    Logitech Z-5500 Digital Soundroom

    If you are planning to go on analogue then i recommend you configure your claro output as 5.1 Ch or 6 Channel mode. If your Claro Plus has got a bass-redirection or Flexibass feature , then you may turn it on as it re-directs a selected range of Low Frequencies to your heavy Sub. But its...

    Ahh alright !! There is your problem. When you configure as 2ch output, all the 6 channel contents (DDL, DTS example) are downmixed and ouputted as just stereo channels. So you could hear everything mixed on your front left and right speakers only. But if you really wanna get all the 6 ch via a...

    I seriously doubt, your analogue cables are plugged on wrong jacks. Please do a channel-Test from your HT Claro Control panel to make sure everything is connected well and correct. I would also recommend to have a Pink-Noise test from your logitech remote control (Test Button) to make sure the...

    Your headphones dont output anything because there is no Analogue output while your SPDIF is in use. This only happens in Vista/7. Thats not correct. Its a complete limitation of the OS (Vista/7) which is weird as it worked flawlessly on XP- 32/64. Yes. Definitely. Yes thats another...

    Logitech Z-5500 Digital Soundroom

    Its a different story in Vista/7. No Simultaneous audio output via Optical/Digital. By Default the audio will be outputted via only Analogue. You can hear on your headfone coz its looped with the Analogue output. For digital SPIDIF out you need to select the default audio device in control panel...

    Right !! You can also perfectly get it done by slightly increasing the 125Hz(2-4dB) Cycle Band on the EQ.

    I don't get any hiss/noise form Center/Rear Channels at all if its in "Stereo Mode". In Fact the Center/Rear Channels are truly disabled.

    Logitech Z-5500 Digital Soundroom

    Right. But it was just a suggestion. In "6Ch Direct Mode" the POD is active and listening for all the 6 Channels(all Channels are powered ) where as in stereo mode only 2+1 are powered unless any "effect" is applied. So why to power UN-wanted channels ? or Why don't you turn of UN-wanted...

    As DanishDevil already suggested , hook them via your analogue cables. I have a Xonar D2X too. The Analogue sound quality is just amazing and as he already mentioned digital is not always better. But i would also recommend you to keep you control POD in Stereo mode [A tiny switch at the back...
