Inspire 5.1 P5800

Hello guys!
I just bought the Creative inspire P5800 and want to install it on a Acer Aspire 692 laptop. Problem is that it wouldn?t work the right way . It is not clear which speaker is the front, which the rear, which the right etc. I only know which one is the central speaker. The other ones are similar.
On the laptop, the terminations of the soundcart have the colors, pink and black. The wires of the speakerset have the colors green, orange and black. Which ones do I have to combine with eachother?
I hope somebody can help me, thnx!
Sonny

Sonny,
It doesn't matter which speaker is the left or right as they are the same so you can connect them to any of the speaker jack on the subwoofer. I believe the rear speaker have a longer cable so you can check that. As for connection to your laptop, they usually comes with onboard audio and typically do not support more than 2.1 speaker system. That's why you only had 2 audio connector from it, pink should be for the microphone and black for the speaker/headphone. You can consult your laptop user guide or check with the support personel of that company on the proper connection of 5.1 speaker system if possible. Alternatively, you can get a USB based soundcard or PCMCIA soundcard(if you have available PCMCIA slot) that's able to support proper 5.1 speaker system.

  • Can't here my center speaker on my Inspire 5.1 p5800

    I got inspire 5.1 p5800 speakers and my sound card is an sound blaster audigy platinum.
    When i do test my center speaker works out find, but when i play music of any audio file type, video of any file type, dvd in 5. mode and games in 5.1 mode I can't here my center speaker.
    If I put the speaker of to my ear I here low volume sound (very low volume).
    Can anyone help

    I found media player that will play the center channel now!If you have it use intervideo dvd 6 as a music player.
    and set it for the 5.1 of course and I like movie surround more than music surround
    one thing i love with p5800 speakers base is that at only 83% max base on sound card turned on and only 50% base on speakers turned on its one heck of a loud base
    its all based on what files are 5.1 and which are not and win dvd platinum can force the upmix to make the center speaker work if the stuff isn't 5.1 .
    like windows media player has 5.1 but doesnt change the play back of things that arn't 5.1
    I dont know why on some dvds on media player you set to 5.1 the center channel doesn't work though.
    But at least as long as your 5.1 mode turned on in intervideo win dvd 6 platinum the file will always play 5.1 even if the file is mono sound.
    another good thiong about intervideo win dvd 6 is that it plays the divx and to me the performance is better than my divx pro....

  • Creative Labs Inspire 5.1 P5800 auxiliary input

    Hi,
    I am interested in purchasing the P5800, I have read that it has a 3.5mm auxiliary input suitable for mp3 players etc.
    I will be often using this system with an mp3 player and a single output from my laptop. My question is very simple, if I input sound into the auxiliary input, will it play in all the speakers, or just act as a 2.1 system? Quite simply, I would like my music playing in all the speakers
    Many thanks in advance for your help,
    S Pearce

    S Pearce,
    If you're connecting through the aux input, you will only be getting stereo output and that's only through the front speaker not all the speaker. You can check out another speaker system (if it's available within your region) and that's the I-Trigue 5600. This speaker system have a CMSS upmix feature which enable you to have 5. surround effect from stereo devices which fit what you wanted.

  • Inspire 5.1 P5800 Sound problem...

    Hello Everyone
    I have a Sound problem with my 5.1 speaker system. When I turn it on,(playing music or not)I hear a terrible loud/high background noise, like a constant interferance. It's a very unpleasant sound. The noise come from all satelites speaker(Speacially the center speaker.)
    I'm sure that all conections is ok.
    Please help me to solve this problem.
    PD.: If it's help I have a Compaq Presario SR602LS Desktop PC.

