Inspire 5500 - Speakers Cut Out?

Hello... I'm using the excellent Inspire 5500 speakers, but occasionally one of the speakers, usually front center, just cuts out. If you pull the power and plug it back in (a simple off/on doesn't work) it'll come back. But sometimes when I turn the system on, or more speakers won't work and I need to unplug it from the mains and plug it back in. Last night, the front left, center and woofer failed to work when I turned them on. 3 plug cycles later they were all kicking again.
Anyone know why this is happening? It's plugged into a fairly new Sony DVD player via the Digital Coaxial input...

Hi there
The same thing has started happening to me.
When I switch on, the front right speaker does not come on. Only way to get it back on, is unplug the power connector from the back of the decoder and then plug it back in. As you say, a simple switch on/off does nothing.
I've been using this set up with a PC for the best part of two years now and I've changed nothing recently. I've also checked all connections and wires are sound and plugged firmly in.
My guess is that it's something wrong with the amplifier in the sub-woofer. Unless anyone else has any suggestions?

XFI Elite Pro to Inspire 5500 speakers, no rear so

I have an xFI Elite Pro and some Inspire 5500 Digital Surround Sound speakers. If I initiate a test from the remote that controls the Speaker's "brain" I get all surround points working just fine, so I know they are connected properly from there. From the "brain" I have the /8th" cable that came with the speakers for a digital connection to a soundcard connected to the flexjack on the back of the soundcard part of the xFI and it is set to Digital I/O. Whenever I initiate a test from the Creative Software, when it says "rear right" and "rear left", it comes out the front speakers. I have the CMSS turned off . I have the decoding turned off on the sound card cause the speakers take care of the decoding. What am I doing wrong? Please help, thanks.

Well,
I went back to gigabyte.com.tw and this time, there were new BIOS available ... I still don't understand why they weren't there yesterday ..
Anyway, I updated to F6 (latest version) and ... sound is still very low, crappy, crackkkkking and so on ..
I'm gonna throw this through the window :'(

DDTS-100 decoder with Inspire 5500 speakers?

I've been a very content owner of the Creative Inspire 5500 set (decoder and speakers) for two years now, but just recently my decoder has been playing up. I wish to purchase the DDTS-100 decoder and was wondering if I may use the speakers from my present Inspire 5500 set? The speakers are 5.1 - 8W RMS sub, with five 6W satellites. The speakers are similar (if a little less powerful, I think, than those with the Inspire 5700 set. Is this OK? I searched the archives for a mention of people using this set-up, but can't find any posts concerning this. Thanks for any forthcoming help!

Wireless Speakers Cutting Out with Extreme

Hi - Connected up my Audioengine A2 speakers to my Airport Extreme so I could play my iTunes library around my dinning room, but the connection seems to drop out intermittently!
It works fine initially, all set up correctly on Airport / iTunes, I even use my Touch as a remote but it keeps cutting out like there is a connection issue.
Have tested the speakers on a wired source with no problems so it suggests there is an Airport Extreme problem!
Anyone had a similar issue?
Cheers John

I cant see how. The only devices near the Extreme or the speakers is the 2 way power adaptor which the Extreme and the A2 speakers are plugged into.
I checked the connections which all seem fine!
Thanks for you reply anyway.

T7900 Speakers cutting out at high volume

Help! I'm having a Party tomorrow and everytime I turned my speakers higher than about 50% they cut out, so that the volume drops until the next beat hits, then it cuts out again. I am using the original power supply, and I am sure that the connections are ok because the problem started recently.
I did have a problem with the pendant that has the volume and bass control on it, in that there was a bad connection when tyou turned the volume dial so that it crackled and the green light dimmed, but that cleared after a little use. The green light stays on with the current fault.
I am using onboard sound (AC97) on my MSI 875P Neo motherboard, and i haven't altered the drivers since before it worked.
I'm running out of time before we kick off tomorrow so any help you can offer please post.
Otherwise its going to be a very quiet party
also i don't know why there are no paragraphs when i preview this post. Go figure

Hello guys, I faced a similar problem with the t7900...
when I turn up the volume from my pc... without touching anything else the speakers begins to power off and then back on,, and one time i found it powering off and on again without playing any music, that terrifed me to death.. as I was sleeping. and at last I began to check wires and just move it and I found it doing the same thing.. I found that the fuse that is located at the end of the adapter cable( the thick part located before the jack that is connected to the subw.) is not properly connected to the wire that doesn't permit high power to pass through it that is needed for high volumes so it begins to poweroff. I fixed it's and the problem never repeated again.. Hoping this to help you.

