Inspire 5.1 5500 decoder failed

Greetings everyone!
The decoder for my Inspire 5500 speakers has failed.
When the decoder is off, the standby power light (red) will go out and the speakers will begin popping about once per second.
When I try to power up the decoder, some of the green indicators will come on momentarily and then go out, as will the standby power light.
The speakers start popping agin.
When I unplug the DIN connector, the popping stops.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Everything appears to be wired correctly.
Thanks in advance for anmy assistance.

u need a sound card that supports 5.1 system...
and yes, u can directly connect ur sub to the audio out ports (front, rear and centre) on ur pc....
motherboard built-in sound card nowadays does support 5.1
u may wanna refer to your motherboard manual or cd for futher instructions
and about the decoder, i dont think u need it...

Error: abc bytecode decoding failed

Currently i am using Flex SDK Version 3.0.0 build 477 and Flex Builder 3
I would like to upgrade to FP 10 inorder to use the feaure fileReference.save();
I have followed http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Targeting+Flash+Player+10 to configure with FP10.
After configuring my project with flashplayer 10, their are some errors while compiling application in both Flex builder and compiler.
ERROR:

Any help would be Thanks full

Did you remove the link to the old playerglobal.swc?
You should have something similar to this in your .actionscriptProperties:

Abc bytecode decoding failed

Flex builder 3 is giving me three 'abc bytecode decoding failed' errors when i open an kind of air project.
I am running windows xp pro sp2, using the 3.3 sdk and flash player 10. I believe this error is caused by flex builder not targeting the correct flash player for the given sdk but I have followed all the directions to make flex builder target flash player 10 and i still cannot resolve it?
I have been able to make flex projects target flash player 10 but not air projects.
Any help would be great as I can't see a way of fixing this?
Regards
Adam

The error must be when you try to execute the AIR app, ActionScript
Bytecode is only executed by the AIR runtume or Flash Player. A
project clean sometimes help.

"Download decoding failed" message - help!

I've been trying to download a 40 MB file and once I've downloaded around 23MB of it, the download stops dead and I get a "Download decoding failed" message in my downloads window. The file works for other people so it must be a problem at my end. I've tried using Firefox as well, same problem. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Can I replace the Inspire 5500 decoder with a DDTS-100

Hi,
All I want to do is replace the decoder that comes with the Inspire 5.1 Digital 5500 set with a DDTS-100, and continue to use the same speakers. Is this possible?
The only thing I can see preventing this is that at the moment the the sub and the decoder have to be connected via a din socket (for control and power), but there is no din input on the DDTS-100. Will this be a problem?
Thanks in advance.

Google is a wonderful tool... Tried it's

Inspire 5.1 5500 won't turn on

I have an old Inspire Digital 5.1 5500 (not the 550) plugged into my Xbox 360.
Last night there was a pop and then the sound slowly died. Now, all i get is the red standby light on the External decoder and when i turn it on, the other lights light up in sequence top to bottom, there's a small pop from the speakers and then it goes back on standby. All cables etc are in ok and i've changed the fuse.
Any ideas? thanks in advance.

Hi, Steve:
5 beeps = memory error.
Remove and reseat the memory.
If the beeping persists then one or more of the modules is bad.
Remove all but one of the chips and test each one.
If the PC boots up normally keep testing until you find the bad apple and replace it.
You should be able to get the memory module(s) replaced under warranty too if they are the original ones that came with the PC.

Audigy 2 ZS plat + Inspire 5.1 5500 probl

Alright, I've read through most of the tutorials/guides/FAQs and I can't seem to find the solution to my problem.
I have a wire running from the digital out on my sound card to the coaxial port on my decoder, everything else is connected as the manual says. I went to the speaker settings window in the creative software, set it to 5. and digital output only(tried with and without this setting). I also made sure the windows control panel was set to 5.. When doing the speaker test in the speaker settings window of the creative software only the front left and right play any sound (I know everything is plugged in because they all play sound when I do the test on the decoder). When I set my decoder to stereo, it plays something from all the speakers but the speaker settings still doesn't recognize the center and back two. When set to Dolby Pro Logic, sound only plays from the front left and right and becomes distorted when certain apps try to play sound. Dolby Digital is not selectable.
In the EAX console I have tried with and without CMSS but it doesn't seem to make a difference either way. I have also tried with SPDIF Passthough and the built-in decoder and once again, neither seem to make a diffrence.
When trying different combinations of wire configurations, I tried plugging the green, black and orange wires from my subwoofer right into the back of my sound card. The speaker test works and all the speakers play sound but the subwoofer doesn't work and the decoder doesn't have control of anything.
Seems to be a software issue to me but I can't pinpoint it or there is some limitation that I don't know about.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.

