Creative Labs SBS 560 Stereo Speaker Set

Hi, I'm planning on buying the , saw it here:
http://www.hcw.be/hcwcs/p.asp?mscssid=&p=F793&d=L#ld
My question is, does this speaker system uses the headphone jack to connect?
example:
http://www.cewindows.net/reviews/032005.JPG
Because I have a 2.1 speaker system, and I can connect this to my xga-box (little machine to connect my gamecube or xbox to my monitor)
http://www.futuremax.nl/images/xb/bg/650.jpg
(I put the cable from my 2.1 system in the side)
And I need to know if I a) Can connect this 5.1 system to my xga-box
b) Will have sound through all the speakers, including the
subwoofer?
Any advice would be appreciated

Bruuss,
Any of the Creative soundcard that's advertised as supporting 5.1 speaker system or higher is compatible with the SBS 560 and yes, the Audigy 2 ZS is compatible with the SBS 560.
As for connecting two output device, you can get a stereo splitter adaptor so both the speaker and headphone can share the audio output jack.

Does anyone know where I can find speaker stands compatible with the SBS 560?
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

Years ago I purchased a Creative Labs Inc. Travelsound i50 speaker for a 2nd generation shuffle. I lost that shuffle, so I purchased the latest Shuffle, which obviously does not fit this speaker. Is there another similar speaker device I can purchase?

I purchased a Creative Labs Travelsound i50 speaker through Apple some years ago for my 2nd generation Shuffle. I purchased a new Shuffle, and obviously this style does not fit the speaker. Is there another speaker that can be purchased to fit my new device?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

What speakers work with the Creative Labs DDTS-100 Digital Decoder-Upto 7.1

what speakers do the Creative Labs DDTS-100 Digital Decoder-Upto 7.1 work with thanks

Unless the Digital 5500 speaker set has analog inputs it can't be used with the DDTS-100. You must connect the DDTS-100 to a speaker system through the analog outputs either from the main unit or the switchbox. I have not heard of any cables to convert analog audio into digital form so digital speakers can understand and play it.
The best speaker system? I have absolutely no idea dude. You must be the judge of that, if it is you who are going to listen to it. I like my S750 system but that is me. You have to read loads of info and reviews and preferably listen to them in a store if you can.

CREATIVE LABS READ THIS MICROPHONE ISSUE PLEASE!!!

i am having the exact same problem and i'm no compu-dummy .. this soundblaster li've 24-bit card just ruined my studio i have built in my house. i have so much equipment and i can't do anything with it because of this card i just bought. i really want it to work so bad but i cannot find the solution to my problem anywhere. i have researched high and low. i have read countless.. and by countless i mean hundreds upon hundreds of forum posts on the google boards, the creative boards, music boards, internet media boards, and boards that don't even have a purpose.. of thousands of people complaining that their soundblaster li've cards WILL NOT RECORD.
to be more specific, the card plays audio fine. plug an /8" speaker cord into the audio out.. and sound comes out of the speaker. plug a mic (and i've tried 4 different mics) directly into the mic in or line in, and you get a flat-line in windows sound recorder (as well as 4 or 5 more sophisticated programs i've tried).
my system is very comparable to the systems of most people having this problem: windows XP, P4 w/ HT, former sound usage (in my case onboard.. and yes, i've disabled my onboard in the BIOS), 52mb DDRam, fx 5900 video card w/ 28 mb, DirectX 9.0, Microsoft Service Pack , and a nice little useless at the moment CreativeLabs Li've! 24-bit soundcard.
every posting (if it has a response) is receiving the same responses that we've all tried: is input set to mic? is your mic input turned up? are there audio device conflicts in device manager? have you tried reinstalling? have you tried a different mic? is your computer turned on?
myself and countless others have double checked and triple checked all of these.. it is not the obvious but it is definatly a problem if more than a handful of people are experiencing it. i tried the creative tech support number.. the rep's only idea was to return my card for a new one.. i'm sorry, i don't think it's the card.. because there is also a few thousand people that the card does work for, while at the same time mine doesn't as well as a few thousand others.. i'm not going to waste my time hiking back to Best Buy because that simply isn't the problem.. it's too common of a problem, but it is a problem that i have not seen addressed by Creative in all of my searching.
is there anybody out there who has a clue what could possibly be causing this. please don't let this be yet another posting that gets response saying.. "duuuuh.. ummm... did you press record on sound recorder?" and then the post dies out and falls into the oblivion of other posts just like it.
please for god's sake is there a moderator or an executi've or a janitor at Creative Labs who knows the solution? because please, post it so i can create a few hundred websites linking directly to it ending the suffering of budding musicians and gamers such as myself.
please, help.. i will be monitoring this post for any response. if any further information is needed, it will be posted. if you want to know the serial number of my mouse.. i will post it.. if you want to know the name i intend to give to my first born.. i will post it.. just please.. help
p.s. i registered my CreativeLabs soundcard today ( day after purchase) .. therefore i am special
p.s.s. i kick ass at music writing.. check me out http://www.internetdj.com/collapse (the comedy section is especially good :P) AND ALSO THE REASON I NEED MY RECORDING FIXED!!!

