Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 subwoofer not working

I've had set of 6700 speakers for a couple of years now. About a year ago, my PC was upgraded to a 64 bit motherborard, with a crappy on-board sound card (uses Soundmax drivers). With the new motherboard, I lost control of the sound setup, & ended up with masses of bass from the subwoofer. After a while, all sounds deteriorated, & the bass disappeared (along with much sound from the rest of the speakers). I finally got the hell in and invested in a new sound card - Creative Soundblaster Audigy 4 excellent piece of kit. Now I have decent (controllable) sound from all speakers.... EXCEPT no sound from the subwoofer. I have tested all the contacts - everything seems to be plugged in OK. If I disconnect the power lead, I get a dull thud from the subwoofer - so something must be connected! Any suggestions what to try to get the bass working properly again? I've tried the various settings in the sound setup (e.g. max subwoofer volume) but get nothing.

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

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!

X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!

<X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!I I have WIndows Vista 32-bit Ultimate and Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio installed and with the factory drivers (I tried another set earlier and they did not work, so I reinstalled the original drivers which worked, at least partially). Until now I only listened to music using my headphones, but I tried today to plug-in my 5. Genius system (50W RMS) and everything works fine EXCEPT the subwoofer does not produce any sound at all!! The ONLY way to make it work is go to Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers -> press Configure and then click the Test button in the dialog that appears (or click the subwoofer icon to make it produce a very nice bass sound - which I absolutely love, but it's the only way to make my subwoofer work!!!). Please guys, help me find out what the problem is. All help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you my friend,I have done as you have mentioned (made sure the DLL did not stay there when I rebooted before I installed your version), and now I have the version which you have built. However, I am still unable to hear the subwoofer I am so sad... even my default on-board card supports the 5. just great, and I love the sound of that, but I was hoping for something better from Creative - instead, all I got was a soundcard I can only use with my headphones at the moment because of a faulty driver...
Did you enable Bass Redirection?
Run Console Launcher, click on Speakers and Headphone -> choose 5. Speakers.
Then click on Bass (Bass Management) and enable Bass Redirection.

Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 bro

I've just moved and when I first tried to power on my creative speakers they just won't.
When I switch on the speaker with the little hand controller, the light in the middle just won't light. Also when I tune it on the pc I won't hear any sound, while with an older set of creative speaker it works.
Because the light on the hand controller doesn't turn on, I suppose it might be a problem with the power adapter?
I would like to know where I can order a new one. (reference MODEL TEAC-66-35000V)
Anything else that can helpme solve the problem is welcome
My product is probably out of warranty because it's been at least 2 years that I've bought them.
I'm living in Brussels, and if you knwo any place where I can go, and have my product repair this is useful.
Thanks

hello I`m from Bulgaria. I have the same problem with my speaker system creative inspire 6. 6700... ? I can`t find a similar? adapter anywhere Please help ;( do you now from where i can buy an adapter or order it's?
Thanks in advance ?

Inspire A200 subwoofer not working

Hi,
I just recently bought the Creative Inspire A200 speakers (2.1) a few days ago. The subwoofer seemed to be working fine earlier but now no bass or sound is coming out. Basically it isn't making any sound at all. Sounds come out from my two speakers but the subwoofer isn't producing any sounds. I've tried unplugging/plugging it back and I know that everything is plugged in properly. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi cotnightjoe,
Sorry no answer - I got the same problem. Tried all jacks with my ipod, which showed up the centre speaker as muffled.
Can someone please provide some ideas?
Thanks

Downloaded Muse before Creative Cloud. Muse there but not working, Paid for?

Hi,
I have just given my bank account details and paid to download Adobe Muse (it said nothing about having Creative Cloud open, etc)... Didn't know if I needed it open?
Anyway, it said 'downloading Muse' I couldn't find it anywhere... then I realised I must need to have Creative Cloud - I installed/Opened Creative Cloud and there it is, Muse - right at the top of the menu... It says it is installed... I can't see it on my Mac HD in the Applications folder though. AND it will NOT open. It says I must uninstall. However, the uninstall feature is shaded out, so I CANNOT uninstall. I use this application at work and I need to be able to use it now.
Please can you tell me how I can get Adobe Muse to work?
Only other conditions:
Using Mavericks
Had a trial version of Muse on my machine (forgot to delete - deleted now and move to trashed after an uninstall of that version)
Thanks - need answer asap
Nobody at Adobe available to help. I need to be using this this weekend. It's not life or death, but it's my JOB on the line here.
ANY advice as to what's gone wrong and how to fix it will be most welcome. Been sat here for ages trying to follow all online forum advice... it may have worked for them, but not for me... oh, and it is NOT showing up in my Uninstaller either....
Cheers,
A

