Great, Andy, for getting it to work. I don't know if I'd have succeeded but
I've watched your messages back and forth with Audrey and, who knows, one
day I might even have a second sound card installed myself. That would be
something really good!

HI there Andy,
I am so glad it all worked out for you. You will find it very useful to
have the jaws on separate speakers, I am so glad I managed to change mine
over quite a while ago.
I was glad to be able to help.

Hi Audrey.
I went into PC World in Glasgow yesterday and replaced my Logitech
speakers for Creative 5.1 speakers. The sub had three minijacks that
fitted into the back of the Soundblaster and all is working well. Not a
bad sound considering the speakers cost £45 and the External SoundBlaster
cost £49. It's like a wee hi-fi in my study. Nice also to be able to
access all of my music, which is on my computer, without having to bother
with CD cases and trying to identify a particular album.. My next task,
and I'll leave this for a few days, is accessing the Optical line-in/out
facility. If I can get this to work, then I will be able to record audio
described movies from my DVD Player/Recorder to my computer. God, a few
years ago, we could not even play cd's on our computers, now we are able
to do all this. Magic isn't it? Thanks very much for all of your help in
setting up this system, and thank goodness for lists such as this, for
I'd never have been able to do this on my own.
Thanks again .
Best wishes.
.
Andy

Hi Andy,
I think that if you get some creative speakers, you are likely to get a
set with a subwoofer, oh smiles, light dawns! I now know that this is
the way to go. CSub means centre subwoofer. So this is the socket I
assume you will plug into. My speakers are very small with a switch on
the one speaker that powers them. These speakers plug into the
subwoofer that then plugs into the sound card, presumably in the CSub
socket. This will mean that you have control over bass and trebble
which is what I do.
I am sorry that you have had so much trouble with PC World. If you tell
them when and where you purchased the speakers from, if they have the
serial number, surely they can find out if you did purchase them?
Hope it all works out for you.
Audrey

Hi Audrey.
Did you see Tristram's message. Looks like I'll have to go back up to
PC World and change the speakers. I managed eventually to get through
to the Glasgow shop and they still could not assist me, other than
advise that if I bring the speakers back, they will replace them, if I
have a receipt. I never keep receipts! I know I should, especially
when purchasing from such a rubbish shop. Now it's a whole day event
travelling into Glasgow, and even if they exchange the speakers, I bed
the correct ones will be double the price.
I'll really need to identify a better shop for all of this stuff in my
area. PC World are terrible and they simply don't wish to know, once
you have paid them.
You are right, the salesperson should not have recommended the Logitech
speakers if she did not know if they were the correct ones.
Best wishes.
Andy

HI Andy,
It really does sound like they have sold you some speakers that will
not work with this soundcard. I do believe I have some creative
speakers with my card, but without sightede help I cannot prove this.
Wouldn't you think that PC World would have known that these speakers
would not work with that card? Just shows you how much these people
that sell things to you really do know!

Hi all.
I have just purchased a set of Logitech speakers, which come with an
additional central speaker. I have also purchased Creative
Soundblaster 24 bit external soundcard.
Audrey from this list kindly assisted in setting up the soundcard in
order that I could retain my existing speakers for jaws.
The sound card seems to be working for I can listen via headphones
plugged into the front of it.
However, I think I was sold an incompatible system from PC World.
I've been on the phone to them for over an hour and all they can
suggest is that I travel into Glasgow and take the speakers with me.
It's over 2 hours for me to get in there on public transport.
I thin the system is incompatible because the plug from the speaker
system that plugs into the sound card is a phono plug and not a
minijack. Although the soundcard does have a phono socket called
Spdif out and the phono plug fits into this, I get no sound at all
coming through the speakers.
Can anyone shine some light on this problem please as I'd hate to go
into Glasgow for nothing.
Best wishes.
Andy
