GigaWorks S750 and "aux" input...

Hi I want to buy gigaworks s750, but I need to know this thing at 110% before buying: I have to connect a stereo (two channel) source (like cd-player, tape, or minidisc reader) to the port "auxiliary" on the panel near "m-port"; is the sound distributed equally on the seven speakers (and to the subwoofer) or is it played only on "front" speakers?thanks

leviathan,
The M-Port is only meant for certain compatible product only. It won't work with the Vision:M unfortunately.

Gigaworks S750 and X-Fi Elite

Hi, sorry to trouble again, the X-Fi console have a DIN output jack, does the S750 speaker have a DIN connector for input? Thanks.
Chris

Hi,
I have a similar issue but with the X-FI Elite Pro and the Mega works THX 550 speakers (the Gigaworks 7.1 range was no longer available in Australia only the much lower powered range).
The instruction imply that I should connect the DIN plug to the speaker system, which I did and now sound came through the speakers.
After 6 weeks of going through the Support Centre, it was finally noted that the Mega works THX 550 speakers need to have the wired remote connected in order for the speakers to function. The linkl between the X-FI console and the speakers was not compatibile.
This forces me to use both the external console AND the wired remote. Having said that I do get volume control now via the external consol (as well as via the wired remote), but the sound volume seem to be much less than what I would expect.
As this incompatibility is NOT documented in any of the sales literature AND even the Support Centre were unaware of it, I have been complaigning loudly.
In the process of working out a resolution, I have been advised that even the Crange are not fully compatible with the X-FI console, that is the volume control is not achieved by the DIN cable from console to Sub woofer. Not having the Mega works THX 550 speakers I can not confirm this and would love to hear the comments of thos how have both the X-FI Elite Pro and a Gigaworks speaker.
For the life of me I acnnot understand why Creative would allow the premier prodcuts in each range NOT to be fully compatible with each other and would really love an explaination from Creative (Silo mentaility perhaps between the different divisions?)
Given the problems, the Logitech Z5500 series sounds a better option, even if you are forced into switching off the decoding functionality on the X-FI sound card.

Help - Need Line in and Aux inputs active at the same time..... Audigy SE

The company I work for purchased 3,000 of the Audigy SE? SB0570 sound cards to replace our aging original SB6 PCI cards used in our call centers. The application and Hardware require that the AUX connector and the Line in connector are both acti've at the same time in order for things to work properly.
Problem is that when I go into the mixer settings (or windows volume controls) when I select one of the inputs to go acti've, it mutes the other two inputs (mic, line-in, or AUX). Does anyone know of a work around to let me activate the AUX and/or Line-in/Mic at the same time??
Our workstations run Windows 2000? (but as a test, I?loaded up another PC with XP SP2 and it exibits the same problems)
Thanks in advance for your help.

We are using the internal AUX in connector to take audio from a vendors custom card, and at the same time we have to take audio in on the flexi-jack input on the rear of the card. The original SB PCI cards we have been using for 5 years allowed us to do this, but these new ones do not. I wrote an e-mail to Creative Tech support and here is their response: Basically it is a no go, so I am now looking at other manufactures that can support our requirements. Good news is that I contacted our supplier today and they are willing to take back all of the cards that are still sealed in their original packaging... about 2,800 of them.

Gigaworks S750 and LFE

I work with Sonar and I need to work with ASIO driver and separate channels.
Everything works well, I can manage any single channel but LFE have a logical problem.
I can send input to LFE channel (port 3/2 on my audigy 2 platinum pro) but it doesn't make too much sense seen that all the low frequencies in the other channels are in any case send to the subwoofer. So if I mute the LFE channel I can still hear the bass going to the subwoofer and if I open the LFE channel the output to the sub is doubled.
Any way to handle this issue?
Thanks!

XM Radio and Aux input

2003 Honda CR-V. Would like to install a portable SeriusXM device and an outside antenna. The XM device cost I can determine from the Best Buy on line catalog.... just wondering about the cost of installing the antenna and device interface in my car.

