Just connect them using your speaker audio cable from the decoder audio outputs jack to the speaker system audio inputs jack. The decoder user guide should also cover some simple guide for connection too which you can refer to.

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 6.1 6700 with Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard?

I have a Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 with Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard, but the front-middle speaker does not work!
It's not the speaker self who is defect, I test this by switchging the connector on the subwoofer with the rear-middle, then the front-middle is working right.
I have switched to 5.1->6.1 on the subwoofer.
What can cause these problem?
Audio cables wrong connected to the audio-card?
I use Windows 98SE as O.S.
thanks in advance!

Gaitje
Try enabling the CMSS feature of your 5.1 Live! sound card, You could refer to our Knowledge for more information on CMSS.

Upconvert Stereo to Five Channel with DDTS-100?

I'm using the DDTS-100 to share a speaker system between Windows Media Center and a Dolby Digital enabled high definition DirecTV DVR. I don't find any control that allows you to upconvert a standard two channel audio source to a five channel system. On Windows media players, this is a standard feature. In Windows Media Player they call this "SRS Wow". On the Creative Audigy setup they call this CMSS. This is probably the single most basic feature I would expect any Dolby decoder to offer, as a way to offer a cheap expansion of low quality sound sources, to at least fill all the speakers with some kind of sound balance.
Is there any way to get the DDTS-100 to expand a two channel source to five channel? I tried all of the modes for output, and none of them did this. Quite bizarrely, there is a mode that lets you upconvert a five channel system to six channel. How they could have remembered to implement something that esoteric but have forgotten to implement a two to five channel conversion (which would benefit about 95% of the potential market for the product) is strange.

It appears that the Neo:6 setting is working well on most two channel content to upconvert to five channels. But it just by bad luck happens that the content I was originally using (a Spanish language channel 429 on DirecTV) does *not* upconvert to five channel but remains on two channels. Would this indicate the source is mono rather than stereo? Will Neo:6 only upconvert two channels to five and have no effect at all on a mono source?

I-Trigue L3500 with DDTS-100

Can I combine DDTS-100 with speaker I-Trigue L3500?

Vvien,
The DDTS-100 speakers are meant for use with 5.1 / 6.1 / 7.1 speakers. If you're connecting from a soundcard, connecting analog speakers would offer no benefits. It is possible though, but you'll only be using one of the connections that is available to go to speakers, but it's set up to output sound for 5.1 speaker (or more).

Centre channel problem with DDTS-100

I have a set of Gigaworks s750 speakers connected to my PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 via the DDTS-100 decoder; up until yesterday this was all working fine. Having moved some of the gear around to accomodate my new desk, I plugged everything back in and found that the sound from the front centre channel is muffled and/or quieter than the other channels.
The speakers themselves don't seem to be the problem as the PC (which is connected via the switch box included with the decoder) sounds fine but the problem persists with both the PS3 and X360.
My first thought was that I'd pulled one of the cables loose while rearranging the furniture but I've re-plugged everything in several times since with no joy. I've also tried changing the spdif cables and switching the sockets around, as well as removing the switch box and plugging the speakers directly into the decoder but nothing made any difference.
Has anyone ever encountered anything like this before and/or could offer any suggestions?
Any advice would be much appreceated.

I finnaly found out my problem
The buzz came out from my coax cable from my DVD. My DVD player was probably inducing 60Hz on the coax output.
I switched to the optical output and no more buzz.
I'll need to buy a new toslink cable to plug my x-box on the optical input #2
Also I pluged my TV audio out in my st analog input, it also induced a 60 Hz on my DDTS-100. The decoder does not seem to filter out electric noises.
I'm pretty happy to have found out my problem but I'm very dispointed that the DDTS-100 does not filter any electric noises.

Help.. What sound card to go with ddts 100??

HI everyone,?I just bought my samsung lcd tv and i am very anxious to get the ddts-100. But the problem now is: What sound card should i get? Get a Xi-Fi Extreme Music or just a cheaper soundcard will do since the decoding will be done by the decoder. Can anyone advise on this? I hope to spend lesser on the sound card but if it is really needed then i will get good one. Thanks.
Regards,Kekin

Bear in mind the DDTS-100 will only decode Dolby and DTS (and their varieties). That is, it will happily decode the surround from a dvd (assuming your soundcard and software passes it over the digital) but it will only get stereo when gaming or using CMSS for music.
So, the DDTS-100 is a great partner to a standalone dvd player, games console, and whatever else you have hooked up to the tv. It will also play nice when watching dvds on the pc. It has a good upmixer for music and stereo tv too. If thats roughly what you had planned then it will fit that role nicely. Its also more convenient than switching manually over to the pc (with the switcher box) when you want to use it instead of the decoder.
If you were planning to do everything on the pc then it may be a bit pointless as your soundcard and software could do it all instead. Also, i suspect the quality will be better from a decent X-Fi than the DDTS-100 but havent got around to doing a comparison yet.

