G550W rear speakers not working (but were previously)

I have a blue light on the wireless receiver but getting no sound to the rear speakers. I've checked wireless interferance, speaker wires, etc. I've restarted everything many times and reset everything to defaults. It was working just fine a week ago. Do these wireless receivers go faulty? Is this a known issue? Where do I send them in for a new receiver? Thanks!! Bill

I have a similar problem too. But mine is that the rear receiver couldn't power up at all. There's no blue light or any activity. I tried changing power chords and power points but still nothing from the receiver. But the problem is that its no longer under warranty and i wonder how much will it cost for service. I really dislike the fact that Creative's website did not have a Customer Service hotline for me to call and enquire about such things. Instead they use online email forms, which are crap if the customer service officers choose to ignore them. I sent my enquiry 2 days ago and till now, there's not even a slightest news from them!! Really lousy service.

  • V7.0.0.70 - Rear speakers not working

    Having just updated to iTunes version 7.0.0.70, my rear speakers no longer work although they're fine with all other applications, just not iTunes. Even my Creative diagnostics say everything is fine.
    I've been into QT and set the audio preferences so that "Sound Output" is:
    Rate - 44.1 kHz
    Size - 24bit
    channels - 5.1 (L R C LFE Ls Rs)
    ...and still nothing. The front and centre ones work fine.
    Reinstalled QT...nothing....Did a repair install and got the rear ones working but then had terrible distortion. Decided to trash iTunes and QT and reinstall, and now I'm back with no rear speakers
    I'm running XP Pro SP2 (fully patched)
    Anyone any ideas....please.

    There seem to be loads of people with this problem, unfortunately there's also a deafening silence from Apple. Maybe their product testers are down the pub, where they clearly were when V7 was being developed. Are Apple the new Microsoft ????
    I've gone back to 6.05 and HURRAH !!! all my speakers work again.
    Moral of the story here is "if it ain't broke..." and if you must update then carefully reveiw the forums and web before taking the leap into the unknown.

    Hello, please can anyone help me? My iphone 4 has stopped ringing out or making any other sound through speakers, although I can still use it to make calls & can hear people when I phone them. I've tried resetting it & also powering it off but it has made no difference. Does anyone have any solutions that may help me please?

  • My laptop speakers are not working but my headphones work fine

    I have an HP Pavilion g6-1d73us laptop and although my headphones work properly the speakers do not. This is a recent problem.  I have tried troubleshooting with windows troubleshooter with no results. I have checked all the drivers for audio and they check out fine. I have tried driver software with no success. Windows Media Player does not work. I get an error message when I try to use it. What else can I try?   Carl

    Hello @hifive11,
    I have read your post on how your notebook speakers are not working, but the headphones work fine, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    The first step I recommend is to follow this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7). This should help to restore the sound to your speakers. 
    You can also enable the speakers on your computer as the default playback device. This can be done by following the steps below:
    1. Click the Start button
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. Click on Hardware and Sound (sorting the control panel icons by "category"), and then click on Sound
    4. Under Playback, you should see one or two speaker icons. One of them should already have a green checkmark next to it (which will be your notebook's headset device). If the second Speakers icon is not visible, right-click in the list of devices and select Show Disabled Devices
    5. A second, disabled icon of "speakers" should appear. Right-click this icon and click Enable
    6. Test your speakers
    If the issue continues, I recommend returning your notebook to a previous restore point before the speakers stopped working. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • My speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up

    my speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    4. Reset the NVRAM.
    5. Reset the SMC.
    6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Java currently not working, but was working previously. Change occurs around updates.

    I need Java to upload info to a GoDaddy website. Java was working in January, then did not work. It worked again after an update, then stopped working about the time of another Firefox update. Currently, Java is not working, but I am able to upload thru Internet Explorer. I seem to have the latest Java for Firefox installed, it is enabled so I am at a lost. Did an update not install properly? I am really at a lost since success and failure seem to be tied to Firefox updates.

    >
    You should be aware that this is a forum for discussion for Java developers. It is not an end user support forum.
    At any rate your issue is a problem with the site in question. "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: PChatPanel" means that resources the program needs cannot be found. This is a problem with that site and you will have to address it with them in order to resolve it. Nobody else can help you with this because it is a site problem and beyond our control.

