I used to avoid putting holes in the wall, but after installing thousands of dollars in SmartThings related devices in this house, I figured I’ll be here long enough to justify a few more holes to repair some day. While I was at it, I attached the speakers to the walls and ceiling for a nicer setup. That arrived Wednesday, and I immediately broke from writing – a journal entry about how I hadn’t been writing for six weeks – to run nice new wire and set up the speakers.

I underestimated the weight of the wire, though, and after consulting the Z-5500 manual to see what thickness was originally used, I ordered 100 feet of white GearIT 18 gauge speaker wire. I also bought 100 feet of AmazonBasics 16 gauge speaker wire I thought I’d use to connect the center speaker and replace the old networking cable I salvaged to connect the other speakers. I bought a gold plated Toslink cable to connect the optical S/PDIF ports on my ASUS motherboard and Z-5500 speakers. Well, a week ago, I decided to give surround sound another try. I hadn’t even had the center speaker connected, as I didn’t like the faked surround sound mode and preferred to use simple “stereo x2”, where it plays the front signals in the rear speakers as well. I’ve therefore only been using two stereo channels, despite the Z-5500 supporting six channels of Dolby Digital or DTS audio. To conveniently use both setups simultaneously, I use a FiiO E10K USB DAC (digital to analog converter) for more power than the computer’s stereo jack, and into that I have plugged a Monster iSplitter 1000 Y-Splitter, which connects via a stereo cable to each speaker set. When projecting movies on my wall or listening to music, I use my home theater speakers ( Logitech Z-5500, purchased April 10, 2007, for $255, but now discontinued and used ones are much more expensive!). I have been using normal desk speakers ( Creative GigaWorks T40, purchased September 20, 2009) for playing audiobooks and watching videos at my desk. I’ve since bought a 2016 12” MacBook anyway, but that’s a separate story. I also needed to save money since I had recently quit my job. I figured I could buy a MacBook Pro, or for the same money, build a more powerful desktop. There are a couple sections in the program specific results at the bottom that need more testing.īack in January, I built a hackintosh after trying the 2015 12” MacBook and finding it much to slow. I’m planning to try a USB device and see if I can circumvent the problem, in which case I’ll probably report back. I didn’t know this was going to become a blog entry till I got deep into it and figured I should record some of my research. Note: Some of the below could use another pass, though I’m not sure I’ll get time. Needless to say, it’s been frustrating! I currently can only get reliable DTS surround sound using the Plex Home Theater app, but that’s clunky and won’t play any video file like VLC player. Using Windows, everything works splendidly, but I’m primarily running OS X El Capitan. I haven’t been totally successful yet, but I do have a much better understanding of audio formats and channels and and technologies involved. This week I’ve been trying to get true surround sound from my desktop’s optical digital port. If your not getting what's going on hopefully this will help.Update: I’ve settled on a solution using the Creative SB1560 and three audio cables, giving up on optical digital audio. Here's a quick screencast video I made for my bug report. Obviously these changes have not made it the current version of MplayerX.

Now the "stoplight" style maximize button in the top left of windows takes it's place when relevant. It appears in Yosemite that Apple is abandoning the top-right fullscreen symbol. If I enter fullscreen using view>fullscreen or using the fullscreen symbol in the top-right of a video, I have no issues.

CMD+F fullscreen leads to a fullscreen frozen frame of the video and eventually either a force quit or a total crash of MplayerX. In fact, I only have issues if I enter fullscreen using Command+F (which is still a big bummer as CMD+F is an intense automatic muscle memory thing for me). Updating seems to be at least a partial fix. Now I no longer experience the White Screen of Death.

I originally downloaded via the App Store and didn't realize MplayerX has left the Mac App Store.Īfter updating via /downland.html our issue evolved. Putting the report together I relized I was not on the current version 1.0.22.1 (1785).

I decided to submit an issue report on MplayerX's Google Code page. Another user and I were discussing this on another post, and I think my experience may be helpful here.
