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:

  • 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

  • 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.

    Hi Davis,
    If the speakers system is still in warranty, I would recommend getting in touch with support for repair/replacement.
    If not, you must trash it because Creative don't bring support, tech service, repair or maintenance to any equip out of warrantee period.

  • 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.

  • Converting analog 5.1 (multiple cables) to Digital DIN (for Inspire 5700), how?

    Hi,
    So far I've been using my Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 speaker system together with my Audigy Platinum in my Desktop PC to watch DVDs and play games with a 5.1 experience. To connect soundcard and Speaker system, I used the provided Digital DIN cable, and it worked fantastically, for both, DVDs and games.
    Now I bought a notebook and the only choice to improve onboard sound was the X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook. I thought that I could simply connect it to my Inspire 5700 by connecting optical out with optical in using a TosLink-Mini -> Toslink cable. While this may work for DVDs (I don't have the cable yet), it won't work for all other applications, because as I read optical connections only provide a stereo signal unless the signal it'ss encoded via AC3 or DTS.
    Of course there is the docking module which provides multichannel analog out. Trouble here: the Inspire 5700 only comes with two analog line in channels, front and rear. So that would lead to 4.0 instead of 5.1. Missing the center speaker for games is very bad.
    Therefore I am looking for a way to convert the analog signal coming from the docking module into something that can be decoded as a 5.1 signal by the Inspire 5700. I have already found the DTS-610 which would turn the analog signal into a DTS signal. But that costs more than the soundcard itself.
    So, my question: Is there any simpler / cheaper way how to transform multicable analog 5.1 to one-cable digital 5.1, either AC3, DTS or Digital DIN? I'd prefer a simple converter to Digital DIN, because that's what the Inspire 5700 was mainly designed for and it worked perfectly with my old Audigy.
    Alternatively, one could possibly also use some fancy software to convert all the wave-out sound into AC3 or DTS and send it along the optical cable. But I don?t know any such software plus I expect this to drain a lot of processor power.
    Any help is greatly appreciated it'ss kind of frustrating that two products of the same company can't be connected with each other, just because neither, the card nor the docking module provide Digital DIN.
    Thank you very much and best regards

    P.S. in another post, pjc said: You will probably require a 4-pole mini-jack > DIN converter to connect your Creative speakers to this socket.
    That's exactly what I'm looking for, but I couldn't find such a converter on the creative homepage.

    I believe the DIN for soundcard are mainly built and solely used by Creative. I don't think there is any 3rd-party converter in the market to do DIN. There is a software here posted by some other users that can do AC3 encoding on the fly. Not too sure where's the post now but you can do a search for it.

  • X-Fi Fatal1ty & SB Inspire 5700 - no digital

    I am having a big problem getting the X-Fi's digital out to work with my Creative Inspire 5. DIGITAL speakers. The speakers are OK as they respond to their own self test on their small remote which sends a sound to each of the 5 speakers & the sub-woofer in turn.
    The X-Fi speaker setup will not show any more than 2. speakers in the digital mode. This is NOT CORRECT. If I proceed in digital speaker setup, I only get sound from the front 3 speakers!
    This quote from Creative's known issues shows that the digital output from the X-Fi card should work in 5. using the multijack digital output!
    QUOTE...........
    4. KNOWN ISSUE
    4. Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5700 and DeskTop Theater
    DTT3500 Digital DIN Input
    Only front speaker outputs may be audible when multichannel audio
    signals are sent to Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5700 or DeskTop Theater
    DTT3500 via Digital DIN. The speakers may be in their default 2-channel
    mode. For multichannel speaker output, select the FourPoint/5. DIN
    bypass mode on these speakers.
    I assume the "bypass mode" means the "Fourpoint 5. DIN" position on the "Effects" switch on the Inspire's console.
    I have set the X-Fi multijack to "digital output".
    I have completely uninstalled all Creative drivers etc. Rebooted in "safe mode" and run Driver Cleaner Pro, to be sure! then done a clean install.
    I cannot get the 5. speaker setup to work under Digital and am not at all a happy man!! The Audigy 2 that I had in before worked perfectly!
    Using the analogue speaker outputs is NOT an option. The Inspire only has stereo ANALOGUE inputs and I want to use the analogue X-Fi outputs for the 3 jacks on my 5. earphones ..... without grovelling around behind the PC every time I change from speaker to phones!!
    I had the analogue 5. phones and 5. digital speakers working perfectly in the Audigy 2 setup!
    I seem to have spent ?45+ for a markedly inferior setup!!!

    Just read through the post
    X FI and No 5. DIGITAL surround out.
    from this board sometime ago! 6 pages of furious people!
    Why did my Audigy 2 work providing digital 5. sound out to the Inspire 5700 and the Xfi will not?
    Even Creative's own known issues say 5. should be available from the multijack output!
    As it stands the new card is an expensi've step backwards and is absolutely useless to me!
    I am seriously thinking of demanding a refund on my Inspire digital speakers as well as the useless sound card!
    Even my rotten old SB li've "5." worked with the Inspire 5700 speakers!

  • Creative Inspire 5700 VS Realtek. SUB NOT WORKING :(

    Dear all
    I recently beefed up my PC - tried to run my lovely Inspire 5700 through optical on my new Gigabyte motherboard, which didn't work (only got stereo sound) so i tried analoge (which only gave me a 5 speaker sound, no bass). I have tried messing around with the realtek dashboard but I can't get it to work!!
    How can I get my bass to work and get a full 5.1 surround sound using the two analogue pins and a realtek software?
    Best Regards

    D'oh! Well, that explains it. I should like to point out that it is a bit confusing for buyers to introduce a cable standard (nobody else in the business uses that kind auf Digital DIN connection, AFAIK) and then using it for something else altogether. The DIN connection was one of the reasons I chose the Sound Blaster over a competing product. I must say that I'm a bit diappointed since even the Users Guide I downloaded (to make sure I got the right product) states that the DIN socket is used for "connecting digital in-/outputs of multichannel speaker systems".
    All in all, it still bugs me that I won't get 5. on my 5700 except for the obvious Dolby Digital pass-through. Any way this might be done via a software update? Maybe somehow integrating a Dolby Digital encoder so I could use the Coax or Optical Out?
