sorry i lazy read the whole thread..

any shops around IPOH selling Z5500 ?

im using realtek sound card..( it comes with my mobo)
got digital input ..

so my question is " Am i good to go for Z5500?

does Z5500 comes with the "Optical cable "

or do i need to buy one?

my soundcard has S/PDIF output digital...

is tat the one i should plug it in?

im getting mine this week...
my gosh... never realise Z5500 have been around so long

any one can play dts 5.1 ( spdif) on VLC / WMC using Mkv files?

tried using AC3 filter but to no avail

all i get is a PLII movie signal in Z5500..

i duno this is the right thread to discuss it ..

i just got it fixed ..now it works..

i previously installed the SRS audio thingy ..
so i just uninstalled it and now it shows DTS Digital on my z5500..
perhaps it (SRS)messes up my realtek driver or something

so happy now..

i need to carry the satellite speakers seperately before i carry the subwoofer to my upstairs bedroom ,,

its so heavy but it worths every sweat

my z5500 control pod display light is now faded and completely dark now..
luckily the pod still shows the display words without the light on

anybody facing this issues?

I currently using my built-in realtek soundcard with S/Pdif. Its works great for now. But i want to upgrade to something much much better.

anyone can recommend a good sound card from Creative for my z5500 .
i watch mostly High Definition 720p/1080p Mkv.files with DTS and i'm also a hardcore gamer.

Edit : Btw, i was just checking this Sound card. PCI-Express Xi-Fi titanium.
Any opinion sifus?

well, i'm using a digital cable direct S/pdif to realtek onbard. For movies with DTS its sounds great.
Games wise , its sounds not so good for analog 5.1 or stereo. i THINK my Z5500 can do better with a good sound card for movies. and games of coz.


any suggestions?

digital and optical cable is the same.. i use it mostly for watching movies coz they provide DTS surround sound by passing through Spdif..not to mention the crisp and clarity..

As i said, gaming wise is not really good coz its sounds so muffled through my Analog 5.1. ( not spdif)

i've been thinking of a Asus XOnar D2x soundcard..

if you use it for watching movies/bluray & games, u won't be disappointed with it.

Bad thing about z5500 is that they do not provide a speaker stand for the rear speaker. .
I suggest you hook up the rear speakers on the wall, about 5-7 feet high to create a surround sound ambience. Again, its up to each individual taste. (Tips : Your ear is your best friend )

And finally, don't blame me if ur neigbour report you to police