"PS: In the future please remove advisor name before posting email from Creative on the forums."
Thank you for your input, Jason.
Here is my latest e-mail from Creative who still doesn't seem to understand that we've tried the obvious.
Dear Customer,Thank you for your reply. It seems like the recording source has notbeen configured. Let us try this: Go to Start, Programs, Accessories,Entertainment, Volume Control. Click on Options, Properties, Recordingand check the Microphone box. Check the box Microphone to select it. Then open your recording program and select the recording source. Try torecord and see how it works.For faster service please reply with previous correspondence whenreplying to this email.Best Regards,VERY FRIENDLY CREATIVE TECH WHO'S NAME WILL NOT BE SHARED WITH ANYBODY (438)Technical SupportCreative Labs Americas"Get Creative"
Hopefully this will help some of you, I have actually found the solution to my own problem, though it is a little twisted and doesn't seem to apply to other's scenarios. Here's what I did.
) Completely removed all Creative software/drivers
2) Flashed my BIOS. I don't think it needed to be flashed, just resetted. But I flashed it anyway.
3) Rebooted and installed only the Creative drivers and required software (none of the little extras like mixer or CD-Burner or any of that.. just the diagnostics tool and whatnot)
4) Plugged my mic into Line-In (the blue /8" jack on the far right on my model), selected mic (not line-in) as the recording source.
Voila!! I'm getting crystal-clear recordings and sound! I kind of wish Creative had helped me along with this instead of sending me emails suggesting procedures i specifically stated I had already tried. But you can't have everything. A nice piece of hardware and good customer service is a little much to ask for.
As a whole. I give Creatives help in this matter a 4 out of 0. And all 4 points are awarded solely because response times from my e-mail were quite satisfactory. It just would have been nice if they had researched my problem a little more instead of assuming I was having the same problem as compu-clue-less idiots.
I will continue to monitor this forum for a while and will be glad to offer any knowledge I have gained through this past week of hell to anyone who is still having problems after trying the steps mentioned in the techs emails, and the steps I took myself.
Best Regards!

Hiss, hissing sound in speaker sets like the MegaWorks 550

Over the years, I noticed that my MegaWorks 550 started hissing more and more. For anyone interested, i want to share my quest to find the cause.
First of all, i looked on this forums. There were several useful posts.
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Speake...ion/m-p/169575
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Speake...xed/m-p/184299
Based on these, I mailed customer service for some more information. Their mails were annoyingly useless. On top of that, they actually removed above mentioned posts from their forums! Here's a small summary of the mail conversation with customer support. It's so stupid, that it's actually fun to read:
ME:
Dear Creative, [...] my MegaWorks 550 [...] has a clearly audible hiss. [...] This hiss is also present when no inputs are connected and independent of volume level. The level of hiss is equal on all five sattelite speaker connections, even when objectively measured with an oscilloscope. [...] I know the MegaWorks 550 is farbeyond the warranty, but i am a trained technician and capable of replacing any part. Could you please give a hint as to what causes this hiss? Kind regards [...]
CREATIVE:
[...] To reduce static or buzzing noise from speakers, avoid placing speaker cables next to computer monitors, TV, an AC adapter, or any chargers for MP3 players or cell phones, etc. These devices have a strong field, which may interfere with speakers.
Hissing Sound http://support.creative.com/kb/showa...aspx?sid=64810 [...]
(duh, i already mentioned that it is independent of any inputs and also present with nothing connected)
ME:
[...]Dear Creative, Thank you for your answer. I read the support solution you pointed to, and i also read about eight different threads about this on your forum, suggesting several causes. I've tested the 550 in an electromagnetic Farady cage and with no inputs attached. The hiss remains constant on each of the five outputs and independent of the volume level.
It must be a problem in the electrical circuit. Since this is a very prevalent problem, I hope there's a technician at Creative who know the cause. It would be great if they could explain which capacitors or connections typically need to be replaced or resoldered to remove the hiss.
I'm, of course, very aware that the warranty of the 550 is expired, i would just really appreciate some hints on how to fix it myself. It would be friendly to the environment, to my wallet and to your reputation! [...]

