[ Control Volume Broken on FPS 2000 ]

Hi. I bought the Cambridhe Four Point Surround 2000 Digital on year 2000. The Cable of Volume Control is broken, doesn't work good, and is too complex for be fixed by me.Where can i get a new Control Volume ? i am in Europe?Thanks.

I have come to a similar conclusion. I took the volume controller apart. Nothing in there except a potentiometer/switch and a led. I found no obvious problems like a short. Since the volume changing happens at different volume settings, I don't see how it could be the potentiometer. I took the amp apart and again found no obvious problems. I can't say for sure if heat causes the problem but it does seem like the problem does occur more frequently when the ambient temperature is higher and the system has been in use for awhile. I called Creative and they do not offer a replacement amp or subwoofer. If the problem gets too difficult to live with I will probably replace the FPS 2000's with Logitech X-530's.

  • Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open and close WinDVD or Winfast

    Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open these programs, and when they're closed the main volume resets to where it was before the program was opened.
    Surely I'm not the only one who has had this problem before.. I've had the problem with both Creative soundcards I've owned, before and after different drivers installations.
    It can be very irritating and can potentially lead to damaged speakers if I'm not paying close attention to what my various volume knobs are set at before and after I open these programs.
    I appreciate any and all input, thankyou.

  • Not able to control volume up/down while using Digital AV Adapter.

    Hi there,
    I am using iPhone 5, iPad 4 and digital av adapter. Video mirroring works fine but can't control volume while the devices are plugged with the digital av adapter. The volume button just disappear when it is plugged.
    I use 24 inch monitor with speaker and non-apple HDMI cable.
    Wondering anyone has any idea.
    Thank you for your comments in advance.

    When an apple device is connected to a HDMI display e.g. a TV, it is possible indeed usual for the sound output to be also automatically sent over the HDMI connection to the TV speakers. This works fine.
    However, in this configuration the on-screen volume control on the apple device is disabled and the device has no way itself to control the volume level. The volume level can be controlled on the TV. As this stands, this could be considered normal correct behavior.

  • HT3887 how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function F keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

    how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function <F> keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

    little wireless cameras would not have the ability to send back to the base, even thought the base can reach it.
    Now if you take regular cameras and wire them into a Cisco switch that was attached to a wireless bridge that could shine back to the base...now you might have something, but your still going to have to do a survey/path analysis to determine if it is feasible.
    Coverage isnt throughput. I see one base station with 3 or 4 sectoral antennas depending on direction, pointing two several distribution bridges to bridge the gaps that go out again to the cameras...something like that. And all of it should be higher in the air than your construction.

  • Out of control volume control

    My HP Pavilion dv7=-3057 laptop has an out of control volume icon and control. I believe that it is possessed . It comes on all by itself.  The blue line runs back and forth eventually reaching the highest volume point. It sometimes goes off by itself only to return when I am busy doing something. Sometimes it will go away when I click on the screen the way it is supposed to. Other times it will just keep coming on over and over and over and ov... , you get the point. It is very maddening. I have recently discovered that a quick and hard  slam down on the desk keeps it from coming back for longer periods but it keeps coming on over and over and over and over. I spent 2 1/2 hours with HP support but to no avail. They gave it a very good attempt. Please help as it keeps coming on over and over and over and over and over and......

  • Fourpoint Surround FPS 2000 Digital - Replacement AC Adapter?

    Yeah, anyone reading this is thinking, "That system is ancient! Didn't that come out around EAX 1.0?" Indeed, friends, indeed. And a faithful and wonderful system it has been. I would love for it to continue its service in my home, too, if I can locate a replacement AC adapter. Go figure. Speakers still work, but without power what good are they? Again, I'm looking for the AC adapter for the Cambridge Soundworks Fourpoint Surround FPS 2000 Digital speaker package. It features 5VDC 3A output. I'm a bit hesitant to PAY to ask Creative if they can help me through customer support. =/ Especially for such an old system that gets no recognition on their site at all. =) Thanks all! -Rober

    Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 Digital System Model#: C5W500AC Adapter Model#: TEAD-66-53000U Hope that helps.
    I just found a generic transformer at Radio Shack (gag me!) and they want $90US (again, please) which is a bit more than I ever plan to pay for a Radio Shack part. At $90, I'd just save up and buy one of the newer model systems. =/

  • HT3399 F10, F11 and F12 will not control volume.

    I replaced the keyboard and my new keyboard and I cannot get the F10 to mute or F11 volume down or F12 volume up to work, at all.  How do I get these keys to control volume?

    Hello,
    Is this normal speakers or HDMI?
    I think Spark cured this for another person and the same problem...

    I can't control volume in iTunes with keyboard

    Yes nachit, I have the same problem.
    I've noticed that when I switch between the output audio devices (i.e. Built in speaker to headphones), the volume control fails.
    I've already opened a topic yesterday. At this time, no answer.
    We'll wait...

