on sound card, green is for front stereo, blue for real surround, orange is for X.1 subwoofer connector...

since your speaker is 4.1 only, either yellow or black 3.5mm head should got 2 segments only(surround and front should be 3 segments on it)...so just connect the 2 segments connector to the orange jack on the sound card.

huh?u mean i dun use real surround?
4.1 cannot do surround meh?
how do i connect both yellow and black both into the orange jack?
i tot orange as u said is subwoofer jack, how come black (rear out, i thought) goes into the subwoofer jack?

sorry...i'm not questioning u...i really dun understand here...
trying to get this whole thing work

lol ,you don't understood what i said....

i didn't mean connect both yellow and black into the orange jack, i just said look for your speaker cable, either black or yellow got 2 segments in that head(i guess only, cause i don't know which cable is subwoofer and which one is real surround for your speaker)....

conclusion....connect your real surround into blue jack, subwoofer into orange jack.. clear now?

OHHH~now i get it...
haha...okok...my yellow cable has 2 segments...
so my yellow into orange, my black into blue...hehe
wait, that 2 segment thingey, one is plugged into the sound card...the other end i left it hanging oni wat, nothing to connect into oso?rite?
or am i missing something here? something that i'm supposed to plug in here?

damn this card...4 jacks oni...even my previous audigy live have 6 ports...

1 end to sound card, another end sure go to speaker, rite? what means by left it hanging only?

yap, this card only got 4 head, green, blue and orange output 7.1(8 channel)....you need special 3.5mm head cable from Creative if you got more than 5.1 speaker, not good...

EDIT: white jack is flexijack, for line in or SPDIF digital out/in which you can choose from the Creative Console Launcher...

if i buy X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series for 2.1 speaker.
is this wasting money ?
this sound card only work for game?
how about i listen music?
is there any website can i hear the different between onboard sound and X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series?
thx for help.....quite urgent.
because this week will get the speaker and sound card.

Hell no, I been using 2.1 (normally 2.0) with my XtremeMusic. In fact, I don't need more than that

X-Fi series is mainly targeted for music, your question is funny, any souncard can serve for listening to music

Look at Creative site comparing how normal and X-Fi soundcard sounds in games, in EAX games that is

that mean X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series only work for game?
useless for listen music?

you still not understand....every sound card can served as gaming or listening music or whatever audio activity...no sound card in the world that will only limited either on music or gaming...the fact is X-Fi bundle the powerful DSP that will work very well in gaming but not mean that it will worse in music...

so, if your budget allow, just go ahead for your X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro, no need to think about its for what purpose...

Added on June 30, 2008, 8:45 pmall the X-FI series has internal(onboard) DTS decoder...so for your X-fi Xtremegamer fatality as well...

Added on June 30, 2008, 8:58 pmyap, if you already connected all the appropriate connectors to the speaker terminals respectively and it sound correctly, then that means left it hanging is doesn't matter....from your pic, i guess the hanging yellow cable if for extra front center(if your black is for subwoofer)...

wow cool...which mean i can just find myself one speaker and connect it there, and i get 5.1???

Added on June 30, 2008, 9:41 pmIts not useless for listening to music...
Its just that, this card is specially built for games...Playing as many eax modules possible..The surround and all..
but if u listen to music with it...it doesn't mean it'll suck..
its actually pretty good...giving richer audio...ur music will sound nicer..
provided u have good speakers, may it be 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1...
On board audio processor doesn't even come close..

oic...thx for explain
bulk only sell X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series.
so i going to buy a speaker and this sexy sound card.

yap, they are nice bulk, go ahead and report back here when you get it...

i wish to buy but my speakers come wit optical connectivity z-5500D
Then the one selling cheap dont have I/O

your speaker support coaxial digital connection....so no need to use I/O panel...

and once again, i won't suggest ppl buy X-Fi for only as digital output device, you waste the onboard DAC, EAX in gaming...unless you can prove that your Z-5500D build-in DAC is better than X-Fi DAC...