Could it be that 'find' can't show the file affected because of the error?
That is possible. If windows thinks(1) there is no problem then my guess would be a filename with "uncommon" characters or violating some restriction. If reasonably feasable you could try keeping an eye on the output of dmesg while you use ls to list the contents of the directories on your windata partition, when you try to list the directory with the offending file(s) you should see errors. Then go to windows and rename the files if possible.
You might want to ask about this on the ntfs-3g mailing list, maybe you have caught some bug or corner case, and you might get some tips on how to deal with this.
(1) Windows is (or used to be) idiosyncratic, you have a set of restrictions on filenames, and usually you can't directly create files that violate the restrictions, however some programs may be able to get around those restrictions and create files that you will not be able to deal with via explorer, this might be one of those cases. If I'm not mistaken this has happened to me a few times (when I still used Windows regularly - WinXP days) and at the time checkdisk would say everything was fine but explorer would refuse to rename, move or delete the files. The workaround was to delete/rename the file with the program that created it, in one case it was winrar (the problem that time was a filename too long).

4-pole Minijack-toRCA? (Digitally connect Audigy 2 SZ to Inspire 5500 speakerset)

Hello forum/Creative,
After searching and searching, I'm just confused. And I'm quite an audiophile and I know quite a lot about cable and connections. I still have a problem getting (Dolby) Digital from my Audigy 2 SZ card, to my Creative 5500 (Digital) speakerset. There's a couple "paradoxes" if you will so I hope someone (of Creative) can explain this to me.Because my situation is different than everything I read before.Now the "problem" is that the 5500 digital speakerset uses an external Dolby Digital decoder that is connected to the subwoofer by a DIN-to-DIN cable. Then there are the 3 minijacks (output) that connect from the decoder to the sub. (This also enable volume control per channel via the external decoder/remote) Then there's a coaxial (digital) input that goes from the decoder to any digital out source, which at first was at the coaxial out of my DVD player, which gave the Dolby Digital 5. channel sound as it should. No problem so far.But then I bought an Audigy 2 SZ card for my pc and the problems is that the Digital Out of this card is not a coaxial one, but a minijack output.Strangly however, the 5500 speakerset includes a minijack-to-rca cable, so I can connect the coaxial input on the decoder to the minijack digital out of the Audigy 2 SZ card. Then I got just front L/R channels. I realized the included cable was a 2-pole minijack, with one ground connection and audiostream (Front L/R) What I need is a 4-pole Minijack-to-RCA (. ground 2. Front L/R 3. Rear L/R 4. Sub/Center) , but I dumbfounded so far and I wonder if this cable even exists. After looking in the manuel again and checking the Creative forum and other audiofora, all I can see is a 4-pole minijack-to-DIN (digital din)Here'smy problem with that:st of all my external decoder is connected to the subwoofer via a DIN-to-DIN cable. So if I would get that 4pole Minijack-to-RCA my external decoder becomes nothing more then a nice piece of decoration. Since power from the sub goes to this decoder via the DIN cable (do I wonder if it's a Digital DIN at all)But since this decoder is also used to control volume (per channel) and has the infrared remote receiver + Dynamic Mode setting which can only be set via the remote, I would loose all these functions?I know the Audigy 2 SZ has it's own Dolby Digital (EX), DTS (ES) etc, but I don't want the soundcard output alone and not use the external decoder (again, since this decoder does more than just decode alone).Now a 4-pole Minijack-to-RCA would solve all these problems and I REALLY hope these exists. (Should be possible at least).Currently I have unplugged the 3 minijacks-to-minijacks from the external decoder and plugged them into my Audigy 2 SZ card for Analog Surround. But it doesn't sound good (well at least compared to real Dolby Digital) and via this setup I lost volume control (per channel) functionallity of the external decoder.So please help me out on this. I would really appreciate it.Regards,Felix.

