Inspire 5200 5.1 speakers only two working

Hello,
I recently bought the inspire 5200 5.1 speakers. I connected everything properly and well tried them, but I got output from the front left and right speakers. The center speaker, and the left and right rear speakers produced no output.
Then I bought a 6 channel sound card, and tried to hook everything up again, but it was still the same result. All the speakers are working cause I tried them all. It seems that the lower panel insertion points for speakers don't seem to be working, or it's something that I am missing out.
Thanks

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.

How to connect my Inspire 5200 5.1 Speakers to my XBOX? Pls Help!!!

Dear all,
I am in need of dire assistance to connect my Creative Inspire 5200 5.1 Speakers to my XBOX. If possible, I would like to maintain the full 5.1 functionality when watching my movies and playing games (that support 5.1 sound).
What other cables, adaptors, connectors do I need? Pls help... I am really not experienced with TV electronics, wires and stuff.

Ok, I did a search & found a post by NsOmNiA930 :
>>>
Or, you could make a custom analog adapter and get fake 5.1.You'll need 2 RCA couplers (or a coupler with 4 RCA Female jacks), a dual RCA to single 1/8 mini jack adapter, a single 1/8 female - 2 /8 male adapter, 2 /8 couplers, and a headphone splitter. It should look like this:RCA from Xbox Dual RCA CouplerRCA to 1/8" adapter(1)Female to (2)Male Adapter(2) 1/8" Coupler on Male ends of previous adapterHeadphone splitter on one of the couplersIMPORTANT! BACK MUST BE BY ITSELF ON THE CORRECT /8" END! CENTER AND FRONT SHOULD BE ON THE HEADPHONE ADAPTER! IN ORDER TO FIND THE CORRECT CHANNEL, DO A 5.1 TEST ON YOUR SPEAKERS AND CONFIGURE APPROPRIATELY!
>>>
Ok, can some kind soul translate that into English? What are all these components(adapter, coupler, headphone jack, 1/8?) What do they look like?

Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 Problems - Only Two Speakers Work 100%

I recently purchased the Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 speaker system for my home computer, thinking that a low-end setup would work fine until I gathered the resources to trade them in for something better. Upon hooking them up though I find that they do not work as I was led to believe. The front two corner speakers and subwoofer work fine, just as they would if they were a 2.1 setup, however the center and back speakers make no noise. I know I have them hooked up correctly as I can go into my onboard soundcard?s setup program and test them individually, but in actually practice they do nothing. Not with games or movies that are supposedly 5.1 enabled.
I'm clueless as to what the problem may be. Is it that I need a Creative brand soundcard, that may Abit motherboard and it'ss built-in soundcard are unable to establish the proper frequencies or whatnot? Perhaps I do not have the appropriate surround sound drivers installed? Any help would be vastly appreciated.

DevNull7,
You may need to enable certain settings within your sound card to upmix the Stereo to 5.1. Check with your sound card support for further information. They should be able to assit you on this.

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

Voltage question for Inspire 5200 5.1 Speakers

Hi, I'm new to the forum, so I'm not sure if this question has been answered in the past, but...
I just moved back States-side after living in Pakistan for about 6 months, and I brought my Pakistan-bought Inspire 5200 speakers. I don't know if I should buy a voltage converter or whatever.
On the AC adaptor, it says "PRL. :230V~50Hz 320 mA... SEC. : 2V ~ 4.2A". I read up a little on this stuff, and, unless I'm mistaken, in Pakistan, the voltage is 220V and 50Hz, while in the US, its 110V and 60Hz.
Is it safe to use the speakers here WITHOUT a voltage converter or a step-down transformer?
If it isn't safe, then what specific things do I need to pick up from Radioshack to make sure my speakers work and don't short-circuit or fry?
Thanks.

If you use the right step down transformer than it's perfectly safe. The problem is, step down transformer worsen the sound a lot unless you use the very expensi've one. But if you can't hear the different than it's good then, trust your own ear anyway. I think the best way is to change the adaptor.

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.

DV7t-1285DX - 3 speakers, only 2 work (right, left channel out through subwoofer)

So I recently purchased a DV7t, and while I love the machine I'm having an issue with the speakers. Windows Vista Ultimate 64 is only detected two speakers no matter what drivers I'm using (including latest IDT release). I get right channel sound through the right speaker, left channel sound through the subwoofer, and no sound at all through the left speaker. I've tried different drivers and what have you, so far no joy.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ok, so I bit the bullet and dissassembled my notebook today. As I was putting it back together, I realized that one of the prongs in the speaker plug (male reciever, on the mainboard) was bent neatly upwards. I carefully bent it back into place, got everything put back together, and now all three channels work! While this might be the issue in all cases, it fixed the problem for me. If you try it yourself, be very very careful when you try to bend the prong back into place, they break off easily and unexpectedly, and if you break yours off it's shot for good. Good luck.

