Gigaworks S750 Rear Speaker Problem

I am having problems with the rear left speak channel. I have swapped the speaker with another one and so I know its not the actual speaker, more likely the chanel or the setup. I have cheked all wire and they are fine. Any ideas?

I've found that all the connections are very fiddly - both into the sub and into the actual speakers. It might sound silly but disconnect and then reconnect everything. It seems to bring out a different sound quality everytime i do this. I've had problems with the side rears before now, but this method cured it.

  • Help with P5800 5.1 rear speaker problem.

    I have the Inspire P5800 5.1
    When I test the speakers with the Surround Mixer control panel I get the test voice on all 5 speakers. If I play a DVD with 5.1 Surround (Spiderman 2) I get no sound from the rear speakers. I have Soundblaster Live. 24 Bit. I am using ATI All-in-Wonder to play the DVD.
    What could be my problem? I beleive it should be a set up in the computer, I just don't know where.
    My computer skills are intermediate.
    Thank you for any help,
    Al

    Using the Creative software (double click speaker icon in tray) then go to speaker setting make sure that you select 5.1 Speakers. If possible, try and download PowerDVD6 this software allows you change the speaker configuration to 5.1 etc...
    You may also have this feature in ATI all in wonder. Check Audio options, make sure that 5.1 is selected or similar. It could also be that the ATI software does not support 5.1 only stereo 2 speaker.

  • Gigaworks S750 (7.1) problems

    ok so i got this speaker system just a few days ago, and my side right speaker is acting as my side left speaker, now this wouldnt be a problem is my side left was acting as side right, but thats not the case, so both side speakers are both acting as my side left speakers, i have tried switches cables around with other speakers only to result in the same thing, so any idea on how to fix this?
    thank you

    Hi all,
    I bought a Megaworks 550. It worked for yr n 3mnths. Then I bought a Gigaworks750. At the 22nd day I heard a Ttasshh sound from inside the Sub. And the system wont power up! The green LED behind just keeps blinking. I am in Bangladesh, the reseller won't take responsibilty of the warranty. They asked me to contact creative asia (singapore). Now, If I need to send it to singapore for a replacement, that'll cost me more than the price of the system. What an irony!!!
    Does the Ttasshh sound mean only a part(condenser/register) of the power supply board is gone. Anybody! Any Advice!

  • Gigawork S750 power on problem

    Hello,
    I have been experiencing problem when I power on the speakers. When I press the power button (on both controller or the box), the speakers may switch on then off and back on in a second of time. It seems like it was resetting itself and I need to set the volume again. It happens absolutely randomly...
    What is wrong with my speakers?
    Thanks,
    Harry

    I had the same problem out of the box and there are other posts with this problem. If the power light on the subwoofer stays on then your audio pod is faulty. Contract Creative customer support (make sure you fill in your adress, contact details etc. as this speeds up the process) and tell them what the problem is. They should respond telling you to send the pod back and they'll send a replacement. Mine came within about 4 days. Now it works fine.

  • The rear left plug-in of my gigaworks 7.1 speaker system is dead. Can anyone help please?

    The rear left speaker of my gigaworks 7.1 system all of the sudden stop working. I switched the speakers and the cables from the back of the of the subwoofer and all the speakers worked but when i pluged each of the speakers in? The rear left plug-in on the back of the subwoofer none of them worked. That's how i got to the conclusion that the rear left plug-in for some reason is dead. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    I have the same problem and I just sent my sub woofer at a cost of an additional $30 shipping and just got it back to find the one I got back if not the same one LEFT REAR SPEAKER DOES NOT WORK. Before it made distorted noises, now it doesn't nothing. This seems to be a repeating partern I'm seeing here and of course no info in FAQ like popping crackling noise in XFI.... Same thing with the speakers. I love the Mods recommendation, its funny when you catch them giving advice for stuff you've tried without luck and you know lightning rarely strikes twice.... Or posts twice. I'll check back if I figure something out, hope if you find a fix you post it please.