T7700 Speakers cutting out

Sometimes, even in the middle of a game, my T7700 speakers just stop putting
out audio. Never had this happen with any other speakers I have used with this
system. I haven't touched them, did nothing but play a game (didn't adjust the
sound settings) and they just stop. Even when the volume is jacked up to full
blast there isn't even any audio feedback through them -- they are dead silent.
I tinker with the volume controls/EAX/THX settings for a while, check the power
and speaker connections, and nothing happens. The only thing that seems to cure
this is a reboot -- upon rebooting, audio feedback through the speakers as soon
as the OS starts loading.
What gives? I don't understand how the software can cut off even audio feedback,
but that it is cured by a reboot leads me to believe this is a drivers/software
issue.
Any ideas what's going on?
Edit: the T7700 system 7.1 is linked to a SB Audigy 2 ZS, and my subwoover is set at
Direct.

All speakers cease simultaneously, and at random times.
Weird thing of it is that I can jack headphones into the T7700's
remote control (not directly into the Audigy 2 ZS), and the
headphones work.
I seem to have found the problem -- the connects of the remote
control to the sub seem to be bad. All I did to restore sound
this time was unplug and replug the remote control. This
shouldn't have been the problem, since the jack into the remote
control worked for the headphones!
I should mention that this sound system should not require
servicing -- it's less than 2 weeks old.

External speakers cutting out internal speakers

I use my iMac for making music and have powered external studio monitors connected via the optical out jack. If I'm just browsing and don't switch the monitors on I get no sound from the iMac's internal speakers without unplugging the monitors. Obviously it's not the greatest problem in the world, but I was wondering if there is a simple tick box that I've missed or bit of software that would keep the internal speakers live even when there is a line out connected?

External speakers will generally be favoured as the primary line by default. I think this is because the system assumes you wouldn't connect speakers if you didn't want to send sound to them. The only way to play to another source while they are still connected is to go to System Preferences - Sound Preference Pane. In here you can select your output. You can select the internal speakers instead of the external. The problem is you have to go to the sound preference pane again later to switch it back. It is a bit of a pain.
I'm looking for a pair of Studio Monitors that have an optical connection myself. What monitors are you using? I am having a hard time finding a good pair. Everything has either XLR or RCA in and I would prefer a digital connection.
Take care.

Speakers cutting out

I have airport express on wireless network mad jbl powered speakers which I use for music streaming, lately I have noticed that after about 10 minutes of streaming the music stops and the speakers stop and to get them working again I have to turn them off and on.
I have tried with another set if speakers and it's the same- this only happens on ipad and iphone., iTunes through PC is fine
I have three devices around the house but only have problem with one, any ideas ?

I also have airport express and in the past week have been experiencing a similar issue.
Everything worked fine for the past couple of years with my iPhone 4 and now my iPhone 5. I first noticed it with my Relax Melodies app, and now Pandora and Music app are victim's as well. Both of them will play via airplay for couple of minutes or so, and then stop entirely. I have to hit play and then select airplay again for them to start working.
Based on another post, I tried doing a hard reset to factory settings and redoing the setup process. Still experiencing the same issue though
I'm not having trouble when connected to speakers via bluetooth in the car. Also, not having trouble when connecting my Mac through airplay either.
Hoping someone may have some insight to solving this. Having a hard time sleeping at night without my white noise.

External speakers keep cutting out

Using Harman Kardon sound stick USB speakers on my mac book and they keep cutting out after about 1:08 of use. It happens with all audio sources (itunes, online streaming etc.) and works immediately if I unplug and re-insert into the USB port.
On the sound settings, the "USB Sticks" stays highlighted as the source. The internal speakers do not come on when the sound stick speakers cut out, but do so when I unplug them from the USB port.
This problem just started out of the blue after years of flawless use, no software updates. Happens on both of my USB ports. Tried re-starting, didn't help.
So frustrated.

I think that the manufacturer is your best source. Perhaps there is some incompatibility.....

