Inspire 5.1 5700 digital

IS IT POSSIBLE TO RUN MY TV /DVD ETC THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND HOW DO I CONNECT?
THANX
JOHN

You must give us more information about the outputs from the TV, it's impossible to say anything without knowing how many outputs there are and what type. Also, the brand and model of the TV would be helpful. What you need to do to hook it all up is to check what type of connectors that are available on the source for output and then check for corresponding inputs on the speaker system. Then you have to get the correct cable with the corresponding jacks in both ends. If you don't have corresponding inputs or outputs you must look if there is any way to use a converter somewhere. Right now, any suggestion given to you would basically be a fumble in the dark because we have too little information.

Inspire 5.1 5700 Digital system not working correctly

I have a Inspire 5.1 5700 Digital speaker system that has some issue's.
The front speakers are all that is working with center channel low volume , the Sub and Rear speakers are not working according to set-up in software , But Sub is working in games and with Music.
I had been using an MSI P67/ G43 MB onboard sound. Today I gave up and purchased a new sound card, an Audigy Rx. Installed the drivers, did the update for drivers. I was working w/ speaker set up and mic setup and I still have the same problem.
I am thinking there has been a change in the drivers or windows 7, that the controller does not recognize. I have checked all speakers and the are working.
I also am using the Optical output to the controller.

I used to be able to set up and test the speakers and set the front / rear balance and fade thru the software. I am un able to do that an again, the source is not Optical but SPDIF.
So, what am I doing wrong here ??
and thank you for the quick response and help O))
Hi RonReagan,
SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital Interconnect Format) basically has 2 types of connection: Optical and Coaxial. In this case, you are using an Optical connection. Hence, it is known as SPDIF Optical.
It is correct that you received 2 audio channels during speaker test via an optical connection. An alternative way is to initiate the test through the Windows audio endpoint for SPDIF Out (optical Out).
At the Sound of the Windows Control Panel, configure SPDIF Out as the default device. Click on the Properties. At the Supported Formats tab, check the box for DTS Audio or Dolby Digital. Click on the Test button to initiate the speaker test. You should able to test for the rear speakers.
Cheers,

Looking for 9-pin mini DIN to 9-pin mini DIN GREEN for Inspire 5700 digital

hi guys, I'm looking for this cable.
9-pin mini DIN to 9-pin mini DIN (2 meters - Green)
for my Inspire 5700 digital.
http://images.americas.creative.com/...mall89___6.gif
Currently I'm using the RED version from FPS2000, but I get no sound for Center speakers and SubW. So I suspect both cables are different internally although the connectors are the same.
Anyone knows where to get it in Msia.. or can I buy it from Creative Spore?
OR
Anyone using this set with analog mode, then can sell this DIN cable to me..
Thanks

hi body,where did u get that cable?i need that cable too!!!!!!!!!

Inspire 5.1 5700 speakers are not recognized by Win7 64 with MSI HD audio and soundblaster Cinema

I have had this speaker system since it first came out. It has worked without a hitch with many computers but this one. It is an MSI 87-gd65 Gaming system with an Intel i5, 16mb ram on Win7 Pro 64. It shows all of the drivers are working well but it will not recognize the speakers even I use the digital coax or analog outputs.
The HD audio the SB Cinema drivers are loaded with the latest drivers. Win reports them all working well. It will support headphones.
I can't remember if there is a special driver just for this system.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Check that you have selected the correct speaker setup under your Sound settings/Control Panel. Based on your description, you should have a Sound Blaster on-board audio solution. If you are updating any drivers, you should be downloading them from MSI's website as these are optimized for your specific system setup.