Thanks Vivek, They are useless though, I'm afraid... a big corporation like Adobe and not one single bit of help has been give to me over the last 7 days.
But as I have said.... nobody is responding to me... it (your link) just keeps reloading the same old tired pages and say that there is nobody available right now.
Oh, and just in case anybody else is interested, Muse (the one I have just paid a subscription to but have been UNABLE to use it properly from DAY ONE - purchased on December 20th 2014) is NO LONGER WORKING:
Paid for, won't load up - not even start trial works... """Start Trial?""" I am paying for it?
This was my latest message to the '24/7' Chat help (rolls eyes sniggering... 24/7 my a****:
This is getting totally ridiculous now.
Firstly, I have CS5/5.5 versions running on my machine.
Secondly, I paid for and installed Adobe Muse.
Thirdly, Adobe Muse wouldn't launch without telling me to reinstall Application Manager.
Fourth, I kept on reinstalling the Application Manager and Adobe Muse would not work.
Fifth, Adobe Muse 'uninstall' was shaded out, so I could not uninstall that either.
Sixth, Adobe Muse eventually started working, but then ALL of my CS5 software STOPPED working.
Seventh, I disconnected from the internet and Creative Cloud to see if my CS5 software would start to work - no, it did not.
Eighth, I have now logged back into Creative Cloud and it is now saying 'Start trial' for Adobe Muse... remember, the software that I have actually paid for and downloaded has now turned itself into a trial.
I am absolutely fed up to the back teeth.
I am going to cancel my subscription if this new software and my OLD software do not start working today. This is totally ridiculous and has been going on for days and I cannot seem to get ANY help from you guys.
Unfortunately, they didn't have ONE SINGLE MEMBER of staff available on the """""""24/7""""""" 'HELP'line.
Adobe, you are a joke.
I am calling your number first thing on Monday and if anybody answers (which I doubt) I will be cancelling my subscription and I require a full refund.

Should I return my new MacBook Pro? Creative Suite CS and CS2 do not work?

I am soooooooooooooooo ******!!!!!!!!
I just purched the top of the line MacBook Pro and learned that the Adobe Creative Suite products do not work on this machine. I contacted Adobe and they said they will not have an update until they release the next version, which won't release until (at the earlies) the end of this year. While Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign are not crucial aps for me, I do use them for business regularly.
With this being the case, I ask the mac community using these machines, should I return the computer, buy a g4pb (my TI just literally fell apart) ? Reading the board hear and various news articles, there seems to be a few issues (whine - apps - etc).
I guess I should have looked into this more before purchasing, but I trusted Apple to release products that are ready for users.
This is the most expensive computer I have ever puchased and I need it to do everything my TI PB did.
Is the MacBook Pro worth the early adopter hastle?
(thank god I haven't opened the box yet!)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

According to Adobe:
Creative Suite 2 will work on Rosetta with the exception of one componet. Version Cue Workspace (Server) does not work under Rosetta. As of Jan 31 2006 this was the only known issue with using the suite on Intel Mac's.
Adobe Systems
Creative Suite: Yes (with performance losses)
Photoshop Elements: Yes
(Adobe has posted "FAQ: Adobe Support for Intel-based Mac Computers" [intelmacsupport.pdf]
http://www.adobe.com/products/pdfs/intelmacsupport.pdf , which discusses Intel support, development, Rosetta compatibility, rough schedules, and more for Mac applications from Adobe and Macromedia.)
I would recommend that if you are going to use this program that you have 2 GB's of RAM seeing as I hear that Rosetta can be a RAM hog. Hope this helps you out.

External subwoofer not working with Satellite C55t-A5222

When I plug in an external speaker system into my laptop, the speakers work, but the subwoofer does not. I have tried two different speaker systems and have the same problem. I know the subwoofer works, because when I connect an ipod or iphone to the speakers through bluetooth, the sound is great. How can I get the same sound when the speakers are connected directly to my Satellite C55t-A5222 laptop? I have verified that I have the latest driver for my sound.

