Creative Inspire 4.1 4400 speakers

Hi, I just bought a new set of creative inspire 4.1 4400 speakers. I haven't got a 5.1 sound card. Can I just use it as a 2.1 instead, i.e. don't connect the other 2 rear speakers?

Yup, that will work fine. Make sure you unplug the input at the speakers too (so only one input lead is connected).
You could also use a 3.5mm headphone splitter at the pc side so the front sounds come from the rear too (and put the rear speakers next to the front speakers?).

  • Creative Inspire 4.1 4400 - surround sound

    Creative Inspire 4.1 4400, Can I enjoy surround sound? If yes, please tell me the way to test the surround sound from the speakers. Is there any tool or softwares to test the surround sound from the speakers?
    Note: I don't have any sound card in my computer.
    Thanks
    S.P. Stalin.

    Does this problem only occur in certain programs? Because I have a similar problem with my sound suddenly dropping without warning. But it only happens when I'm playing music in Windows Media Player. If it does have something to do with the media player then I suspect it could be the "WOW effects plugin." I hope this helps, or at least narrows down your problem.

  • Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers problem

    Hello. I have Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers with SB Audigy Live! 24-bit installed Sound Card (it supports up to 7.1 speakers). Also I have Stereo Surround CMSS 3D settings (EAX)enabled. However when I'm listening to music or playing games my Rear Left speaker makes no sound. Before I had problem that Rear Right wasn't working (however rear left and right sound was on rear left speaker), but after replugging Rear Left doesn't work. Any ideas what might be the problem?
    Thanks for reading...
    EDIT:: I tried changing Rear Left and Rear Right speakers with each other in Subwoofer (where it connects) and Rear Left is working properly.

    Hi all do you have any idea to solve my problem?
    Currently, I'm using the P5800. My problem is sub can't working. I fix together with SB24Bit External sound card.Previously is working. I'm very proud with the sound,after I decrease the master volume and bass level volume my sub suddenly quit.what happened actually?
    -Is that mean I need to change the sub speaker or the coil inside the magnet core is burned?
    -or maybe my component circuit like ic,capacitor,diode burned?
    If I plug n unplug the power to the sub,I can heard that 'bump'. Is that mean my circuit in good condition or maybe the charge and discharge for capacitor?
    Please answer me...
    Thank You

  • Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers and Creative Vision M 30 GB

    hey i wonder if you could help me, i would like to get some Creative Inspire T600 5.1 Speakers
    for my vision m but i have read some reviews that you need 3 audio inputs to get all the speakers working so there isn't much point in buying them unless any of you know if there is an adapter or speakers like this in the same price range which will work fully with my vision m. also would these speakers work off a tv?thanks very much

  • Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 Speakers

    I have Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 speakers. The "Wired Volume / Base Control with Power Switch and Headphone Jack" is malfunctioning. In fact, when I turn the volume control on, the green LED on top does not illuminate. And because of this bad control, I do not have sound. Can anyone tell me how and where I can replace this control? Your assistance is appreciated. Thanks very much.

    I'm also having the exact same problem, and so is a friend who has the same speaker/soundcard setup. Any help is appreciated!

  • Creative Inspire T7700 - Only frotn speakers and sub work?

    I recently bought a new Dell Vostro 400 PC with a 7.1 surround sound soundcard. I decided to also buy the Creative Inspire T7700 surround sound system.
    I have got it all set up, and when I run the sound demo on every individual speaker, they each sound on their own, however when playing games, listening to songs or watching movies, only the subwoofer and two front speakers make a sound.
    Please can someone advise? Should I buy a creative sound card too?

    Fri3ndly,
    Most sounds that you will play within windows are stereo. This means that they are encoded with left and right signals only. Typically only DVD's and some games support 5.1 output. If you are getting a Creative sound card, you might want to consider the CMSS feature that will allow you to upmix stereo channels to virtual surround.

  • Creative Inspire GD580 5.1 speakers

    Im thinking about buying these speakers for use with my xbox 360. But i am unsure how exactly to connect the xbox 360 to the speaker system. At the minute i have my xbox 360 connected to my HDTV through a VGA cable, but if this poses a problem, i could easily use the HD component wires that came with the console. So any advice would be very helpful.
    And another question. I was told that i will need to purchase extra cable so that the speakers can be placed correctly around the room. Will i need 2 gauge speaker wires? or will 8 gauge wires work. Im not sure what this means, but it was what i was told.

    I would like to make a follow-up question to this thread.
    The X-Box 360 comes standard with RCA (red/white composite) audio out. As an option you can purchase the S/PDIF (digital) audio out.
    I own 2 different Creative speaker systems. The GigaWorks S750 and the MegaWorks THX 5.1 550. Both these systems use the analog mini-jack in (front, rear & sub), and the S750 also has the little "table box" with M-port, mic in & headset out (mini-jack).
    Can I use any of these Creative ssystems to connect to the X-Box 360? If yes, what is the best solution and which converter(s) is needed?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Creative Inspire 4.1 4400 Sound problem.

