[6-channel direct cable or optical ?]

so its okay to change my 3 chich cables with TOSLINK optical cable and still get all the benefits of 5.1 ? Is sound better with optical cable (S/PDIF)?

[6-channel direct cable or optical ?]

Hi, i have a Logitech Z-680 sound system, and i just don't know anything about connecting them. Since I connected them for the first time with a direct 6-channel cable (sound is very weird, and its not the sound card problem, because before i had x540 and they worked nicely)

I was thinking of buying an optical cable (Input: Optical)(Input: COAX???) <---- (those are the options in Z-680's command console)

I don't know anything about optical cable for sound systems (does 5.1 work with optical?)

And What is COAX anyway?

Im noob in these thing and i would Appreciate some help, so i can optimally listen to movies and playing games..

Thank you very much.

[Buying new hardware]

Last week my old graphic card 4850 radeon died.

I immediaetly bought radeon 6850, its a good graphic card.

but i think my processor and motherboard bottleneck the whole system (E8200 and GA-P35C-DS3R 775lga motherboard). am i right that this system bottlenecks my graphic card???

i was looking to buy new motherboard, ram and processor. since my budget is low i was thinking about... 4gigs ram corsair (2x2gb), and i3 550 processor.

About the motherboard i don't have a clue what to buy, i was looking noumerous motherboards but there so much of this stuff on the market.

I "think" i want a 1156 socket (is it good or another one), but the stuff complicates about chip set i looked at motherboards and they have i57, h57, i67,... and lots of other chipsets...

Which chipset is the ?Fastest? or i don't know gives most performance???? and i would like to buy modern tech chipset not some 1,2 year old board with old chipset...

Please help me make a decision

thank you all for helping....

[Language Error]

Yes there are three languages installed English, pyccknn (russian i think), and slovenian (my native language), When i try to uninstall language pack, windows doesn't recognise any of there languages. and doesn't shows any language to uninstall..

[Language Error]

Im running Windows 7 64-bit.

And last week i installed some wierd files, mods for company of heroes, and some other things.

And language changed to russian. But not in windows, and not everywhere. For example i have Fable III pc game, and when i install it with English language pack, game is in russian when i run it ?????????????????????

And when i try to install new chipset drivers, install is in russian???? I don't know what i destroyed of corrupted but is there any way to reverse setting back to english??

Again i must tell you that russian language isn't everywhere but only in some installations or tabs.

Thanks for everything and any ideas..

[Setting margins in word document (Microsoft Word 2003)]

Dear forum members,

I am asking for your help with setting up top and bottom margins (menu File, submenu Page setup) in word document.

Requirements for top margin are following:

- between edge of the paper (A4 – paper size) and text must be blank space; this field must be wide between 2 and 2,5 cm. I prefer highest possible margin, that is 2,5 cm.

- My question is how to setup margin (in submenu Page setup) and layout to fulfill previously mentioned requirements. I have set up top margin to 2,5cm, layout (from edge - header) is set to 0,0 cm. Final result is not satisfying, because blank space measures 3,3 cm. Where have I gone wrong? Is it possible that measure is wrong because of printer settings, are my settings by default ok?

- For orientation Portrait is used

- Header option is not used (Header does not exsits!)

Requirements for bottom margin are following:

- Footer is used (pages are numbered; central alignment is used)

- Blank space between edge of a paper and page number must be exactly 2,0 cm

- My current settings are: bottom margin is set to 0,0 cm , layout (from edge – footer) is set to 2,0 cm; i know that this settings are false, because narrow space between page number and text must exist

Thnx for any answers in advance.

Best regards

[Problem with Logitech X-540 Sound System]

I just bought budget Sound system called X-540 from Logitech...

I quickly plugged all the speakers and subwoofer.......

Than i played one of my favourite movies Saving Private Ryan....

But i can't get rear speakers to work and i also tried other dvd's...

- Im 100% I correctly plugged my speakers and connected them to my PC....

- I have on-board sound card that is more than enough to run my speakers (Gigabyte P35C-DS3R)

Must i uninstall sound drivers and reinstall them ?

Is it because i used to have 2.0 stereo speakers and windows still thinks it's 2.0 ?

I tried to configure the system in realtek HD audio Manager but no success.. when i click the pictures to test the speakers i hear rear speakers in front ones....

Must i install any Logitech software?

Any Ideas ?

thnx