  • Creative Gigaworks S750 speaker placement

    Hey Guys,
    As I get deeper into how to improve the sound on my Gigaworks S750 I'm starting to experiment with proper speaker placement.
    So far, I have the four floor stands for the side and rear channels.
    And going by the book I have the side channels slightly past and behind where my ears are, and they are pointed toward each other, and not directly at my ears.
    The two rear speakers are both behind me, but pointed straight toward the front of my room, and not directly toward my ears.
    Is this how they are supposed to be? Or should the sides be right at my ear level and right to either side of my ears? Same with the rears? Should they be angled in toward my ears at my seating position?
    The diagram in my manual doesn't seem to indicate that the speakers get angled toward the listener except the front center above the monitor.
    But other sites all seem to want the speakers angled at the listener, unless these Creatives are doing something different to create the surround sound field?
    Here's an industry diagram vs. the Creative manual.
    Creative diagram for Gigaworks S750, unfortunately I can't scale it up larger, but refer to page 6 by scrolling down in the manual located at the link below.
    http://www.scribd.com/doc/14711901/C...ks-S750-Manual
    So which is the most optimal for my speakers? I'm using option A for my setup in the Creative Manual right now, but just want to know what I should be doing to have the sound setup correct for these speakers.

  • 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.

  • Having Problem With Inspire 5.1 5300 rear speaker...

    After using my inspire 5.1 5300 for few year... right now im having problem with my rear speaker... just one channel was unable to start... Anyone know about repairing for speaker ? I Have try to switch to other channel it seem that just that rear speaker was unable to start... all should be ok... week before i still hearing sound from that rear speaker... but now it was unable to start. Anyone Have Any Idea Please Tell Me. Thank You

    Just to clarify, by "FCP 5 friendly source material," he means video files that are a format (codec) that FCP 5 supports. What FCP 5 supports can be found in the EASY SETUP list. If the format you are working with isn't there, say if your footage is H.264 or MP4 or some other web compressed format, FCP won't work properly.  It needs to be in an editing codec if you want FCP 5 to work with it.
    Also, you need to make sure that your sequence settings match the settings of the footage you are trying to edit. If you add a clip to the sequence, and immediately have to render, that's a big clue to say that something isn't right. You should edit without rendering at all. 
    The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu. Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence.  This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with.  So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
    This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured

  • Rear/side speakers not working on GigaWorks S750

    I have a Creative GigaWorks S750 7. sound system and a motherboard which uses Realtek HD audio.
    There are four colored jack ports on the back of the sub, which are labelled:
    Green: Front
    Pink: Center/subwoofer
    Black: Rear
    Grey: Side
    There are six jack ports on my motherboard:
    Yellow,Blue, Black, Green, Grey and Pink.
    The cable that came with the sound system has four jacks on one end, and three on the other.
    On the four-jack end, they are Green, Yellow, Black and Grey (so they match up perfectly to the sub, presuming the yellow jack goes into the pink jack port).
    On the three-jack end, is Black, Yellow and Green
    I have plugged the three-jack end's jacks into the Black, Yellow and Green jack ports on my motherboard.
    Everything is now matching. I also have Windows and the Realtek HD Audio Manager set to 7.1.
    The front left, front right, front center, sub and back right work fine. However, neither of the side speakers or back left work.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Kingmustard,
    It's recommended to find out which colored audio jack is used for the front, rear, side & center/subwoofer for the Realtek HD audio. The motherboard manual should have this information. Depending on the configuration, you may need a 4 to 4 cable instead. Our default 7.1 connection setup with our Creative sound cards uses the supplied 3 to 4 cable.
    Please refer to this article.

  • Problema cassa posteriore sinistra gigaworks s750

    Salve, Possiedo delle creative gigaworks 7.1 s750 nuove da 4 mesi e una scheda creative x-fi extreme music nuova. Ieri l'altoparlante sinistro posteriore a smesso di funzionare. Ho fatto delle prove: ho collegato la cassa sinistra posteriore sul canale destro anteriore e la cassa funziona. Ho provato ha reinstallare la scheda sonora e riccolegato?l'altoparlante e il problema non lo risolto. Ho fatto l'ultima prova collegando le gigaworks s750 al decoder DDTS-100 con cavo ottico?alla console e il canale posteriore sinistro non funziona.Ora ho pensato che il guasto e dal subwoffer. Volevo sapere come mai questo problema?

    ti consiglio di portarlo alla creative per un controllo, avevo anch'io dei problemi con il sub dei T7900 e alla fine ho perso piu tempo a fare prove che portarlo a loro. Lo porto oggi e mi levo il pensiero. buona fortuna

  • Ideal power supply protection for gigaworks s750 speaker system

    anyone please help me decide on what to buy to protect my gigaworks s750 speakers from power surges or instability.
    actually, i'm confused with what to buy, AVR or UPS and what capacity, 500, 000 or 500 watts/va.. Here in our place, the power supply is not consistent that for such reason I feel the need to secure my s750 speakers, especially that it's quite expensive.
    Also, does anyone know how much power (if i'm right, it's expressed in watts) the s750 consumes, assuming it operates continuously in one hour? Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • 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.
