Connecting an Inspire 6.1 6600 system directly to a PC WITHOUT a sound card

I have a Dell PC with no sound card. I also have an Inspire 6.1 system. I want to connect the speaker system directly to the PC. I searched high and low on the CL site to no avail.

Hi Tseran6600,
Before you do that, please check if the main board supports 6.1 speakers. It would also be advisable to get in touch with the computer vendor for assistance because they have information about your system.

    Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
    This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
    Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
    Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

  • Inspire 6.1 6600 Repair??ANYBODY??

    After about 3 years of reliable usage, my Inspire 6.1 sub took a dump. It just made a "BOOMP" sound and power went off. I checked internal fuse and it's fine,... anybody know where I can get this repaired?
    Creative just wants to sell me a NEW system and charge me $2.99 for a "Tech Session" for trouble shooting........
    ARE YOUR SPEAKERS PLUGGED IN AND TURNED ON.........yep
    IS YOUR REMOTE SWITCH TURNED ON.................................yep
    ARE YOUR CABLES ATTACHED PROPERLY...............................yep
    ARE YOU SURE THE SOUND SOURCE IS SENDING SIGNAL..... yep
    .....OK,.... IT's BROKE..................................DUHHHHHHHHH HHHhhhhhhh!!! $2..99 PLEASE.
    You know, the sad thing is;
    I use many other Creative products on my job (Music Production). I use Creative Jukeboxes, Creative Soundcards, as well as creative Playcenter2 & Mediasource.....
    I work with this equipment every day,... my production schedule demands reliable gear or a least quick customer service. We can't afford the "down time".
    I have REALLY been considering switching to iPod's and with the lack of customer service I am getting from Creative,.... I might just go that direction. I have been told I "won't look back".
    Since I can't even get schematics (thats "Internal Map" ??,...for SOME Creative tech people),......... to have my Inspire 6.1 6600 system repaired (which from the looks of this forum is a COMMON PROBLEM ),..... I guess maybe I'd be better off spending my $$$ somewhere else.
    Thanks guys!!

  • Help! My system crashes very often and without any apparent reason.

    Hello,
    I think I have the same problem as Juju had in a previous thread.
    My sistem has the following:
      Pentium 4 2.4GHz HT (800 MHz FSB),
      MSI 865PE Neo2-LS MB,
      2 x 256MB DDR400 made by PQI,
      Nvidia GEForce 4 MX440 with 64MB RAM (Only AGP 4x),
      SoundBlaster Live! 4.1 (Value)
      Windows XP Pro OS
    First, I couldn't install Win XP with memory in dual channel
    configuration, but only with a single memory module.
    Then, with one module or both modules in single (or dual) channel, I receive a lot of Page Fault errors from DirectX applications (like Unreal 2 and NFS 6), or even from RadLight
    or MediaPlayer with some xvid encoded movies. The system also reboots from time to time. The errors are not so frequent when using only one memory module, but they are
    still present.
    I must say that all these applications were running with no errors on my previous system (which had the same video and sound cards, but a PIII motherboard and SDRAM).
    I have tried different memory settings (even have set timings to the highest possible values - lowest performance) in BIOS but there is no change. I have also disabled HT, but still no result.
    The temperature of the CPU is 45-55 degrees Celsius and the system temparature is 35-40 C.
    Please, can somebody help me with this problem.
    Can it be from the MB, from the memory, or from the video card ? Or even Win XP ?
    Best Regards,
    DaveJones

    Features of Dual DDR memory architecture include:
    Highest memory bandwidth: Dual DDR combines the power of DDR400 with two independent memory controllers, which yields a staggering 6.4GB per second of memory bandwidth¡Xtwice the memory bandwidth of other DDR400 chipsets. Increased memory bandwidth delivers better system and graphics performance, resulting in more overall productivity.
    Lowest latency: Both memory controllers operate concurrently with each other to hide latencies associated with typical chipsets. For example, controller "A" reads or writes to main memory while controller "B" prepares for the next access, and vice versa. As important is the second-generation DASP (dynamic adaptive speculative preprocessor), which has been re-architected for improved performance.
    Most stable and flexible memory system: End-users can now populate higher density DIMMs, up to 1GB each, to utilize the entire 3GB memory address map. This large memory map allows more applications, audio and video streams to coexist without conflict.
    512MB (256MB x 2 modules)

