Hi Tristram.
Thanks for responding to my enquiry. Having trouble though getting my
non-technical mind around what you are saying. hahaha.
You mention the Sub. Is this the larger centre speaker? if so, there is a
line from the powered satellite to this centre speaker; another to the other
satellite and a third with a phono socket at the end, which I presumed, plugged
into the Soundblaster. The Soundblaster has a USB to my computer.
The Soundblaster has a number of sockets on the back and these are as follows:
C/sub
Rear
Front
Line in
Spdif out
Din
Usb
I am hoping that PC World will replace my Logitech speakers and exchange these
with a Creative system. Am I correct in thinking then, that the Creative
system, will all have individual miniplugs to fit each of these sockets, and
that the USB will power them?
Thanks.
Best wishes.
Andy

Get the whole set from Creative or whoever, your connection problem is
because your Logitech speakers either don't use the same hookup as your sub or
don't provide any output to feed the sub. It is most usual that either the
powered satellite feeds the sub or the other way around rather than taking
another feed directly off of the soundcard with 2:1 sound systems. The SP/DIF
will be no good for this.

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
