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.

  • 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

    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

  • Audigy 2 + Logitech Z680 speakers, only center channel and sub work

    I have an audigy 2 and logitech z680 speakers, and only the center channel and sub are working. I have tried reinstalling drivers, unplugging and replugging everything, i even moved the soundcard to a different pci port. Whenever i try to install any creative things, it tells me that it cannot find any required components. (anything creative). If anyone has had a similar problem or can help, i could use any help i can get. Thanks!
    Also, i recently moved the whole system from school to home, and since then it hasn't been working correctly.
    Thanks

    Ok, so now I tried to play a DVD movie with my DVD-drive. Before I got this new Audigy sound card and SBS 580 speakers, movies would run almost fine, as in the video and sound would be smooth unless there was a great deal of action occurring, in which case it would be slightly choppy. But now, the video seems to change pace, occasionally stopping entirely for a few seconds, then running again, but slowly, then running normal, then becoming choppy, stopping again, and so on. Also, the sound does the same, sounding almost normal one second and choppy the next. But the biggest deal is the fact that I don't hear any speech! I read somewhere that the center channel handles speech in video playback, and without it I can't hear any talking.
    Is the subwoofers center channel broken and should I go get another set with the warranty, or whats the problem?

  • No 5.1 surround. Only L,R,and sub working, can't find setting to adjust

    . I read the knowledge base and it said go to start -> all programs -> creative
    but creative aint there.
    I think if I can find the creative settings then I'll probably be able to figure it out from there.

    I have sound blaster li've, this one http://us.creative.com/products/prod...206&product=50
    I had it installed by a reputable local computer company so it's unlikely that it was installed incorrectly, allthough there is a chance. I don't think I have the CD so can I download the software from somewhere?
    What should I do?

    Hi mikefrompoland,
    For more information about 5.1 Surround Sound in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful (it is primarily aimed at Mac users, but the settings in Windows should be similar):
    Setting up iTunes and your DVD Player for digital surround sound

    Note: For surround sound to work, the content being played must be encoded to support it.

  • 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.

  • 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?).

  • How to re-enable Beats speakers and sub woofer after configured Windows 8/Ubuntu dual boot?

    HP ENvy DV7-7240us
    Windows 8 / Linux Ubuntu Dual Boot
    No Sound through two front Beats speakers or sub woofer both operating systems after installed Ubuntu 12.10 as dual boot.
    Is there a way to at least re-enable the Beats speakers and sub woofer in Windows 8 when I boot on that OS?  I am using the UEFI as the boot manager by hitting ESC / F9,  and not GRUB2 (Linux).
    I did update to "BIOS" (UEFI) F.22 concurrently with the dual boot...possibly this has something to do with it?
    I would like to keep the dual boot,  but the loss of the Beats speakers is kind of a deal breaker,  and virtualization of Linux seems to be buggy in its own right.
    I tried re-enabling the sound through right clicking on the speaker icon in the tray, and configuring Playback devices.  The  only option available is IDT High Definition Audio Codec.  Is there another device listing for the Beats speakers that I am missing?
    Only other minor issue with the hardware I am aware of is only on the Linux side, that being no pinch to zoom on track pad, which I try not to use anyway.
    Thank you.

    Have you tried resetting BIOS settings to default? Enter BIOS by tapping/holding F10 key immediately after powering on.Reset to Default settings, usually tap F9,check bottom of screen for correct key.Save & Exit.

  • Sound Card for Creative Inspire T7700

    What sound card do I need to have for the Creative Inspire T7700 and how do I find out what I have.
    Message Edited by amzngbac on 12-18-2004 09:09 PM

    amzngbac,
    In order to fully optimize the 7.1 speaker you have, you will need to get a sound card that support 7.1 speaker system. The Audigy 2 ZS series range support this.

  • 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!

  • I bought LR5.  They sent me LR 5.2.   ONly 5.4 and up works with my Sony A6000. Now 6 is out.  How can i get this upgrade?

    I just purchased this Light Room 5.  Turns out they sent me the 5.2 version. Only 5.4 and above opens raw photo's with my Sony A6000 pictures.  I have been on hold 2 hours. HOw do I reach a human being at this dam company!
    I'm told I get an upgrade as long as it's within 30 days of the purchase.  I have owned it for only a few days...  Can someone steer me. FYI I bought the LR5 via B&H on the internet. They told me to call Adobe.  Having trouble getting through :-)

  • 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

    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.
