Audigy 2 ZS and inspire P5800 probl

Hi i just got both of these this year, and i am having trouble watching movies in Dolby or DTS. I can only hear the front 3 channels in Dolby, and no sound in DTS. I have everything plugged in right, and during the speaker tests every channel is audible and working properly. Thanks to anyone who can help me!

speedking,
Ensure that the DTS decoder have been enabled for the sound card through Control Panel -> AudioHQ -> Device Control -> Decoder.
Also ensure that the DVD playback software have been set to SPDIF Passthrough or similar option.

  • Audigy 2 ZS and inspire T7700 no 7.1 with mov

    Hello. Maybe you can help me:
    I was trying to watch Episode one (with Dolby sourround EX) with power DVD 6 an Windvd 6 plat but i'm having problems with my 8 channel output because when i start the THX optimizer, the sound that is supoused to be heard on my side speakers, comes from the rear speakers and the sound from channels 6 & 7 (Rear center) its also coming from those speakers. This Failure also happens with the Windvd Channel test: side speakers doesn't work and in power DVD 6, CLMEI II technology does not work with side speakers. The only way to get sound from my side speakers is with CMMS.
    The tests for the THX console for audigy 2 complete succesfully altough it keeps me saying that my side speaker and sub aren't wired correctly (polarization test). The channel and noise testing goes ok besides that.
    This problem is exclusi've to DVD watching beacause with EAX HD 3.0 or 4.0 games, i'm not having any problem.
    is Dolby digital EX in episode really works with 7. configurations (region 4)?
    How do i need to configure this players to work with the installed decoders?
    Are my speaker set defecti've?
    Can i buy some kind of monster cable to imrpove my sound?
    It's that all right that the sound from 5. tracks (DD or DTS) is played from the front and rear speaker and not in the side ones?
    Note:
    The supoused wiring problems repeats itself even if i change the connector of the the side speakers with the rear ones (that are soppoused to work fine). That means (i think) this problem isn't caused by the speakers wiring (i think i made it ok) could it be that the 7. cable is deffecti've?
    What to do? Please Help me
    Creative Staff: where i can go to check this on Mexico city? is there any sopport center where i can go and get some help?
    My config:
    Audigy 2 ZS and Creative inspire 7. T7700

    My guess is that your PowerDVD and WinDVD versions don't have ES support and you're using the programs to decode. This might be the case if you are configuring the programs for multiple speakers. If you are, try configuring them for SPDIF output, then make sure the soundcard is configured to decode AC3/DTS (it probably is). Does that help?

  • Audigy 2 ZS and Inspire T7900 Serious Problems!

    Hey Guys I'am a guy from germany and I have serious problems with my speaker system!

    when i connect 2.0 speakers from my brother to the green plug the same happens!!
    What's going on here?!! is that a BUG?
    please help
    grettz Kai

    It sounds like the soundcard drivers aren't installed properly or aren't being properly configuring the speaker settings.
    Try changing to 2.0/2.1 and 4.0/4.1 and see if those modes work with the speakers connected as they are. If they do then 'tis a software problem and uninstalling and reinstalling the Audigy drivers should fix it (hopefully).

  • Ddts-100 and inspire p5800

    are the creative inspire p5800 speaker system compatible with the ddts-100 decoder?
    Is the decoder connectable to the K|i|s|s dp-1000 DVD Player?

    Gr33nC0d3r,
    Yes, the speaker is compatible with the DDTS-100 decoder. Also, you should be able to connect to the decoder without problems since the decoder have coaxial/optical input which most DVD player should have. What type of output connector does your DVD player have?

    Disconnect the grey audio cable from the speaker subwoofer and grab a piece of 3.5mm minijack stereo cable. Connect one end of the stereo cable to the audio port on the speaker that you have just disconnected and the other end to your onboard audio side audio jack.

  • Audigy Platinum Ex and Inspire Digital 5500 Speak

    Having li'ved with my old Cambridge speakers now for about 3 years years I have recently noticed a sound similar to a distant rumble of thunder on the speakers, the longer they are left on the lounder and more frequent the rumble becomes. So, as they are getting on a bit I have decided to invest in a new set of speakers - Creative Inspire Digital 5500's, but they have yet to arri've.
    Have I made a mistake in ordering these speakers? I have read several threads that intimate there may be a number of problems/incompatibility issues.
    From what I can gather I either have to plug the speakers directly into the Audigy card outputs to retain the software advantages (5. speakers, base, treble and EAX) and then lose the manual ability to control the volume from the supplied Inspire Amp/mixer OR plug the speakers into the Amp/mixer and lose the software control.
    My main use for the speakers is listening to music, not really interested in Dolby output or watching DVDs, screen and study too small, but I do occasionally watch a film or TV episode on the PC.
    If anyone can either confirm or deny my percieved error in ordering these speakers it would be most appreciated.
    Dave McCreath

    Hi All
    Answering my own question for others to find should they have any qualms.
    New speakers arri'ved and installed. Connected to PC via coaxial input and work fine on both stereo (front left and right speakers only) and Dolby Pro Logic (all speakers - WOW!!).
    Using Audio HQ, supplied with my Audigy software, I can test the speakers but only the front right and left work with the test. However, all work fine with the speaker test from the inspire 5500 remote - so verdict:
    I am impressed with the quality, easy set up and sound manipulation. EAX also works fine!

