Inspire p380 volume control

Hello, this is my first post here.
I have a little problem:i have connected my old inspire p380 speakers to my xbox 360. The problem is that having done that, i cannot set the volume because the volume wheel is on the cable that goes from the speakers to the pc, which cannot be used with the xbox 360.
Is there another way to set the volume?
Thanks in advance?

It's constantly making the sound go in and out, loud then quiet, and when you try to change or touch the pod it even cuts off completely.
Is there anyway I can get this replaced or am I going to be stuck with a perfectly good set of 7 speakers + a subwoofer that can no longer be used? After searching this problem and finding many others have had it, I suspect the latter. =/
Thank you
Hi sandsglands,
This is an old speaker model. However, I still suggest you contact Creative Support for any possible replacement of the volume control pod.

  • Creative Inspire P580 volume control probs

    Reading through some of the posts on these forums, it is quite apparent that there is a very obvious fault with certain Creative speaker systems. I've used my P580's for over a year now, and has been working fine, although I've now changed to the Logitech Z-5500's instead, but I want to use these for my PC in the living room, but the wired remote control is no longer working. Therefore, I can't operate the system. Before it gave up the ghost, the volume would keep on fluctuating, and even just tapping it would increase the volume tenfold. It's completely not working now, even though the speakers are fine. The documentation states that you can buy a separate volume control unit through the Creative shop, but I can't find it. Any help?

    This sounds like a customer support issue rather than a forums one but I guess it is possible someone from Creative will respond here. Your better bet would be to submit your problem here and deal with the problem through Creative's Customer Support system. They may be able to ship you a new part for a charge or help you fix the problem.
    How, exactly, is the volume control broken?

    If you have any simple way to do the same it will be very helpful

    Just change the check after the Lexical Class function.  If you just want numbers and letters, then use the In Range & Coerce function to check for class numbers 3 through 5.  Play around with the logic some more until you get what you need (I'm thinking that AND should be an OR).

  • Inspire 6.1 6600 volume control off

    the problem is the speaker power volume control because I have try the headphones and the sound is good...and the power working but the green light of the power/volume is off and the speakers are mute...
    Someone can help?
    thx,
    alex

    Try contacting Creative Labs support through the website or over the phone. They'll be able to supply you with the part, provided the speakers are still in production. CLs are usually quite good at that.

  • Inspire P380 wired remote not working...

    hey guys
    juz recently bought the inspire p380 2.1 speakers from the SITEX PC Fair in singapore.
    btw, im from malaysia and now im having problems with the wired remote
    it has loose connections on the jack connector (the green thingy)...
    and the sound produced in the speakers is kinda... fussy
    the wired remote did work for a couple of weeks b4 this problem appeared...
    so my prob is, its hard for me to claim my warranty and send this back for repair
    coz i bought it in singapore and the staff there told me if i want to send my product for repair, i will have to go back to the main creative HQ in singapore
    or a creative service centre located in another state here in malaysia, which is like 2 hrs dri've away from my place here
    so how am i suppose to claim my warranty?

    I am diagnose the problem, it's due to the new firmware so if Creative read this, can you put the remote control compatibility in new firmware? !!
    how did you diagnose the problem? unless you have 2 identical zen player. one with latest firmware and another with older firmware to actually test it to confirm it's the firmware problem. I'm still incline to believe either your player is faulty or the remote is faulty and the problem is not due to the player firmware.

  • Building volume control.... GGRRR help pls!