    1 Identify which component causes it; plug headphones to your computer to see if that has noise, try all three connections. Then, connect all speaker inputs to a different source, like a mp3-player.
    2 If both are noise-free, it has to be some kind of interference. The cables to the satellites are coaxial so they are not likely to be the cause, but the 3,5mm jacks to the sub might be. To find out if they are, try moving your sub around your room to see if the noise changes (both decrease or increase).
    3 If the problem cannot be traced to either or 2, it might be a groundloop: that the signal fed from, for instance, your computer, to the ground connection of your electricity-plug is picked up by your speaker set. To check this, try connecting your set to a different electrical group or at least a different plug.
    In case 1: if it's the pc, try grounding it if it's not already. If it's the speakerset it will not be so easy to solve.
    In case 2: see if you can connect the sub to your pc using coaxial wires (or perhaps even optical, I am not familiar with the set), you might need some 3,5mm-to-RCA-plugs for that, or if you can somehow shield the inputcables by wrapping it in aluminum-foil or anything.

  • SB Luve 5.1 Digital vs. Realtek ALC

    Hello everybody,
    I've bought Sb Li've! 5. Digital from a friend (without CD, he lost it) and was happy when
    I disabled realtek in bios. SO I started downloading this huuuuge driver package, and when finished, it just said "no SB on your system". A file, which has more than 24 MB is supposed to do more, isn't it's So I installed the standard windows driver, card works, but in 2.0, which is not good, when I have creative Inspire 5. P5800. S I'm forced to reinstall my good Integrated Realtek 5.(drivers completely from internet (0 Megs) and I'll send the good Li've to dustbin... Thank you creative... Speakers are cool, hardware too, but the drivers are really PISSING ME OFF.
    Yours sincerely

    alfredo,
    What sound card are you using? If you are using Creative card, try turning on the CMSS feature. You can check out the Knowledgebase article for the steps.

  • Centre speaker does not w

    Hi i just bought the Creative Inspire 5. P5800 speaker system. I've got a Creative SoundBlaster Li've! 5. Digital soundcard. I've plugged in all the cables correctly, changed my Windows sound system setting to 5. surround and did the same on the Creative Speaker system application. When i test the speaker through the creative speaker application, all 5 channels will output correctly but if i open up any other application for movies or music, the centre speaker won't work. I've tried disabling my onboard sound chip (C-media), uninstalling codecs (heard AC-3 filters usually conflict with creative center speakers' output), and reinstalling all the creative sb li've! drivers. That still wont make any difference. I'm wondering if the cause is because i had to connect the center audio cable (the orange cable) to the digital output jack of the creative soundcard (but thats where it's meant to be, so... ). Can anyone please help. I sold my Creative 4. 4400 2weeks ago, and if the centre satellite of this P5800 wont work, thats really money wasted. My last option is to format, and reinstall everything properly but i doubt that's gonna work. HELP....... Thanks

    Change your windows sound system setting?from 5. to default 7.. You may have go into the?SoundBlaster Li've! 5. speaker settings/control center to setup your speaker set to 5.. and to calibrate the speaker set.

    That's definitely a hardware problem(drop then malfunctioned). If you've replaced the ringer/buzzer & speaker from original parts & it does works also, most likely contacts on mainboard or soldered parts been dislodge. An autorized Nokia Care Center could resolved your problem.
    Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!

  • Problem with Rear Speakers (Inspire P5800)

    Hi,
    I have bought the Inspire P5800 Sound System but I have a problem. When I do a soundtest with the driver software all speakers work but when I want to listen to music with Musicmatch Jukebox I don't get any sound on the rear speakers. I have on board AC97 sound on a Gigabyte K8NS motherboard.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks!
    robertthronhill

    robertthronhill,
    That's normal as music are mostly in stereo and that's 2 channel only. Creative sound card have CMSS feature that upmix stereo to surround soundfield but since you are using onboard audio, you will have to check with your mainboard manufacturer if those audio card have similar feature also.

  • Please help me with disabled Inspire P5800

    My speaker system "Inspire P5800" was perished. There was some smoke. When I opened subwoofer I saw four burnt transistors. Also I saw one element (ZD. I think it stabilitron in glass body) was broken (divided in two) as a result of high heat. I was very pained. Does anybody know why the system was broken? Maybe it happened because I always used it with maximal value of volume, how you think? Do you know what mark is the mark of element which is marked "ZD" at circuit board? Has anybody basic circuit of amplifier of "Inspire P5800". If you'll answer to my question please be more easy (my English isn't so good). Thank you!

