Creative Megaworks 550 5.1 surround sound problem

I Recently used a LOGITECH USB HEADPHONE accesssory instead of my speakers and when i disconnected the USB HEADPHONES the sound from my speakers was cut off. There was no problem at all before but it seemed to emerge when I used the LOGITECH USB HEADPHONES and now my speakers won't work at all. When i press the "mute" options on my Audigy 2 ZS I can hear sound for a split second then it fades away. Please help if you have ANY idea of what is going on!!!!!

Gorge,
Does this problem persist when you unplug the USB headphones? What I think is going on is your USB headphones are taking over as the default playback device which shuts down your Sound Blaster card.

  • Surround sound problem

    surround sound problemF hi,
    i have a creative t7900 8 speaker surround sound setup. back in august i purchased a x-fi soundblaster extremem audio sound card.
    up until yesterday it was working fine. i opened my pc up after disconecting all the cables and gave a it clean with compressed air. upon setting it all up again im not gettin surround sound anymore.
    no sound is comin out of the fornt centre speaker or the two rear ones. bizzarely when i run a speaker test and test both the side speakers, no sound happens. the strange thing is when i test the two rear speakers the sound comes outa the side speakers. i've swapped the rear and side speakers in my subwoofer and the speakers are defo working.
    i even reverted back to my gigabyte motherboard to see if the problem was with the sound card but the same problem exists. i have updated all sound drivers. i've checked both manuals for the MB and sound card and im positi've the cables are plugged in correctly.
    has anyone had a similar problem? this is seriously doin my head in.
    help

    oddly enough I had the same issue a while ago, and someone at my house switched the audio language to spanish preferred and cnn didn't come out but every other station did.
    it may or may not be the same situation but give it a try
    menu > settings > audio > audio language.    english preferred   put a check mark there by highlighting it and hitting ok

  • Creative Inspire 4.1 4400 - surround sound

    Creative Inspire 4.1 4400, Can I enjoy surround sound? If yes, please tell me the way to test the surround sound from the speakers. Is there any tool or softwares to test the surround sound from the speakers?
    Note: I don't have any sound card in my computer.
    Thanks
    S.P. Stalin.

    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.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Surround Sound Problem - Please He

    Hi, I have been using The Audigy 2 ZS sound card for over a year now, I have all the latest drivers installed and everything is updated.
    My problem is, for some reason my 5. surround sound just stopped working. I did not change any of the settings, in creative settings or the control panel. All the cables and wires are plugged in to the correct spot. I checked the control panel and the creative speaker settings, and both are set at 5. surround sound. I have done the channel and noise tests with the speakers and I get sound in ALL of the speakers, yet when I try and play music through itunes and sound through games, it is only in the front left and front right speaker. Al lthe programs I have tested with have the 5. surround sound set in their options.
    Like I said, the surround sound was working fine two days ago, and without changing any speaker settings or unplugging any cables, the surround sound stopped working.
    I have looked through other threads trying to find a similar problem, but I did not turn up any good results. If you find any other threads that have a solution to this problem just link them and I will take a look at them (and sorry for the repeated thread).
    Thank you for your time.
    Edit: Anyone help? Message Edited by Cofer on 09-20-2006 09:07 PM

    What happened is when you installed the new itunes 7 it messed around with all of your files for the sound check and as a result when u are using sound check your speakers will not work correctly (I just fixed this problem). To fix it, simply go into the edit menu, then preferences and then click on the playback tab. In that tab the third box you can check off from the top should be sound check. Simply uncheck that box and you should be fine.
    Good Luck

  • Surround sound problems with X

    When testing surround sound in the SB control panel, all speakers work fine. When running any game/application that has surround sound, sound only comes from the 2 front speakers. This includes DVDs with the AC3 audio decoded on the PC, and games that worked in surround flawlessly with my previous sound card (onboard ALC888 based chip). Any ideas?Thanks!

