Cambridge SoundWorks MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D

Hol tengo este sistema de altavoces y queria saber si puedo ampliar mi sistema al mismo modelo del 5.1 osea comprar los 3 altavoces que me falta.
Tambien queria saber si teneis recambios para las bases de los altavoces ya que una la tengo en mal estado y no se sujeta correctamente a la pared
Saludos

This seems to be common amongst creative speaker sets.
I've experienced the same issue (poor build quality on the one thing that'll be used the most) with my Inspire T5900 and T7900 sets.
I don't understand why the controller needs each channel routed through it (or so it seems), and why the replacement part seems impossible to come by - coupled with a year warranty.
Defective By Design imho.
My next set of PC speakers will be Logitech if I can't obtain spares or a datasheet to make my own.

Hi i'm looking for 2 x 5 metre speaker cables for the Cambridge soundworks megaworks THX 5.1 550 has anyone got any ideas on where to get them,have check creative shop on creative web site.thanks

Also, one of the wires has packed up and I cant find any on creative's website... It is speaker to sub lead, plugs into sub with a Jack and splits into 2 different wires (black and red) to make 2 separate connections to the back of the speaker. Anyone know where they are sold (dont really fancy getting my wallet raped by PC World)?

Megaworks THX 2.1 250D with Playstaion 3

Hi guys
I'm thinking of buying a PS3 (the 40Gb version) and running it on my monitor and external speaker system.
My speaker setup is the "Cambridge Soundworks Megaworks THX 2.1 250D" which has a Digital SPDIF (RCA) input, where as the PS3 outputs in Optical TOSLINK.
I'm quite the noob when it comes to this kind of stuff so i'd like to know if this setup would work and what i would need to buy in-order to get it working.
Many many thanks!

el_salvad,
If headset works fine with the soundcard, it sounds like the speaker is faulty. Have you try testing the speaker on another audio source or your other computer that's loaded with the Sound Blaster Live card.

Hello,sorry for my bad english - I'm only Czech boy!
Can you tell why Cambridge SoundWorks MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D aren't in products on creative.com?
I wanted to buy them in Czech Republic, but suppliers don't have confirmed supplies from Creative Labs!Somebody told me creative maybe won't produce it anymore!Is it true, really Creative won't produce Cambridge SoundWorks MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D?Thanks bye

newtothis,
Yes you're correct. You can/should hook it via the Headphone jack from your laptop audio device.

Creative MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D

I have recently purchased a Creative MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D but when I connected it to a computer I had heard a hisss noise from the satellites. I have also creative sound blaster live 24bit. I want to get rid of that noise which is very anoing so please help.

MrHenderson , hissing from speakers is coming only when they are turned ON and no matter how u set volume , bass , treble or push MUTE button hissing is always there with the same intensity.When i connect headphones to speakers remote control hiss is gone (in headphones).Also i connect each individual satellite speaker to portable CD player and there`s no sign of a hiss , just like it`s supposed to be. I agree that "normal" hissing is presented in every audio system but u can hear it only when your ear is very close to speaker.Hissing coming from MegaWorks i can hear from 10 meters , now imagine sitting in front of a computer.Like i said , my first set of MegaWorks didn`t have that hissing at all , just normal hiss which u can`t hear sitting in front of a computer.First set was OK (until they burned) and i paid for them 290$ , when i get replacement for new set price was 90$!That is quite significant price drop which leads me to conclusion that CREATIVE start using cheaper meterials and components for building MegaWorks 250D. I think the first series of MegaWorks 250D was better quality.Harvey got a second set with the same hissing problem , that just confirms it. Harvey, i agree with everything you said. MrHenderson i agree about that running-in but i think this is reserved for Hi-Fi systems over .1000$ price.My first MegaWorks 250D sounded the same from the first day.Sometimes i was listening music with volume set to MAX and didn`t have any problems. I was always cautioned to not add to much bass which will cause distortion because we all now how loud this speakers can play.After 0- months of use they burned out. But when it comes to for some reason amplifier overload or overheating souldnt the amplifier have some kinda overload-overheating protection?
Now , all i need is another replacement with new set of MegaWorks 250D with the same hissing problem like Harvey!

Sony TV + Creative Soundworks Megaworks 250D 2.1 THX Speakers = HUM

I have a Sony KV29-LS60 TV. This TV has an audio out. When I have the TV connected to my Creative Soundworks Megaworks 250D 2.1 THX speakers, i can hear the sound, but there is also a loud hum coming from the speakers. When i connect my DVD player to the speakers with the same wires, there is no hum. Thus the wires are ok i think. When i unplug the antenna cable the hum remains. So the antenna cant be blamed too.
Can anybody think of a solution to this problem ?

