Connecting Digital Speaker Systems

The Digital Out output on your USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX is continuously active except during DVD-Audio playback. Enabling the Digital Output Only selection in Creative Speaker Settings will disable analog speaker output. It is not necessary to enable Digital Output Only to use the Digital Out connector.

As with dedicated DVD-Audio player devices, output from DVD-Audio playback is limited to analog output. The digital output is disabled and cannot be used during DVD-Audio playback.

About Creative Applications

Creating MP3 songs from your music CDs

With Creative MediaSource Organizer, you can easily create high quality MP3 songs from music CDs that you own.

1. Insert an audio CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive.

2. Click Start -> Programs -> Creative -> Creative MediaSource -> Creative MediaSource Organizer.

3. If your audio CD is not selected, in the Sources window, select your audio CD.

Listening to Audio in Multi-channel Surround

Normally, 2-channel music and certain movie soundtracks will only be heard from your front speakers and some or none of your surround speakers. You can, however, choose to "upmix" the audio so that it is heard from all your surround speakers (if available). To upmix audio to all your surround speakers:

1. Click Start -> Programs -> Creative -> USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX -> EAX Console.

2. Click the CMSS 3D tab.

3. Select either CMSS audio, CMSS 2 or Stereo Surround.

CMSS 3D options may be unavailable for certain models of Creative audio devices. For 4.1 speaker systems, audio from the subwoofer or Low Frequency Effects channel speaker is derived solely from the main audio signal.

CMSS audio upmixes music to all speakers in 4/4.1, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker systems (if available).

The loudness of each speaker is tuned for optimal surround effect.

Stereo Surround duplicates the front channel audio to all surround speakers without any artificial enhancements.