Mouse freeze and sound cutting out

Since I've upgraded to OSX 10.9 (Mavericks), when I switch between open programs, my Logitech Performance MX mouse (uses USB receiver) stops responding for about 30 seconds. When this happens, the audio from my Bose speakers cuts out. While the Logitech mouse is forzen, I can still use the Apple bluetooth trackpad. To be clear, this mouse.audio chain reaciton issue doesn't happen every time I switch between open applications. It doesn't seem to happen specifically when switching out of any particular application but it does seem to happen more frequently when switching out of Firefox. But like i said, even with Firefox completely closed it still happens.
Sometimes the audio will stutter a bit and then will kick back in, but sometimes even after hours the only way to get audio is to either switch to the iMac's internal speakers, or restart the computer.
I opened the console to see what was happening when the mouse freezes and I get the following lines:
11/3/13 1:43:49.000 PM kernel[0]: com_Logitech_HIPointing::terminate(kIOServiceSynchronous) timeout
11/3/13 1:43:49.000 PM kernel[0]: USB Sound assertion in AppleUSBAudioStream at line 4767

11/3/13 1:43:49.000 PM kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0xffffff8039764000]::clipIfNecessary() - adjusting clipped position to (4a3,209a)

Alright, so I solved this myself by changing the resolution. Would've liked to resolve it a different way, but this works for now! So, anybody else who may see my issue.... go to system preferences>display and change the resoltuion.

My Speakers Sometimes "Cut Out" or "Mute"

I have a few sets of Inspire T3100s hooked up to my TV in various locations around my living room. I also have an old pair of Logitech, which work brilliantly. It's only the Creatives giving me trouble. One or both speakers will often cut out. It's not just one set. Both sets do it so I don't think it's a connection problem or faulty speakers. Any ideas?

Hi Cancer1985,
I understand you are having issue with the speakers not working all the time. I was wondering if the next time it happens see if you can play music. Some sites do have issues with sound. If you have checked your drivers and all is well, I think it is with the sites. Here is a link on tips for fixing common sound problems.

Front earphone plug does not cut out speakers or plays any sound

I have an HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7480n Desktop Pc. I upgraded to Windows 7 32. After install the front earphone plug no longer cuts out the speakers or plays any sound. I updated all the Realtek drivers. In Realtek HD Audio manager the green and pink front plugs are light color. I tried both the advanced settings to play back devices. Neither work. I had the front plug and the headphones checked out and both are functioning. I have been using the rear plug for my headphones and switch plugs with my speakers when I need them. I miss my front plug. Any Ideas?

Hi CanadaDry,
You probably just need to update either your audio driver or your chipset directly from the component manufacturer. I'd start with the audio driver first if everything else on your PC is working after the upgrade. But if there are other things not quite right like USB ports not working, then I would install the chipset driver update too.
Your PC has a Realtek Audio Device, so here is a link to the Realtek downloads:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
Select "High Definition Audio Codecs", accept the agreement, and then download and install the Win 7 32bit driver.
If that doesn't work, here is a link to the Intel 945P Chipset driver for Win 7:

Airport Express: am playing my stereo speakers but it continually cuts out

Have set-up Airport Express and music is playing through the stereo speakers (and/or via my computer speakers) but the music continually cuts out every couple of seconds on both the stereo and my computer

Thanks, Tesserax. I'll need to try headphones directly into the Airport Express tonight, but I'm guessing there won't be any static that way.
I'm actually streaming the AX to an Apple TV (2nd gen.), which connects to my receiver via HDMI. After playing around with it a bit more last night, I've determined that the interference is definitely from the wifi network. The static is most pronounced whenever data is passing over the network (i.e., when I am loading a website on my laptop, when I'm accessing my iTunes library over the ATV, etc.). So, as strange as it might sound, it appears that my receiver has started picking up electromagnetic interference from my AX wifi network.
This leads me to believe that it's a shielding issue with either the AX or the receiver. I've certainly heard of people experiencing faulty shielding in receivers, but has anyone ever heard of shielding issues with the AX? Unfortunately, I don't have an extra wireless router or receiver lying around, so I can't easily switch them out to see which one is the culprit. Any suggestions?

New wireless speakers keep cutting out through bluetooth on mac whenever i receive an e-mail?

Hi i have recently purchased some new Ruark MR1 wireless speakers from John lewis for my home,I have tried them in all rooms but whenever i switch from youtube to my itunes playlist or even just receive an email they cut out? This is now a replacement set of speakers as john lewis thought they may be faulty but the same problem occurs. I have updated my bluetooth changed settings every way possible as advised by people but still no joy,very annoying as these were very expensive and to have to keep reconnecting them constantly defeats the object of having these wireless speakers.
I would appreciate any help or advice!
