Inspire Digital 5700 5.1 and X-FI

5 months ago I got my new pc and thought it would rock with my new x-fi cand and 5700 speakers but quickly found out the incompatiability. I have searched through many posts and I am confused. What would be the solution to make my combination work to the fullest for gaming/music?

Inspire 5700 Digital can't connect with analogue( three cables ), only with optical spdif or coax to x-fi.

4-pole mini-jack DIN converter is for sound blaster live 5.1, if you use with X-fi only have 2.0 sound (stereo) no 5.1. The best option is the optical/coaxial input in the 5700.

Creative's 4-pole mini-jack & Digital DIN:
You can only get the full use out of this connection when used between Creative Sound Blasters and compatible Creative speaker systems. It is the digital equivalent of the analogue connections, but instead of using 3 stereo sockets, you use just one digital socket. There are 4 conducting connections in the socket (unlike coax which has two) so there are enough connections to carry 3 different digital stereo signals (front R/L, rear R/L and Sub/Centre). You will probably require a 4-pole mini-jack > DIN converter to connect your Creative speakers to this socket. Using this connection will allow you to get surround from games (unlike SPDIF). However the digital DIN input on some Creative speakers can't receive AC3/DTS data, so you may still require an optical/coax connection.
N.B. This digital socket on the Sound Blaster cards doubles as the digital coax output. If you don't have digital DIN, you can use a mono or stereo mini-jack > RCA converter to connect to the coax input on your speakers, as the front R/L or AC3/DTS signals are sent through the tip of the plug.

Inspire digital 5700

i have the speaker sets, but i do not have the decoder/amp. I need to know where i can purchase one of these from. This is driving me crazy as i've looked everywhere for one.
Thanks

You have the speakers but not the Amp ? How ?
I dont think they sell it individually.

I have an inspire 5.1 digital 5700 that wont start up

i have an inspire 5.1 digital 5700 that wont start up
all the leds light up and thats all that happends
is there somebody who can tell me what's wrong?

Are you using the original Power Adapter? If you don't use a 4 amp +5 VDC Power Adapter to power the amplifier, this is exactly the response you will get. If that isn't it, then you have a problem with the Amplifier, would be my guess.
Good Luck!

Creative Digital 5700 Inspire 5.1

For years, I used speakers with my desktop that had a Creative Audigy2 Soundcard, via the Digital DIN connection.
Recently I switched to a laptop. Laptop has a 3.5 mm SPDIF output. I connected the SPDIF output to a 3.5mm male-to-RCA female adapter, then an RCA-to-RCA cable to the coaxial input of the Digital 5700.
However, I don't get any sound from the speakers.
any idea? is my setup wrong? how can i get any sound from the laptop to the speakers?thanks in advance.

Please check your speaker manuals first if you still have them. I don't think you will be able to feed your speaker with digital connection from your notebook. This is the reason :
1. Your notebook have a standard SPDIF connection, it's a industrial standard which work with every standard A/V receiver or decoder.
2. Your speaker (Creative Digital 5700 Inspire 5.1) have a DIGITAL DIN in, not a standard DIGITAL SPDIF in. DIGITAL DIN is a propietary connection, so it only works Creative sound card that have DIGITAL DIN out (your audigy 2 for example). Creative is notorious with it's DIGITAL DIN which only works between their own sound cards and speakers. (be careful, audigy2 nx and X-Fi have a standard DIGITAL SPDIF, unlike the rest of their comrades)
There is no way you can make the speaker work with your notebook, except you know how to hard mod it.
Creative team, please correct me if i am wrong.

Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 not working full on X-Fi please H

Audigy Platinum Ex and Inspire Digital 5500 Speak

Having li'ved with my old Cambridge speakers now for about 3 years years I have recently noticed a sound similar to a distant rumble of thunder on the speakers, the longer they are left on the lounder and more frequent the rumble becomes. So, as they are getting on a bit I have decided to invest in a new set of speakers - Creative Inspire Digital 5500's, but they have yet to arri've.
Have I made a mistake in ordering these speakers? I have read several threads that intimate there may be a number of problems/incompatibility issues.
From what I can gather I either have to plug the speakers directly into the Audigy card outputs to retain the software advantages (5. speakers, base, treble and EAX) and then lose the manual ability to control the volume from the supplied Inspire Amp/mixer OR plug the speakers into the Amp/mixer and lose the software control.
My main use for the speakers is listening to music, not really interested in Dolby output or watching DVDs, screen and study too small, but I do occasionally watch a film or TV episode on the PC.
If anyone can either confirm or deny my percieved error in ordering these speakers it would be most appreciated.

