Creative Inspire GD580 5.1 speakers

Im thinking about buying these speakers for use with my xbox 360. But i am unsure how exactly to connect the xbox 360 to the speaker system. At the minute i have my xbox 360 connected to my HDTV through a VGA cable, but if this poses a problem, i could easily use the HD component wires that came with the console. So any advice would be very helpful.
And another question. I was told that i will need to purchase extra cable so that the speakers can be placed correctly around the room. Will i need 2 gauge speaker wires? or will 8 gauge wires work. Im not sure what this means, but it was what i was told.

I would like to make a follow-up question to this thread.
The X-Box 360 comes standard with RCA (red/white composite) audio out. As an option you can purchase the S/PDIF (digital) audio out.
I own 2 different Creative speaker systems. The GigaWorks S750 and the MegaWorks THX 5.1 550. Both these systems use the analog mini-jack in (front, rear & sub), and the S750 also has the little "table box" with M-port, mic in & headset out (mini-jack).
Can I use any of these Creative ssystems to connect to the X-Box 360? If yes, what is the best solution and which converter(s) is needed?
Thanks in advance!

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 T6100 5.1 Speakers and Creative Vision M 30 GB

hey i wonder if you could help me, i would like to get some Creative Inspire T600 5.1 Speakers
for my vision m but i have read some reviews that you need 3 audio inputs to get all the speakers working so there isn't much point in buying them unless any of you know if there is an adapter or speakers like this in the same price range which will work fully with my vision m. also would these speakers work off a tv?thanks very much

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?).

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.
Charles

I'm also having the exact same problem, and so is a friend who has the same speaker/soundcard setup. Any help is appreciated!

No Xbox360 for Creative Inspire GD580 ?

Hi all,
i've tried everything to set up my 5.1 in my Xbox360 Dashboard, i can hear the rear sound when my 360 start, but just after, the Dolby Digital light shut down on my Inspire GD580 decoder and it automatically return on Stereo mode ;-(
My first Xbox fully works with it, but i can just have stereo on my 360...
Could someone help me, plzzz
(of course, i've plugged the optical cable on the video cable (i had the premium pack with optical output on the video cable, and i've seted up my 360 Dashboard on Dolby Digital 5.1 mode)
Thanks a lot for any help ...

Angel,
This is normal. An optical or coaxial connection is only capable of passing over a stereo PCM signal (you're getting this now), or an encoded stream (AC3, from DVDs for instance). If you are playing back a DVD then it will work provided the settings are all correct. For other audio, you will not get 5.1 over that connection. This thread has some more detail:

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.

Hello,
I have a problem with my enclosure Inspire GD580 to combine with my chart its Sound Blaster Audigy. When I play a video game certain sounds do not leave (that arrives when the plays uses the EAX), moreover when I test the high speaker using the "Creative Diagnoses" I hears only before left and right!
Do you have a solution?
I thank you for answering me.

I am connect my SB and GD580 Speaker with coaxial cable
Speaker settings (5. Speakers +"Digital output only")
But "speaker Test" gives only 2 frontal speakers.
Why do not work rest 3 ?

freeman7,
It's normal if you're using Digital connection. The audio test file from the software is not an AC3 signal. You can find the explaination in this Knowledgebase article SID576.

Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers

Im looking at buying these speakers for my boyfreind, but will they be able to work with his tv and PS3. I was just wondering if any one new! many thanks beth

The line out on your mac is 2 channel stereo. There probably is a way to wire all the speakers together but you won't get 5.1 surround, which would be a waste of all those speakers.
I think your best option is to buy a good PCI sound card. The M-Audio Revolution 5.1 has good reviews, seems good value and probably addresses your problem.

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.

But to be safe, it might be best to check with Creative and see what they recommend for connecting it to the iMac.

How to connect my Inspire 5200 5.1 Speakers to my XBOX? Pls Help!!!

Dear all,
I am in need of dire assistance to connect my Creative Inspire 5200 5.1 Speakers to my XBOX. If possible, I would like to maintain the full 5.1 functionality when watching my movies and playing games (that support 5.1 sound).
What other cables, adaptors, connectors do I need? Pls help... I am really not experienced with TV electronics, wires and stuff.

Ok, I did a search & found a post by NsOmNiA930 :
>>>
Or, you could make a custom analog adapter and get fake 5.1.You'll need 2 RCA couplers (or a coupler with 4 RCA Female jacks), a dual RCA to single 1/8 mini jack adapter, a single 1/8 female - 2 /8 male adapter, 2 /8 couplers, and a headphone splitter. It should look like this:RCA from Xbox Dual RCA CouplerRCA to 1/8" adapter(1)Female to (2)Male Adapter(2) 1/8" Coupler on Male ends of previous adapterHeadphone splitter on one of the couplersIMPORTANT! BACK MUST BE BY ITSELF ON THE CORRECT /8" END! CENTER AND FRONT SHOULD BE ON THE HEADPHONE ADAPTER! IN ORDER TO FIND THE CORRECT CHANNEL, DO A 5.1 TEST ON YOUR SPEAKERS AND CONFIGURE APPROPRIATELY!
>>>
Ok, can some kind soul translate that into English? What are all these components(adapter, coupler, headphone jack, 1/8?) What do they look like?