  • Cannot control Volume in Kompakt Patches. Anyone?

    for the sake of efficiency i want to make a multi from an instance in of kompakt for RA. (NB this is kompakt NOT kontakt)
    the manual both in RA and for kompakt is very sketchy as to how to do this.
    as i understand it, without the option 'use std cc for volume and pan' i should be able to control volume with cc0.
    therefore, i can create single channel instances and convert the cc7 data to cc0 on its way to the channel strip with RA loaded in, and the cc0's via the indiviudally assigned midi channels should operate the volume for each patch.
    but no, it does not work. i cannot even get the volume knob for the patch to write automation in latch mode on the track for the kompakt player.
    i am completely flummoxed. if i am missing something then its awfully well hidden....
    anyone else? or do i just have to load instances for each instrument? what about the stand alone for kompakt. i don't seem to have that. anyone know where i can get it? errr...and yes i have tried the native instruments website but i am getting sick of the dead ends.....

    Midi Controller data is not automated with Logic's automation. You have to record/write Midi Controller Data into the Region event list (you can also do this by drawing with the pencil tool in the Hyper edit). With a Multi instance of Kompakt this Midi CC data will affect all of your Channels at once though so it's not really usable for Multi instances. This is a known Logic/Kompakt/Kontakt issue but there is a solution - at least for Kontakt (I don't know Kompakt but assume it works the same).
    If you look at the top left of your Kontakt GUI there is a menue calles "Auto". In there you can assign parameter numbers (#000-#999) to any knob by just dragging it from the menue to the knob (e.g. volume slider of your Instrument). Those parameters can then be automated in Logic by choosing the #000 from the Kontakt parameter list and writing/recording nodes.
    hi mate, no i know about kontakt and it is no problem here.
    but according to the kompakt manual, volume information for each individual patch is assigned to cc0 (unless you set the preference for it to be standard cc7).
    but it ain't working.
    in my scenario, i am using single channel insts created in the environment and then patched to a transformer which turns the cc7 messages generated by the volume slider on the single channle insts to cc0. this should (via the assigned midi channel) change the volume within kompakt.
    i have experimented with a single fader. i have tried the option for cc7 standard both on and off. restarted kompakt as instructed and even restarted logic.
    nothing.
    usually, if you set latch on the channel strip and fiddle with a knob in the plug-in interface it will write automation which you can then discern and do the environment finagling without any problems.
    but nothing. no automation is written. if you turn a volume knob for an individual patch it out to generate its own midi messages which you can view with the midi monitor.
    nothing.
    i really don't understand it. it's clearly something to do with kompakt but i surely can't be the only one.

    Until today I didn't even know volume controle on Spotify Connect was possible, so it's great Spotify is working on this! Is there any way we can help (testing etc.) to make it work on every device? Is it known why it works on some devices, and don't on other devices?
    By the way, I'm using Spotify Premium and have reinstalled Spotify like mentioned.
    Hi,
    I'd be tempted to suggest the below:
    Moto G --> Laptop: working - Correct, connect for Android allows the controlling of or receiving of commands from devices that are connect enabled.
    Laptop --> Moto G: not working - This may be because although the architecture for controlling other connect devices is enabled in the PC app. It may not yet be active on your account, so you can control the PC but until activated on your account you cannot yet use the PC to control other devices.
    Laptop --> Android Mini PC MK808II: not working - Android mini PC is not connect enabled AFAIK
    Android Mini PC MK808II --> Laptop: not working - As above
    Moto G --> Android Mini PC MK808II: not working - As above
    Android Mini PC MK808II --> Moto G: not working - As above
    Although... good scenario's. Maybe give support a shout and see if they can check if connect is fully enabled on your account for desktop.

  • Control volume earphones

    The default sony earphones in the box haven't volume control! Are there sony earphones with the control volume?&lt;br&gt;Thanks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Giulio.

    I'm trying to understand the same thing.
    I don't have a Z1 Compact, but the regular one. The standar earphones doesn't have a volume control, and any other with the volume buttons works on my Z1.
    The other earphones works just with the main button, but no volume control. So I try to understand how a "sound expert" company like Sony produces a huge device like Z1 and I need to use the standard volume control on the cellphone?

  • I can not control volume levels with headphones

    I tried lot's of models but none of them let me control volume levels. Since the xperia z 3 is a big phone and I carry it in my pocket all the time, sometimes it's really hard to reach the phone to lover or increase the music level. It's a big shame that sony doesn't think of it.... Please help me if u know any headphone models that allows volume control. Thnx

    That's a great suggestion @viridis

  • Problem with Controlling Volume on Ipod Shuffle 3rd Generation

    I recently bought new headphones for my Ipod shuffle (3rd gen) and I can't control the volume. The + and - buttons on the headphones don't seem to work, I heard my Ipod might need to be reset? Other people have experienced this problem when connecting there headphones to the Ipod shuffle, so I am unsure if the headphones are actually the problem.  Any advice on how to reset the Ipod shuffle and/or be able to control volume?

    Try restoring to factory settings. Connect to iTunes, click on your iPod under the DEVICES section, click Restore. When asked, click Set up as New iPod.
    I had this same problem the other day. The Apple Store said that if a restore doesn't fix it, then their solution is to replace the iPod. They have seen this issue before but it doesn't seem to be curable by software fixes. It usually happens on older devices.