P.S. The 4pole Minijack-to-RCA I mention is a female RCA connector to accept the male-to-male coaxial RCA cable. I also noticed the Audigy 2SZ Quick start manual states to hook up 5. digital speakers to use a 4pole minijack-to-4pole minijack, but this is impossible since there is only a coaxial input and minijack output.So a minijack-to-minijack cable is completely wrong. After (again) checking my Inspire 5500 user's guide, I noticed ONLY THIS manual has the ONLY correct solution to hook up the set. The aformentioned 4pole minijack-to-RCA (female).Creative, why do you supply a useless 2-pole minijack-to-RCA for the digital connection of the Inspire Dolby Digital 5500 speakerset instead of the 4pole one?I mean, you buy the Dolby Digital set to get real Dolby Digital sound, but to get that from your own Audigy (2 SZ) card, you need another cable!! (and when you get it, the other cable will never be used for anything else, since it can only transfer the Front L/R signal!!

I Have had a problem for ages. I have the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Inspire 5. digital 5500.
I have copied the advice I received/didnt recieve from creative.
Best of luck
Dear Martin
Thanks for your reply
I am sorry for the problem you are facing.
To achieve outputs from all the speaker during speaker test, you will need to have an analog connection, or digital DIN connection.
That will be possible if you connect the three line out jacks on your soundcard, to the three audio input (analog jacks->green,black,orange) on your speaker, if it has this connection. Or, you may connect them using Digital DIN, if they have this connection.
If you are using digital connection (coaxial, optical), there will be no way to achieve sound output from all the speakers during 5. speaker test, as they carry stereo signal.

No I do not hear EAX when in Pro-logic mode. I only hear (depending on the game in question)
Half life two: front left-right and centre. NO rears

Hello
Your email was helpful, unfortunately, not for my unit, you see I would
have
connected the Jack leads in by now if the inspire had Jack lead inputs
as
you describe
Please don't think I am being sarcastic, but from reading the
correspondence
below it would seem as if your department is having difficulty
understanding
my problem.
Also it would seem your department doesn't have the necessary technical
information on your very own product, so to help with your dilemma I
have
taken photos of the input/outputs on the Inspire unit.
You will clearly see the inspire has no inputs other than Coaxial and
Optic.
This leaves me back to my last post. I think the solution would be for
me to
purchase the correct processor, which would have come with the original
sound card had I not been a little tight on the money front.
I have attached a photo of the sound card with the processor, I would
love
to buy this processor but find myself unable to locate this product on
your
web site. Would you possibly be able to send me the correct link to this
item so I can buy this Processor Please?

Your soundcard is Audigy 2 ZS
Your speaker is Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500
You will need to have a 3:3 cable(with the color green, black, orange)
to connect your soundcard to your speaker, to achieve the 5. effects
with games.
Below is the connection:
- Connect line out jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Front' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the green color
connection
- Connect line out 2 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Rear' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the black color
connection
- Connect line out 3 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Center/Subwoofer' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the
orange color connection
Once you have done the correct connection, play the game DOOM3.
Ensure you have selected either the EAX or surround option in the game
settings.
Does it work?

You have lost me. Your sound card clearly states that I can have EAX
surround decoding from the sound card I have purchased.
All of the games on your web site claim to give me an environmental
effect
that will blow my mind, hence EAX.
All I have done wrong is NOT buying your decoder that comes with the
sound
card. My mistake.
All I want to do is re-address this issue and buy the correct
decoder/processor.
Can you point me to the correct link on your web site so I can buy the
correct decoder/processor?
As for the PCM out of the above cables, this foxes me as my other
equipment
only use Optical cabling on my Lexicon processor and from that I have DD
7., DTS 7. and meridian 5. lossless.
My issue is more to do with NO EAX from the rear and centre channels
while
in-game.

Thanks for your reply
All commercial digital connection eg. optical or coaxial cable will only
carry PCM stereo signal. If you want to output the signal to a surround
5. with extra EAX environment effects, it will not be possible at all
since it is only restricted to stereo channel signal.
As per current industry limitations, we are bound to follow the standard
one-signal output for all our SPDIF and Optical output jacks. This is
something that is currently shared by all vendors for all products.
Please note that all games are not dolby digital, even they are , it
will require certain motherboard to encode it to dolby digital signal,
which our soundcard does not support.
You can only use analog connections to gain true 5. surround for
gaming..