ME:
Dear Creative,
I would expect a €450,- speaker set like the Megaworks 550 to last longer than the three years it did before it started hissing. However, it's beyond the warranty period, so i'm not asking for any official warranty. But surely the least Creative could do, is help me fix it myself.
I just need to know which capacitors to replace to fix it, probably somewhere in the power supply. I know that a lot of sets were sent back because of the issue, so surely there is a technician from Creative that can pinpoint the cause. PLEASE!
CREATIVE:
Thank you for getting back to us.
I'm really sorry but currently we don't provide any out of warranty repairment services.
We're unable to help you in this situation.
If you still require assistance, please reply to this email and include any previous correspondence to ensure a quick response.
ME:
Dear Creative,
I'm not asking for a repair service. I want to fix it myself. I know that a lot of people sent their Megaworks 550 back because of this issue, so there are people within creative who know what causes it. Please, I just need to know which capacitor to replace. I wont contact you after that, even if the repair goes wrong or anything.
CREATIVE:
Thank you for contacting Creative Labs.
We are sorry to inform you that we do not provide schematics, circuit boards, part details or pin-outs for all Creative products to customers. The information you are requesting is considered proprietary and are not allowed to share or release it to the general public, as it would be considered a breach or corporate trade secrets. For your reference every product information and its specification can all be found via the Creative website. http://uk.creative.com/
We apologize if this is not accommodating your need and your cooperation in this regard is appreciated.
So... i opened the case and did some more experiments. I used a variable voltage. The hiss was indeed dependent on the voltage. Since it was not dependent on inputs or volume level and present on all five speaker outputs, i came to the following
CONCLUSIONS:
- the hiss is most likely caused by the final stage of the power supply unit
- specifically: decay of one or more of the 10 capacitors in there
- this is caused by creative using capacitors of a barely sufficient capacity (too cheap). Once they decay the become insufficient.
- communicating with the customer service is a fun, but not very rational process
Perhaps i'll replace the capacitors. If i do, i might share pictures and keep you updated. Please respond if there's anyone out there who would appreciate that.

Apparently faulty new SBS 560 speakers: advice needed!

I'll appreciate any advice people can give me!
Last week, I bought a SBS 560 5.1 speaker system from an online retailer called Komplett. Having just moved into a new flat, I didn't get to test them until yesterday. When plugged in, and even when not connected to the PC, they make an alarming "humming" noise - most of this noise comes from the sub. Furthermore, whenever I turn them off, they make a brief "screeching" noise. Music played through them is a little distorted, and the humming appears to grow - after putting on a tune yesterday, I had to run back into the living room and turn the speakers off when I realised I could hear the "humming" noise from the other side of my flat.
A friend suggested that it's a problem with either the power supply or the sub. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Oh, one other thing - I'm based in the UK, and the speakers arrived with a Euro plug. Komplett provided an adaptor - just a simple plug head convertor. Is this an issue?
Thanks in advance for your time!
James
Oh - one other thing. Adjusting the bass level at the back of the speaker does have an effect on the volume of the humming. Oddly, though, the level of noise is reduced at the highest setting, and is utterly intolerable at the lowest.

Yes, they specifically fix Nvidia 330m problem, they state that the only true solution is to remove old chipset with their brand new chipset that has been apparently released by Nvidia as an update for this issue, this is exactly what they say:
What faults can we fix?
We can fix graphic/display issues relating to the 15" / 17" Nvidia 330M models in 2010 Models. These are fixed using the appropriate professional equipment.