Hi Jackson42,
I'm always a bit reluctant to quote a price because I can't see what all might be involved for your specific car. I use to work in a store and I always felt more comfortable talking to the Install Bay tech about pricing. I would recommend stopping in to the store and talking directly with the techs. I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Gigaworks S750 Power Requirements

Hi,
I'm planning to purchase the Gigaworks S750 to use in my car, which I can link up to the X-Fi PCI Card I have in my car's computer system and I was wondering what the power requirments were.
Could someone please post details on the Gigaworks S750 power supply:-
Input and Output; Voltage, Current, Frequency and any other possible details.
Hopefully this system might be able to run of the power inverter I currently have installed, which takes 2V from the battery, converts it up to 240V then the PC and Power Supply for my current Inspire System converts it to the required amounts for input.
I was expecting to have to upgrade my power inverter, as it's only 600W constant and 800W at peaks. The PC System takes away around 250-350W leaving only 250-350W for the speaker system.
I expect I'll be upgrading to a KW Power Inverter, but if needed I can always go with the 2.5KW Inverter; just hope my cars alternator can produce enough juce.

Thanks for the info, that's all I needed to know. Looks like the Gigaworks S750 is going to need between 660W-720W of power, so a KW inverter should cover it.
I've considered using a car audio set-up, but they typicaly only have 2 channels. Atleast with the Gigaworks S750 I'll be able to expereince the full 7.1 surround sound experience. I'm probably not going to be going to keep my X-Fi card for long though, it's entertainment proccesor has gone faulty and I no longer have any Rear-Left sound for some strange reason? So I've switched it to the gaming mode proccesor for the time being and all channels are now working once again.
Personally, I think the X-Fi is too advanced for it's own good, so I'm going to RMA it and downgrade to a slightly less advanced 7.1 sound card, which hopefully won't encounter those sorts of problems. As I've done some re-search and people have had all kind's of problems with X-Fi sound cards.
Thanks for the recomendation though, but I find the computer far more usefull than any other car audio set-up's. I have wireless internet access which automattically connects to the nearest wireless access point, typically with-in 50 meters, using a 9Dbi antenna. The computer also has a DVD player, TV and FM Radio, a 60GB hard disk, a small touch screen LCD mounted on the dash, GPS with voice directions and many other random features which I personally would rather not do with out.

Problem with gigawork s750 speakers

I was wondering if someone could help me? I have the gigawork s750 and x-fi elite pro. When I play music only the center,side,rear left and right speakers play all the songs. When I do the check they all work, but I still have no idea how to make them all work at once? anyone help me would be greatly apreciated
thanks,
tuggy

Can you confirm that the individual speakers are all working correctly by swapping them around to see if the fault follows the speakers or remains on the channel where they were. If the speakers are ok, then there maybe a fault with the sub woofer or sound card. You could check this by using different speaker system to verify the sound card or connect the speaker system to another sound card, but both are time consuming tests.

Help connect X-fi Elite Pro with DDTS-100 and Gigaworks s750

Hi,
I purchased a brand new Gigaworks s750 speakers system, DDTS-100 decoder and X-fi Elite Pro. I connected the DDTS-100 and Elite Pro using Optical Fibre output from the audio console of X-fi Elite Pro to the optical digital input of DDTS-100. With the cables supplied with s750, I connected it to the Decoder DDTS-100. The problem is I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers and the front speakers. Only the centre speakers and the side speakers are producing sound. I could hear loud hissing sound and very very low volume of the music from the front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. I can hear good quality sound from the centre speakers and average quality sound from the side speakers. What could possibly have gone wrong with my setup ? Somebody please help me. Thanx in advance.