Dear Martin
Thank you for the reply.
Computer games written with support for 3D audio do not require a Dolby
Digital Interacti've Content Encoder (DICE) to output multichannel sound,
with no exceptions. Sound devices that support the real time encoder
technology from Dolby will simply receive the multichannel wave file
output and encode it in real time to a somewhat modified Dolby Digital
bitstream. Creative does not support the Dolby Digital Interacti've
Content Encoder on any of its sound cards.
The only difference between a Sound Blaster card and an audio card that
has a real time encoder, is that you can make a one-wire, digital
connection from your audio card to your home theater receiver and enjoy
discrete multichannel sound from the game. However there will be a
continuous, slight delay, known as "latency", as the encoder is creating
and transmitting the bitstream, and of course the compression scheme
being used is "lossy" (i.e. not bit-accurate).
If you want to enjoy 3D audio in 3D enabled PC games in multichannel
surround sound with a Sound Blaster card, it is recommended that you
connect the analog outputs of the sound card directly to the analog
inputs of the receiver. This will require 3 cables for 5. surround
sound, one for front right and left, one for rear left and right, and
another one for front center and subwoofer. Though it requires more
cables than a real time encoder system, it will not have any latency
issues. When connecting PC audio to a home theater receiver, Creative's
latest sound cards such as Sound Blaster Audigy, Sound Blaster Audigy 2
are likely to provide higher quality audio than any Dolby Digital real
time encode system available for the PC today.

Hi
One particular game which has "in-game" DD is Farcry; I used this as my
benchmark disc for DD and to push my Nvidia 7800 GTX GPU's (I have tried
it

this
version is ok. I also have ALL of the game patches & updates.
I would like to point out that while playing Doom 3, Half Life 2,Fear,
Colin
McRae rally 04,FIFA 2004,Meddle of honour pacific assault, Rome, Shadow
ops, All these games have EAX HD, which is enabled within the options
menu
"in-game", But I do not get ANY use out of the rear's and I might as
well
listen in stereo.
No, inspire 5500 does not automatically switch while "in-game" when DD
is present as you would expect, but does if it was a Movie, which makes
me
think the DD stream isn't getting to the processor.
I originally thought I could put all this to rest if I could buy the
control
panel that would have come with the Sound card if I had not tried to
save
money, but every time I search your accessories site I get completely
lost,
it really isn't user friendly, the sub-menus are very time consuming and
point you in the wrong direction because they are not categorised as Joe
public would understand
I downloaded your TEST Movies and creative demo player utility, ran it
but
still no EAX HD or DD if that were present.
I want to put this card and Processor into my boys computer (which is
the
same Spec as mine and I will update to the FX series, but I am unwilling
if
I cannot find a logical reason why this set-up cannot work first.
Would it have anything to do with the pins on the Digital out on the

Hi
I am sorry; I should have said the Inspire 5. was model number digital
5500
S/N SW330030026.
The inspire has these connection on the back of the processor
>From top/back of unit
Audio Outputs
Front
Rear
Centre/subwoofer
Audio inputs
Audio line in
Coaxial
Optical
DIN
The Din to a remotely located Subwoofer which has the speaker leads
inputting into it. Plus power.
Attached is the creative view of the controls menu and I have attached
the
invoice I was sent, it shows the lead I was told to fit.
As I said, I can now hear DD5. while within a movie from ALL speakers
BUT
no sound from rears during IN GAME DD5.
I do not use this PC for films only games.
Regards
Martin
If you are having a digital connection, it is normal for only get only
front left/right is you use the speaker test option.
http://us.creative.com/support/kb/article.asp?l=3&sid=4858
Speaker test only outputs from two front speakers?
You mentioned that that you are unable to get any sound from the rear
speakers when playing game right? May i know are you using a digital
connection? May i know what speaker settings have been made under
Creative Speaker settings?
Do get back to me on the above.
Thanks

