Audigy TOSlink Adapter for MiniDisk.
Any suggestions..
Gooogle is an amazing resource. It can often answer questions such as these. Try a query such as this one: http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...link+converter Third link from the top seems to be what you're looking for (it's this one, in case the results page changes for you): http://www.minidisc.org/part_Dayton_...converter.html Now, I didn't follow any of these links to see if they're precisely what you want, but hey, I can't do EVERYTHING for you! Also, I've been told these things are pretty easy to build yourself, and Google should be able to offer some blueprints provided it is fed the right keywords. |

Yes I spent 10 hours doing it and found No Articles at all. Ten hours doing what? I would think it unlikely you googled for ten hours and found nothing relevant, unless you didn't use any proper keywords or such. Hell, I got a link to the device you need on the first page of results with my first attempt... Do you know at all how to use a search engine? Plus Creative uses a None Standard SPdif.. SPDIF is SPDIF, there is no "none standard" SPDIF. Either it is, or it isn't. The connector is different, true, but that doesn't matter. Just get yourself an adaptor plug. You have to get a Device that made for the SBlive or Audigy sound card.. No, that is not true. |

SPDIF is SPDIF, there is no "none standard" SPDIF. Either it is, or it isn't. ********. Uh, LOL! Explain then how this "none standard" SPDIF actually works just fine when piped into any piece of equipment that accepts SPDIF input. I've got my Audigy2 ZS connected to a digital receiver, and it works. All it needs is a minijack plug in the digital out connector for $5 at most and that's it. It is the same for the entire SB Live and Audigy(2) series. The cards output quite normal SPDIF without exception, through a different kind of connector. Seems that you do not know a thing I have been using the net since 197x Uh... Riiight. First of all, the "net" didn't exist in the 70s, and second... Well, I don't really need to continue. Stop making an ass out of yourself and at least pretend to be grateful when people try to help you. If you're so ****ing smart, how come you had to ask in the first place, huh? |

Well a lot Smarter than you ..
Smarter? LOL, I'm not the one begging for help due to ineptness and incompetence when using common internet search engines... Dude, to be quite frank, you're completely clueless. You ask for help and then you get obnoxious when it's provided. You say the SPDIF out on Creative cards is "none standard", but you can't say how it comes this "none standard" output still works just fine with the right connector used. You lie and say you've used the internet since the 70s; either you're just making **** up to try and sound important, or you're a senile, doddering idiot who can't tell fact from fiction. Simply put, you have no idea what the **** you're talking about. Congratulations! You managed to be unpleasant while proving your own stupidity at the same time! Bwaa haa haa, you've been owned, dumbass... Now, if you still need help, I'll try to provide it IF you ask NICELY. After all, I have used the net since 1994 or 95, so I know my way around. |

But that just makes you are teenager when compared to me I'm not a teenager, even 'when compared to you'. and I have used the net from the days it first started here in NZ Oh, so it's not since the 70s anymore? LOL, I don't see why anyone should believe a word you say by now, considering how your story changes over time. I found stacks of articles doing my none existent searches that the SPdif in the SBlive cards were not standard, like not being +/- 0.5 Volt and some quoting 9v, plus their is the 5V TTL version of SPdif.. Except I actually USE my SPDIF out connector and have found it to be quite normal in the way it functions, so you should listen to the one with the experience and expertise (and that would be me by the way). There's nothing funny with the SPDIF output on Creative's cards. It's SPDIF, period, and it works just as one would expect to. |

Not from 99% of the search results that I got.. Well I'm telling you I'm actually USING my SPDIF out, so if it's "none standard" how come it's working? You're talking outta your butt, pal. It works. Period. |

Into a Sony Minidisk Recorder..? Minidisc recorders are typically optical, so no, not into a minidisc recorder (duh). It will work into anything accepted coax SPDIF though since there's nothing funny with the signal the card outputs. |

That is what I was posting about.. Which is why I gave you a link to a coax-to-optical converter, at which point you started all this nonsense about the SPDIF output being "none standard" (which it isn't). |

Yep, 'standard spdif' interfaces expect a 5V amplitude stream, the Live uses 0.5V. Most equipment will be sensitive enough to happily use the signal anyway, hence why it works with most digital receivers. You'd just have to hope that this is the case with an optical convertor box. Hoontech make a basic optical bracket for Live/Audigy which would provide a tidier solution. |

The Live! and the Audigy family have a tripole with 3 paralel tripoles for
getting surround sound (5.1) through to their own speakers and some Denon receivers. However for recording to a mini-disc recorder an ordinary stereo cable will do as this will convey the front left and right channels. Mini-discs can't do more than stereo so it shouldna matter.