Hi All
Answering my own question for others to find should they have any qualms.
New speakers arri'ved and installed. Connected to PC via coaxial input and work fine on both stereo (front left and right speakers only) and Dolby Pro Logic (all speakers - WOW!!).
Using Audio HQ, supplied with my Audigy software, I can test the speakers but only the front right and left work with the test. However, all work fine with the speaker test from the inspire 5500 remote - so verdict:
I am impressed with the quality, easy set up and sound manipulation. EAX also works fine!

Digital 5700 Decoder

Hi,I have an issue with the Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 decoder( I did log a call with Customer Services, but I'll get to that in a bit!). Essentially, when I power the on, the LED light goes from red to green. I then select the output I require? everything is fine. Seconds later, the unit switches itself off and the LED light goes back to red! When I try to turn it back on again, it always goes back to red. I logged a call with Customer Services, who asked what happens when I "gently tap" the unit. The LED does go to green, but eventually goes back to red again. Customer Services also asked me for the serial number, which I duly provided (CAMF375047000040N). They came back saying that they had no record of that serial number on their system. I even took photos of the unit with the SN and sent them across, but they still came asking me for proof of purchase and a 3rd confirmation of the SN. I'm at a bit of a loss as I no longer have the proof of purchase. The unit is 2.5 years old, and possible out of warranty. But I would like to know if what is happening with the unit is a common problem and if there is a fix? If there isn't, then I'll have to throw everything away and start again. Many thanks

MasterRusty,
I have a post on here titled "inspire 5700's are junk" from back in Dec 2004, you are having the same problem with yours that I had so don't worry they will quit working altogether very soon. The digital decoder goes out in them usually within a year AFTER the warranty goes out so creative just says " oh well they are more than year old so too bad" I know from experience with them. There is nothing you can do about this except to pack them up and buy another brand. I stated before that maybe if enough people wrote in stating their problems with this system that maybe just maybe creative would realize that there really is a problem here and they would take a serious look into it and admit that yes we screwed up here and we will fix the problem for our customers, but I really doubt it because as I said before " they are the big company and we are the little people". I was told that "we can't offer unlimited warranties on our products" which I understand; but if you look at some of the other speaker companies they offer 2,3 even 4 year warranties, but again as I said you are really out of luck. I would really like to see Creative make a liar out of me and look into the problem and make things right for us, but I feel that is only a wish that won't come true.
good luck,
MrDave

True 5.1 from Audigy 2 ZS notebook to Inspire Digital 5

I have a audigy2 zs notebook and inspire 5700 digital speaker system. How do I get true 5. sorround with it (other than cmss upmix)? I tried connecting the speaker docking
cable(supplied with zs notebook) as below:
ZSN docking cable's green jack > tandem cable green jack > analog front input of inspire digital
ZSN docking cable's black jack > tandem cable black jack > analog rear input of inspire digital
ZSN docking cable's orange jack > 4pole minijack to Digital DIN adaptor (supplied with inspire 5700) > 5. Digital DIN of inspire digital
Settings on the inspire 5700 were:
Input selection: Digital DIN (tried this with and without Analog line in enabled)
Fourpoint 5. DIN
With the above settings, I'm able to get true 4 speaker sorround (tested it and calibrated it using creative's speaker settings). But whatever I do, there is no sound from
front center speaker and subwoofer. When I disconnect the orange cable, it makes no difference, from which I inferred that the sound I'm getting is only from the front and
rear analog inputs. How do I get the digital 5. DIN to work?

Is everything connected ok? Sounds like either your centre speaker got unplugged at some point, or you have swapped two sets around (so the front is going to the centre). Check they are firmly plugged in too, its easy to just half plug one in. Could be the speaker side connections too, so its worth checking them. I cant imagine the problem being more serious or complicated than that. Would be worth going through every connection and volume setting (both sides, at the speakers themselves, etc) just to be sure.
Might make it easier if u use the creative speaker test thing, where it goes through each speaker saying the name.
Hope im not just telling you things you already know, you seem pretty competent on the forums!

I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

To make Mail quit you'll need to perform a forced quit or, failing that, a forced shutdown.
When an application won't quit you can hold the Command and Option keys together and then type the ESC key. This (usually) brings up a dialog with all the running applications. Select the offending program and click the Force Quit button.
If this doesn't force the application to quit (quite rare) or if you cannot get the Force Quit Dialog to pop up, hold the power button for about 10 seconds to shut down the entire computer. This should be a last resort but sometimes is necessary.

