Audigy 1 / Inspire 5300: Right front speaker is

Hallo
Tried the search function but didn't find something similar.
I noticed that I have an issue with the right front channel on my good old Audigy . After some testing (switching speakers) I realised that the speaker works just fine. When I play, for example, music in Winamp I hear music coming out of all speakers which is good.
However, when I execute Creative's speaker testing program I hear nothing coming out of the front right speaker. Also when playing a game (in my case Half Life 2) I hear nothing coming out of the front right speaker.
Speaker problem? Doubt so... cause music plays just fine in Winamp.
Could it be a card problem? If so, how come Winamp plays music fine through that channel?
I haven't tried reinstalling the drivers though because I have no access to the Internet until october 27. I will redownload the driver from my workplace (which I'm also posting at the moment) burn it on cd and try that. Could that help?
If not, would a new card help? Audigy 2 isn't really expensi've anymore. Could it also be something in the bass speaker? Or is that out of the question?
Thanks in advance.

I think MP3 or Audio CDs or DVD Mpeg sound recordings will not produce any multichannel sounds unless 2.1. If you play these kind of cds only front left and front right (incld woofer) will produce sounds. To get all the channel worked, you need to play a 5.1 Dolby Digital DVD. Please try this out and reply

Vista + SB Audigy + Inspire 5300 5.1 Analog Speakers = Only 2.1 - HELP!!!

I have updated the driver for my Sound Blaster Audigy for Vista but I can't change the speakers to 5.1, it jumps back to 2/2.1.
I can't understand what the problem is? It used to work fine under WinXP.
Connections are fine and correct. I need some advice, please help!

DevNull7,
You may need to enable certain settings within your sound card to upmix the Stereo to 5.1. Check with your sound card support for further information. They should be able to assit you on this.

Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 Problems - Only Two Speakers Work 100%

I recently purchased the Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 speaker system for my home computer, thinking that a low-end setup would work fine until I gathered the resources to trade them in for something better. Upon hooking them up though I find that they do not work as I was led to believe. The front two corner speakers and subwoofer work fine, just as they would if they were a 2.1 setup, however the center and back speakers make no noise. I know I have them hooked up correctly as I can go into my onboard soundcard?s setup program and test them individually, but in actually practice they do nothing. Not with games or movies that are supposedly 5.1 enabled.
I'm clueless as to what the problem may be. Is it that I need a Creative brand soundcard, that may Abit motherboard and it'ss built-in soundcard are unable to establish the proper frequencies or whatnot? Perhaps I do not have the appropriate surround sound drivers installed? Any help would be vastly appreciated.

HT204291 I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on

I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on the left. When I watch Cable Television (not using the Apple TV), all 3 channels work fine so I know that the speaker connections are fine.

I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using. The original one conflicted with my neighbor. After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished. Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi). I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another). :-)

Creative Inspire T5900 Problem (Front Center Speaker)

China will grow larger

Jep,
Then what you will want to do is contact support directly and tell them what you have found about the speakers (front speaker out not working properly). They should arrange an RMA with you so you can send it in for repair/replacement. Here are their contact pages:

No sound from rear or center of Inspire 5300 speakers

I have an Audigy 2 Platinum card and an Inspire 5300 speaker system. All was well until a few days when sound only came from the two front speakers. The creative speaker settings tool no longer shows any speaker settings to choose from. Windows allows me to choose 5.1 setting, but of course it doesn't work. I re-installed the latest drivers and media go! software but problem persisits. I ran the diagnostic tool and I received the following error: "NTWriteWordConfig-CONFIG_READWORD". Could this be the cause of my problem, and if so, how can I fix it's Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i have a similar problem
in my case the problem is with the front c/sub,i have no output on the sub.
it would be surely great if someone could throw a look at this and help out...

Cant hear rear or front speak

Ok i've had this problem for some time now. I thought my old sound card was fried because i couldnt hear anything behind me in games and everytime i would use a sound speaker test, the front right and left speaker would work but the rear ones and the one in the very front wouldn't. Ive tried fixing it myself by replacing the sound card with the Sound blaster Audigy SE and messing with the control panel setting and souncard setting but i cannot seem to get it to work. I have reformatted my computer so i dont have my old soundcard drivers on here. Does anyone else have a similar problem or know anything to help me?