    Pure Copper Heat Spreader ($16 value)
    6 Layer Ultra Low Noise Shielded PCB
    184-pin DIMM
    CAS Latency: 2-2.5
    Optimized for Dual Channel Operation
    Voltage: 2.5v-2.8V
    Sorry to disagree. CAS Latency of 2.5 or even 3 does not prevent you from running in dual channel mode. It may hinder MAT or PAT settings.
    DaveJones if you scroll down to the bottom of this page, you will see a RAM compatibility table, yours does not seem to be on the list which might be the source of your problem:

  • Can I connect a USB 2 sound card to a Macbook equipped only with USB 3 ports?

    Hello,
    I just learned I might have to purchase a new Macbook because my USB ports are fried and I was looking at purchasing a refurbished Macbook pro from 2012:
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FD101LL/A/refurbished-133-inch-macBook-pro-25g hz-dual-core-intel-i5
    the only trouble is I make music with a MOTU Audio Express sound card, and it only has a USB 2 port and a bus-powered Firewire (which I don't like using since it hasn't been too reliable in the past).
    http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/audio-express/summary.html
    Unfortunately, it seems that the Macbook I'm looking into purchasing only has USB 3 ports, and I looked for info on USB 3->USB 2 adapters online and this simply doesn't seem to exist. The only info I managed to find on this subject was this little bit on the Apple website:
    Can a USB 2 cable be used to connect a USB 3 device to my computer?
    If the device end of the cable fits into the connector on the device, yes. However, because it has fewer wires, you won't get USB 3 speed and power may be limited to 500 mA.
    does this mean that I can connect a USB 2 cable from the USB 2 port of the MOTU sound card to the USB 3 port on the Macbook? I'm OK with the power and the speed being limited to USB 2 power, I just want to make sure I can actually use my sound card with this new Macbook.
    Thanks!

    I think I'm understanding this a bit more now.
    Here is the cable that I use:
    http://www.amazon.ca/USB-Cable-Type-Male-Black/dp/B00183I7EE
    The Type A part is the one that I'm currently putting into the Macbook and the Type B part goes in the sound card.
    Would this work with a USB 3.0 port on the Macbook?
    Thanks for your time and patience...

  • Connecting Inspire 6.1 speaker system to Television

    Hi,
    I am having creative inspire 6.1 6600 speker system connected to my computer and its working perfectly for me.Recently i bought a television LG 29FD55VE. I am planning to connect the speaker system to this Television.How do i do that?
    There are two ports(AV2) in the television from which i am able to hear the sound if i connect the single speaker directly to that port.
    One more question i have is does creative speker systems have inbuilt amplifiers?
    Thanks in advance

  • Inspire 6.1 6600 Sound

    Hi,
    Recently i have bought creative inspire 6.1 6600 speaker set....
    I have ASROCK P4i45GV motherboard......And it has built-in sound card....When i connect the speaker set to my PC i am able to connect 4 speakers and Sub woofer too. I am able to hear the sound from all the 4 speakers and that sound will be same in all 4 speakers..(It will not be different in each speaker) Remaining two speakers i am not using ....Right now i am not planning to buy any sound card ..
    when i keep the bass full and increase the volume, after half stage the sound starts shaking...Meaning i wont be able to hear the complete sound...
    According to me there should not be any problem with the sound even i keep both bass and volume high .But the same is not happening with my inspire 6600......
    So whats the problem?Do you think any problem with the particular set...........
    Moderator plz help me in this regard.
    Thanks In Advance
    Rudra