Hi Richie,
Thanq for your response. But unlike what you have mentioned, ("what may be happining is the soundcard is decoding the signal and then the ddts is trying to decode it with disatrous results"), In my setup the signal is not getting decoded two times, once by Soundcard and once by the DDTS-100. As I have mentioned that I am taking out an Optical Signal from the sound card to the DDTS-100, the signal comming out from the sound card to the DDTS is Encoded signal only. So there doesnt arise a chance that the signal is getting decoded twice. Can you think of any other reason why my setup is not working? Please let me know.
regards,
Rahul M

X FI elite pro and gigaworks s750 no sound from speakers but sound from headphones please h

hi
i own an x fi elite pro and a gigaworks s750
thing is i recently had to format my computer, before which i was getting surround sound through my speakers and headphones normally.
however i can now only get sound through my headphones.
I have the latest drivers installed and i am bald due to pulling all my hair out
if you can help please do
appreciated

realwiz,
There's a setting in the mixer software where it instruct the soundcard to mute the speaker when headphone is connected to the I/O dri've bay. Perhaps you can check if that setting has been enabled.

GigaWorks S750 7.1 - Interference and Volume issue

Please provide assistance,
I recently purchased a the Gigaworks s750 along with Creative's Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
Here is the problem I am encountering:
When using it for any type of audio, DVD playback being the worst, I get a great deal of interference when turned up past 50% volume on the Gigaworks controller. And to get any sound, I have to have the volume of the controller connected to the sub at a minimum of 50%. If there is no audio, when turned up the interference is totally unbearable.
I have the audio on my PC turned up to 100%, and this goes for every form of audio controller on my PC. If any one of these audio controllers on my PC are turned down, I get very little audio out of the speakers at all?
Is there anyway to get rid of this noise? I would like to have my DVD movies or games with the ability to play at a reasonable volume and be able to hear the fine noises that make a surround sound system worth purchasing. At this point when turned up, 80-100% of volume on sub volume controller, I get so much interference that the only time I can hear decent quality sound is when the sub and music are loud enough to cancel out the annoying interference?
Please help?
Sincerely,
Poor creative customer

I would recommend the G550W if you don't want to risk the S750, I have an S750 set, had to have the sub replaced a single time, but was no trouble at all and only took like 4 or 5 days for the new one to arri've, sets been running perfect for more than a year now

Gigaworks S750 + Audigy1 - Only hear left channel in left and right speakers

Since last week I'm the proud owner of a gigaworks S750. Since my new computer went RMA I decided to hook it up on my old computer with an Audigy (SB Audigy E400) audio card.
The original Audigy drivers come with this test program that tests all channels saying "front left", "front right" etc etc through the respecti've speakers.
However, when running this test program I hear the "front left" message through both the front speakers, and the "rear left" message through both the side speakers.
The "front right" and "rear right" messages I don't hear.
I've been looking through the settings of the audigy and reading the manual of the Gigaworks set, but nothing turned up.
My old Philips 4.1 speakerset did not have this problem, so my guess is it's something with the gigaworks.
Thanks

U sure the speakers are set to 7.1 ? BTW u need Audigy 2 ZS or Audigy 2 Platinum to make all your speakers make the correct sounds. BUY A NEW SOUNDCARD!!!

What's the difference between an audio INPUT and AUX object?

Can someone explain the difference between an audio INPUT and AUX object? They both seems to do pretty much the same thing ... when would you use 1 over the other?

revDave:
Suppose you're recording a guitar track and you want to add a very gentle compressor to avoid overload during the rec process. you need an audio input channel with a compressor inserted. this way, your guitar will be recorded with the compressor processed. If you use audio and midi gear and want to bounce your material, put all your midi audio in an audio input channel.This way, you don't have to use a real audio channel to record them. You can hear them, even use some plugins, and have them bounced with your audio channels.
Now, suppose you recorded three vocal channels, and want to use an equalizer. You need an aux object to send your vocal channels and use only one eq. This is very useful when you have similar materials recorded in diferent channels (2 guitars, vocals, pete/sax/bone, and so on). Send their outs to an aux object, insert the fx you want, and set the aux object's out to the main out of your project, and it's done.
I hope it helps you.

