Inspire 5.1 5300 - only 2 speakers work

Hi,
I've been using these Inspire 5.1 5300 speakers for quite some time and it worked without problems all this while.
But today out of a sudden I realised there is only sound coming out from two of the five speakers.
I thought the speakers were spoilt so I tested by switching the cables around but it worked after that.
What can I do to rectify this problem? Does the problem lie with the settings (I didn't change anything) or the subwoofer that I'm connecting my speakers to?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi - I have the same problem as frogdorr. Onset 2 years ago.
Inspire 5300 speakers with audigy OEM card. Worked fine (and brilliantly!) for several months to a year. Then suddenly back two speakers stopped working. It is not the speakers - rotate them and they work fine but the new back speakers don't work.
Checked all windows settings (2000 & XP), speakers, conflicts etc. Reinstalled win.
Rotate the black and green plugs ( then rear becomes front, front becomes rear) means front left & right speakers don't work.
Used the audigy sound card with quadraphonic speakers (fps600) with no problem front & back. Used built in M/B sound card with the same result- no sound back speakers.
Seems like a cube loose wiring problem to me.
Where to from here?
Is there a service manual or approach to fixing this problem?

Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Speakers Only the subwoofer and front 2 speakers work HELP!!

Hello,
I have got the "Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Speakers." I have connected all the speakers to the subwoofer and plugged my Creative Zen Vision : M into the AUX socket on the back of the subwoofer using a jack to jack cable. When i play music only the subwoofer and the front right and left speakers work is there anything i can do to change this? (I have got no Computer involved)
Any help would be appreciated,
Chris.

Hi all do you have any idea to solve my problem?
Currently, I'm using the P5800. My problem is sub can't working. I fix together with SB24Bit External sound card.Previously is working. I'm very proud with the sound,after I decrease the master volume and bass level volume my sub suddenly quit.what happened actually?
-Is that mean I need to change the sub speaker or the coil inside the magnet core is burned?
-or maybe my component circuit like ic,capacitor,diode burned?
If I plug n unplug the power to the sub,I can heard that 'bump'. Is that mean my circuit in good condition or maybe the charge and discharge for capacitor?
Please answer me...
Thank You

Creative Inspire T900 problem, just 2 front speakers work when connect to a laptop

Hi everybody,
I have just bought a Creative Inspire T7900 system, it's in good quality I think.
But I just got a laptop without 5.1/6.1 or 7/ sound card ( one output only ), therefore i cannot use the 7.1 Audio Cable.
I tried to use a stereo-to-stereo cable to connect my laptop to the input in the wired remote but only the front satellite speakers work. Is that a problem with the Wired Remote ? Or the problem with the system ?
Can I laptop use all the speakers ?
Please help me, thank you very much.

thanhvtd86,
There isn't any problem with the speaker system nor your laptop and it's normal. Stereo consists of only 2 channel and that's why you are experiencing output from only the two front speaker. You won't be able to utilize the full capability of the speaker if you don't have a 7.1 capable soundcard.

Only 2 speakers working when playing music?

hi
i just bought a creative inspire P7800 7.1
when i do the speaker test, all speakers work but when i try to play music from an audio cd or mp3, only the right and left speakers work, and the sound isn't loud enough, before i had a 4.1 speaker system and when i playd mp3 or audio cd all 4 spearkers worked and the sound was loud enough..
my question is, how can i make all 7 speakers work together as if they were stereo, so the volume is loud enough?

Nocturno,
What sound card do you have now? If your using a Creative sound card, you can turn on the CMSS feature to upmix Stereo to a 5.1/7.1 soundfield depending on the capability of the sound card. If your using another sound card, you will need to check with the manufacturer if it had such upmix features.

Center Speaker plays center sounds and rear sounds. Inspire 5.1 5300 speakers.

My inspire 5.1 5300 speakers are set up for 5.1 surround sound. I have CMSS enabled. I hear static from the rear speakers. Everything seems to be set up just fine. But when I run the speaker test the front right, center, and front left work. The rear left and rear right speaker sound comes out of the center speaker instead of the rear speakers even though the center speaker also gives out the correct test sound.
I have an audigy card, SB0090 is the model number. I don't know the retail name.

I dont see how the sub wont work. It has the seperate front, rear, and center in. The sub should work with just the front in as far as i know. My SBS 450 seems to work that way... i have yet to get my inspire 5.1 working but ill find out if i happen to..

Is "Do not disturb" activated in the Settings?
Did you try to set up the phone as new device without using the latest backup?

