea of what is happening here.

    Sorry its too late for you back up or save your data if you are unable to enter the password for your phone.

    The only option you have is if you backup icloud, go to a Terminal Wifi known as your home and a plug to a power source and it automatically backs up your phone.

    It is why you save or import your photos on a regular basis and not in times of crisis.

  • I've updated to Firefox, The Free Dictionary has lost some essential features, cannot get back them. The DFT now only works in English. What should do?

    I updated Firefox to 10.0.2 and lost the functionality of The Free Dictionary. I reinstalled TFD, but now it only works in English. Say I read a German Web page, highlight a Word, the dictionary will seek in the English Dictionary. Before that I had all the versions I needed, and the dictionary automatically in the right. And before that I could have the toolbar installed, now there is no option for this either. What should I do?

    Maurizio salute, I asked you to a problem with the free dictionary. I found the solution, which in fact was not technical. In case someone else has the same, that's what I did not understand: when I highlight a word in a text in a language other than English, the dictionary gives me an explanation in English, i.e. 'not found word', but when I then press 'Search', the dictionary connect in the appropriate dictionary. It works even in Chinese! So, problem solved. The dictionary is not as good as before, but still, it works. Best regards, Markku