I was having the same problem, so I called Customer Service. The Tech diagnosed the problem with the Realtek HD Audio Manager. I had upgraded to Windows 8.1 from 8.0 so some of the drivers and devices my not have installed correctly, he guessed.
He went Control Panel > Hardware and Sound
Under Devices and Printers he selected Device Manager>Sound, video and game conroller>
He seleced Realtek High Definition Audio
He went to the Driver Tab and selected 'Uninstall"
He uninstalled the Realtek Device and rebooted my laptop.
After the Reboot, he went back to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound and went all the way at the bottom selected "Realtek HD Audio Manager. I don't recall if it was there before, but I assumed it wasn't since he was not able to find it previously.
The then opened up the Realtek HD Audio Manager and selected DTS Tab and clicked the 'Launch' Button. He then selected 'External Speakers and 'Viola' My External Cyber Acoustics CA-3602 2.1 Speakers including the Sub Woofer were 'shaking' my office again! YEAH!!
He said that each time I want to use the External Speakers and Headset I might have to select it in the Realteck HD Audio Manager if it is not working! THANKS "SAM" (my Toshiba Tech Guy's psuedonym)
Hope this helps you guys

External subwoofer not working on Asus n55sf notebook

The external subwoofer that comes with the notebook -- which has a proprietary audio jack connection -- doesn't seem to work.
While based on a web search I'm not certain anyone has got the subwoofer working reliably, the following Ubuntu bug thread suggests there is at least one other Arch user who has got the subwoofer working for a while (at least until the upgrade to Kernel 3.1).
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/871808
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get it working? I've tried all the possible solutions suggested in the bug. The hda_analyzer codec tweaks don't work for me. My system is up to date. I'm running Gnome 3, alsa and pulseaudio.
The output of my alsa-info.sh is http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4777d … af41b8d3bb
Perhaps I need to file a bug with the alsa project?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

A further update:
My sound chip is a Realtek ALC663. I've tried to setting the model version in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf using the following statement
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch-dig
Models are specified for the ALC663 chip at http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Document … Models.txt. I have tried the following models:
3stack-dig    3-stack (2-channel) with SPDIF
3stack-6ch    3-stack (6-channel)
3stack-6ch-dig 3-stack (6-channel) with SPDIF
5stack-dig    5-stack with SPDIF
g50v    ASUS G50V
asus-mode1 ASUS
asus-mode2 ASUS
asus-mode8 ASUS
dell-zm1    Dell ZM1 with ALC272
auto    auto-config reading BIOS (default)
I can get the subwoofer working under some of these configurations but that typically means selecting surround sound and having missing channels (I think the laptop has a left front and a right front channel and the external subwoofer, not a front centre or any rear speakers). Typically, the subwoofer, when working is linked to the right channel, so it would appear that the right channel is output through the subwoofer and the left channel through the front speakers.
I think I need to file a bug with ALSA project and hope that support for my laptop can be included in a future release of ALSA.

2 of 4 speakers and Subwoofer not working for Altec Lansing Lucasfilms THX Surround (circa 2003)

I am attempting to connect my Altec Lansing Lucasfilm THX 5.1 sound system to my HP ENVY All-in-one. I think the original audio card for the sound system came on a Dell with Soundblaster.
I have connected the green audio to the jack in the back which only gets 2 of the 4 speakers working (even after configuring the speakers). The subwoofer is connected to the sub jack in the back panel as well and is not working at all. I realize that I am trying to have an ancient sound system work with my fancy new HP Envy. Am I asking too much?? I thought maybe a driver update might be needed. But in theory, if those jacks are available in the back it should work (she says optimistically).
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Not a problem. Thank you for the additional information.
It sounds like you have the speakers connected correctly. If there is only one connector for all of the speakers, it may be that you will only be able to use two of them. However, I am not certain why the subwoofer isn't working. Is it selected in the Control Panel / Sound? I realize that you said the speakers are configured in the Control Panel, but is the subwoofer separate?
I have an old (2001) Polk Audio set of speakers. I have only been able to get two of them and the subwoofer to work with my new HP computer. It sounds fine without the other two speakers.

Subwoofer not working with THX cons

Ok here's my problems,
When I updated for the last drivers, my subwoofer stopped working when I calibrate my speaker. When I don't use this options, I can have a good sound. but when I turned in on I loose all my base. So when I play games, I don't have any loud sound on. It's becomming anoying. I've tried to uninstall and install it for 6 times, and have error from plvcore.plx or something like that, and got throught it. But now event if I uninstall physically the card. there's no way out I don't have any loudness when Calibrate the speaker.
I ran a speaker test from the speaker options and it worked (I didn't use my computer that test)
when I use my computer as soon as I have my calibrate settings I don't have my subwoofer working.
It's not the EAX redirection 'cause I used it and didn't notice a change when I jplay Games (CS) only when I listen to music.
I have a Audigy 2 zs Platinum with a Z-5500 from logitech

Subwoofer not working with Audigy

Unlike most posters to this forum, I have only a 2. speaker setup connected to my 2ZS. I recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate (32-bit). The beta drivers for my sound card are working ok, in that I can get sound (with reasonable quality), but I'm not sure if the subwoofer is working. The Vista control panel only offers 2.0, not 2. sound. Is there anything special I need to do to make the subwoofer work?

I need help.. anyone got an Idea?
