Creative Inspire P380 Problem

Hi,
I have recently purchased these speakers off eBay, and the bass port makes a really annoying noise. It is almost a 'chuffing' noise, like a really deep rattle, sort of like a plastic 'wollowing' sound. Sorry if that doesn't really make sense - it's hard to explain! I have opened it up and everything seems to be OK, and I do know a lot about speakers. It is REALLY getting on my nerves, and it stops if I turn the bass down, which shows that it's probably just air pressure etc, but if there any way to prevent this? I like a lot of bass in my music, and have it set to about 3/4 most of the time. Thanks.

Plus I have the Logitech Z506 now, because those speakers were so crap.

  • 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.

    Jep,
    Then what you will want to do is contact support directly and tell them what you have found about the speakers (front speaker out not working properly). They should arrange an RMA with you so you can send it in for repair/replacement. Here are their contact pages:

  • 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 T6100 - I got a problem, pls help me!

    I just bought a creative Inspire T6100 system, but I got a strange problem.
    I can hear just from the rear left and center speakers, all the others are muted. Every wire is perfectly connected to my phase 22 with 3 jack connectors. I tried to disable the basic soundblaster in the motherboard(I got an asus P5K), but it's the same... nothing changed...
    Can someone help me pls?

    Hi Freddy I read your problem , here I have a solution for you . If you are using your motherboards existing inbuilt sound card then you arerequired to check the balance level. to check balance level. to check the balance you please click on start > control pannel > then click on " sound & audio devices"? In this menu click on " Advance" here you will found balance level of both master volume & wave . checkbalance sould be at center level. secondly go into your cards application software and select 5.1 or 6.1 speakers,to check the sound take a headphone and attach each output of sound card if sound is coming both channels then it meanssound card is ok. Check your T6060 speakers audio leads should be fully Inserted into sound cards socket. If your are using creative sound card then set it to factory default setting and check the problem will be automaticaly solved. Creative T6060 speakers are 5.1 speakers & it requires proper sound card . It is recomended to install creative Sound blaster5.1 or Creative Audigy Value sound card for exelent performance.

  • Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 Sound Problem

    I have a Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM) (Audigy 2) and the speakers are Creative Inspire 6.1 6600. The sound goes down when the selector of volumen is between 3 and 4. I need to increase the volume to make it sound again, but it goes down again. What`s going on?

    Does this problem only occur in certain programs? Because I have a similar problem with my sound suddenly dropping without warning. But it only happens when I'm playing music in Windows Media Player. If it does have something to do with the media player then I suspect it could be the "WOW effects plugin." I hope this helps, or at least narrows down your problem.

  • Creative 6.1 Inspire 6700 - Problem with the volume (amplifier unit / plate)

    Hello everybody!
    I have bought a Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 on January of 2004 and yesterday I found out that the amplifier unit (which is on the back side of the sub) is malfunctioning.
    Actually when I try to turn on the volume from the wired remote control the sound is heavily distorted and the green led is very dim (not bright like it used to be).
    The power adapter is good, the fuse inside the amplifier plate is good, so it must be something within the amplifier unit / plate.
    Can anyone throw some light into this? Do you know if I can buy from somewhere, just the amplifier plate?
    Thank you for your time and effort!

    I think i might have the transistor problem but how do i know if its blown or not? Sorry but i'm not electrical engineer :P
    Just look at the plate from the bottom side. Probably you will see some spot or region of yellow color (burnt out).

  • Creative Inspire T6100 Connection Problem ...

    Hi,
    I have just purchased the Creative Inspire T6100 and intended on using them for my Laptop, I am not so good with technology but I bought these speakers purely because of the good reviews it had.
    The PROBLEM I have is that when I connect the 3 wires i.e. Black, Green and Orange , I only have space for one headphone jack on my Laptop as a result sound only comes through two of the fi've speakers. I realize that all 3 headphone jacks must be plugged into my laptop, but I simply do not know where to place the other two.
    Therefore I was wandering is there some sort of device which would allow me to connect those 3 wires into my laptop. Perhaps some sort of 3 to converter
    (Please remember I am a complete Novice on technology)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank You

  • Inspire P380 wired remote not working...

    hey guys
    juz recently bought the inspire p380 2.1 speakers from the SITEX PC Fair in singapore.
    btw, im from malaysia and now im having problems with the wired remote
    it has loose connections on the jack connector (the green thingy)...
    and the sound produced in the speakers is kinda... fussy
    the wired remote did work for a couple of weeks b4 this problem appeared...
    so my prob is, its hard for me to claim my warranty and send this back for repair
    coz i bought it in singapore and the staff there told me if i want to send my product for repair, i will have to go back to the main creative HQ in singapore
    or a creative service centre located in another state here in malaysia, which is like 2 hrs dri've away from my place here
    so how am i suppose to claim my warranty?

    I am diagnose the problem, it's due to the new firmware so if Creative read this, can you put the remote control compatibility in new firmware? !!
    how did you diagnose the problem? unless you have 2 identical zen player. one with latest firmware and another with older firmware to actually test it to confirm it's the firmware problem. I'm still incline to believe either your player is faulty or the remote is faulty and the problem is not due to the player firmware.

  • Inspire p380 volume control

    Hello, this is my first post here.
    I have a little problem:i have connected my old inspire p380 speakers to my xbox 360. The problem is that having done that, i cannot set the volume because the volume wheel is on the cable that goes from the speakers to the pc, which cannot be used with the xbox 360.
    Is there another way to set the volume?
    Thanks in advance?

It's constantly making the sound go in and out, loud then quiet, and when you try to change or touch the pod it even cuts off completely.
    Is there anyway I can get this replaced or am I going to be stuck with a perfectly good set of 7 speakers + a subwoofer that can no longer be used? After searching this problem and finding many others have had it, I suspect the latter. =/
    Thank you
    Hi sandsglands,
    This is an old speaker model. However, I still suggest you contact Creative Support for any possible replacement of the volume control pod.

  • Probelm with Creative Inspire T6100

    Hello everyone, I'll really appreciate it if someone could help here. Just bought a new PC with sound card on board.Motherboard is: GB P35-DS3 /P35/LGA775The sound card is Realtek High Definition Audio. Along wiht the PC I got a 5.1 channel speaker system - Creative Inspire T1600. I installed the latest drivers for the sound card, also made sure the speaker system is plugged into the sound card slots as per the user guide and yet there is no sound coming out at all from the speakers. I also tried plugging out the speaker system and plugging in a normal pair of headphones, still no sound?.... I have re-installed the sound drivers a few times and there is no indication the issue is with the driver. Please help. Thanks a lot

    Hey, thanks for your reply but I've figured it out. It was a problem with the sound card driver... It works now and it's great!
