This cable is simply and extension to another cable. It will not improve sound in any way, however, it will also not decrease sound quality. Your problem lies deeper than the cable. I would check the settings on your zune.

Same with what Kyle B. said Anand. This is just an extension cable, it doesnt improve existing sound but it is good enough to keep it from degrading which is the usual case when buying these types of cables.

You would have to have a special cord that would connect from the PC to the speaker. We use this application on occasion. The cord we use is a mini plug to a quarter inch. You have to set the PC to mono or you will only get one side of the sound which doesn't seem like a problem but often times music and movies have vocals or instrumentals heavier on one side than the other. I hope this helps! Have a great night!

Hi Pamela,The Zune Car thingy should be able to play what you have on your Zune, that's its job. You don't want it to play the radio from the zune because your cars radio already does that. You should be tuning it from the car pack itself on the square thingy and your car to find the best signal for it.I also find that the zunes proximity to the radio helps, like resting it on the dashboard or within its compartment. The Car packs are a tricky business from ipods to zunes. The ones that are like cassette readers if your car has a cassette player (good luck with that one) that does the job very well and won't interrupt your music with incoming radio. If you have any other questions let me know. Hi Pamela,The Zune Car thingy should be able to play what you have on your Zune, that's its job.

It would seem to me, that without a Zune player in the dock, there is no audio signal to output through the Zune optical output (or the HDMI output either).

The sound is generated by the on-board computer. All you're doing is giving the signal a different alternative to get to your headphones or Stereo. The audio signal remains the same. BTW... instead of plugging this device directly into your unit, I suggest adding a USB extension cord. If you continually plug and unplug this device, you'll eventually tear the plug from the PC board inside.I actually taped my extension on permantly and it will give you longer headphone range with the extra chord length.

I'm quite sure that it doesn't work with a Zune. At least not without a lot of effort to find an adapter. It is also not equipped with an auxiliary input jack. I think it would be best to find a dock made specifically for the Zune. Good luck!

Thankyou for posting this info regarding the radio and remote will not work correctly with the HD Zune.I'll have to pass.Thanks again

Thanks for your response Mr. Holder. I did return mine and the replacement unit works great. I'm not sure if I plugged the first one into a separate power source so it may have been my fault it didn't work. I wish it came with clearer instructions. I may have thought it ran off the power of the stereo or zune.

The audio still comes out of the AV mini jack when you're using component. So, you can either buy the Zune AV cable (which gives you audio and composite video), or just buy any "stereo mini-jack to RCA" cable to get just the audio, then use any component video cable for video.

After cabling my A/V pack (with a Zune 120) to my audio system, I'm getting sound through only 1 speaker. I tried re-seating the red/white/yellow cable on the audio with the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I hope a more informed person will post to enlighten us, but I believe this bypasses your sound card/built in audio codec. I think that is the same for any USB headset.You would need to plug a headset directly via mini jacks in the sound card to use that. I guess where I am lacking clarity is that I believe there is no special speaker hardware for headsets to do "positional" surround. I think it is all simulated- either in the chip in the USB dongle or in your PCI sound card.

The Phillips Bluetooth adapter outputs a "line level" signal meant to act as the input to an amplifier. The Phillips unit will NOT drive speakers directly without the aid of an amplifier. I connect the output of the Phillips unit to the "Aux" input of my surround sound system. Works great! Good luck. John Kerwin

I am running windows xp professional and as Todd states, the software you are running should not matter if you have speaker output jack. Hope you have a speaker jack. You will like these little Creative speakers. Tom

I could no say definitively. For my particular iPod, i have to use the aux input because the dock does not recognize my iPod. You may have to use the aux input without any reading on the display. IF your connections are solid, there should be no hum. Raise the volume level near to max on your Zune to get the best gain on the Yamaha when it is connected.

I have to put the Zune HD live on the adapter as none of the docking inserts will work for the Zune HD, I have trouble sometimes with connection but it always comes through.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.