    ,Building volume control.... GGRRR help pls!? I have lost the volume control for my Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers.
    Now i down want to spend like 20 on a new one so i thought about building a make sift one.
    ok starting at the top going clock wise for pin numbers.
    when i connect up pins 2 456 the speakers will come on at full volume but for the life of me i cannot figure out how the volume control came in to it.
    I am assuming that you just whack a pot on it somewhere. spent all day trying to figure this but it is iluding me and starting to wind me up as i dont think it shouldnt be that hard to figure it out.
    Also i know a lot of people who have had this prob but no answers have been figured from the 3 nights searching the web for a pin out or circuit diagram of the actual control unit,
    If any one has a picture of one or even a circuit diagram of the volume control unit please email them to me at [email protected]
    Oh and creative... I dont want to sell it or make any money i just want the speaker system working again.
    Thanks guys / Girls

    The digital output was triggered some how. Use a toothpick and feel around to unclick it. Its around the 3 oclock position.
    If you feel uncomfortable doing that you can try inserting and removing a headphone jack till the light goes away.
    Basically there is a switch in the jack that either tells the computer to send out "regular" audio or "digital" audio and yours seems to be stuck in digital mode.

  • Broken volume control

I was wondering if there was a replacement volume control remote that maybe i can buy or you can send me? here is the SERAIL NUMBER: SG4400248005325. please let me know as soon as possible. thank you

    Hi
    I have the same problem with the Inspire T5400 system. Creative just don't seem to sell replacement volume controls which is really really outrageous, when it is a part which fails so often (we have two failed at the moment).
    Do they seriously expect people to go and buy a whole new system just for one tiny weeny part?
    And we are supposed to be reducing the amount we put into landfill .......
    I have emailed the company today about this issue but suspect I will hear nothing useful.

  • Replacement Volume Control

    I am looking for a replacement volume control for a Creative Labs / Cambridge Soundworks MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D. I have not been able to find one on this site or the Cambridge site. Are they available for purchase anywhere? I love the speakers, but the buttons on the volume control were not very sturdy. After a little wear and tear, the clicking mechanism basically stopped working with the up and down volume buttons. I did go in a re-solder the connections and that seemed to work for a while, but now the volume will go up and down at random times and I would just like to replace the controller at this point. The connection from the controller to the subwoofer appears to be proprietary and not some standard RCA type jack. So, I guess I cannot buy a universal or generic replacement. Money is not really an issue, but I am really happy with the speakers, and it seems crazy to replace my whole speaker system when the only issue is with the volume controller. Please help!

    This seems to be common amongst creative speaker sets.
    I've experienced the same issue (poor build quality on the one thing that'll be used the most) with my Inspire T5900 and T7900 sets.
    I don't understand why the controller needs each channel routed through it (or so it seems), and why the replacement part seems impossible to come by - coupled with a year warranty.
    Defective By Design imho.
    My next set of PC speakers will be Logitech if I can't obtain spares or a datasheet to make my own.

  • Unable to use volume control ipod itouch 5.1.1

    hello,
    itouch didn't have a problem with volume slider until recently. through other websites, i have since located the volume slider in music playing mode by double tapping the home button and scrolling to the left but it lacks any button to scroll to increase the volume. music plays well via a sound dock but that has it's own volume controls. sometimes when docking it plays through the handset speakers until seated correctly so i know the internal speakers do work.
    any light on the matter would be very much appreciated!!!

    I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who was having the same problem as you. Although you say the camera playback is set properly, please recheck this. go into your camera's playback menu>menu>standard set>VCR HDV/DV. Unplug your firewire from the camera. Make sure camera is set to HDV NOT auto. replace firewire cable. Now open FCP. Go in Audio/video settings>A/V devices (farthest tab on right). In box for playback edit to tape different from video output (make sure it's checked) mirrored (checked) Video playback 1080i50, Audio HDV. I hope that works now.

  • I need help with voice memo and volume control

    I really dislike to update my iphone's software.  I have Iphone 4S and I have been using voice memo to record lectures for sometime. 
    It was working well till updated my Iphone's software (IOS or whatever that is).  Now I can't transfer my voice memo to my computer
    and I have tried so many things people have suggested online which are 1. restart my mac book, 2. turn off and on my Iphone 3.
    check voice memo when syncing my iphone with macbook.  It is not working.  Also, I totally messed my volume control.  I went to
    Genuis bar and the lady who helped told me that my Iphone has some issues before which is making my Iphone go nuts.
    In short, 1.  I cannot sync my voicemail
                 2.  my volume does not work....i have to turn it on and off