Creative Labs Firmware Update: Zen Touch Overv

This message is to give Creative Labs a clear overview of what is missing/needs updating in the next firmware download.
) Touch Pad Sensitivity- The Touch Pad sensitivity settings need to be changed to provide a slower scrolling speed.
2) EAX Sound Features- Including EAX support just like in Xtra models.
3) Volume Synchronization- The ability to apply the same volume to all music.
I think all Creative Zen Touch users would have to agree that these are most important things to be updated.
Yes, it is possible to adjust to the sensitivity of the scroll pad, however for new users is somewhat a disappointment. Most Zen Touch users would agree that the Touch Pad is over sensiti've and that such a problem is one of the reasons users buy the iPod. Based on the reviews which potential consumers use to decide on a purchase the Zen Touch loses points to the iPod for having the over sensiti've Touch Pad. The comparison was very close and the Zen Touch lost by fraction of points which can easily be solved with an update.
The comparison result can be found here: http://www.mp3.com/iPod+vs.+Zen+Touch/stories/090.html
The Zen Touch lost by only 3 points, however the Zen Touch as everything over the iPod besides the little things such as the style, and clearly the Touch Pad.
The EAX feature is highly supported by Zen Touch users and more information an be found here:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...&message.id=88
Lastly, another key features that was included on the Xtra models, but not included in the Touch was the Volume Synchronization. This is key for Ripped and Download music. The Ripping volume is often times different from volume that is provided by the MP3 download sites. This is another feature that is worthy of upgrade.
Creative has a lot of potential right now, mainly because the features on the Zen Touch outperform the iPod yet Apple still has the market on MP3 Players. It would not hurt at all to update these features mainly because the iPod has been around longer so they obviously had more time to perfect the MP3 Player.
Thus, I encourage Creative Labs to take a lead on the MP3 market by releasing the next firmware with these updated features.
No matter how you look at it the Zen Touch should be leading the MP3 market.
With these small updates I think more consumers will purchase these players, thus increasing Creative revenue.
Please Creative you have heard loyal customers speak out, now it would be a great time to show loyalty and boost your customer service reputation from great to the best support.
If anyone agrees or support these firmware updates please post here.
Sincerely,
-Coolrulez
Thank you for listening and please update me on any confirmated releases of a firmware update.

well, I have to disagree with #3. You should actually be able to set the Sync Properties on the Program you use to put music onto the Touch anyhow. the Easiest way to do this without this, is putting all music in the same format, and in the same size. Unless the recording/file is already bad, that should do you well. I use WMP0 and all my files were ripped in the same Quality, and if not, they were automatically converted to fit the specifications I chose, which was WMA-28KBPS. And mostly it all sounds the same. Of course, the classical music I listen to quieter than the Rock I listen to, but thats normal.

Just adjust according to how you like it. Everyone preferences is different so their so called "best setting" is different too.

Installed the speaker preset for li've!surround but the only headphone, 2 speaker, 4 speaker, and 5. speaker shows up on speaker configuration of the Surround Mixer
i've played the AC3 files on the cdrom and Dolby pro logic surround, I get sound from all fi've speakers on my Denon D-850 w/ Dolby surround pro-logic
I can't use the surround mixer to test all the speakers, only front left and right speakers work on the test, i have to open to wav files directly to test the center speaker, the rear speaker test doesn't work from the wav file
My Denon system only has analog stereo inputs, so this is my only option for letting Sound Blaster know I have 5 speakers.
I've uninstalled all SB Li've software and drivers from the unipack, and reinstalled the orignal drivers and apps from the CD-ROM SBP5-CDSD-W-US MID : 32680 5-Sep-2000 and the Li've!Surround speaker setting reappears in the Surround Mixer.
Is the Li've!Surround setting no longer available in the new Surround Mixer in Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03 ?

Hooking IPOD to Creative Labs external speakers

I just purchased a set of speakers and subwoofer, Creative Labs, to hook my IPOD up to; everything seems be hooked up correctly, but no sound comes out of the speakers. The Creative Labs people said they couldn't help me, that I had to contact IPOD support, which of course, is impossible. Is there some trick to this? Is there a different cable that goes from the IPOD to the input jack of the speakers? Or what the heck could be wrong??
Please help - these speakers are for a party Saturday, 8/26!!!!!

Shame on the idiots at Creative Labs who couldn't share that bit of information, and shame on Apple for not having a phone number of anyone to contact, or at least one that isn't hidden in layers.

Creative Labs HQ-2300D Dolby headphones connections

Hi I would be extremely grateful if you can hep me with the following question. I am currently setting up my ASUS laptop for a home cinema setup and in the interest of good neighbourly relations I am hoping to use your Creative Labs HQ-2300D Dolby headphones. However my laptop has an inbuilt soundcard with the standard headphone connection (no optical connector). Will I need external soundcard with an optical connection to hear Dolby digital sound on DVD Movies through your headphones? If I do can you recommend an external soundcard with the appropriate connectors, I was hoping to purchase the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook PCMCIA Sound Card but does this have the right connectors for the HQ-2300D headphones to get dolby digital?
Many Thanks

Can anyone help?
Would an optical cable be the correct way to get a signal from the gamer card?
