Creative inspire 7900 still doesn't work after buying a new cable

so everyone told me to get the 3.5mm mini jack cable, because i only had the 3-4 cable. So i connected the 3.5mm, but still i get no sound from the side or rear speakers when i test the surround with realtek HD audio manager, only the front speakers works.

Hey Amigo, I had the same problem and here is the fix I found that works on my 7800 speakers. I believe it should work on yours since the cables are the same. First, unplug the four to three wire connectors from the back of the card and speaker amp. Then run the extra 3.5mm plug from the "black" on the back of your card to "rear speakers" on the back of your amp. (make sure your 3.5 connector is a stereo one and not phono or mono. It'll have two black rings around the male end) Then, reverse your 4/3 plug. For this to work with the existing plug you must do this. The end with the four plugs you will now connect to the back of your sound card instead of the other way around. Hook the green to green, orange to orange and the black plug to the grey on your card. Do not use the grey plug, just let it hang. Then on the back of your speaker box hook the orange to orange (center/ subwoofer), green to green (front) and the black plug to grey (side). Then on the creative control panel go to the THX setting and select your speakers to 7.1. From there you can click on each individual speaker and test them. They should work great and you are set to go. Just for info I am running the X-fi Titanium Pro and Inspire 7800 speakers. From what I see the connections are the same as the 7900's. Good luck and enjoy the great sounds!

  • Auto brightness still doesn't work after update my ipad 3 on ios 6.1

    i actually can see the slider moves right and left when i temporary cover the sensor with a finger BUT when i place ipad under really bright light (the slider moves to the right completely) and then to the dark place it DOESN'T move to the left. i've just let it stay in a dark room for 5 minutes - NOTHING.
    What the **** when apple going to fix that?

    I have the exact same problem. Just did the 6.1 update from 6.0.1 and still no fix (iPad 3).
    Once the back light brightness hits it's set value acording to the measured amount of light hitting the sensor, the screen brightness locks and stays on that level. You can verify it for yourself with a flashlight. The screen never goes completely dark either. It's super annoying. Set and forget? Auto brightness just doesn't work at all. Auto distraction at it's finest.

  • Camera app doesn't work after installing a new screen

    I have been fixing broken iPhone screens for quite some time now but have never come across something like this. After installing a new screen the camera app won't show the camera and the shutter never opens. I thought I didn't put one of the cables in right so I double checked and sure enough they were in good. I restored the phone and tried it again with no luck. I then switched out to another screen I found and the camera worked perfectly. This is so bizzarre to me but can anyone explain to me what is wrong? Or what has happened? I have never seen anything like this.

    I keep getting an error message of (0xE80000001)!

  • Dbassist still doesn't work after Suse patch

    I have followed the instructions to a tee on the Suse website on how to install 8.1.7 on Suse 7.1. I manage to install 8.1.7 EE fine, run the glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz patch, but cannot run dbassist. I either get the traditional SIGSEV error, or (after typing unset LANG) get "JNLS Exception: oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException Unable to find National Character Sets. Check your Oracle installation and make sure that the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is defined correctly."
    Can anyone help?

    This is what worked for me:
    Uncomment and/or modify the following line in /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
    NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8; export NLS_LANG
    I also added it to the /home/oracle/.profile
    When I couldn't find anything in the forums about the JNLS error I was looking at the Installation Instructions for Oracle 8.1.7 on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7, available at:
    http://www.suse.com/en/support/oracle/docs/817_sles7_install.pdf.
    On page 9 it mentions /etc/profile/oracle.sh. When I saw that the NLS line was not in use I tried uncommenting it. I'm not sure whether it was uncommenting it or ADDING the line to the .profile but dbassist now runs fine. I've been able to launch it several times - each time on the first try (provided I type unset LANG before doing so). Good luck!

  • Thunderbird keeps asking for my password when I try to send emai but still doesn't work after I enter it.

    I am using Thunderbird Ver. 35 and yahoo mail as my server on a windows 7 64 bit computer. I use the same password on Thunderbird and Yahoo. I always click the "use password manager to remember password" box. Occasionally the mail is sent but very infrequently.
    Can you help?

    it's not asking for a user name just the pass word. I can log into Yahoo mail using my user name and password with no problem. I assume the user name is the same for both.

  • Automatic reconnect missing files doesn't work after moving to new pc

    In edit-->preferences-->files there is a check box to automatically search for and reconnect missing files.  I have checked it and it doesn't appear to do anything.  Using File-->reconnect all missing files it seems to find them OK, but you need to click 'reconnect' for every file!  I have just moved my pics to a new pc so the path is different.  I tried editing the 'My Catalogue.psa" file in Access, search and replace the path, and even that didn't work! 1000s of pics! HELP!!!

    Attempted to uninstall Quicktime. The uninstall will not finish, saying it encountered a fatal error. Quicktime will not run, either.
    when a QuickTime uninstall throws that message at folks, it's usually best to try completely scraping the itunes and QuickTime program files and installation configuration information from the PC, and doing a careful staged reinstall afterwards.
    try the technique in the following post. (it includes instructions on what to do if Add/Remove isn't letting you uninstall one of the programs.)

  • IPhoto still doesn't work correctly with IOS 4.3

    Was told after last update that IOS 4.3 would finally fix Ipad and Iphone not listing events in alphabetical order, rather than just by date. Well, guess what!! It doesn't Still only shows events arranged by date. Wish I could get my old IOS back, as it always worked. Difficult to find photos with events all mixed up.

    A tech person who seemed to know what he was talking about at my local Apple Store. Guess he didn't really know. I'm really kind of surprised that it still doesn't work after the amount of discussion about this issue after the last release. Guess it's not a priority for Apple.

  • Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location, and to turn on my location settings and siri settings. These are both on and after rebooting it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location because I need to turn on location services in the settings menu and in siri. These are both on, and after rebooting my phone it still doesn't work correctly. How do I fix this?

    No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
    What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

I never had to do that before.  Even when I do log in from the computer, the download still doesn't work.  So what's going on?  Why would I need to go the computer to download an app to my phone?  That defeats the whole purpose of having the phone, which is to do stuff when you are not at the computer!@!@  Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    1.If internet is fine then this might be becase of Creative cloud files, please try the steps metioned in http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launchin g-cc.html and see if it works.
    2.Please navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db and trash it. Try to launch CC desktop and sign in with your Adobe Id (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-f iles.html) .
    {Note for step 2: The file is in the user Library, not the Applications folder. To see the hidden user Library (not the system Library) in the Finder click on the Gomenu item and then hold down the Alt / Option key. You will see Library appear between Home and Computer. Click onLibrary and then navigate toApplication Support > Adobe > OOBE.
    Alternatively open the Terminal and paste in the following and then press the Enter / Return key:
    rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db, This will also delete the file}

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Doesn't Work Windows 8.1

    The Creative Cloud Desktop App doesn't work on my PC running Windows 8.1. As shown below, no apps appear and the settings dropdown does not function with either left or right click. I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, change the name of the OOBE folder, connect directly to my cable modem by passing my router, removing all internet & firewall protection and I am unable to download any CC apps that I do not have on my PC. I have been updating existing apps from the help menus in the apps and have not used the CC app for downloads for a long time so I do not know when the problem started, but it does not work now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Automatic updates are also not working.
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Turning off "Enable Protected Mode" in the Security Tab of Internet Properties allowed the Creative Cloud Desktop App to function properly. I am still looking for a better long term solution that does not put my computer's security at risk.