    Hi.
    You can only play stereo audio through optical output for uncompressed audio format. To be able to play more than stereo through optical, you need to be playing compressed audio (dolby/dts). You can read more about this in this thread. http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/Digital-Connections-SPDIF-and-Dolby-Digital-Info/td-p/45857

  • Surround sound problems with new 15.11 software

    Firstly I would like to give a big thankyou for getting the new IP recording software release out it is very welcome.
    Unfortunately this has highlighted even more the surround sound issue for me. All my tests have been done over optical (if anyone could repeat the tests over HDMI it would be very much appreciated just to see if there is any difference).
    Here are my findings so far with a small amount of testing.
    BT TV on Demand
    HD 5.1 movies appear to switch correctly
    SD and HD none multi surround movies appear to play in stereo from the start needing the menu/surround workaround applying to get surround sound as is the same for the tv box sets and kids on demand.
    IP Channels
    HD sports channels i.e. BT Sports 1,2 and ESPN (I have hidden the SD versions so haven't tested them) appear to a switch to surround sound correctly
    All other channels start in stereo and require the AD button on/off workaround to switch to surround sound.
    IP Channel Recordings
    Here lies the real problem for me now. Any IP channel recordings (not tested sports channels yet) start in stereo and require the AD on/off button workaround to switch to surround sound BUT as soon as you apply a fast forward or rewind when it starts to play again it has switched back to the stereo feed which is a much higher volume. I hope you can appreciate how annoying this gets that everytime you fast forward/rewind a recorded IP channel to sound switches and starts playing at a higher volume until the workaround is applied (everytime).
    Obviously the freeview channels all appear to switch and work fine.
    I am sure there is more to find but I just felt it worthwhile getting the issue highlighted AGAIN now the recording ability increases the visibility of this bug.

    Maybe slightly harse as with more testing I am not sure if this is a youview/humax issue and is a problem on the catchup player on youview retail also. I have added below to my first post slightly with a few more findings and some clarity. 
    When I say surround sound what I am talking about is the Dolby Digital track (this can be 5.1 or 2.0 but in 2.0 format my amp can encode that with pro logic 2 and make it sound like a reasonable surround sound track through my speakers).
    After testing through HDMI sound I find that this is even worse and in most cases will not transmit the Dolby 2.0 track at all even using the workarounds.
    The freeview HD channels work flawlessly as do the BT sports HD channels (all 3 inc ESPN) (non-HD freeview channels do not appear to carry anything but standard stereo so can't switch no matter what). If anyone has a surround setup check the difference in volume between channel 001 (BBC non HD) and channel 101 (BBC HD) this I believe is the difference between the standard stereo channel and the dolby 2.0 stereo channel.
    All IP channels (except sports) fail to automatically select the Dolby 2.0 soundtrack unless forced, as do the catch up channels (tested during programme playback as no Dolby during the adverts) and if recorded switch back to standard stereo everytime a skip/rewind step is made.
    Most on-demand content fail to switch automatically to the Dolby 2.0 track but can be forced with the exception of some HD movies with 5.1 soundtracks that appear to work without a workaround.

  • 6.1 surround sound problem

    I am running digital out of the Sound Blaster Platinum into a 6.1 surround sound home theatre system. When I test audio I only get sound out of the front left, right, and center speakers. When I go to test the rear speakers the sound check comes through the front.
    If I play a audio file. I do get sound out of the rear speakers.
    Speakers are hooked up correctly to the home theatre system. I get surround sound if I play a DVD through the DVD player but not through the computer.
    Any ideas on what that problem is or how to correct it....
    onboard sound is disconnected

    I have the opposite problem, but i think is the cable i'm using, i haven't found an original for 6.1 speakers. i can get noise test sound in all 6.1 channels, but i can not get sound sub when i play music
    what cable do you used?

  • ITunes and 5.1 surround sound problem

    The iTunes won't play my music in 5.1 surround sound. Now my PC is equiped with sound card capable of producing 5.1 surround sound and my windows media player is playing my music files in full surround sound. iTunes on the other hand won't do it for some reason.
    All my sound and audio options in control panel are on 5.1 surround sound so i don't know what's going on with my iTunes...also all other programs play my audio and video files in full surround sound.
    How do i get the iTunes to play my music in 5.1 surround sound?

    If the files are just standard stereo MP3 files, iTunes is only going to play them to two speakers. Windows Media Player may do some kind of procesessing of the stereo signal to simulate surround sound and play to 5.1 speakers, but iTunes does not do that.
    iTunes will play true DTS 5.1 channel audio files under certain conditions, but those are special files, not just standard MP3s.

  • 5.1 surround sound problem.

    Why does it have to be optical out? i dont have optical out, but i have 5.1 surroundsound connected to my computer what is the problem?

    With HDMI attached to your computer, go to system preferences, then sound, then output, then select HDMI as "type" (instead of "optical"). Alternatively, hold "option" key, then click the little speaker icon in the bar at top of screen and select "sound preferences."

  • Creative Megaworks 550 failing front right channel?