I suspect your tv audio out grounding is at fault or even poor solder joint at the RCA to circuit board.

Megaworks THX 250D - problem with SPDIF?

Hello everybody, I hope someone can shed some light on a strange phenomenon I'm experiencing with my Megaworks THX 250D speaker system. When connected to my computer using SPDIF, the speakers produce a short, loud "cracking" sound everytime any audio playback is started. After that everything works just fine, but when you're clicking through some folders in your file explorer, every click generates a windows system sound and thereby a loud "crack".When I use the normal analog audio jack, everything works as expected. My computer is based on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 mainboard (Rev .) which has a Realtek audio chipset onboard (Realtek ALC889A codec, High Definition Audio). The latest Realtek driver is installed (Version 6.0..5497). Any idea would be appreciated.

The Megaworks THX 250Ds don't support Dolby Digital input. They're extremely good analogue speakers. The SPDIF output mode is for receviers or speakers which support compressed (lossy) audio decoding.
There would be no point in using SPDIF unless you were connecting to a home theatre receiver or a speaker system with digital input.
What you're experiencing is normal for analogue speakers. As for quality improvements with digital connections, that's debatable though it does depend on your soundcard.

Note that it can help if you search for "Cambridge MegaWorks 650" as well as "Creative MegaWorks 650". The speakers are based off of mini-HT speakers manufactured by Cambridge SoundWorks.
Cambridge SoundWorks does not have the MegaWorks 650 as they have been discontinued for the GigaWorks.

Creative MegaWorks THX 6.1 650 and PS3

Cambridge Soundworks or Creati

Just a thought, do you prefer speakers based on Cambridge Soundworks or Creative designed?
From what i hear, the Megaworks and the S750 are Cambridge and the Gigaworks G500 is one hundred percent Creative.

Well, actually it's none of those...
The subwoofer looks different, like this: http://www.terrabits.org/Files/P930000.JPG
The speaker look like the FPS1000 ones, like this: http://www.terrabits.org/Files/P9300002.JPG
But most importantly, the volumecontrol, and especially the conector that goes into the subwoofer, look like this:

Hope that helps.

Soundworks Megaworks 550 SoundControl

Hi...
I have the Creatrive Soundworks Megaworks 550 5.1 THX Speaker System.
The pressure point of the volume control buttons of the soundcontroller are defect. When i pushed it, there is no *click* and it goes louder and louder and louder...
Both buttons (volume up and down9 are defect. What can i do, to have a normal Soundcontroller?
Please help me!
Thx a lot!
Nice greetz

If you still have warranty, just call the tech support, if you don't, try opening the soundcontrol box, and lubricate the two microswitches with a little wd-40 or something like that. that might work.

Connecting Cambridge Soundworks speakers to a new Dell 4700

New system: Dell 4700. Soundcard is a Soundblaster Live! 24 bit. Stereo outputs are confirmed to work because my headphones pick up sound (in the headphone jack, as well as the stereo outputs). Creative audio software.
Old speakers: Cambridge Soundworks, 2 small cube speakers and a subwoofer with a dedicated power supply. About 3 years old. System worked like a charm (and still does) in my old computer.
My new computer sound outputs are just fine. My old speakers work fine. But the two together aren't working. I've been troubleshooting all evening. Dell tech support was also clueless. Anyone able to offer some advice from the audio side of things?
Thanks!

Bmsavage,
There are a couple things to check. First off make sure any headphones in the front of the computer are unplugged (this can disable the rear outputs).
Now try connecting like this:
1) Connect the speaker side of your volume control to the line in on the subwoofer.
2) Connect the source side of your volume control to the Green Jack on the Live! 24bit
3) Insure that the volume on the control is turned up and the speakers are powered up and test sound

Megaworks THX 550 not working...someone help?

I have the megaworks thx 550 system. never had a problem until the other day when i had it on and it "popped" and stopped working, the power light started blinking for a bit but then it just stopped all together. won't even turn on now, is this something i have to get fixed or am i just S.O.L.

Make sure the settings your email provider needs are correctly set up in Mail. The server names, ports, etc., have to be set up correctly. Usually the info will be online. If you look in their support area, you may even find specific instructions for setting up Mac Mail.
Are you saying you're using Outlook as well as Mail? The "outlook account" comment is a little confusing.