Also try these steps:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

5.1 speakers only 4/5 speakers working

Hi there, having some problems with my T1600 5.1 speakers system for my PC. Originally could only get 2 speakers + sub working, now downloaded a new driver, but now i can only get 4/5 speakers and the sub working, (the front left speaker wont work). On the Creative surround mixer, it only has the option to have 4 speakers working so dont know how to get past this, as i've set it to 5.1 on the control pannel, but it doesnt change anything. Anyone know, please help (but dont use too complicated language as im not an uber-wizz at these things as you'd probably guessed)
Cheers.
Oven2.

creek,
You may have to check with your sound card manufacturer for special setting to upmix the Stereo to the rest of the speaker.
If you are using Creative 5.1 sound card, you can refer to the link for the CMSS upmix feature.

Only external speakers work!

Hi there,
A few days ago my internal speakers stopped working. I've tried rebooting, and resetting the PRAM and inserting and removing my headphones from the jeck to try and make it realise they're not plugged in anymore.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my internal speakers working again?
How does the mechanism work that detects when headphones are plugged in?
Thank you,
Abri

Sound coming through speakers connected to an Airport Express has some delay due to the processing involved. This would be annoying when trying to watch video on your computer. This is why iTunes won't use Airport Express connected speakers when watching video.
There is a third-party application called Airfoil. It allows any sound to be sent to an Airport Express.

Inspire 5.1 5300 problems

Hey guys i've got an Inspire 5.1 5300 surround system... Ive had it for a couple of years,and i only hooked up 2 speakers and the subwoofer.Well,i changed it from my sisters computer onto my own,but the rear,center and subwoofer outputs arent working...i cant get the sub to make ANY noise,no feedback or anything. I have a creative es373 soundcard if that helps.
I also installed the soundcard from my sisters computer when mine didnt work,and that didnt work either....any advice?

I dont see how the sub wont work. It has the seperate front, rear, and center in. The sub should work with just the front in as far as i know. My SBS 450 seems to work that way... i have yet to get my inspire 5.1 working but ill find out if i happen to..

Which speaker system is better: Inspire 5200 or 5300?

Hi,
I'm just about to :smileyindifferent: buy new Creative speaker systems. Unfortunately, in my country and city options are scarce. Only few models are available and I am trying to get a good, decent sound, with good bass for bassy songs (i.e. dance, hip-hop), and good sound in general for PC-based games and DVDs.
I am given two choices: Creative Inspire 5200 and 5300. The big question: which one is better? I supposed that since 5300 is a bigger number than 5200, the 5300s should be better; but I may be wrong (e.g. the total RMS power of the 5200s is slightly higher than the 5300s!), so... somebody can give me a piece of advice on this?
I am willing to spend as much as USD$50.00 on my new speakers... so if someone has better speakers in mind for that price, I'm open to suggestions. With luck, I can give them a try.
Regards.

Only two work

i have just a new computer with a great soundcard and got a set of the inspire T6160 and after setting them up and trying to play music, games and movies on my computer discoverd only the ones pluged into the 2 front slots worked. how can i get it so all five speakers work at once?

Peterguy3,
Are you using a Creative sound card? You might want to enable the CMSS feature. Please note that music files such as MP3 songs and CDs are in stereo format, that means you will only get sound from the 2 front speakers.

Looking to Put Inspire 5.1 5300 Back In Service

The situation is like this: I have the Creative Inspire 5.1 5300 speaker system: however, it has a wired remote that doesn't work. (That is literally the only problem; however, with the wired remote unusable, the speaker system itself is useless.) Creative *does* carry other wired remotes (specifically one for the newer Inspire P5800); however, I have no idea if the remote will work with the older 5300 (I'm not expecting the M-Dock to work, and have no use for it if it does). Will the P5800 wired remote work? Will I instead have to contact Creative Direct (I'm in the US) for a 5300 replacement remote? Or am I basically screwed (and thus have to buy another speaker system, which is not exactly inexpensive)?

I tested the speaker again. This time round, I did a few test using VLC, Media Player, and Audacity. What I hear on the VLC and the Media Player is very consistent, the 5kHz tone is not as ear piercing as the 10kHz tone. I then test using Audacity. Initially, the 5kHz tone is more ear piercing then the 0kHz. But after I played the tone again on the VLC and Media player, and then back to Audacity again, what I hear became the same as that played in VLC and Media Player. So, now I am wondering which part of my PC is having problem software, sound card, or some other things that is not known to me. Can somebody please enlighten me?
