Inspire 6.1 6700 Speakers

I have been reading this forum to try to find information to re-vitalise my dead speaker system which is less than 3 years old.
I understand from Creative the volume control is subject to failure however they do not have any replacements!
Reading other posts I have been lucky the average life expectancy seems to be around 2 years!
I cannot afford to replace what should be a very stable component every two / three years so I am replacing with Logitech which I hope will last several years!
I share my experience in the hope that other prosepective purchasers can make an objective decison regarding their planned purchase of soundbalster products..

I'm afraid they aren't compatible. You can see which speaker works with the remote device from the product page.

  • New audigy zs 2 video with Inspire 6.1 6700 speakers

    hi, i had up til recently used a usb external extigy. i had ongoing issues with popping. then finally after leaving it disconnected and unplugged for a few days it decided not to power on when plugged in again.
    so i decided to buy the usb audigy zs 2 video device.
    got it today connected the device on its own first via usb installed software. have yet to install the may 10th updates.
    i connected the green, black, orange minijacks from the inspire 6.1 6700 , i also connected the optical cable from my satelite decoder which i had previously done on the extigy and worked fine.
    i initally got some sound when i turned on the speakers with the DIN connected rotating dial, but noticed that when i tried to up or down the volume the sound died and came back when dial was near middle.
    i have since rebooted, rechacked cables but now i have no sound at all.
    i have opened the windows xp sound volume panel and click on the sliders i can hear wave pings when you click on the sliders to move them so some sounds are working.
    i cant hear anything on the digital optical in. i also tried connect ing my x360 box to the optical but getting nothing.
    i just tested with a midi file, i can hear it but it sounds odd not as crystal clear as you would expect.
    sorry to go on but after spending so much, its should be very easy to get running properly. i shouldnt be having these problems. i am currently downloading the new drivers and updates.
    can someone clarify should the 6700 inspire 6.1 work fine or not with e audigy zs 2 video usb box?
    is some special way they should be connected, DIN to DIN instead of the 3 minijacks (front, rear and center)?

    i've got the inspire?5. and my controller is gone i cant get parts anywhere aswell and creative dont make it anymore although they told me that the inspire 2600 controller works with it aswell but i cant get bits for that either,
    give creative a call although the number isnt on there website because they are a bunch of retards just do as if you are ordering something over the phone and then ask to speak customer services and they will give you the number but the call centre is in dublin so go on the net and search for liek a number to call before it to make it alot cheaper. while your on the phone ask if they got any of mine in yet while your at it lol cheers

  • Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 bro

    I've just moved and when I first tried to power on my creative speakers they just won't.
    When I switch on the speaker with the little hand controller, the light in the middle just won't light. Also when I tune it on the pc I won't hear any sound, while with an older set of creative speaker it works.
    Because the light on the hand controller doesn't turn on, I suppose it might be a problem with the power adapter?
    I would like to know where I can order a new one. (reference MODEL TEAC-66-35000V)
    Anything else that can helpme solve the problem is welcome
    My product is probably out of warranty because it's been at least 2 years that I've bought them.
    I'm living in Brussels, and if you knwo any place where I can go, and have my product repair this is useful.
    Thanks

    hello I`m from Bulgaria. I have the same problem with my speaker system creative inspire 6. 6700... ? I can`t find a similar? adapter anywhere Please help ;( do you now from where i can buy an adapter or order it's?
    Thanks in advance ?

  • Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers problem

    Hello. I have Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers with SB Audigy Live! 24-bit installed Sound Card (it supports up to 7.1 speakers). Also I have Stereo Surround CMSS 3D settings (EAX)enabled. However when I'm listening to music or playing games my Rear Left speaker makes no sound. Before I had problem that Rear Right wasn't working (however rear left and right sound was on rear left speaker), but after replugging Rear Left doesn't work. Any ideas what might be the problem?
    Thanks for reading...
    EDIT:: I tried changing Rear Left and Rear Right speakers with each other in Subwoofer (where it connects) and Rear Left is working properly.

    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

  • Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers and Creative Vision M 30 GB

    hey i wonder if you could help me, i would like to get some Creative Inspire T600 5.1 Speakers
    for my vision m but i have read some reviews that you need 3 audio inputs to get all the speakers working so there isn't much point in buying them unless any of you know if there is an adapter or speakers like this in the same price range which will work fully with my vision m. also would these speakers work off a tv?thanks very much

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Center Speaker plays center sounds and rear sounds. Inspire 5.1 5300 speakers.