    6.1 6600 speakers will have every satellites giving out different sounds and reverberation. If you have those all similare, your sound card might not be supporting channel output.
    With my experience with creative, the speaker systems are not suposed to be operated at full volume, at full bass enhan*****t. The reasons are:
    1) The power supply will be one-third more capable than the speaker rating. So, full amplification of the sound signal is not preferable.
    2) Even if the fidility of sound card is excellent with more than 98 dB SNR, the amplifier at the speaker system need not be as good as that at the card (because, it amplifies the signal to much higher a value)
    3) As I have seen with most of the speaker systems (including high end theatres), the bass enhan*****t is fully functional with woofer and subwoofers of more than 100 watt RMS. That too will exhibit chattering after an year or two, at high volumes.

  • Problem with Inspire 6.1 6600 subwoofer

    Hello,
    All of my other speakers work except for the Sub......
    It is strange because everything is connected to the sub, the sound of the other speakers is good and the calibration via the Creative software reads good.
    Still, the sub just doesn't make any sound.....
    I have this speaker system since 2002......
    Does anyone have any suggestion as to why my sub doesn't work?

  • Inspire 6.1 6600 MOD Tissue BOX

    So, i took one of satellites from my inspire 6600 just because my klipsch promedia 5.1 ultras eliminated the need to ever use those again, and i Decided that I wanted to take it apart and play around with it. But after carrying it around with me for a while i decided that i wanted to put the actual speaker somewhere without the case. I was with my friend and we couldnt think of anywhere untill we saw the tissue box on the counter and at once we realized that this tissue box was destined to play music. After a few hours of messing around with the speakers, and taking apart other various electronics for parts, wires etc. we finally came up with our final product, a tissue box with 0watts of speaker power coming out of it. Well we had fun with that and thank god that we still have the 5 other satellites from the 6.1 system to mess around with. The pictures for this are on a makeshift website that i threw together just for this http://www.geocities.com/essej777/ti...html?369535209

  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

  • Office 2013 - Word cannot establish a connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode

    Hiya!
    This issue has been answered numerous times for Office 2010 and Office 2007, but I have yet to any solutions or Hotfixes that work for Office 2013 (x64) on Win7.
    How to replicate the issue:
    Open a file from a network share.
    Edit file.
    Leave computer on with file open. Computer goes to sleep or into stand-by mode.
    Wait a bit
    Wake up computer
    CPU opens file in Read-Only mode and gives you the following error "Word cannot establish a network connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode. Save the document into a different file to keep any changes."
    What I've tried:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2434898 - Office 2007 registry fixes. Does not apply.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2413659 - Office 2010 problem. This exact issue. Says 'No microsoft products that match this hotfix are installed'
    Work Around:
    I can saving new versions of these files overrides this issue, but this is sometimes not possible for end-users who only have specific access to ONE SPECIFIC FILE in a particular network share.
    Please let me know how I can alleviate this issue!
    Thanks
    -Chris

    Hi,
    Are those problematic documents created via previous versions of Office?

  • How to develop portal application connecting to SAP R/3(backend system)

    Hello Everyone,
                            Can anyone guide me on how to create portal aplication(JSPDYNPAGE), that will connect to backend SAP R/3 system, & it will fetch the data from some table from that R/3 system. Any reference material will be appriciated, it will be of great help.
    Thanks
    Chetan.

    Hi Chetan,
    Connection to R/3 systems through Portal can be done in many ways. Since you have mentioned that you are using jspdynpage then its better that you use JCo for connecting to R/3 system.
    U can write the JCo code using the jspdynpage component. I hope you have pdfs related to JCO. Incase u dont have then give me you mail id. OK
    Another approach could be developing a web dynpro java application that access a r/3 table using a BAPI. You can a dynpro model to easily connect to R/3 system.
    Just develop an iview based on this web dynpro application. And finally navigate to this iview through your jspdynpage.
    I hope this helps you in some way
