Creative Inspire 6.1 Speakers Green Light on remote is dead

the green light on the wired remote is dead
When I do turn the sound on, the green light is still dead. But I do hear a very loud static hissing noise.
Its impossible to play anything through these speakers. I'm guessing that this may be an ac adapter
problem? Could it be fixed by just replacing my current adapter?
Thanks for your time folks.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the reply. In answer to your question, yes, the adapter does feel warm. You are probably right that the problem lies within the subwoofer or wired remote. However, I noticed I got the same harsh, static sound when i disconnected the creative speaker systems and connected the computer with my own stereo system. Could this mean that my soundcard (an SB Audigy) is also faulty?

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.

My Creative Inspire 6.1 speakers aren't producing any sound!

I have an Audigy2 Platinum Ex with Inspire 6.1 surround speakers.A few weeks ago, I stopped getting sounds from the speakers. The green light was on, and when I plugged in some headphones I could hear sound. Also, I have my system connected via a S/PDIF to a 5.1 receiver. This only allows me stereo sound (unless I play something pre encoded with Dolby 5.1/6.1 or DTS). I'd like to know WHAT IS THE MATTER!?!
Thank you for your time.

Okay... I plugged the head phones into the VOLUME CONTROL/CONTROL POD of the speakers. All the cables are attached. I just ripped, er I should say unplugged everything and and retried from scratch. Same problem.
I think the Sub/LFE hub died. That could be the only possible explanation. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING A REPLACEMENT?!? Do they even sell these anymore? I understand that they have been discontinued. What do I do? Can I send it in to you as an RMA?
Give me alternatives... PLEASE!

Dustin,
On the first point, when you say you plugged in headphones and they worked, do you mean you plugged them into the soundcard directly, or in the volume control/control pod of the speakers? Try them with another source if you can, and make sure all the cables are attached properly.
On the second point, this is normal. The connection you're using (coaxial or optical SPDIF) can only pass over a stereo PCM signal, or an encoded stream. You can read up more on this topic here.

Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers and notebook problems

Hi,
I have my digital 5500 speakers connected to my old desktop computer which has the Audigy soundblaster card and the whole system works fine - mostly. I would like to connect the speakers to my notebook as that system is much more efficient and I feel wouldn't freeze during playback of music like the desktop. However I have a Realtek AC(7 soundcard in the notebook and when I plug the Creative speakers in I get no sound at all. If I use my cheap 2 speakers it works fine. I guess maybe I need to reconfigure the notebook but have no idea if this is possible and if it is how to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions please? I am using XP on both systems. I have been to the Realtek site but there seems to be no support there.

Gilli
What is the connection type you used for the notebook to the speaker? Coaxial/Optical/Line IN?
Try using a Stereo minijack to Stereo minijack cable to connect from your sound card front audio jack to the Analog Line In on the decoder. Ensure that you have selected the Input source to 'LINE IN' from the decoder box.
Your best bet would be to check with your notebook vendor for additional assistance as you may need to enable certain setting from your notebook.

Creative Inspire 5200 - Rear speakers echoing effect

The front 3 speakers are fine - sound is normal, crisp and clear. But the 2 rear speakers have sorta fuzzy echoing thing going on... it's kinda hard to describe. And I just want to know is this normal... Maybe creating a surroudn sound illusion thing... ?

Hey budd would you try a bios update and see if that don't help all you need to do is visit the computer companys website if it's a brand computer and look for there support page then downloads and bios updates but if you built the computer or some one else did then get the motherboard model from them or google search for software that can find the model and junk like that and see if you can get that bios upfated and after you update it preset the bios to defaults then try the sound again and see if that don't make a diffrence?
You just may have to get a new soundcard as well for the sytem to work with the card. I hear a lot about them 5.1 cards having problems with some of these new suround systems and it seems to be a incompatibility isue but thats up to you I mean if you wanted to try you could hook the speakers to another computer and see if you get better luck and if so you know it's the card
Good Luck and sorry if this is not what kind of news you were looking for but this is all that I can come up with

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 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 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 T900 problem, just 2 front speakers work when connect to a laptop

Hi everybody,
I have just bought a Creative Inspire T7900 system, it's in good quality I think.
But I just got a laptop without 5.1/6.1 or 7/ sound card ( one output only ), therefore i cannot use the 7.1 Audio Cable.
I tried to use a stereo-to-stereo cable to connect my laptop to the input in the wired remote but only the front satellite speakers work. Is that a problem with the Wired Remote ? Or the problem with the system ?
Can I laptop use all the speakers ?
Please help me, thank you very much.

thanhvtd86,
There isn't any problem with the speaker system nor your laptop and it's normal. Stereo consists of only 2 channel and that's why you are experiencing output from only the two front speaker. You won't be able to utilize the full capability of the speaker if you don't have a 7.1 capable soundcard.

I've got a green light but express not connecting to speakers

I've configured my express to my home's wireless network and its attached to my stereo and speaker inputs via rca cables, but when I try connecting to them via iTunes Airplay drop down menu, i can't get no satisfaction, or connection. There is a solid green light on my base station. Am I being stupid and missed the obvious? I have tried setting the base station up as a wireless network itself and connecting that way, this didn't work either. I created the network but got no connection, all I got was intermittment amber flasing lights on the base station. Anyone have a clue? The basestation is plugged a metre away from the the amp and speakers on the floor, will this have anything to do with issue?

Hi markwmsn,
Thanks alot for your comments! I've responded below IN CAPS. Short but by no means sweet, as I think I might have to buy some AirTunes enable speakers, and maybe a new express?
I don't think the distance between the express and the amp or the fact that some of the equipment is on the floor is relevant so long as they are wired together correctly (usually express output -> amp input & amp output -> speakers) and the correct amp input and output are selected. I'M COMING OUT OF THE EXPRESS VIA A MINI STEREO TO DUAL RCA CABLE INPUT
The flashing amber light when you put the Express in "Create a network" mode just means it couldn't find the internet any more. Rejoin it to your home's wireless network or connect it by ethernet. YEAH I REALISED STRAIGHTAWAY AND CHANGED BACK, WAS TRYING ANYTHING
When you try connecting via iTunes AirPlay, does the express not show up in the list of speakers, IT SHOWS UP BUT DOESN”T CONNECT does it show up but not connect, or does it connect but not play?
Have you enabled AirPlay on the express? YES
Have you selected on the amp the input to which the express audio output is connected? I CAN’T DO THAT ON THIS AMP, I PLUGGED RCA’S INTO THE EXTERNAL INPUTS
Thanks again, if you have anymore thoughts, they'd be much appreciated!

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.

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?).

Airport Express has green light but won't connect to remote speakers from Macbook or iPhone

Hi,
I have a 6-7 year old airport express that I have used frequently as remote speakers for my macbook and 2 iphones. I am currently having problems with getting this to work in my new flat. It worked for a few weeks and now he green light is on but the remote speakers time out when i try to connect to it.
Sometimes the airport is visible in itunes/iphone and sometimes it isn't. when it isn't if i unplug it and leave it a while it appears again but i cant connect but the green light is always on.
It's all set up properly so I don't know if it is just getting old and I need a new one or whether this can be solved.
I have reset this numerous times
Thanks in advance!

I've solved this by resetting my wireless internet connection at the box and then setting up airport express again.
I don't know whether that will help you.....

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.