Help connect X-fi Elite Pro with DDTS-100 and Gigaworks s750

Hi,
I purchased a brand new Gigaworks s750 speakers system, DDTS-100 decoder and X-fi Elite Pro. I connected the DDTS-100 and Elite Pro using Optical Fibre output from the audio console of X-fi Elite Pro to the optical digital input of DDTS-100. With the cables supplied with s750, I connected it to the Decoder DDTS-100. The problem is I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers and the front speakers. Only the centre speakers and the side speakers are producing sound. I could hear loud hissing sound and very very low volume of the music from the front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. I can hear good quality sound from the centre speakers and average quality sound from the side speakers. What could possibly have gone wrong with my setup ? Somebody please help me. Thanx in advance.

Hi Richie,
Thanq for your response. But unlike what you have mentioned, ("what may be happining is the soundcard is decoding the signal and then the ddts is trying to decode it with disatrous results"), In my setup the signal is not getting decoded two times, once by Soundcard and once by the DDTS-100. As I have mentioned that I am taking out an Optical Signal from the sound card to the DDTS-100, the signal comming out from the sound card to the DDTS is Encoded signal only. So there doesnt arise a chance that the signal is getting decoded twice. Can you think of any other reason why my setup is not working? Please let me know.
regards,
Rahul M

Hum problem with DDTS-100 with Klipsch Promedia 5.1

I have a problem with me decoder DDTS-100 since the beginning. I use it with Promedia 5.1 Klipsch kit.
When I use digital sources either optical or coax, when my decoder does'nt receive any signal from my DVD or X-box, I am earing a big hum coming out from my speakers. And then when my DDTS-100 receive a digital signal the hum disapeer.
I am not earing the hum when I use the analog input.
I am very disapointed about this bug because when the volume is high I am worried about my Klipsch kit.
Thanks in advance

Annoying Buzzing with DDTS-100

Hi,
I have had a set of T-7900 speakers for about 6 months now and I've has no problems with them. They were being used in conjunction with an Audigy 2 ZS.
I decided to purchase the DDTS-100 decoder for my other devices to use the speakers. But when I have it all setup on the speakers on there is a loud buzzing sound. For those of you who have the DDTS-100 you will know you can switch between PC and source. When I flick it to decoder the buzzing stops.
Any ideas what's causing this?

i have the xfi xtreame music and the g500 get great 5. sound on movies and games.dont need anyting else hope this hel
ps.

Dolby Digital with DDTS-100

Hi,
I recently just got HDTV and connected it to my DDTS-100 (which is connected to the Gigaworks S750). However, all channels which have 5.1 surround sound (confirmed with cable company - doesn't mean they aren't lieing/don't know what they're talking about) make the the DDTS-100 illuminate the Dolby Digital light (as expected), but also the "Stereo" light (making me think I'm only getting a 2.1 signal). The end result is that I only get sound out of the sub, FL and FR. If I use any of the matrix modes I "lose" all the voices (i.e. apparently no centre channel decoded).
I've tried hooking up the Gigaworks S750 directly to my 7.1 soundcard and all speakers work fine. I've also tried every combination of upmixing available on both the DDTS-100 and the Gigaworks S750. I've also tried using Optical and Coaxial sources from the HDTV box. I also have a GameCube which appears to work perfectly fine on the Pro-Logic mode.
Is there something special I need to do with the DDTS-100? Any way of confirming that the signal is in fact 5.1

plz reply

Problems with my Creative Inspire 5300 speakers

Okay, the all used to work fine. When playing anything through windows media player, winamp, or anything else for that matter, all I get is sound from the rear speakers and the subwoofer. I have it set for 5.1 surround, so that's not the problem. When I go to the creative volume control and do the sound test, all the speakers seems to be working fine, except the only one that doesn't make sound in the test is the rear right speaker. But when listening to music or watching anything through windows media, the sub and rear left and right work fine, but no front or center.
Any help?

Do you have an X-Fi?
There is some sort of bug in the drivers of the X-Fi which causes the speaker channels to go haywire. It happened to me on two different PCs with two different X-Fis and two different types of speaker systems, one a home theatre system and another a set of PC speakers.
Fiddling with the speaker test in the THX console and the speaker settings applet fixed it. I didn't have to mess with the plugs.
However 'tis been working fine since then.
