Can i run Megaworks THX 550 5.1 speakers in 2.1 mode???

Can i run Megaworks THX 550 5.1 speakers with only 2 satelites plugged in (in 2.1 mode) without damaging the amplifier etc?
the reason being is when i have the speakers in my study i cant run the cables for a 5.1 setup...
thanks...

It is supposed to work that way - stereo sound (mp3's, CD's) will be played in 2 speakers unless CMSS is activated.
My guess is that you music player that you was using was having an add-on that did provide 5. emulation from a stereo source independent of Creative drivers. And now you forgot to install that add-on (depending what you was using before there are many options).
Anyway the drivers alone are acting properly.

  • 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.

  • Reliability of Megaworks THX 550 Compared to Gigaworks S750

    Due to some issues that I have had with the purchase of the Megaworks 5.1 speakers, particularly the connectivity between the X-FI Elite Pro console & the Megaworks subwoofer, I have come to a final agreement with CL to replace the subwoofer with the subwoofer from the S750, plus receive an additional two satelite speakers.
    The advantage of this is that while it will not solve my connectivity issue, it will give me the 7.1 sound suround that I do not have by using the Megaworks THX 550 (the S750 is no longer available in Australia so I couldn't buy it in the begining) . That my satelite speakers will remain part of the old 5.1 system is said not to be an issue.
    However, after reviewing the psots, I a wondering if I am making the right choice? I haven't heard of too many problems with the Megaworks subwoofer stop working, but the S750 seems prone to it.
    SO I am just curious as to people's views
    Thanks

    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.

  • Can't run Ableton Live 8 as slave with Logic 9 in 64bit (Melodyne error)

    Hi,
    Just downloaded Melodyne Editor 2.01 and installed on Mac Book Pro and iMac. I loaded Logic 9 in 64bit and then Ableton Live 8 as a slave. I was met with the following message:
    An error has occurred while opening “Melodyne singletrack” via ReWire. It is probably already in use. In order to run this program as a ReWire slave application, you will have to launch Live first.
    This stops Live from working as a slave. This does not happen when Logic in launched in 32bit mode and everything works normally. The same thing is happening on both my Mac Book Pro and iMac.
    Can I run Live 8 as a slave with Logic in 64bit mode? If so can anyone suggest a work around or solution please. I tried to search but couldn't find what I was looking for.
    Thanks in advance, apologies if its a daft question.
    SM.
    Logic 9 (latest version)
    Live 8 (latest version)

    Do you actually have Rewire installed?
    If you are on an Intel machine, then you're running Logic intel-native but Live 4 PPC-emulated - you should really upgrade to a version of Live that works natively on your Intel Mac.
    This maybe why Logic can't see Live, depending on how Rewire handles this.

  • Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server?

    Hi All,
    Can we run oracle Forms 5 Application with 10G in Client/Server
    Mode?
    Regards
    Gaurav

    In theory you can run it 2 tier - which means that you have the client (the machine the user is sitting at) being the same machine in which the forms application server is running. So yes. But specifically, we don't support a client server runtime anymore. 6i was the last version.
    With 10g you will be running through a browser.

  • MegaWorks THX 5.1 550 QUESTION

    Can somone tell me a little bit about the MegaWorks THX 5.1 550 speaker system? Im just curious how well do they sound. And if the bass rattles the floor boards?
    Message Edited by surfmonkey on 05-06-2006 10:38 PM

    I have had this speaker system for 3 years. All I can say is that I have totally enjoyed the system. The highs are crisp, but I would not say the base is clear and thumping. It does suffer from some muffling depending on the sound. You can always tweak settings to your liking. I currently have an issue with the fuse blowing on the powered sub. Trying to figure this one out. If you can find a system on the cheap, I would buy it.
    Good luck.

  • Replacement speaker cables for Cambridge soundworks megaworks THX 5.1 550

    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)?
    Cheers

  • 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!

  • 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.

    I'm not sure but since it's saying there's a library issue, you could try running:

    Failing that you could try a:

    # pacman -Syu slim
    I tried both "ldconfig" and "pacman -XXX", but the problem is still there.
    Maybe I need use another way to recompile slim in my machine.
    But I have no time to test it now, I will try it another day.

    Just as a preventative measure try running Disk Utility in the Utilities Folder inside the Applications Folder. Run Repair Disk Permissions on the whole hard drive.
    According to this disuccsion group posting on MacRumours.com, Error -50 is a permissions error and repairing permissions may be enough to get you going again:

    ok, thanks for your reply ! I run this code in the Flex builder 3!and the Ball class and the Chain class are all in the same AS project!
      and i changed the ball.pv property as public in the Ball class, and  the Chain class has no wrong syntactic analysis,but the AS code don't run.so this is the problem.

    I don't see that the Ball class has a pv property, or that you even try to access a pv property in the Chain class.  All of the properties in your Ball class are declared as private, so you probably cannot access them directly.  They would need to be public.  Also, I still don't see where you import Ball in the chain class such that it can use it.