  • Rear Speakers not functioning properly on X-Fi and Audig

    Hello, I'm having an issue with my rear speakers. When I do a channel test, the rear outputs comes out the front speakers. It says "rear left, rear right" from the respected speakers in the front.
    There is no sound that comes from the rear speakers unless I upmix it CMSS2 on the Audigy 2 and Stereo Surround on the X-Fi. When I do a channel test in this mode, it says "front right, rear right" from the right set of speakers and "front left, rear left" from the left set of speakers. There is no seperation of the individual speakers.
    I also have this same issue with the output from rear speakers not functioning when I plug it into the onboard sound card and do a channel test. It's not the speakers because when I switch the green and black plugs in the soundcard, the rears work when plugged into the front output of the soundcard, so the the speakers are fine. I've even plugged headphones into the rear jack and get the same results.
    Here's my computer specs:
    Gigabyte GA-8NSLI ROYAL
    Pentium 4 640
    2xGB Patriot DDR2 700
    XFX 6800GT
    SB Audigy 2 and SB X-Fi XtremeMusic(currently the X-Fi is installed)
    Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 500
    2xMaxtor DiamondMax0 300GB RAID
    2xMaxtor DiamondMax0 300GB
    Plextor PX-740A
    Lite-On LTR-4025S
    Kilpsch ProMedia 5.
    I've tried disabling the TV card and the on-board audio, and that doesn't fix the problem. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers numerous times without any luck. It's driving me crazy not being able to play games or watch movies without true 5. surround. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I have the same problem.
    I have a set of Logitech Z-5300s hooked up to a creative DDTS-00, and the X-Fi Platinum breakout box attached to the DDTS-00 via coax.
    Front right is also rear right, and front left is also rear left.
    There are other threads which have touched on the issue of digital streams like Dolby and DTS not being output in 5. surround (which is a bummer).
    BUT, I am trying to do this using CMSS...is this not possible? I dont understand why CMSS wouldn't work over a digital connection, it's one of the selling features of the card!
    Is the CMSS stero xpand option doable using the coax outputing to the DDTS-00? It would be really lame if it couldn't seeing as I upgraded from my onboard Soundstorm (which could do surround) to experience higher fidelity music while in surround sound...Message Edited by Ashram on 2-3-2005 04:4 AM

  • Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
    I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
    Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

  • Built-in speakers not working

    Please help;
    Built-in speakers not working after using audio port to run remote speakers.
    I tried using the FAQ in iTunes to solve problem. Built-in speakers will not play sound.
    Under system prefs., sound, the device shows; Digital Out under port; Built-in Output
    Under settings for the selected device;
    The selected device has no outpt controls.
    When I adjust volume the sound level meter shows level on high but cancelled out (circle w/ slash).
    I notice RED LIGHT from inside sound port. Sound works when headphone are plugged in but not external speakers.
    thank you for any advise.

  • Can't connect to websites with any browser. Bookmarks do not work but bookmarks  through bookmarks edit works just fine.

    Can't connect to websites with any browser. Bookmarks do not work but bookmarks  through bookmarks edit works just fine.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • TS1574 optic digital port can't be shut off and the sound of speakers not working! what to do?

    optic digital port can't be shut off and the sound of speakers not working! what to do?
    this happened after taking out the head-phones. Now even after pressing CMD+ALT+P+R when booting - the sound of booting appeares BUT after the desktop is ready the sound doesn't work and sound buttons show the sign "circle with crossed line"

    If there is a red light visible in the audio output port, the switch id stuck.  Insert the earphone jack a few times.  If that fails to trip the switch, try a toothpick or similar device and jiggle it inside the port.  If that fails, try a shot or two of compressed air.  If still no success, go to a repair facility.
    Ciao.

  • Pavilion G6 2016TX -WiFi is not working but bluetooth is working

    Hi,
    WiFI on my Pavilion G6-2016TX  is not working, but bluetooth is working. I do not know what happened. Screen shot of device manager is attached. In the list i could no find any WiFi devices.Please help me to resolve this problem.

    Hello, @vizz007 
    I see that you're missing the wireless driver from Device Manager. I will try to assist you with this.
    Were any changes or updates made prior to this occurring?
    Did this just recently occur? If yes, start by doing a system restore.
    You can also installing the driver, start with the HP Support Assistant. If this doesn't allow you to install a driver, then you can try from here: HP Pavilion g6-2016tx Notebook PC Drivers.
    If you cannot get the driver to install this way, try the HP Recovery Manager. This will allow you install the original factory installed driver.
    If that doesn't work, then you may want to test the hardware. This document can help you with that: Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista).
    Let me know how this goes for you.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Thinkpad T440 : Speakers not working only headphones

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem with a Thinkpad T440, there is no sound! it is looking like the speakers are not working, but when i plug in the headphones the sound come through the headphones.
    I upgraded the drivers, tried to reinstall the OS but unfortunately nothing helps.
    Thus, i disassembled the laptop and tried to figure out where the problem is? i find out that the speakers are working! I tried other speakers and the same thing happening > no sound
    I tried to plug/unplug the headphones jack connector many times but without success
    the headphone jack is apparently good at first sight!
    Did anyone face the same issue that i am having?
    Thanks in advance for help
    Solved!

    Thank you for your reply, I appreciate your help I tried this but it didn't help me
    But I fixed my problem, I was increasing/decreasing the volume from the tool bar it wasn't working! I but I could see the waves when I put some music playing and no sound nothing was coming.
    So I tried to deactivate the volume from F1. After that I increased the volume from the toolbar and hopefully it was working! so i figure out that the F1 and the sound card wasn't really syncing.
    Thank you for your time and help
