I-Trigue 3400 Volume control Unit replacement

I need to order an I-Trigue 3400 "volume control unit". Where can I find one ?
Regards,
S.S.

As far as I know:
1) If you have speakers with still valid warranty, you can try to contact Creative Support and probably they'll send you a new remote control. You'll have to write them first, though, and send them the serial number of the speakers. Check the 'Support' section on this site.
2) If warranty has expired, nothing can be done. Creative will not send/sell you a new remote control, even if they have one in reserve. You can try ebay, or you can throw the speakers away...
I recently contacted Creative Support. I asked them if I can buy a new satellite and/or a new remote control for a quite expensive Creative Megaworks 250D 2.1 THX set. They refused, because speakers are out of warranty period, and they don't sell spare parts for speakers which are out of warranty... :-(

I have the same product (from 3 years)... and I had the same problem!... it's the faulty volume control! I changed it 2 times... the first replaced was broken ,5 years ago... the second (different from the original) 6 month ago... :smileysurprised:

Creative Inspire P580 volume control probs

Reading through some of the posts on these forums, it is quite apparent that there is a very obvious fault with certain Creative speaker systems. I've used my P580's for over a year now, and has been working fine, although I've now changed to the Logitech Z-5500's instead, but I want to use these for my PC in the living room, but the wired remote control is no longer working. Therefore, I can't operate the system. Before it gave up the ghost, the volume would keep on fluctuating, and even just tapping it would increase the volume tenfold. It's completely not working now, even though the speakers are fine. The documentation states that you can buy a separate volume control unit through the Creative shop, but I can't find it. Any help?

This sounds like a customer support issue rather than a forums one but I guess it is possible someone from Creative will respond here. Your better bet would be to submit your problem here and deal with the problem through Creative's Customer Support system. They may be able to ship you a new part for a charge or help you fix the problem.
How, exactly, is the volume control broken?

Building volume control.... GGRRR help pls!

,Building volume control.... GGRRR help pls!? I have lost the volume control for my Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers.
Now i down want to spend like 20 on a new one so i thought about building a make sift one.
ok starting at the top going clock wise for pin numbers.
when i connect up pins 2 456 the speakers will come on at full volume but for the life of me i cannot figure out how the volume control came in to it.
I am assuming that you just whack a pot on it somewhere. spent all day trying to figure this but it is iluding me and starting to wind me up as i dont think it shouldnt be that hard to figure it out.
Also i know a lot of people who have had this prob but no answers have been figured from the 3 nights searching the web for a pin out or circuit diagram of the actual control unit,
If any one has a picture of one or even a circuit diagram of the volume control unit please email them to me at [email protected]
Oh and creative... I dont want to sell it or make any money i just want the speaker system working again.
Thanks guys / Girls

The digital output was triggered some how. Use a toothpick and feel around to unclick it. Its around the 3 oclock position.
If you feel uncomfortable doing that you can try inserting and removing a headphone jack till the light goes away.
Basically there is a switch in the jack that either tells the computer to send out "regular" audio or "digital" audio and yours seems to be stuck in digital mode.

Replacement Volume Control

I am looking for a replacement volume control for a Creative Labs / Cambridge Soundworks MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D. I have not been able to find one on this site or the Cambridge site. Are they available for purchase anywhere? I love the speakers, but the buttons on the volume control were not very sturdy. After a little wear and tear, the clicking mechanism basically stopped working with the up and down volume buttons. I did go in a re-solder the connections and that seemed to work for a while, but now the volume will go up and down at random times and I would just like to replace the controller at this point. The connection from the controller to the subwoofer appears to be proprietary and not some standard RCA type jack. So, I guess I cannot buy a universal or generic replacement. Money is not really an issue, but I am really happy with the speakers, and it seems crazy to replace my whole speaker system when the only issue is with the volume controller. Please help!

This seems to be common amongst creative speaker sets.
I've experienced the same issue (poor build quality on the one thing that'll be used the most) with my Inspire T5900 and T7900 sets.
I don't understand why the controller needs each channel routed through it (or so it seems), and why the replacement part seems impossible to come by - coupled with a year warranty.
Defective By Design imho.
My next set of PC speakers will be Logitech if I can't obtain spares or a datasheet to make my own.