    Hi,
    I recently noticed that I get no sound from the front right channel.. The speaker itself works if i plug it into any other "position" but i can't get any speaker to work in the front right position..
    This is my second pair of megaworks.. (The first ones started making funny noises.. when you bumped the sub it would start working again, but then after a while it stopped working completely)
    Do you get a renewed warrenty when you get a new pair?
    /Peksa

    Most companies will give you either 90 days after you recieve your speakers back from RMA as a warranty or will continue the warranty you had for the original set, whichever is a longer period of time.

  • Why do Creative no longer make Surround Sound Speakers?

    It's been years since Creative made any high-end surround sound speakers. Why has nothing new come out in the meantime? No 7.1 speaker systems or 5.1's in absolutely ages.
    Can any Creative Rep tell me if Creative will be making 7.1 speaker systems with Digital Optical inputs or are you guys just gonna stick to producing 2.1's and 2.0's from now on?

    But is there any reason why Creative stopped making high-end speaker systems? Was it no longer lucrative enough to produce them?

  • Guide : Getting 5.1 surround sound. Audigy 2

    Hi all
    I thought I would write up a really quick but effecti've and simple guide for owners of the Audigy2 ZS and seeing how its Xmas time, I can assume a few lucky boys and girls may have this awesome card under the tree.
    Most of whats covered should work with all creative products.
    (Sorry, but I WILL NOT cover any info regarding encoding media or the like that will conflict with copyright laws)
    This guide is for setting up your Creative Audigy 2 ZS for surround sound 5. reproduction and information in regards to required Filters/Codecs. I have not included any advanced set up options or the like as the ZS with the set ups I have incluced here will cover it out of the box.
    One of the most common issues people may have with 5. not fuctioning correctly while playing a DVD movie ( Mpeg ) or any multi channel media that is 5. encoded, has to do with Codecs/Filters.
    Most media players will not decode all AC3filters/Mpeg, thus require extra filters/codecs/plugins to be installed.
    Ok , the first thing to do is ensure your sound card and speakers are set up correctly.
    Most common speaker sets have 3 plugs that go in the back of your card .
    EG, Logitech X-530. Pink = Front Centre.Black = Rear left and right. Green = Front left and right.
    Ensure they are in the correct place and are tightly fitted.Ensure your sound card is secure and tightly in place.Make sure your speaker cables are tidy and not a big tangled mess.
    Ensure in device audio controls that SPDIF passthrough is NOT ticked as this is for optical output ( the ZS pro with rack fuction )
    Update to the latest drivers an media source ap
    ps.
    A few little things to set up first in Creative Mixer Control Panel to ensure cleaner sound:
    Lower Master and Wav volume in Creative mixer to about 90% as to avoid any over dri've disstortion.Lower Master Bass Volume to about 90% to avoid over powering the bass.Ensure that your speaker settings Windows control panel and Creative speaker settings match your speaker set up..
    Also run the THX Speaker Callibration test in basic mode.
    YOU SHOULD DISSABLE CMSS IN EAX CP IN ORDER TO GET 5. TO FUCTION AS IT SHOULD.
    CMSS is to be use only for a MONO or STEREO source/signal. It is for sending the stereo/mono signal ( left and right) to all speakers. This is not 5., mearly it is the same signal sent to all speakers to give you a more rich and vivid sound reproduction of an other wise flat source.
    Turn off any EAX FX.
    Things you want to do to ensure stable use:
    SHUT DOWN CTHELPER:
    A background task that is a plug-in manager for Creative drivers. A 3rd party manufacturer can use the CTHELPER plug-in interface to produce drivers, add-on features, and fixes that will integrate with a tighter fit with Creative?s sound drivers and utilities. Gi'ven its purpose CTHELPER would normally be classified as a "leave alone" background task. It also allows Creative speaker setup to be synchronized with Windows Control Panel speaker setting. Without it running that check box in Creative speaker setting is not functional (settings are not in sync). Unfortunately there are often problems with CTHELPER, most notably that it can use 00% of CPU time so it's best left disabled unless you REALLY need it .
    Type in run "msconfig" and shut down all Creative Start up entries. Infact its proberly best to shut everything down.
    NOTE: Any essentinal Software for the proper fuction of devices ,Eg: Razer mouse utils should be left on.
    Simple Bios settings to help improve audio and stablity:
    Dissable Pallette Snoop.ANY AND ALL shadows for devices, EG VGA BIOS and system bios should be dissabled. If you have the setting for PCI latency in your bios ( AGP boards only ) set it to 64, if its already at 64 try 32 .
    Shut down ( remove, reconmended ) any 3rd party tweak apps that run in the background.
    EG, Cache Man and any monitoring software.
    Ok, now for Filters/Codecs and Plugins.
    A major required Filter is AC3. (ac3filter__0a_rc5)
    AC3Filter - it is DirectShow filter for AC3 decoding to play AVI with AC3 audio tracks and MPEG2 (DVD). Required for WMP.
    NOTE: If you have DVD software that should play encoded 5. then make sure you have any updates/patches for the player installed and go through the tools/options for the player and ensure its setup correctly to decode AC3filters in the applictions tools menu.
    If you use Cyberlink Power DVD you may need to pay an extra fee to get the required AC3filter/MPEG2 decoders to fuction as all 5. sound settings may be greyed out on some dated versions.
    InterVideo WIN DVD ( this software suit comes with most "Asus" if not all makes of Mainboards. This suit comes complete with the required codecs/filters so get full surrport for 5. - 6. - 7. out of the box. Note: you must set it up first under audio options as it defualts to 2..
    If you use WMP0 you should download and install the AC3filter or get the latest XP codec/filters packs. With out these filters you may not get 5. sound and/or poor reproduction.
    Supported file types:
    The following table lists the file types (formats) supported by Windows Media Player .(For files type played by Power DVD or WIN DVD please refer to the makers website or read me file for a detailed list).