External Speakers = Only one works

Hello there
I'm having an issue with my speakers - I have some Altec Lansing speakers connected to my Dell Latitude E6400, and if I want to play audio, then there's only the right speaker working.
1. They run both if used with - for example - an MP3 player.
2. It doesn't matter what player I use or which song I play (it's the same issue).
3. The internal speakers of the laptop work both fine (but the quality is awful).
4. I think it's the fact that the left speaker is connected to the right via a RCA cable.
Any ideas?

Never mind, reboot with the speakers plugged in fixed that.. o.o

Inspire 5200 - Only 3 satellites work.

Hello,
I just purchased a set of Inspire 5200 but when I connect them to my PC, only the two satellites connected to the RCA's marked as "front speakers" and the one marked as "center speaker" work. The satellites that I connect to the RCA's marked as "rear speakers" don?t work.
I don't have a special sound card. I'm just using the regular card that comes integrated with the motherboard. I wasn?t told at the store where I bought the speakers that I would need a special sound card to have all of the speakers work. Do I need a special card to have sound in the 5 satellites?
I would also like to know if there's a way to use the 5200 with my DVD-Karaoke unit, and what kind of cables or adapters would I need. The DVD unit has the regular RCA outputs and the digital output.
Thank you for your kind help.
A.Molina

Thank you for the reply Cat.
I figured out this too late and the store didn't explain that to me, but anyways, I will get a Sound Blaster card, but I was wondering if I could buy an external card, such as the "USB Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External" unit, and use it with the Karaoke unit too. I realize that this unit I mention doesn't have its own Power Supply input, and therefore I assume it must take its power from the USB port. Is this correct? If so, is there a way to provide power to the unit or would you recommend another card/option, as I'm really satisfied with the quality sound provided by the speakers, and I would like to use then with the Karaoke too.
Thank you again.
Best regards,
A.Molina

Only two speakers working with Terratec Aureon 7.1 Universe soundcard!

When playing a CD only the two front speaker produce sound. However, with the test program from my soundcard all speakers seem to work.
I've set the advanced speaker setting in the "Sound and Audio Devices" (Control Panel) to "7.1 home theater speakers" and under the Audio tab I enabled 'Aureon Wave' as the default device for sound playback and recording.
Have I missed something?
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

The Audigy will only put out 5..
You are free to select any setup in the Windows System, regardless of the actual audio Hardware installed.
However, you state here that your speakers are also 5.
If you only have 5 speakers and a subwoofer, then you are indeed limited to 5.
If you have already invested the money in a 7. system with 7 speakers and a subwoofer, then get any audigy 2 card (I just bought a ZS for $80). The speaker system was probably a lot more expensi've, and the rather cheap soundcard upgrade will let you use it.Message Edited by rstich on 06-5-2005 06:7 PM

Left & centre speakers do not work: Inspire 580

Using Inspire 580 with XP home edition.
The system was working and I use only 3 front speakers and the sub-woofer. Only the right speaker and sub-woofer work. There is now no output from the centre or left outputs from the connections on the side of the sub-woofer. Changing over connections shows that the speakers are OK. Although I have had work done on my PC (installation of RAID)I believe the Inspire system is plugged in correctly. Pink goes to the main stereo output, green goes to Centre/subwoofer socket which is also Mic In. This is as per K8 Triton nForce3 motherboard manual. The black plug is not used. (I have tried other permatations too).
I do not use the speakers everyday and cannot say exactly when it was last working. I have checked Control Panel>Sounds and the balance is central and it is not muted. Any suggestions to solve this?
Nigel

UPDATE:
I have tried disconnecting the Inspire 580 and connecting a simple two speaker system to the main stereo output of the PC. It works fine in stereo so unless I am missing something the Inspire 580 system must be faulty. I have, of course, checked that all plugs are properly in their sockets. In my last posting I did say I tried changing over the speaker connections and this showed that left and centre speakers were OK but there was no output from the front left and centre outputs on the unit (which is part of the sub-woofer).
Any suggestions would be welcome.

There is only one speaker, what looks like another speaker is actually a microphone. All iPhones only have one speaker down by the dock connector.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

My laptop lost all his sound n speakers..only headphones work.is a g6 b1z96ea

my laptop lost all his sound n speakers..only headphones work.is a g6 b1z96ea
what the hell is going on??i tried anything but doesn´t works

Is "Do not disturb" activated in the Settings?
Did you try to set up the phone as new device without using the latest backup?
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
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.