    The volume of the speaker system tends to increase and then decreases with slightest touch of the volume control unit. At other times the volume would jump/change on it's own. I tried disconnecting the speakers and reconnecting my old set of 2-way pc speakers and they work perfectly, thereafter i reconnected the creative speakers but the problem is still there. Does anyone know what the problem could be. I am not a technical person, I just want my speakers to work fine. If it helps my PC system specs are : 1.7 ghz celeron
    Gigabyte P4 Titan 845PE M/board
    256 MB Ram
    Avance AC '97(6 channel) Onboard
    ATi Radeon 9200 28 MB
    Windows XP Home

  • Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers

    Im looking at buying these speakers for my boyfreind, but will they be able to work with his tv and PS3. I was just wondering if any one new! many thanks beth

    The line out on your mac is 2 channel stereo. There probably is a way to wire all the speakers together but you won't get 5.1 surround, which would be a waste of all those speakers.
    I think your best option is to buy a good PCI sound card. The M-Audio Revolution 5.1 has good reviews, seems good value and probably addresses your problem.

    I've come to these forums out of desperation as i am a complete armature in knowledge when it comes to audio stuff. Basically i have the Creative Inspire 4. 4400 speakers, had a long time now back when i got my pc. However recently i've got a new hdtv the Samsung LE23R7BX lcd, and what i wish to do is hook my speakers up to this television. Now the problem i'm having is this. The 4. creative speakers, the main lead the comes from the sub then connects into the pc, ends with two audio jacks, a green, and a black. Im sure you guys know what im on about, i don't know the proper name for this you see. Anyway s my tv doesn't have green/black audio ports like on my tv. Im guessing this is because its not a p, i also read something about the black/green being stereo inputs. Anyway s the type of connections my tv allows (audio connections) are av in (audio l/r), dvi in (audio l/r),pc in (however this only has port(audio) component in (audio l/r) etc. I have no idea if there's like adapters or anything yo can buy, if there is, if anyone can postt them, or give me a rough idea what i need to look for, buy etc. Would be much appreciated, as i like to watch my films though half decent speakers and not the crappy tv ones.
    cheers

    Hella,
    Unfortunately, you have to buy two seperate "Y" mini stereo (that's what those green and black cable jacks are called) to Left and Right RCA jacks. You use one for the Front Audio and the other for Rear Audio.
    I am no sure where you are from but you should be able to buy them from local electronics and audio store such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City and/or Fry's Electronics if you happen to be lucky enough live near one. It should not cost more than 10 dollars a piece and you should not need it to be longer than 3 feet long.

  • Satellite speakers not turning on in creative inspire 4400(4.1)

    i have bought this creative inspire 4.1 4400 about 2 months back. speakers were good untill now but from the recent times when i turn on the speakers, sound is genenated only through woofer and no sound comes out of satellite speakers. Then if i start incresing the volume to a high level sound comes from satellite speakers suddenly and the spekers will function normally untill i turn them off.
    to check whether the problem is with the sound card or the speakers, i have connected the speakers to the walkmen and the same problem occured. I have checked whether any connections are loose, but all are tight and inplace. Somebody please help me to get rid of this problem.

  • Problem with Inspire 4.1 4400

    Hi?I am having Inspire 4.1 4400 speakers. My pc supports 5.1 HD audio. So I bought the Inspire 4400. The pc-to-woofer connector is 2 pin connector. When I tried to connect with that, am able to hear sounds from 2 speakers and woofer. Other 2 speakers are not working. So now am planned to buy a Creative Sound Blaster Audiy Value. Is this support Inspire 4.1 4400?My motherboard itself supports 5.1, so adding Creative Sound Blaster Audiy Value, to be problem?Or how I can use my existing pc to setup 4.1 system??

    well .. on normal surround systems the sound is played only on the 2 front speakers (+ center) and sub (im talking about music and normal movies). to play on all the speakers you need a surround environment something like a dvd or a surround game ... to play music and normal avi movies on all the speakers you should use a stereo x2 which ports the sound from the front speakers to the back speakers... your card might not have that option ( you could use audio spliters and put all the speakers on exit). creative sound cards have a stereo x2 as far as i know..

  • Help setting up Creative Inspire T6100 (5.1) to HP Laptop

    Hi I recently bought Creative Inspire T600 (5.) speakers. I am unable to connect this to my HP DV6T laptop having only one input for speakers where as creative t600 has 3 pins in black, orange and green colors. I am stuck here. Could anyone please tell me how to connect the 5. speakers to my laptop? Appreciate your help.

    Not really 100% sure (I only have a Creative T3030 2.1 that has a single 3.5mm jack) but from everything that I Googled, it looks like a stereo 3.5mm to RCA adapter and a Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter should work.

    But to be safe, it might be best to check with Creative and see what they recommend for connecting it to the iMac.