    I do not think that everything is already set as the password, the new e-mail. Now I have to update the application with no.
    And a warning, as it!! Your Apple ID has been disabled!!.
    If possible, you may be able to check my ID.
    And to the point. So let me do the right thing.

  • Replacement Wired Remote Creative Inspire P5800

    Does anyone know whether you can buy a replacement wired remote from a Creative Inspire P5800? I've spent all morning going in circles on their website. The headphone socket is defective on mine, and I don't really want to buy a whole new system if I can help it.

    Hey, I had the same problem some time ago with the same set. My solution was to make the wire straight and don't twist it anywhere. After that it all worked fine. Good Luck

  • Some INSPIRE P5800 Problems

    Hi, everyone, first time poster.
    I have had Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 speakers for a couple of months now, which I run with Realtek AC'97 (onboard sound). However, there are two specific surround sound related problems that are bugging me.
    1. Windows XP sounds are only played in the two front speakers, but not in any of the rear speakers, center speaker, or subwoofer.
    2. This may not be the best place to ask this, but I use InterVideo WinDVD 6 Platinum to view DVDs. Since I want to configure it for surround sound, I change the player from a 2 channel configuration to the 6 channel configuration. However, the program is unable to detect my surround speakers, and therefore simply duplicates the front stereo for the rear speakers. The subwoofer doesn't seem to function.
    My drivers are up to date and my Sounds and Audio Devices (Control Panel) is configured to my 5.1 system. Any ideas for why this is happening? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    NoradX,
    Stereo are 2 channel only so it's normal that you obtain left and right output only. Depending on the features of the onboard audio, it may have upmixing feature to mix stereo to multiple output for a surround effect. Best to checkup with them the correct setting for the audio card.

  • Ddts-100 and inspire p5800

    are the creative inspire p5800 speaker system compatible with the ddts-100 decoder?
    Is the decoder connectable to the K|i|s|s dp-1000 DVD Player?

    Gr33nC0d3r,
    Yes, the speaker is compatible with the DDTS-100 decoder. Also, you should be able to connect to the decoder without problems since the decoder have coaxial/optical input which most DVD player should have. What type of output connector does your DVD player have?

  • Inspire p5800 - center speaker doesnt work

    hi there...
    i got a little problem... i have SB audigy 2 and inspire p5800...
    I set i up and the center speaker doesnt work at all.. no madder what i do.. i can hear the center speaker snear or something.. but i cant hear any music from it at all...
    If i try calibrate the 5.1 the center speaker makes sound like it was the subwoofer... any solution for this? i checked the cables and they are in the right places..
    hope ya can help
    Jones

    Hm, that is certainly odd......make sure the jack that goes from the subwoofer to your sound card is in the correct spot.
    Not sure but you may have 3 wires going to your soundcard - refer to the user manual for the correct order.
    If you are using digital - well then - I don't have a clue unless you hooked that digital cable to the wrong place on the soundcard as well.
    Good luck.

  • Can a inspire p5800 be used without a computer, as a stand alone speaker system

    Can an Inspire P5800 be used as a stand alone speaker system? Here is my story. I just got this speaker system from my girlfriend who did not know that it had to be hooked up to a computer/soundcard etc... She thought it would just hook up to my MP3 player and be used as a speaker system downstairs in my shop. It looks like the decoder DDTS-100 could be bought and used as a stand alone sound adapter? Or is there a cheaper way? The only other way I can see is a triple headphone adapter that has one 1/8 inch plug going to three 1/8 inch jacks that can be fitted with a 1/8 inch plug to plug cable in each jack, then those going into the back of the subwoofer/connector area. Would that be a mono source that way? Any help would be appriciated. marc

    I have set this system up with a creative zen vision m without using a computer just stand alown, but i have only been able to get the subwoofer, front left and right speaker to work. I dont know if that helps.