    File type (format) File name extension .
    Music CD Playback (CD audio) .cda Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) .aif, .aifc, and .aiff Windows Media audio and video files .asf, .asx, .wax, .wm, .wma, .wmd, .wmp, .wmv, .wmx, .wpl, and .wvx Windows audio and video files .avi and .wav Windows Media Player skins .wmz Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) .mpeg, .mpg, .mv, .mp2, .mpa, .mpe, .mp2v*, and .mpv2 Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) .mid, .midi, and .rmi AU (UNIX) .au and .snd MP3 .mp3 and .m3u DVD video .vob Macromedia Flash .swf Microsoft Recorded TV Show .dvr-ms*
    NOTE: WMP defualts to 2.. To enable 5. run WMP0. Click on tools then point to options. Navigate to DVD then open up the advanced window. In here is everything you need to set things up.
    NOTE: If you mess things up simply return to defult settings and start over.
    Some common errors you may encounter with WMP.
    Error messages are identified by numerical IDs, such as C00D0BC2 and 800704CF. You can determine the ID of a specific error message by clicking the More Information or Web Help button on the error message when you encounter it. The resulting page will indicate the error ID.
    : Error's C00D6A and C00D9A while playing DVD's or MPEG-2 content.
    This is directly related to either your current video card drivers or the MPEG-2/DVD decoder you have installed (EG: PowerDVD, Win DVD etc ). Reinstalling and/or uninstalling the MPEG-2/DVD decoder (PowerDVD, Win DVD ) and/or video drivers should fix the problem for you.
    You should now be able to re-install you decoder ( Power DVD etc ) and continue its use.
    Erro : C00DAC:
    Cannot play the file Windows Media Player cannot play the protected file because there is a problem with your sound device, such as a sound card or sound controller. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons.
    Your sound device requires an updated driver. ( update driver )
    The selected sound device does not support Secure Audio Path (SAP).
    If you have multiple sound devices installed on your computer, try using a different one.
    To use a different sound device, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Devices tab. Double-click Speakers, audio device to use, click a different device.
    Error : "divide error in module IVIAUDIO.AX at".
    Only exists in systems that have various Sound Blaster Li've sound cards and WinDVD installed.
    This is infact a compatibility problem between these products. The problem is realized when MP3 oriented applications call upon certain sound card services making it look as though the error was raised from within the application in question.
    FIX:Uninstall WIN DVD. Reinstall WMP and AC3 filter and then reinstall DVD WIN.
    A simple but rare issue.
    ModName.Win DVD "msvcrt.dll" and/or Win DVD MFC application error.
    FIX:
    Uninstall any java filters. Macromedia and Macromedia Acti'veX.
    ( to remove Acti'veX go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files and delete the Acti'veX )
    What are codecs Codecs/Filters.
    Codec stands for Coder/Decoder. Basically it is a piece of software or a driver that adds a support for certain video/audio format for your operating system. With codec, your system recognizes the format the codec is built for and allows you to play the audio/video file (=decode) or in some cases, to change another audio/video file into that format (=(en)code).
    For example, when you install Windows to your home computer, Windows installs automatically most commonly used codecs into the system, so you don't have to download them separately from their vendors. However there are some codecs that are widely used, but not installed by Windows. Most notably DivX , MPEG-2.
    Get all the Codecs/Filters/Plugins you could ever need from:
    http://www.free-codecs.com/AC3_Filter_download.htm (ac3filter__0a_rc5)
    http://www.free-codecs.com/
    NOTE: ( XviD-.0.3-2022004 for Divx ) Stand alone codec for playing Divx instead of the Divx full install.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...0/default.aspx
    Ok, you now should be all set.
    However Codecs/Filters/Plugins are like any other kind of software installed and things can go wrong. If things are not working as they should try the following.
    Download and install "Gspot"
    http://gspot.headbands.com/download.htmlBuild 0307 - 23 KB Run the programme and simply point to system and select "List Codecs and other Filters"
    Its a no brainer really to know whats what here and how to use it to find out the source of the issue, if you have one. If its red, its bad so you then need to trace the Filter/Codec to its source and remove it.
    Here is just one very simple excample you may encounter and how it was fixed.
    If you have ffdshow file is missing error pop up while running a player application, first go to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and search for ffdshow.en. Its proberly not here though. If it is just leave it be.
    NOTE: ffdshow is used for AVI/Xvid enc/dec source.
    To fix this "ffdshow Video Codec file is missing " error Simply uninstall your Xvid codec or your entire DivX programme, or any other Filter/Codec you have installed for playback of DivX files and AVI Video Files.
    (Some times it seems a few Codecs/Filters dont get along so you must be aware of what you install).
    Cheak "Gspot" again and Filter should be removed from the list.
    Now you can reinstall the Xvid filter "XviD-.0.3-2022004" or your desired DivX programme.
    Now go back toC:\WINDOWS\system32 and search for ffdshow.en. It should be there if it was not before. If the issue is back try a different version of required Filter.
    So, thats just excample of a simple fix that got everything working again. Its not to hard to find out what the problem Codec/Filter is and then its just a case of uninstalling it. You can re-install the Codec/Filter but you should double cheak with "Gspot" and ensure the issue has not repeated itself .
    If it has you can try and find out if the issue is related to another type filter causing a conflict or use an alternate Filter/Codec that will perform the same task .
    Search for an updated version of required the Codec/Filter also.
    Ok, thats pretty much the basics in getting correct and stable 5. sound working the way it should with your new Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
    I hope this has been of help.

