Creative Live! Speaker Setti

I use a 2. speaker set up and for some reason I can't choose anything but 4. on my speaker settings in the Audio HQ. I've linked a picture as well so you can see what I'm talking about. Hopefully you guys can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Have you try uninstalling and reinstalling again from the CD? You can follow the Cleansweeping steps (under Standard Troubleshooting) mention in this FAQ thread.

Live!Surround speaker setting not showing in surround mixer for SB Live Platinum

the Li've!Surround option for speaker settings in not showing in my Surround Mixer
i have:
Windows 2000 sp4
SB Li've! Platinum 5.
ASUS CUSL2
Sound Blaster Li've! - Li'veDrvUni-Pack (English) SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US 28-Feb-03
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 ?

so I found this post...
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...7?dmode=source
it seems Li've Surround is no longer supported in the new drivers
....so what would be the best setting to play ac3 files or DVD's through my receiver with only 2 analog inputs (left and right) available w/ Dolby surround prologic. Should I set it to 2 speaker or 4 speaker setting in the Surround Mixer in order to send the best signal to the prologic decoder on my receiver with 5 speakers (2 front, center, 2 rear)

My sound card is working properly, and all of the drivers are installed, I just cannot seem to access the features that the CD allows you to, like the equalizer or bass boost.

Creative Live Vista IM (VF0420) Problem, PLEASE HELP!

Hi
I use Freetrack to play Airplane Combat Simulators, it's a program that uses the WebCam and a hat with 3 LED to simulate the head movement inside the cockpit.
I'm using Creative Live Vista IM (VF0420) installed the CD drivers and it works perfectly with the Freetrack and all the other programs.
Recently i've bought a Joystick (Saitek Aviator), so I installed the drivers on the CD plugged in the Joystick and it was also working perfectly.
The problem is that now the camera it's not working and the only way to get the camera working is to unplug the Joystick and restart the computer.
After the restart I tested the camera and it was working ok, but again, just after I plug in the Joystick the camera freezes the image and stops working until the next restart with the joystick disconnected.
Resuming, this camera only works when the joystick is disconnected since the computer restart. LOL
I'm using Windows XP 32 Bit + SP2
I tested with other webcam (also Creative) and had no problems working with Freetrack and no conflicts with the Joystick.
I see no conflicts on the Device Manager.
Anyone with the same problem or with the solution please reply.
Thank's in advance.

I have a dual boot sys, I installed SB drivers in win98se and it worked well. no problem (although sound card specs didnot said its compatible with win98)
then I installed drivers to winXP sp2, it worked well untill i used cd rom.whenever cd rom is reading data sound gets very distorted (sound is from Hard disk files; mp3 wav, ..). I used different players problem remain,in games the sound distorts when cd runs.cant play a Audio CD, sound is too distorted.
I have changed the Sb's PCI slot and booted first the problem was gone, then restarted and problem remained.
I have questined creative support but no answer.
Please help me !!
If you use cable between CD-ROM dri've and sound card, disable the "Enable Digital Output ...." setting on Device Manager --> DVD/CD-ROM dri'ves --> your dri've name --> Properties --> Properties -tab. If not using cable, then try with cable instead (disable this setting then).
Check if DMA transfer is activated for CD-ROM dri've(s) (try if enabling/disabling it makes any difference).
Disable the Creative CD-ROM detector (service).

How to install presets purchased from Creative Live? [Question]

I purchased a set of presets from Creative Live, and can not install them as instructed. I have Windows 7, AdobeCC, when going to user's file then to the only file with "Roaming" is under Public, then to Roaming, Adobe-shows only Extension Manager 2-Illustrator CS4. This is not what the instructions say at all anywhere! I have tried to make a folder on Desktop with the included presets, then tried to load them into PS, edit import/export and nothing happens. Please help I have contacted Creative Live re this & they said they cannot help & others have had no issues.
Message was edited by: TLEIDIGH

What happens when you try to go to “%APPDATA%” in Windows Explorer? I would expect the Roaming folder exists for every Windows Vista/7/8 user, not just Public, but the AppData folder, itself, is hidden, so you may not be able to navigate with clicks in Explorer, unless you turn on the viewing of hidden folders:

I made an Arch installation on USB which isn't affected by this sort of problem. Unfortunately I'm not able to find the differences to trace the flaw.

Partially solved:
Nvidia packages block the normal user access to /dev/video*

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! [...]

If you have further questions, comments or concerns please include them in your reply. Thank you.

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.

Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 with Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard?

I have a Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 with Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard, but the front-middle speaker does not work!
It's not the speaker self who is defect, I test this by switchging the connector on the subwoofer with the rear-middle, then the front-middle is working right.
I have switched to 5.1->6.1 on the subwoofer.
What can cause these problem?
Audio cables wrong connected to the audio-card?
I use Windows 98SE as O.S.
thanks in advance!

Try enabling the CMSS feature of your 5.1 Live! sound card, You could refer to our Knowledge for more information on CMSS.

Using 5.1 surround sound speaker set with my laptop

1. HP Pavilion DV6-6150EW QA944EA
2. Windows 7 Profesional 64 bit
This is my laptop.
I want to buy a set of 5.1 surround sounds speakers (most likely some cheap and popular creative inspire Inspire T6160).
My question is will they work with my laptop? Ill have to just plug cable from that speaker set into my 3.5mm jack socket on the left side of laptop (where i usually plug in headphones) and it will work?
Or this laptop dont have 5.1 sound?
I didnt found what sound card it has, all i found is that its beats audio and IDT High Definition audio codec (driver date: 2012-03-23, driver version 6.10.6395.0).
I would appreciate help sice i dont want to find out that if i buy speakers they wont work (or only 2 speakers will work).

Hey there,
I would recommend using one of these USB audio processors: http://goo.gl/5z9Gm
This is just the first one I found so do you research to see which one fits your needs the best. I looked at your laptops spec's and could not tell if you had any digital output connectors. HDMI will also transfer digital audio, it just depends on what your trying to accomplish.
Hope this helps!

Make sure you're using an original apple ipad charger and plugging into a wall outlet to charge, not computer.
Its possible that the charger is bad and may need replacing.
Its also possible that the battery has gone bad and it may need replacing.
Apple does offer battery replacement, you will have to send to them or take it to an apple store.

Before you do that though, I would recommend reading through these links first for some more information on how your battery works, needs to be charged and maintained.

Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

ITunes Automatically Change EQ Setting Based On Which Airport Express Streaming? I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different

I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

I'm in the same boat. I have a 6 zone amplifier running with 6 airport expresses to different rooms inside and outside the house. Each has it's own acoustic characteristics. I'd really love to be able to set each airport to equalize based on my SPL frequency sweep I did for each room.
Setting the eq in itunes won't do it as that is global plus I have many more sources for auiod other than itunes that use the AEs directly.

Hi,
Depending on brand and model of the 5.1 speakers. The machine only has the following list of ports:
Multi-format digital media card reader for MMC and SD cards
1 VGA
1 HDMI
1 headphone-out
1 microphone-in
1 USB 2.0
2 USB 3.0
1 RJ45
That means you only have 1 port for speaker. The best option is to buy an USB sound card.

Creative Live wireless webcam - DDNS or any other outside access doesn't work

Bought the Creative Live Wireless webcam. Works inside my network, but DDNS server offered by Creative has been down for weeks now, so I can't use this service. The remote IP access also does not work, since the webcam doesn'y assign a remote IP (it states 0.0.0.0).
No support infor on Creative web page at all, they don't even list the product. I feel like this is all a big scam....
Can anyone provide insight in how to the this product to work?