My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the secone set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the firsat set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the second set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the first set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

Thanks again V.K. I did check the layout, and it was listed as alphabet when I inputted the password. So that doesn't seems to the the issue.
Just finished a truly mystifying experiment, but I put in a shorter password in the way mentioned earlier and it worked. I then systematically kept increasing the characters of that password and it seems that if the password starts to exceed about 16, it stops recognizing it. I am fairly sure it is not the password itself since it never gives an error when typing in the verification password. So unless I systematically make the exact mistake twice at the setup screen, and then don't or make a different mistake every time at the login screen, I don't think its my typing skill.
So problem solved for now, but I am still a bit worried. Maybe I should completely reinstall and use a shorter password.
Is there supposed to be a length limit?

Vollume control pod for i-trigue 3400

volume control went bad. i suspect it is 50k pot w/switch. is anybody knows where to find one? i tryed local electronic stores including radioshek, no luck. creative refuses to help. please nelp. thanks, herman

Hi,
Have you tried eBay?
Link: http://popular.ebay.com/business-ind...ometer-50k.htm?
I am not sure about the exact component used since I am not tech support but you should be able to do a one to one comparison before making a purchase. I am assuming that the warranty have expired and you are planning to repair it on your own.

I-trigue 3400

Hi,I've just bought the i-trigue 3400 speaker set. However I am having a few problems playing it through windows and the subwoofer.When the pc is playing directly to the speakers without the speakers it plays well.When my mp3 player is connected to the dock that in turn is connected to the subwoofer it plays well.However when it plays through windows to the subwoofer tospeakers, the left speaker is the dominant one and the right speaker barely plays. I have swapped the connections over and discovered it is the red hole on the subwoofer that has the problem. The right hand speaker plays very quietly. I have to push it against my ear to be able to hear anything. I have checked on volume control to see the allocation of sound to the speaker and they are central. Does anybody know what the problem could be?

Hi Louis,
I am having the exact same problem, how id you sort it out?

I-Trigue 3400 static problem..

It's been only 4 months max since I've been using these speakers, and all of a sudden
starting yesterday, static sounds appeared.
I've tried plugging it out and waiting.. It was ok for a while.. but static returned.
It is NOT my computer, since when I use my head phones or another speaker, no static can be heard.
Also, if I turn the volume way- higher than my usual (almost to the max) the static disappears.
What is wrong with my speakers? It is in warrenty so there is no problem getting an exchange, but
I'd like to know if there's any way to fix it. If not, I'll get an exchange.

I got the crappy same Problem!
I plugged in my new Sennheiser HD590 (my 2nd Pair) into the Remote Control of the I-Trigue 3400. And i wondered of hearing these (static?) anoying tickling in the phones.
I thought it could may be my Sennheiser Headphones, but i wondered cause I got the I-Trigue 3400 since January and until yet it worked fine.
So I tried my old Sennheiser HD590 - same prob. I tried the Sennheiser MX500 (In-Ear-Phones) - same prob. I tried my Plantronics Audio .90 - same prob.
Then I plugged in the Headphones directly into my Audigy 2 ZS - no (static?) tickling sounds anymore. I tried and experimented until yet 3 days now - un-/installing drivers - unplugging etc. - nothing worked.
Please Support and tell me what is happening to my I-Trigue 3400 - I am using Creative Products for right over 8 Years now and i haven't got disappointed until yet. Go ahead!

Any solution to resurrect the audio I-Trigue 3400

Hello friends, for those who know the creative teams of 2.1, I have come to the terrible conclusion that I can not do anything to buy or fix the remote control of my sound system 2.1 I-Trigue 3400. For a long time it broke. But I think it's a shame to throw away the subwoofer and two speakers given the short time of use they have.
I wanted to know if anyone can advise me with any alternative to make sound again.
I've thought about the possibility of canceling the system remote control... some cable splicing inside the subwoofer or using a cable that closes the circuit to jump utilities remote control (on / off, volume, bass)So just control the volume from the computer and turn on or off just by disconnecting the plug from the wall. Is this possible?. Has anyone done something similar?
I hope you can help me. It's a shame to waste a stereo that cost money saved while.
Thank you very much!

I have no personal experience on tinkering the volume control pod but if you really want to, you may want to consider bringing the speaker to an electronic shop or if you have knowledge in electronics, you can do it yourself. You can try searching spares on ebay or other third party stores for the volume control pod. I tried googling Itrigue 3400 control pod and found one in ebay (you may want to check it out yourself).
By the way, is your pod: a.) literally broken, b.) no volume at all or c.) volume is erratic? If it's the case of b or c, I was thinking just maybe, it could be a "dirt" issue on the control pod. Overtime, dust gets accumulated on this part (rotating controller) which most of the time is the cause of erratic volume or no volume. You can try opening the control pod's back cover and put some alcohol on it and slowly slide the resistor up and down. See if this helps.

