Creative Inspire 5.1 5300 troubles

Hello ;
My Creative 5300 speakers that served me now for more than 10 years are giving me troubles;
Middle front speaker => no sound
Left and right front speakers => low volume sound
Left and right rear speakers => high volume sound
What I've already done :
checked all jacks and plugs
changed my X-Fi Titanium fatality pro into another PCI-e slot
Uninstalled drivers and software following the Creative FAQ http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...aspx?sid=55438
Running windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and Creative driver 2.17.9
Can I assume that my speakers are dead ?
Any ideas or suggestions ?
Also It's been so long that I bought my Creative speakers what is the today equivelant of Inspire 5.1 5300 ?

Hi there,
i have a inspire 5.1 5300 with wave sound blaster live! 5.1
my problem is that only the rear input gives the speakers any sound!The other three don't give any sound to the speakers!
And i would like to know how to take maximum adavantage of my speakers....
i hope someone tells me i have a solution......

Creative Inspire 5.1 5300 stopped working due to blown H945 transistor on circuit board.

One night I was woken by a large humming noise coming from the bass box of my Inspire 5300. I killed the power and the noise went off. In the morning I inspected the circiut board contained in the bass unit and found two scorch marks under two transistors markes "H945". I downloaded the datasheet for them(http://www.datasheet4u.com/html/H/9/...vices.pdf.html) and found an equivalent nearest match in the BC82L, general purpose NPN transistor. These are available in the UK from both Maplins and RS Components for a few pence. After removing the transistors it turns out only one of them had burn marks under it, but I changed them both anyway. HEY PRESTO everything came back to normal.
Thank you to the other forum guys that put me in the right direction and?I can confirm BC82L is the right transistor.

I used the C945 and it worked perfectly....
It seems that many people have problems with the H945 transistor....

Which speaker system is better: Inspire 5200 or 5300?

Hi,
I'm just about to :smileyindifferent: buy new Creative speaker systems. Unfortunately, in my country and city options are scarce. Only few models are available and I am trying to get a good, decent sound, with good bass for bassy songs (i.e. dance, hip-hop), and good sound in general for PC-based games and DVDs.
I am given two choices: Creative Inspire 5200 and 5300. The big question: which one is better? I supposed that since 5300 is a bigger number than 5200, the 5300s should be better; but I may be wrong (e.g. the total RMS power of the 5200s is slightly higher than the 5300s!), so... somebody can give me a piece of advice on this?
I am willing to spend as much as USD$50.00 on my new speakers... so if someone has better speakers in mind for that price, I'm open to suggestions. With luck, I can give them a try.
Regards.

Looking to Put Inspire 5.1 5300 Back In Service

The situation is like this: I have the Creative Inspire 5.1 5300 speaker system: however, it has a wired remote that doesn't work. (That is literally the only problem; however, with the wired remote unusable, the speaker system itself is useless.) Creative *does* carry other wired remotes (specifically one for the newer Inspire P5800); however, I have no idea if the remote will work with the older 5300 (I'm not expecting the M-Dock to work, and have no use for it if it does). Will the P5800 wired remote work? Will I instead have to contact Creative Direct (I'm in the US) for a 5300 replacement remote? Or am I basically screwed (and thus have to buy another speaker system, which is not exactly inexpensive)?

I tested the speaker again. This time round, I did a few test using VLC, Media Player, and Audacity. What I hear on the VLC and the Media Player is very consistent, the 5kHz tone is not as ear piercing as the 10kHz tone. I then test using Audacity. Initially, the 5kHz tone is more ear piercing then the 0kHz. But after I played the tone again on the VLC and Media player, and then back to Audacity again, what I hear became the same as that played in VLC and Media Player. So, now I am wondering which part of my PC is having problem software, sound card, or some other things that is not known to me. Can somebody please enlighten me?

Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 Problems - Only Two Speakers Work 100%

I recently purchased the Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 speaker system for my home computer, thinking that a low-end setup would work fine until I gathered the resources to trade them in for something better. Upon hooking them up though I find that they do not work as I was led to believe. The front two corner speakers and subwoofer work fine, just as they would if they were a 2.1 setup, however the center and back speakers make no noise. I know I have them hooked up correctly as I can go into my onboard soundcard?s setup program and test them individually, but in actually practice they do nothing. Not with games or movies that are supposedly 5.1 enabled.
I'm clueless as to what the problem may be. Is it that I need a Creative brand soundcard, that may Abit motherboard and it'ss built-in soundcard are unable to establish the proper frequencies or whatnot? Perhaps I do not have the appropriate surround sound drivers installed? Any help would be vastly appreciated.

DevNull7,
You may need to enable certain settings within your sound card to upmix the Stereo to 5.1. Check with your sound card support for further information. They should be able to assit you on this.