Hi ty Colin,
All of the cables are the ones that worked with the old computer system until they were switched to this new one. All drivers are up to date. The MSI tech gave up after an hour.
The Cinema driver only allows for a 7.1 setup but shows only a two speaker graphic. The old driver on the old machine allowed me to select the speaker configuration and even test them. The speaker selection in the driver area is greyed out. The headphone selection works just fine.
I have downloaded and installed the Cinema driver from MSI twice but with the same result. The driver says it is for the win7 64.
Is there something on the Cinema driver setup that I am missing?
thanks

Inspire 5700 - Digital stopped working

I have the Inspire Digital 5700 speakers and a while ago the digital Din stopped working. I then used the analogue.
Ive just upgraded my soundcard to the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum that requires 3 analogue outputs. Unfortunately the decoder wants 2. The Digital Din still doesnt work.
To test the system, I tried inputting optical from the front box to the rear of the decoder and still no sound.
1. Do all of the digital inputs run from the same internal electronics ?
2. Can I replace my decoder with the DDTS-100 ?
3. Ive ordered the mini-jack to digital DIN cable from creative, but where can I get the mini Din to mini Din ? Creative doesnt sell this. Im in the UK
Thanks

You could contact Customer Support directly to see if they can supply you with the DIN cable.
If you're connecting from the optical output on the drivebay to the optical input on the decoder, you'll need to change settings. This knowledgebase case covers a lot of detail:

Inspire 5700 Digital DIN Cable

Hi! :smileyvery-happy:
I have unfortunately broken my (9 Pin?) Digital DIN cable. I have been unable to find a cable that could replace my old one. I have had a lot of problems with my cable (no sound/noise etc.). I think those problems have occured because of the fact, that there has been some sort of loose connection.
This cable is my only way to enjoy the full 5.1 audio from my computer, for now I'm only using 4.1 through the analog cables.
I hope that it's possible to bye og replace my old cable...

Hi there, im wanting the same cable but finding it hard to track down.
Just to add, i need a 9 pin - 9 pin din to connect my creative 6.1 setup to an an external usb audigy 2 VE. Hopefully this would mean no need for the wired remote that connects to the 6.1 speakers? Can anyone confirm this?
Cheers, i'll keep looking.

Audigy4 plain paired with Inspire 5700 Digital Au

I just bought an Audigy4 plain version yesterday. I'm trying to figure out what I need for the Digital I/O to get surround. I need something so I can get AC3 5. with spdif or the Digital din. I've searched the fourum for hours but it's all very confusing.

Yeah read that and wanted to reply but couldn't. Ok so Din is a no go. That's fine had the same problem with my last card and survi'ved. Only use 5. for my consoles and DVDs anyways. Might want to add that in the sticky that as of Audigy4 the DIN is no longer used. Might help a lot of people out.
So I would plug the mini jack to RCA in the Digital I/O and get DD and DTS for Movies? Might want to explain that in the sticky too.

Creative Inspire 5.1 5700 + X-Fi Plati

Dear Sirs,
I have one problem with my acoustics system and new sound card:
A little prehistory:
. I had sound card (and i still have it, only it's lie on the shelf ) Creative Life 5.
2. I used and still use acoustic system: Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5700
3. Acoustic has connected corrected and worked without problems with Life 5.
I have bought new sound card Creative X-Fi Platinum, tested it with music seems that all works fine, i like it, really exciting things, better sound them was and so on..
But when i started to test 5. with tests and games in Games Mode and so on, it does not work, because seems that all channels works in one, so when i was testing it and voice tell in left front channel it's sounds in other channels as well.
Acoustic was connect by digital and coaxial.
Maybe someone can help me please, maybe i should turn on something in the drivers?
My Computer: Abit Nforce4 KN9 Ultra, AMD Athlon AM2 3000+, Radeon x600Pro 256Mb, 024Mb RAM.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Artem Savotin

Hello!
Thanks a lot for the answer. Now i improved my knowledge, because i already was in despair.
. I have connected my acoustic system and sound card via Analog cable and works only 4 channels: Front L/R and Rear L/R, without Front Center and Sub - as i understood it's correct, right?
2. When i tried to install this driver my system just buzzed and needed to Reboot computer, maybe driver does not compatible with my system.
3. Why does Creative not support Digital/SPDIF for acoustic system like my SPDIF or Digital I/O has better quality of sound then Analog, is not it's
Thanks in advance!
Greeting,
Artem

Inspire 2800 2.1 Digital Speakers - replacement 6-pin wired remote?