    My inspire 5.1 5300 speakers are set up for 5.1 surround sound. I have CMSS enabled. I hear static from the rear speakers. Everything seems to be set up just fine. But when I run the speaker test the front right, center, and front left work. The rear left and rear right speaker sound comes out of the center speaker instead of the rear speakers even though the center speaker also gives out the correct test sound.
    I have an audigy card, SB0090 is the model number. I don't know the retail name.

    I dont see how the sub wont work. It has the seperate front, rear, and center in. The sub should work with just the front in as far as i know. My SBS 450 seems to work that way... i have yet to get my inspire 5.1 working but ill find out if i happen to..

  • Creative Inspire 4.1 4400 speakers

    Hi, I just bought a new set of creative inspire 4.1 4400 speakers. I haven't got a 5.1 sound card. Can I just use it as a 2.1 instead, i.e. don't connect the other 2 rear speakers?

    Yup, that will work fine. Make sure you unplug the input at the speakers too (so only one input lead is connected).
    You could also use a 3.5mm headphone splitter at the pc side so the front sounds come from the rear too (and put the rear speakers next to the front speakers?).

  • Cables for Inspire 6.1 6700

    I have recently bought the Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 speaker set. Unfortunately my dog has chewed the cables to pieces. Is it possible at all to get a new set of cables from Creative? I went to my local store, they said this should be possible.

    That might be a good idea beacause your onboardchip doesn't really support surrounssound. For DVD-Videos etc. it must support Dolby or DTS sound and most Games need EAX. Unfortunately AFAIK only Creative Soundblaster support EAX above version 2. The cheapest way would be a Sound Blaster Live! 24-Bit, if you want EAX 4 it should be an Audigy 2 ZS, which isn't much more expensive if you chose the bulk-version. If you want the newest technique it would be an X-Fi extreme Musik that costs almost twice as much as the Audigy.

  • Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 Speakers

    I have Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 speakers. The "Wired Volume / Base Control with Power Switch and Headphone Jack" is malfunctioning. In fact, when I turn the volume control on, the green LED on top does not illuminate. And because of this bad control, I do not have sound. Can anyone tell me how and where I can replace this control? Your assistance is appreciated. Thanks very much.

    I'm also having the exact same problem, and so is a friend who has the same speaker/soundcard setup. Any help is appreciated!

  • Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 subwoofer not working

    I've had set of 6700 speakers for a couple of years now. About a year ago, my PC was upgraded to a 64 bit motherborard, with a crappy on-board sound card (uses Soundmax drivers). With the new motherboard, I lost control of the sound setup, & ended up with masses of bass from the subwoofer. After a while, all sounds deteriorated, & the bass disappeared (along with much sound from the rest of the speakers). I finally got the hell in and invested in a new sound card - Creative Soundblaster Audigy 4 excellent piece of kit. Now I have decent (controllable) sound from all speakers.... EXCEPT no sound from the subwoofer. I have tested all the contacts - everything seems to be plugged in OK. If I disconnect the power lead, I get a dull thud from the subwoofer - so something must be connected! Any suggestions what to try to get the bass working properly again? I've tried the various settings in the sound setup (e.g. max subwoofer volume) but get nothing.

    Try enabling the CMSS feature of your 5.1 Live! sound card, You could refer to our Knowledge for more information on CMSS.

  • Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 with Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard?

    I have a Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 with Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard, but the front-middle speaker does not work!
    It's not the speaker self who is defect, I test this by switchging the connector on the subwoofer with the rear-middle, then the front-middle is working right.
    I have switched to 5.1->6.1 on the subwoofer.
    What can cause these problem?
    Audio cables wrong connected to the audio-card?
    I use Windows 98SE as O.S.
    thanks in advance!

  • Inspire 2.1 2500 speakers - Release date

    Hi all,
    does anyone know when Inspire 2.1 2500 speakers comes out in the UK? It is currently only available in Usa and it looks like a pretty decent speaker.
    Thx,
    Big Dave

    I face a similar problem with my Inspire 2.1 3300. My right speaker--well, the speaker I put in the right speaker port in the subwoofer--has shorted out recently. I've had the system for around 2-3 years, and while I expect this to happen I would like to attempt repair anyway. I checked the connections at least fourty times, and yet this speaker is functional, breaking up, or very very quiet. I've moved the speaker cord around and found I can get some signal. I'm assuming this problem is in the speaker itself, after inspecting the woofer.
    Until my friend looks at it, I can't help you except agree on the situation. I'll get another post in here soon.