Creative inspire 5300 poping help please help

HI all i have had the Creative inspire 5300 for 2 years now on the same pc nothing changed and worked perfectly until now.
now the last 4 weeks i am getting poping thud sounds from all speckers at diffrent times it looks like a interferance problem. I think
I have a surge protector which did not help so i was woundering if my 5300 are broken as thay should have a protector built into the sub for sound interferance i would of thought.
is this a comon problem with these 5300 over time ?
thay still work and sound great but the poping thud is making me mad and not only that thay do this when the pc is turned off so its the speackers that are doing it
i have a asus motherboard this one
http://uk.asus.com/products4.aspx?l=...=58&modelmenu=
also would the Creative inspire T7900 work on this motherboard as it has an onboard sound card which has High Definition Audio Enjoy high-end sound system on your PC! The onboard 8-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC enables high-quality 92KHz/24-bit audio output, jack-sensing feature, retasking functions and multi-streaming technology that simultaneously sends different audio streams to different destinations. You can now talk to your partners on the headphone while playing a multi-channel network games. All of these are done on one computer. The Dolby Digital Live technology from Dolby Lab encodes the multi-channel audio source into AC-3 bit-stream and outputs it to S/PDIF port in real time.
thanks for any help

Hi,
I have the same problem, I also have a Asus motherboard. Recently they did a massive pop sound and turned off, then all i got was a lot of feedback noise. Is this a problem with the mboard rather than the speakers?

Creative Inspire 5100/5300 power adapter specs needed

I have lost the power adapter of my creative 5.1 speaker system while moving house. Its an Inspire 500 or 5300. Can someone please post the specifications of the power adapter these run on, including the type of pin? Better still if you could post a photo of the power adapter (with all the writing showing) and the pin, it would be simply awesome!
Even though I'm out of warranty, I am trying to get Creative to send a replacement adapter since merchants refuse to sell spare parts, but if I have the specs I can get a compatible adapter.
Thanks in advance.

Creative inspire 6700 (trouble with the sub)

I have Creative inspire 6700, for some weeks ago they stoped working, the sub stopeded making bass.
I dont know whats wrong. I have never treated them badly. When i turned the speaker system off and on again, it was bass in sec. then it disappered again. I have had them in 3 years i think and I dont know whats wrong.
Can anybody help, and tell me what to do!
And do I have a guarantee?

robin882,
Customer Support should be your contact point if you need assistance with the faulty product. Also, if you already had it for 3 years, generally I believe your warranty are had already cease but you can still contact Customer Support and they should be able to advice.
What you can try at the moment is testing the speaker on another system and see if the same thing happen.

Inspire 5.1 5300 problems

Hey guys i've got an Inspire 5.1 5300 surround system... Ive had it for a couple of years,and i only hooked up 2 speakers and the subwoofer.Well,i changed it from my sisters computer onto my own,but the rear,center and subwoofer outputs arent working...i cant get the sub to make ANY noise,no feedback or anything. I have a creative es373 soundcard if that helps.
I also installed the soundcard from my sisters computer when mine didnt work,and that didnt work either....any advice?

I dont see how the sub wont work. It has the seperate front, rear, and center in. The sub should work with just the front in as far as i know. My SBS 450 seems to work that way... i have yet to get my inspire 5.1 working but ill find out if i happen to..

Creative inspire T7

Hi,
I have creative inspire t7700 speakers and I'm having issues with them.
Are there still trouble shooting help on these type of speakers on the creative site?

Hi,
You could try our Knowledge Base and see if the issue in your speaker is listed down there. If not, try to post back more details on it and possibly other user/s have some workaround solution for you.
Best of luck.

Creative inspire P7800 and X-fi extreme sound card on win 7

I have a dell with windows 7, the creative X-fi Extreme sound card and my creative inspire P7800. The sound has not worked properly since receiveing the computer.
I am going to assume it is my speaker and the set up.
I currently cannot even get the option to set up the 7.1 surround speakers. It only shows two. Half the time the sound doesn't work and the other half it only works on certain sites.
I would appreciate any advice on how to trouble shoot this and get it working properly.
The driver I have currently installed is the creative ver. 6.10.0.209 dated 8/27/2009.Above this there is also another listing that says ATI High Definition Audio Device. I do have the on board sound of my motherboard disabled.
If I need to install another driver please advise me of the procedure to do it correctly.
Thank you for any help!
Wanda

You may want to try downloading the card's latest driver from http://support.creative.com/Products...T=CategoryID:1
It is a new driver and is released on 28 March 2014.

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.
Arun.K.S

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.

http://www.amazon.com/Console-Adapter-Convert-Plugs-Single/dp/B0006U3ACY/ref=pd_ bxgy_e_img_b
But to be safe, it might be best to check with Creative and see what they recommend for connecting it to the iMac.

Connecting Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers to DVD player

Hi,
I have a LG DVD Player (DSI 8352) which gives 5.1 home theatre (dolby decoder) output.
If I buy Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers (5200 or 5700), how do I connect them ? Through RCA Stereo cables ? Would there be any compatibility issues ?
Please suggest the 5.1 speakers that would suit my requirement (no decoder / only amplifier) ..
Plz reply back to [email protected]
Thanks,Sambath

Creative offers many speaker systems that will fit your needs, without decoder.
You mentioned the Inspire 5700 system; this system comes with a decoder/amplifier, and wouldnt actually be what you'r looking for.
If your looking for awesome sound-quality, and good power, I can recommend the 5.1 Megaworks system, though this system can get quite expensive, you'll get what you pay for.
The megaworks (like "all" other creative speaker systems, got a built in amplifier in the subwoofer, where you connect all the speakers.)
To connect the speakers to the DVD-player, you connect the multichannel output on the DVD-player, to the multichannel input on the back of the subwoofer. (three stereo minijack inputs.)
You may need some RCA-to-minijack adapters, so that the multichannel audio cable that comes with the megaworks, will fit on your DVD-players output.

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