  • Audigy 2 nx and inspire 5

    hello
    i have just got audigy 2 nx card and i have inspire 5700 digital speakers.Please tell me how can i connect audigy 2 nx to the speakers.Nx card doesnot have digital out connector for the digital din.Only options are the analog,s/pdif outand optical out on nx card, no s/pdif and optical cables are provided with the card.For analog the decoder of the speaker set has only two option i,e rear and front (no center/subwoofer option).So should i use optical out option ?
    Another question is that many ppl are saying that audigy 2 nx card is a fraud and a failure and sudigy 2 zs is far better, is it true ?

    Any idea?
    Audigy 2 NX supports 6. sound. So i should hear audio on my rear center when i'm testing speakers under speaker settings (channel and noise).

  • No audio in Windows 7 64bit with Audigy 4 Pro and Inspire 7.1 speakers

    Hi, this is my first post in this forum. This issue is killing me?
    Configuration:
    Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz
    DDR3 600Mhz PC2800 6GB Corsair XMS3 Classic CL9 Skt366
    Samsung TB HD03SJ 7200rpm 32MB Spinpoint F3
    Mobo ASUS 366 P6T SE
    New Windows 7 installation, no upgrade, so everything?s new. Realtek HD integrated audio chipset works fine, so the speakers are ok. Obviously I want my 2005 Audigy 4 back, especially for its external box.
    I can't get any audio out of my speakers, zero, nothing, nada. Windows 7 recognizes it and if I run the control panel?s tests the equalizer shows that music is playing but still I won?t ear a single note.
    I tried everything:
    -I checked Windows mixer, the output was correct and no ?mute? was selected, no SPDIF, no optical etc etc
    -I deactivated the Realtek
    -I tried to put the Audigy in different PCI slots?
    -I tried the latest Creative drivers?
    -I tried unofficial drivers?
    What should I do now?
    Maybe I could try:
    -Updating the mobo bios. I don?t really want to do it unless it'ss absolutely necessary. My mobo is quite new anyway and from its bios updates I can't see nothing related to pci slots or audio issues.
    -Playing around with the drivers: maybe I?m wrong, but I?suspect that, while installing creative drivers, every time I restart the system Windows 7 re-check the audio card and puts its Creative Audigy WDM? driver. I?m not too sure about this: from Windows device manager it seems that the drivers are updated and running.
    Any ideas?

    JProblem solved.
    Apparently there was a clash between Windows 7 driver (?) and the one from Creative.
    I had to use a specific software in order?to delete creative drivers and software.
    After the erase of every piece of junk I could install creative official drivers.
    Audio playback is fine, still I have s?to test recording...

  • Inspire p5800 - center speaker doesnt work

    hi there...
    i got a little problem... i have SB audigy 2 and inspire p5800...
    I set i up and the center speaker doesnt work at all.. no madder what i do.. i can hear the center speaker snear or something.. but i cant hear any music from it at all...
    If i try calibrate the 5.1 the center speaker makes sound like it was the subwoofer... any solution for this? i checked the cables and they are in the right places..
    hope ya can help
    Jones

    Hm, that is certainly odd......make sure the jack that goes from the subwoofer to your sound card is in the correct spot.
    Not sure but you may have 3 wires going to your soundcard - refer to the user manual for the correct order.
    If you are using digital - well then - I don't have a clue unless you hooked that digital cable to the wrong place on the soundcard as well.
    Good luck.

  • Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Speakers Only the subwoofer and front 2 speakers work HELP!!

    Hello,
    I have got the "Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Speakers." I have connected all the speakers to the subwoofer and plugged my Creative Zen Vision : M into the AUX socket on the back of the subwoofer using a jack to jack cable. When i play music only the subwoofer and the front right and left speakers work is there anything i can do to change this? (I have got no Computer involved)
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Chris.

    Hi all do you have any idea to solve my problem?
    Currently, I'm using the P5800. My problem is sub can't working. I fix together with SB24Bit External sound card.Previously is working. I'm very proud with the sound,after I decrease the master volume and bass level volume my sub suddenly quit.what happened actually?
    -Is that mean I need to change the sub speaker or the coil inside the magnet core is burned?
    -or maybe my component circuit like ic,capacitor,diode burned?
    If I plug n unplug the power to the sub,I can heard that 'bump'. Is that mean my circuit in good condition or maybe the charge and discharge for capacitor?
    Please answer me...
    Thank You

  • Asus A8N-E onboard Realtek AC97 and Creative Inspire P5800's

    I am attempting to connect some creative inspire p5800 speakers to the realtek AC97 audio on my A8N-E. But when I run the connector sensing it senses the jack i have plugged into the lime/green socket as stereo line in. In the speaker configuration the lime/green socket is identified as Front speaker out. The jack at the other end of the lead is plugged into the correct socket on the subwoofer. The rear and center speakers work fine.Any ideas would be greatly appreciatedThanks

    well there jason, since you asked, there are some of us who have the P7800 where there are four plugs on the side of the speakers and only three plugs on the computer side with asus mother board needing four. The only way around it is to disconnect the grey plug which is the bass and side speakers and bootleg to the bass which isn't how it is supposed to work.

  • Problem with Rear Speakers (Inspire P5800)

    Hi,
    I have bought the Inspire P5800 Sound System but I have a problem. When I do a soundtest with the driver software all speakers work but when I want to listen to music with Musicmatch Jukebox I don't get any sound on the rear speakers. I have on board AC97 sound on a Gigabyte K8NS motherboard.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks!
    robertthronhill

    robertthronhill,
    That's normal as music are mostly in stereo and that's 2 channel only. Creative sound card have CMSS feature that upmix stereo to surround soundfield but since you are using onboard audio, you will have to check with your mainboard manufacturer if those audio card have similar feature also.