Problem with I-Trigue 3400 (static)! Please help!

Alright, I bought my first set of I-Trigue 3400s about 2 weeks ago. Less than a few hours after using them, static started to come through the right speaker. This would happen intermittently for the next 2 days before I decided to exchange them. I was told it must of been a manufacturing defect and not to worry.
Well, I got a 2nd set of the I-Trigues to replace my first set. Everything has been swell for the past 2 weeks until last night. Last night and today I am once again getting static over my speakers. I tried fiddeling with the wires thinking it might be a loose connection and I also tried shutting off my computer and any nearby electronic devices. Unfortunately, none of my attempts have resolved the issue. This time the static is coming out of both speakers, although it is really bad and loud with the right speaker. I tried switching the left/right plugs around for the speakers, and this just made the louder static come out of the left speaker instead of the right one..
PLEASE HELP! My speakers haven't even lasted me two weeks!! And this is the 2nd set of 3400s I buy!!!!
btw, I've already sent for my rebate, so I don't think I can exchange my speakers for the THIRD time!

Hey! I've got the same problem with the same kind of speakers! When im listening to something volume is coming down and after a some time its coming back to its previous level! Coming back to its normal level can be forced by turning the speakers on and off! thats all i've discovered...
i also heard that some of creative speakers have kind of (f**k i dont know the word in english :P ) which works like that: when subwoofer is hot it automatially turns the volume lower to save your speakers from burning form hot :P or something like this :P
hmm... what i discovered that is no matter what i connect as source of music! effect of volume is the same
or maby you discovered the reason of this?
ps.
sory for my very unperfect english...

Looking For Passive Volume Control !

i'm having a hard time finding a attenuator to go between my sound card and amp. not intersted in big knob. what i actually want is the nht volume control. simple, low cost, great quality, but they are out till january. can anyone recommend another.
thanks
here is link to one that i want but are out
http://www.nhtpro.com/products/pvc.html

<<<GW, i have custom equipment made by Wynn Morro(Avalon founder) that i use as part of a summing mixer along with VP TransAmps, LarsLundal transformers, etc. and various other pro grade components.
i've also designed a number of tube based components (built by R.GilesAudio), such as tube mic-pres, eq's and levellers.
my signal paths are as minimal as possible, with no ic/opamps.
this to me, is real audio.
my DAW/Mac setup is just one very minor part of the rig.
and the one most easily replaced.
everything else is acually appreciating in dollar value year by year, while my DAW/Mac system will only ever go south.
i still much prefer analog/tape based sound to what any DAW can do at the moment. >>>
Sound like you've got a rocking analog setup, which is great. If you ever get a chance to work at Sear Sound in NY, you and Walter Sear would have a field day. But the question was "who makes a decent 6-channel volume control that doesn't cost an arm and a leg", not "does person X have an appreciation of the difference between analog and digital" (which, after 25 years recording, mixing and producing, I do). The SPL unit looks about right to me ($550 is a leg, but not an arm and leg), and I'll probably cop. The DAC's on my 02r analog card kind of take a dump at very low levels (I route through the 02r so I can instantly switch between a 5.1 and stereo/subwoofer setup) and I'd like to be able to run them all the time as close to full code as possible...

Creative I-Trigue 3400 Spares

Hi,
I have owned the speakers Creative I-Trigue 3400 for a few years now, they do the job fine. However recently the Wired remote control with bass level control has broke, I do not really want to replace these speakers as I think they are great, I do not want to buy the whole package again becuse the subwoofer and speakers are still in good condition.
Therefore I was wandering if there is a place where I can buy spare parts for it's Or any other user which has spares for this item. (I am in the UK) I have tried e-bay but with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nas

I have the same question. I compare the 3500 to several other systems and found it to be superior. I did not test against the 3400, which is a different design concept. I tested against the 3300 which I did not like at all.

Creative i trigue 3220 Volume attachment.

Hi good people, i was using this speaker model(Creative I trigue 3220) for about two years. And then volume controler started to crash when i move the vire. And that started to reapeat more often in result. Now my volume attachment doesn't work at all. And without volume controler my speakers doesn't work too.
P.S I know that I-Trigue 3220 was launched in the market for quite some time, and production of this product and its accessories have been discontinued. So my question is is it possible to make those speakears work without that volume attachemnt with some program? Or maybe someone know where can i buy that volume controler? So pls suggest solutions. Thank you for attention.

Hi Xamer!!!
I am experiencing your same problem and cannot find a solution to replace the volume remote controller.