  • Where's the surround sound test program gone?

    With  HD surround sound problems still ongoing for me, i need to run the test program again to try something, but I just can't find it anymore.
    I've looked in all the obvious places - has it been erased?

    Hi Spec_d,
    To change the audio settings on the vision box please try the following:
    Press BT Vision on the remote
    Scroll right to Settings
    Press Select
    Select general settings
    Highlight and select 'Digital audio output' from the options
    Current Audio output is shown by the tick displayed next to the appropriate option
    To change the audio output type, navigate to 'Stereo'. A tick will move to the desired audio output method selected. To confirm the changes made, highlight 'Save' and press select.
    Let me know if this has helped you at all.

  • Creative speaker settup test problem.... surround sound test prob

    OK this seems to be a hard concept for the support staff at creative to grasp so hopefully someone out there can help me..... OK? I have a Audigy 2 XZ platinum sound card with?the creative?7. speakers. it has worked fine in the past. recently when I go into the speaker setup and do a test to see if all the speakers are working correctly.... front left...front center...front right.... now this is when things get stupid.... rather than it continuing to the side right speaker..... the side right "sound" comes out of the front right speaker.... and it does the same for the rear right.... then to the rear left but this time it comes out of the front left speaker?and the same thing for the side left. I did a reinstall of windows and did a speaker test.... I was happy to see that it was fixed all the correct sounds were being heard from the correct speakers. I thought this was over with until I just ran a test again and it is back. It seems that all surround sound features don't work, none of my games nothing. if anyone knows how to fix this that would be awesome.... it is really pissing me off.
    things I have tried....
    I have tried completely removing all drivers software and my sound card hardware and reinstalling everything..... does not work. I have tried to install new drivers..... no good. I want to say that after I installed the new updated drivers is when it started acting dumb. Anyways thanks for the help in advanced.

    well I have been trying to figure this out... I am pretty sure its something to do with the drivers.... when I go in DXDIAG and run the sound tests it is saying that my Audigy 2 zs does not support hardware buffering? it seems that it is using the generic sound driver rather then the correct creative driver... I jsut dont know how to fix it.