Most efficient coding method to get from WFM Digital to Timestamp Array and Channel Number Array - Earn Kudos Here !

I'm Fetching data from a digitizer card using the niHSDIO Fetch Waveform VI. After Fetching the data I want to keep the Timestamp and Digital Pattern which I'll stream to TMDS file.
What is the most efficient method of striping out the Arrays I'm interested in keeping?
The attached VI shows the input format and desired output. The Record Length is always 1. I'll be streaming 100,000+ records to file using a producer-consumer architecture with the consumer performing a TDMS write.
I'm assuming only the WDT Fetch gives you the time from t0.

Hi bmann2000,
I'm not sure about efficiency but this method definitely works. I've just used a 'Get Digital Waveform Component' function and the 'Digital to Boolean Array' function.
Hope this helps.

The digital relationship of scanRate and sampleRate

Hello:
I'm using PCI-6024E DAQ board and labwindowscvi 5.0.1 to do some work.I failed to calculate the digital relationship of "sampleRate and scanRate" --- two parameters in the function "scan_op" of multichannels sample.Because when I set channelsnumber to 2(sample two AI channels),the scanRate to 500 scans per second and sampleRate to 800(400 samples per channel per second),I find sampling failed.When I change sampleRate to 1000(500 samples per channel per second) or 2000(1000 samples per channel per second),then sampling successed.So I think scanRate,sampleRate and channelsnumber must satisfy an digital relationship.But I failed to find it.If you know,please tell me,thanks.

Hello;
A value of 0 for the Scan Rate means there is no delay between scans and the effective scanRate is sampleRate / numChans.
When scanRate is not 0, scanRate must allow a minimum delay between the last channel of the scan and the first channel of the next scan. This delay must be at least 11 ?s on the AT-MIO-16X and 6 ?s on the AT-MIO-16F-5 and AT-MIO-64F-5. For E Series devices, this delay corresponds to the speed of the board. For example, 1 ?s for an E-1 board, 2 ?s for an E-2 board, and so on.
Hope this helps.

Take last 4 digits in Business Phone and add to IP Phone atttribute

Hope someone can help. We have all our users 10 digit phone number in Active Directory under the Business Phone. We are integrating our Phone system with AD but want to pull the IP Phone attribute from AD into the phone system. Does anyone know of a way
to look at the users Business Phone attribute and look at the last 4 digits of the number and add it to the ip phone attribute. We are hoping to not have to do this manually for each user.
Thanks,
Gavin

Hi Gavin,
Assuming you're referring to the 'Telephone number' field in ADUC, this will do what you're after:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=Test 1,DC=domain,DC=com' -Properties OfficePhone | ForEach {
$phoneNumber = $_.OfficePhone.Substring($_.OfficePhone.Length - 4, 4)
Set-ADUser -Identity $_.SamAccountName -Replace @{ipPhone=$phoneNumber}
This will replace the IP Phone field with the last 4 characters present in the telephoneNumber attribute for every user in the targeted OU.

I tried to use Apple Pay at the 1280 Lexington Ave store in NY but was asked for the last 4 digits of my cardnumber and it never worked.

I tried to use Apple Pay at the 1280 Lexington Ave store in NY but was asked for the last 4 digits of my cardnumber and it never worked. The question itself made no sense but I tried in vain by supplying it as well as the security code. I didn't know the last 4 of my proxy card number.

Open Passbook, select the credit card you are using, touch the Info icon on the lower right. This will display the last four digits of the ‘Device Account Number’. These four digits are what your retailer wants to complete the transaction, NOT the last four digits of your card number. Some retailers require this, others do not.

I cannot get Digital Editions to see and authorize my sony reader PRS-600

I cannot get Digital Editions to see and authorize my sony reader PRS-600. I am running windows Vista. I am registered and my PC is authorized, but I cannot get DE to authorize my reader. Any ideas?

Hi
Thank you so much to Reg for his answer to the above subject. I have been reading
/ searching / reading at both Adobe sites, Sony sites, library sites etc. for almos
t one month to find a solution to this problem.
I couldn't imagine that we had bought a device (Sony 650 Touch) that did not hold the correct software nor the correct manual. Unbelievable.
To those who come after me... go to THIS SITE http://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
and download the application for PC (top left) orMAC (top right). It takes time, but it works !
I'm just so happy now !!