The wired remote for my 2.1. digital speakers has broken and I can't turn on the speakers anymore with the remote. I rang the support guys in Ireland and the recommended course of action was to buy an audio control pod which they said would be able to be used as a replacement (it wouldn't do all the features but I wasn't bothered about that, providing I could actually turn on the speakers and control how loud they were!).
Fast-forward a few months and the audio pod is delivered - but it's a 9-pin connection and my speakers take a 6-pin connection so it's useless!
Has anyone else been in my position - I'm basically stuck in the frustrating position of having dead speakers that will work fine, but can't actually be switched on without this dratted remote!
Are there any solutions/workable replacements that I'm missing?
Many thanks for any advice anyone can give me!

I have this exact same issue. I just purchased the X-Fi ExtremeGamer with the Digital I/O Module. I've tried both Coax and Optical, but I get no sound in the rear speakers. 6-Channel Direct works just fine.

Inspire 5.1 5700 - audigy 2 zs

Hiya,
I've got this strange issue,
I am playing warcraftIII which uses the EAX, it was working fine, until yesterday when I had to disconnect the speaker system from the computer, and when I reconnected it, the sounds in game seemed reversed (I lack the vocabulary, I'll try to explain ), I mean before the bug when an acti've unit was saying something and it was in the middle of the screen it sounded loudest, and now it sounds loudest when it's in the far corners of the screen and when it's it the middle it sounds so silent as if it was in the far end of the screen. I know it lookes a bit mixed up but perhaps someone could help me, any help greatly appreciated.
thanks

Is everything connected ok? Sounds like either your centre speaker got unplugged at some point, or you have swapped two sets around (so the front is going to the centre). Check they are firmly plugged in too, its easy to just half plug one in. Could be the speaker side connections too, so its worth checking them. I cant imagine the problem being more serious or complicated than that. Would be worth going through every connection and volume setting (both sides, at the speakers themselves, etc) just to be sure.
Might make it easier if u use the creative speaker test thing, where it goes through each speaker saying the name.
Hope im not just telling you things you already know, you seem pretty competent on the forums!

Inspire Digital 5700 5.1 and X-FI

5 months ago I got my new pc and thought it would rock with my new x-fi cand and 5700 speakers but quickly found out the incompatiability. I have searched through many posts and I am confused. What would be the solution to make my combination work to the fullest for gaming/music?

Inspire 5700 Digital can't connect with analogue( three cables ), only with optical spdif or coax to x-fi.
http://lh6.google.es/rmorinr/RjMSZXzVLrI/AAAAAAAAAR8/a5r8CHe2r8/s44/5700decoder-back.jpg
4-pole mini-jack DIN converter is for sound blaster live 5.1, if you use with X-fi only have 2.0 sound (stereo) no 5.1. The best option is the optical/coaxial input in the 5700.

Creative's 4-pole mini-jack & Digital DIN:
You can only get the full use out of this connection when used between Creative Sound Blasters and compatible Creative speaker systems. It is the digital equivalent of the analogue connections, but instead of using 3 stereo sockets, you use just one digital socket. There are 4 conducting connections in the socket (unlike coax which has two) so there are enough connections to carry 3 different digital stereo signals (front R/L, rear R/L and Sub/Centre). You will probably require a 4-pole mini-jack > DIN converter to connect your Creative speakers to this socket. Using this connection will allow you to get surround from games (unlike SPDIF). However the digital DIN input on some Creative speakers can't receive AC3/DTS data, so you may still require an optical/coax connection.
N.B. This digital socket on the Sound Blaster cards doubles as the digital coax output. If you don't have digital DIN, you can use a mono or stereo mini-jack > RCA converter to connect to the coax input on your speakers, as the front R/L or AC3/DTS signals are sent through the tip of the plug.