$? bump again, its been a couple of months, anyone have any idea? Im really frustrated with this and just about to buy a new card thats not creative because I haven't had any support from them so far at all. Only additional information i have is I dont have this problem when i play with it under headphones instead of the other choices, I get very bad quality though when you play with the headphones option on 5. speakers.
?Things i have tried:
*Drivers
*Messing around with audio cords
*Toggled with ALL the audio options from creative and windows and have tried everything
*CMSS 3D didnt work
Yet the rear speakers and front speaker still doesnt work

X-Fi Extrememusic center,front speaker prob

So I just got my X-Fi Extrememusic and installed the newest driver for it from creative's website. I didn't use the CD that came with it becouse it basicly just froze when i started it up(I'm using Vista 32bit) My computer found the sound card and everything went well, so far.
So i had the usuall RC97 soundcard before were all the speakers worked(5. system)
And yes, i uninstalled the drivers for the RC97 card before i installed the vista driver for the X-fi card.
But now that I've installed my new audio card the only speakers that seems to work is the rear when I play music. Even tho, when i test it at the speaker setup in vista the rear and the front speaker are making sound. The center and the sub tho, is not making any sound when i test them. Rare thing is tho, that the sub is working when i play music. The front is not tho.
Here comes the very odd part, when i change it to game mode, all the speakers are making sound on the sound setup in vista, not in the media players tho. But when i switch it to entertainment mode the sub and center is not making any sound on the sound setup.
Problem is tho, simply put, only speakers currently working are the rear and the bass.
How do i fix this? I've checked the set-up and cables, everything is right.

I had the same problem before downloading a newer version of the creative control launcher. I was told to download the newer version in the creative sound blaster downloads menu. Choose your sound card then choose download application. In the applications menu choose creative control launcher and it will un-install the older version and re-install the newer one. This was my fix but it seems somethings work for some and not for others so keep posting.

How do you Turn off the front Speaker

Hi everyone,
I hope this isn't too much of a stupid question since the answer is probably very simple, but I just cant seem to figure it out...
Does anyone know how to turn the music coming from the front speaker in the Mac Pro?
Any advice is appreciated,
Thanks

Thank you everyone, unfortunately I can't find the right setting under the control panel
Here's a strange variation to this that I'm wondering
if anybody else has seen.
I plugged in some analog speakers via the line-out in
the back and set the output to the line-out.
Everything goes thru these speakers EXCEPT when I
play a quicktime movie. That is, double-click a QT
movie and it opens (although in the Finder, not
Quicktime Player) and the sound comes out the front
speaker -- which should only get the system sounds
(as I have it set in the sound preferences).
Anybody else see this strangeness?

Subwoofer of Inspire 5300 very weak compared to the one of the 2400

Hi,
my Inspire 5300 subwoofer sounds very weak compared to the subwoofer of the Inspire 2400. Is this normal?

Does the speaker have Bass knob on the volume control? If it does then perhaps you could try adjusting that.
Not on the Volume Control but at the back. The bass is on the maximum...

Rear sound goes to front speaker with DDL/DTS Connect (Xfi Platinum)

DRear sound goes to front speaker with DDL/DTS Connect (Xfi Platinum)T Hey there,
I just installed the newest modded driver from [url="http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/X-Fi-Auzen-2-20-0002-0-RC4-2-dated-5th-November-2009/td-p/540790">here[/url] and now I have the problem that when using DDL/DTS Connect (yes I have it activated!): the rear left channel gets output on my front left speaker, and the rear right goes to front right. My externaldecoder is correctly identifying the output stream as DD/DTS and the front speaker and subwoofer works fine. Also when using my Xbox 360 the sounds correctly get to the rear speakers, so this is likely not a problem of my decoder.
Anyone had a similar problem to this? Any idea why this happens?
My system:
Windows 7 x64
Intel Core2Quad Q6600
4 GB RAM
nVidia Geforce 9800 GTX+

H I noticed this doesn't just happen with DDL/DTS Connect. The same behaviour happens when I connect my headphones to the plugs on the back of my computer. The rear plugs don't output anything, while the front plugs have "double" output.
I tried all kinds of different drivers, always removing the previous ones and restarting before trying a new one. Right now I'm with the official 2.8.003 X-Fi driver.
Please, somebody help!

