Questions & Answers

The Ouroboros?

In an eternal cycle, things are destroyed and new things are created.

I was wondering if I could enter If 1 or 5, choose 1. Is it possible for me to plug a pair of speakers (preferably optical) into my computer to play surround sound? Do you want to listen to ?

My pleasure to answer your question. When you input 7, your output will be If 1 or 5, choose 1. If your input is stereo, the answer is yes. If your input is mono, the answer is no. The first step in the SPDIF process is each channel is stereo (two-channel). Five out of five. Choose one of seven. Optical sources from 1 are then compressed to 5 by compression. Choose one of seven. The encoded version is 2 channel and encoded in Dolby Digital/DTS. After it goes to the receiver, it is decoded back into five by a DTS or Dolby receiver. Choose one of seven. I will give 1 to each speaker. Upon receiving your input, which is in compress 5, here is why the answer is no. Choose one of seven. You will need a decoder to decode the 1 (encoded), namely the NBA-32 For every audio encoder, there must be an audio decoder. Many audio encoders do not have audio decoders, such as the 200U. A lack of a decoder means you hear a buzz only when you playback. *br> *br>If your input is stereo, it is not compressed and the NBA-encoder does its job without any problems. It will playback correctly over virtual Surround sound on the 200U.

Is there any special driver needed for the Windows home server operating system?

The concept of a home server is not entirely clear to me. This does not require any driver from a 3rd party system since it runs under Windows 7 x64. As you can see, the OS realizes the device automatically, so hopefully that

Do you know if Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect will work on this device? I am unable to get surround sound on my laptop when I play games. ?

In my case, I am working to get surround in games.

The number 7 is no
3/5

It is 1/2. You have 1 optical/SPDIF output from digital! As my current video card with HDMI output was only able to handle two channel audio, I wanted to upgrade to this card. Looking for sound cards was my first step. Because the small form factor case I am using only has low profile slots, I am limited. This is how I found out about it. The description of the product and nowhere on the website stated that there is no 5 in the series. It is 1/07. It can be connected to 1 digital output. I cannot comprehend what is going on! What would be the point of refusing to allow the multi channel out through the digital outputs? Why would you not make it clear that the multi channel can only come out of the analog output? I am unsure of the sound quality of this device since I've not spent much time with it other than trying to figure out the multi channel output. As it approaches my trash can, it is getting closer to bursting.

First you should download the latest Windows 10 driver from the Vantec website
5/5

Then you should install the driver. In my case, I purchased the Vantec NBA-225 7 of 200U This is a 1 channel adapter that enables the use of 5 channels on my Windows 10 laptop. The sound passes through one of my five speakers. The system consists of two analog surround sound speakers. I have only tested the analog output of the adapter, but it works perfectly! To set it up, I had to spend a bit of time (probably 30 minutes). As I did it, here is how The first thing I did was download the updated driver from the Vantec website and install it (search for "NBA-") This is "200U"). Install by following the installation instructions that appear after you extract the setup and run it (as administrator). I plugged in the USB 3. 0 adapter to the computer and ran the "exe" file. A USB cable was plugged into port 0 and my 5 was plugged into port The Adapter has 1 speaker on the front The front should be green, the back should be black, the sub-section should be orange Describe your subwoofer/center. Rebooting the computer after the installation was completed was the next step. Make sure you reboot after installing the software so that it can complete its installation. I opened the Windows 10 control panel and made the appropriate settings for sound in the sound applet once it had been rebooted. The sound of 1 note. My next step was to check the system task bar, where I found a blue button As soon as I clicked on the icon, I saw a "USB Multi-Port" The "Channel Audio Device" software program turned on and I used it to set up mixers, karaoke machines, and effect machines. When I set the "System Input" to "2 CH", enabled Xear Surround Mix, and selected "Analog Output", I got great surround sound while playing a stereo recording I'd During my testing, I listened to all the speakers to verify that the front, rear, center, and subwoofer are working properly There was no problem with any of the speakers. There are no problems with the volume controls or mute.

This works really well
5/5

The following tips can help. Like many people, I probably experienced the same thing. The Logitech 5 I used on my desktop PC was quite nice. There is one speaker system connected to it (with green, orange, and black cables). The desktop PC I was using died, and I replaced it with a laptop (a fairly old HP Elitebook 8460p) which only had That's what I bought because it seemed to suit my needs, and it was a good price. It turned out that I was right There are now five of them. The sound coming from my laptop is surround sound. The following are a few items to 1*
Support your state/province. This is a pretty compact device (see photo)*2. A USB 2. 0 port can be used for connection. I have it connected to a USB 2. 0 port (in fact, it is connected to a USB 1. 0 port). The number of hubs is 0 USB 3 is not required for these devices. 0. 3. No
. I do not need to use any drivers for Windows 10 Professional v1903 The necessary drivers were automatically loaded by Windows 10. 4
When I first tried to use my center channel, there was no sound. After looking at the instructions, I found out that in Windows 10, I had to run ([Windows key]+R) the mmsys to set that up. This control panel app allows you to manage your account. After selecting my five, I went on to the next step. The following speaker set is available I set everything up and tested it. Because I am not an audiophile, I cannot speak to the quality/accuracy of sound decoding or playing movies/MP3s, but movies and MP3s do sound good This should be of some help!.

Take the reviews with a grain of salt! I was able to use this device without any issues! According to the manufacturer, this device operates exactly as intended
5/5

It is possible to do this if you are knowledgeable in the area. The key to all of this is that this device is NOT a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder. A PCM decoder with optical connectivity is required for decoding the uncompressed I used a simple example to illustrate my point. My Logictech Z906 system does not support optical DRM signal passthrough so I needed an optical digital PCM pass through to watch movies and listen There are also DTS 1 and What I am going to say is this. The only steps are to install the Vantec software with PCM ON - a) set the software to the REDIRECT mode Neither of the rest of the settings are relevant in this case - the analog values are utilized instead. When Windows 10 sees the USB output device, it only sees it as a digital output No activities are available in the area. As long as you are using the same client you must set it to VLC and PLEX should not transcode audio but rather pass it through for playback. It is very important that you do this. This will result in something that sounds like a weird hybrid of stereo/surround that varies in pitch and sound quality. You will only hear two channels of audio in SPDIF When you pass PCM through your cable or wireless device, the assumption is that it can decode the PCM stream. You must change the sound settings in your client to reflect the desired audio format - in this case Dolby, DTS, etc. Once you change the sound settings in the client, your next step is to verify that any movie or music you are playing is in fact encoded for this format. Whenever you play a two channel AC3 or stereo MP3 you will find that the sound does not sound the way you think it should You must be diligent when sending data to SDPIF output as it expects to be decoded by a connected device. In other words, make sure that your computer is outputting PCM (PCM is uncompressed data) and you will be completely delighted with your Vantec device. It's too early for me to comment on the audio quality of the analog output so I can't speak to that My gut feeling is that they would be kind of OK, though I would surmise the A to D converters in a sub $30 DAC would be disappointing. You will do well!.