My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

I had the same issue. Initially i thought i need to take it to apple for replacing the aux port. But luckily I was able to fix it by resetting the PRAM . To reset the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
You can try this before you take to apple store. It may work if you are lucky. Good luck

Sound Blaster Sound Cards and Gigaworks S750

I recently purchased a Sound Blaster Zx sound card and found that it only supports up to 5.1 speaker configurations. That means I don't have sound from my side speakers in my Gigaworks S750 7.1 system. Needless to say I am very disappointed with Creative Labs engineers wondering why 7.1 support has been dropped from their very own speaker systems. I am posting hoping some more knowledgeable forum members can offer a better solution to my dilemma.
I could go back to my X-Fi Extreme Music card which has all of the 3.5 mm minijack speaker connectors but I would rather not do this as support for this card has been dropped and I am doubtful that there will be many more driver and/or software updates available. I would also rather not buy a new speaker system b/c I am happy with the Gigaworks and don't really want to replace it.
I looked going back to an older Titanium HD soundcard but it only has RCA connectors on the back of the soundcard and the Gigaworks connectors are 3.5 mm minijacks. The Gigaworks has no optical or HDMI connectors anywhere. I wonder....can I connect the 3.5 mm jacks from the Gigaworks to the RCA or optical ports on the ZX or Titanium HD with an adapter or converter? Does Creative sell new cables or adaptors, or any special audio shop for that matter, that would make the connections work?
Can anyone help please?
Thanks!

As I said, that upmix is only a workaround, you still have just 5.1 discrete channels, just that the rear and sidespeakers emit the same sound.
I don't have any experience with Asus or Auzentech. Both have their issues as well but they are both very good and only the very best creative cards (X-Fi Titanium HD, ZxR and perhaps X-Fi Elite Pro) can compete.
On the other side Asus has most of their cards in production for half a decade without alteration and doesn't update their drivers very often as well. Their don't be as many issues as with creative cards, but you will find people having problems as well, it's not like they work flawlessly for everyone.
Same for Auzentech, only they didn't produce as highend cards as Asus and some Creatives (Titanium HD and ZxR only) plus while their dirver support seems to be good, their other support is nonexistant, especially since they seem to have stopped producing soundcards. Additionaly I have heard of the X-Fi Forte mysteriously dying on many people after some years.
The differences aren't great, though, and in my opinion you won't find a soundcard combining everything to perfection. The ZxR nearly does, only lacking 7.1 output.
The Asus Xonar STX is very similar, but can only ouput analoge stereo, while the PCI-based ST can output the very best analoge 7.1 available with a additional daughtercard (but who wants a PCI card nowadays?).
The best 7.1 cards from Asus, D2 and D2X, lack a Headphone-Amp, while the Xonar Xense and Phoebus, being nearly identical to each other, have one but use a slightly lesser DAC for all channels apart from Stereo, similar to the Auzentech X-Fi Forte and Bravura.
The D1 and DX finally are only slightly better than the X-Fi Music and Titanium, because they use a slightly better DAC for Stereo, which is used on Audigy 4 Pro and X-Fi Elite Pro for all channels and for stereo on the soundblaster Z and Zx.
Everything below (Xonar DG(X) and DS(X)) ist far inferior, though the DG(X) sports a cheap headphone-amp even the D2X lacks.
So, if you only want 7.1 as good as possible, the Xonar D2X is the best solution, followed by the D2, Auzentech X-Fi Prelude and Creative X-Fi Elite Pro.
But, if you want to drive very good headphones, too, the Xonar Xense, Phoebus and Auzentech X-Fi Forte will be the better solution.
None of them will be as good as the ZxR, if you can live with discrete 5.1 only.
The minijack cables aren't an option. Just when you connect your Gigaworks to any Asus, Auzentech, Creative X-Fi Titanium card or most onboard codecs you have to use 4 stereo minijack cables, while for any Creative 6.1/7.1 card from Audigy 2 to X-Fi PCI-series you have to use a special 4 stereo to 3 4-pin minijack cable, which probably came with your gigawarks set.
If you want to use any "normal" sound card you don't need any special cable, it's just 4x any normal stereo minijack cable.