Detailed Problem Description:
I have the above Sound card.
I also own Inspire 5. amp/processor
I Wanted to save money by connecting above sound
card to amp/processor
Connections on sound card made life very difficult
I contacted Creative for help. you told me to buy
an RCA to mini jack cord which also has other connections, from your
web site, (I tried to find
the product number for you, but your sub-menu
system is so poor I couldn't locate the RCA/mini
3.5 /to phono link for you) this cord connects
directly into the digital in, on the sound card (3.5 Mini jack) to the
coaxial input on the
inspire 5. amp/processor.
I have enabled ALL sp-diff settings and digital in
setting on every program/utility/kitchen sink and all.
I have an SP-Diff wire from DVD burner to creative
sound card, and yes its enabled and digital only
is selected.
I can play a DVD and see the inspire 5.
automatically change from Pro-logic to Dolby
digital when it See's an AC-3 stream.
when I try and play ANY game you say has EAX
,2,3,4 I cannot get any sound from my rear
speakers (see above in Dolby Digital ALL speakers
work correctly)
when I enter the set-up menu within the creative
software you supply with the sound card and select
5. speaker, digital only, test the speakers via
the white noise function, all i hear is left and
right noise. no centre, no rears.
I phoned you tech support line, the boy on the
phone didn't have much of a clue about your
product and I had to tell him what connections sit
on the inspire 5. series amp/processor.
I want to build another PC for my son, I want to
add the FX series sound card and amp, but i am not
willing to buy anything until i feel you have
helped me to solve this problem first.
please can you help, I am at the end of my tether
with this sound card.
kind regards

PDF with Tomcat - failing with isHexDigit conversion

Hi
I've built a small report writer with printed output using Tomcat.
All works fine until a '%' is used in a parameter in the report.
I then get a Tomcat Error
2007/05/22 06:57:36 org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters processParameters
WARNING: Parameters: Character decoding failed. Parameter skipped.
java.io.CharConversionException: isHexDigit
Once that happens all subsequent attempts to print - with our without the wildcard give the same error.
Does anyone know how to trap the contents of the XML passed to Tomcat to see what it's complaining about? Or what APEX is generating?
Thanks
Mike

Vadim,
Report queries and report region use the same generic report layout. However the processing is handled by different engines. The underlying technical problem with your case is that the substitution string #TEXT_ALIGN# is not substituted in all cases for report queries. This usually does not cause any problems, but appears not to work when using Cocoon.
I'll see that we can this resolved with the next version of APEX, however when working with report layouts, you would typically use your own RTF or XSL-FO stylesheets, where this problem would not occur. The option to use the generic report layout is only included so the data can be tested independently from the layout and is not really intended to be used as the actual layout at runtime.
The generic report layout function is mainly designed to be used for report regions.
Regards,
Marc

Subject is not decoded - ISO-8859-1

hi,
we have a problem with a specific mail where the subject is not decoded. all other mails works fine. but when i try to decode the subject of this mail the function MimeUtility.decodeText(subject) returns the cryptic subject which i submitted.
is the mail wrong, or is this a bug? is there is a problem with the mail, is there a workaround?
here is the header of the mail:
Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=DCbertragungsbericht vom 2009-09-23T10:14:39.043 Uhr;
Ticket-ID: Haas166150_2009_09_23_10_14_30_564?=
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Message-ID: <e51cabcc-7e7c-423a-9687-027716c81dce@xxx>
thx,
simone

I can see three reasons this failed:
1) The encoded word is longer than 75 characters (RFC 2047 section 2)
2) The encoded word contains a linebreak (at the ';' without ending the encoded word and starting a new encoded word) (RFC 2047 section 2)
3) The encoded word contains unencoded spaces inside the encoded word (RFC 2047 section 2)
Since MimeUtility fails on both 2 and 3, the decoding fails: In other words, the sender of the mail incorrectly encoded the subject AND incorrectly applied linebreaks inside the header.

XFI and Logitech z-5500 connection for DVD film: analog or co

Hi
I already read a lot of posts here but not found the answer.
My question is: in order to watch DVD movie, which is best connection
for Logitech z-5500 to show true surround sound: Analog or digital by coax?
In other words, we will let XFI decode DD and DTS or make XFI to pass through to
Z-5500 to decode itself?
And why?
many thanks and best regard.

Either way will work, but the problem with using the X-Fi as the decoder is that in order to get the correct LFE level, you must use the +5 dB LFE boost; however, this can only be activated when bass redirection is switched on. Since the Z-5500 system has its own bass management, using two crossovers spoils with the linearity of the low frequency region. So for that reason, I tend to use the Z-5500 decoder. It would be nice if Creative could separate the LFE boost from bass redirection in the next drivers, but I guess that won't happen.

Inspire 5.1 5500 decoder failed