Special extension cable for one front speaker of T6100 System

Hello,
i`ve bought an T600 5.1 speaker system recently.
Because i would like to use it as a surround system in my room (about 5x3 metres) i mounted it on the wall.
Now i`ve the problem that ALL cables are far to short (also the front speaker cables) to attach them to the subwoofer (without extension i would have to put the subwoofer on the desk to connect one front box correctly).
But the real problem is that one front speaker uses a different cable than the other one`s (a proprietary Creative cable, it has 9 pins and looks like PS/2 but is different) and i don`t know where to get it from because in normal shops you won`t get it.
The other boxes use a cinch cable so i know where to get them from.
I`ve already contacted Creative but they say that they are not able to send me such a cable because it`s not available for them as replacement and also not in their store.
I`ve also seen another thread here like this one but the problem hasn`t been solved there.
It would be very great if you can help me !
Thank you very much !
Greetings,
Thomas

I have been emailing Creative about this issue (as I have been experiencing the same problem) for the last 3 weeks, and each time I got a response I was given a useless non-answer, or they would use it as an opportunity to plug their own products, or I was pointed towards paying for their customer service line. I became brain-meltingly irritated with this and resigned to calling the helpline number, but the telephone number provided on the website is about 400 digits long and looks like it's got an international dialling code in front of it- and it's not one I'm familiar with. I tried omitting individual digits of it, or sets of digits with every combination I could think of, but the phone kept failing to recognise it as a number. Is it that hard to post a normal-looking telephone number on a website so idiots like me don't want to set fire to themselves in fits of angered frustration?
I can't find anything on the internet about this and I'm amazed that more people don't seem to have this problem - the Digital Din connector & lead for the front-right speaker is far too short and after 3 weeks of trying to squeeze an answer out of creative, they finally informed me that they don't stock them and that 'it might be sold in
electrical store but it may or may not work.'
Cheers.

15" Macbook Pro right front side does not sit flat on the table.

My 15" stock mbp's right front side doesn't sit on the table flat when the screen is lifted up. This is at the front corner of the optical drive. The bumper does not sit level. I have put it on the piece of glass just to make sure. It sits fine closed, but un-even when opened. Maybe the hinge is over torqued causing it to rise? I just got this from the apple store as a replacement for my first that had a bad screen 2 days ago. It's annoying for a 2000.00 dollar machine to have this issue. I took it back and they said it's in spec and that they will not let me do an exchange. Another one of their floor display MBP's had the same issue. The genius said he saw the issue but he would not to an exchange. There are two other apple stores in my area, is it worth a shot? This new second week of January build has a way better screen than the second week of December build. The coating on the screen is somewhat less and it has a better viewing angle. Other than the above issue, the laptop is fine. Is there any fix for this issue? I have read other people having the same problem. I frustrated because as a longtime apple supporter, I can't get get one out of the box that's right. Any help would be appreciated.
Chris

Thanks for the response. I went to the second Apple store and got the same response. It's a millimeter out off. He said that it was in spec. He said it's not perfect but it's not enough to get a replacement. So I may be over doing it here but I feel for a 2000.00 dollar machine, this should not be. It's small defect in the manufacturing process but it is one, none the less. Apple should take a zero manufacturing defect policy if a customer asks for a replacement machine. I think if it's not done right, than it should be fixed or replaced. Hey, I'll probably add some plastic to the foot that's off or I may open the thing up and bend it back to being perfect and fix this small defect but I think Apple should replace it. I have heard other having this problem and I have seen macbook pros in the store with this issue and they say it is within spec. I'll fix the issue that should have never left the factory myself. Anyway, I'll try adding more rubber to the foot.
