Inspire P580 Connecting to Laptop?

I recently got a new laptop and have moved, so I had to sell my PC. I wanted to keep my P580 speakers, so I brought them in an put them next to my laptop. I took one look and saw a problem. My laptop has input jack thing (The place where you would plug the speakers in) for the speakers, and the P580 requires 3 if I want to get everything, not just the central speaker. I was looking for a splitter but I can't find any, anywhere. Any suggestions?

Jmax,
You will need an USB sound card or something similar that supports 5.1 audio output. That single audio jack on your laptop isn't going to give you full surround. Check the documentation of your laptop to find out the audio capability of the audio device.

Inspire p580

Hi,
I have a inspire p580 5.1 speaker system. I recently wiped my system and cannot seem to find the installation cd to install the speakers to my system. I have tried searching for the drivers on the site and the web but have had no joy.
I have tried automatic detection but my system still cannot find the speakers. If anyone has any ideas on how i can get my speakers to work i would be very greatful as at the moment imn having to use 2.1 speakers and i am missing the surround sound
Thanks in advance
Oliver

sorry? the speaker sets are independant of the computer, the connection is made to the soundcard by analog or digital, but not in this case, connections, thus not interacting with the computer. they have no drivers or software. only the soundcard which powers them does.

Inspire P580 sound system problem.

As you see from the subject, i am using inspire P580 sound system. My sound card is Realtek AC97. SO, the front right speaker stopped working :/ everything is plugged into its place and if plug that panel into another socket IT WORKS, strange. sound controls are okay. Dont know what to do. socket couldn't be broken :/ thanks in advance for help.

ThirdFoot,
Try testing the speaker with another audio source such as portable/MP3 player.
1. Completely disconnect the speaker cable from the sound card.
2. Make sure the speaker cable is still securely connected to the speaker system.
3. Connect the Line Out connector of the speaker cable (usually green and is linked to the front speaker) into the Line Out/Headphone jack of the external device.
4. Power the device on and start playing audio.
5. Listen and make a note if there is not any sound or if the sound is distorted in any way.
6. Disconnect the speakers from the device and repeat steps 1-3 for Line Out 2 connector (usually black and is linked to the rear speaker) and Line Out 3 connector (usually orange and is linked to the center/sub speaker) if the speaker system has more than 2 speakers.
If everything seems to work fine in the above test, then the problem may lies in your soundcard and not the speaker.
The above test information is obtained from the Knowledgebase article SID273.

Availability of Inspire P580 PSU in the US?

Hi,
I'll shortly be moving from the UK to the US, and I own a UK-bought Inspire P580 5.1 speaker set. Due to the voltage difference (220/240V vs 110/120V) I'd need a new, US-sourced 110V PSU in order to use the speakers in the US.
Is it possible to buy a compatible PSU from Creative Labs US? Are there any third-party PSUs I could use instead?

If it's an external power supply. The answer is YES!

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Iphone 3 not charging or connecting to laptop

Hi, my mate has brought his iphone 3G to me to see if i could assist with problem.
when the phone is plugged into the mains on charge the apple symbol apperas and is there for some time before anything happens.
It then dissapears and when you press the home button on the front it says ios 6 and slide bar saying set up.
The top of the page is saying searching and there is battery symbol.
upon sliding thebar it requests connect to apple i tunes. upon removal from charger everything instantly goes off and upon connection to laptop via lead nothing ever happens. after a while the apple symbol flashes slowly but this is the end of things.
the laptop/itunes donot reconise that phone is plugged in.
Does anyone have any answers for a fix or is the phone finished????
The phone was working as normal before any problems, he took it into store and they said liquid corrosion which is not right.

Charge the iPhone to a wall outlet.
Try a different USB cable.
Try different USB ports.

Just updated KIES and can no longer connect my laptop and S4?

I've been using KIES for a year. Was just prompted to update it. Did so (to version 2.6.0.13091.9) and now I can no longer connect my laptop and Galaxy S4.
I'm getting the following message which is, of course, nearly worthless:
     Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode.
     Current connection mode not supported by Kies.
     Check the USB settings.
     (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging (x))
1) "PC Studio" has no actual meaning; after searching online I found what they're trying to tell me is the phone must be in MTP mode rather than USB debugging mode.
2) The Settings path above is wrong; I DID manage to find the proper path to turn off debugging & switch to MTP, but that doesn't help.
3) uninstalled & reinstalled KIES; no help
Any ideas?
I know 1000's of other people are having this problem, so I'm a bit surprised VZ doesn't have a ready answer here.

    Hey there mjr123,
I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Samsung Kies software. This is actually a third party application offered through Samsung, so I would recommend reaching out to Samsung's support team for the best assistance.

Inspire P580 PSU seems dead

Hello!
I need some help. I've got an Inspire P580 Speaker set from a friend but it seems that the power supply is dead. I tested the kit with my P380's PSU justo to see if it was in fact from the PSU and the kit worked, but as would be expected, poorly since the difference in power output from the PSUs is there.
So, my question is where do I get a new PSU to the P580 ?
Thanks!

Connecting HP laptop to my television

When I connect my laptop to my television, my tv displays the laptop screen and sound, but not video. These are the steps I followed:
I connected my laptop to tv with hdmi cord.
Using tv 'source', I choose appropriate hdmi setting.
I chose second screen only option on my laptop.
My laptop 'desk top' was displayed on the tv screen. (Good!)
I opened 'Netflix', and it was also displayed on tv screen. (Stll good!)
I clicked on a movie to watch...suddenly the tv screen is black, but the tv does have sound. (NOT good!)
Do I have to change a video setting on my laptop? I don't know how to do this.

I have want to connect my laptop to a projector but it dosnt work, how do I do it?

I have want to connect my laptop to a projector but it dosnt work, how do I do it?

Hi! In order to connect a macbook pro to a projector you will need to purchase this cable and attack it to the cable from the projector. This way you have a connector that can be plugged into your computer:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
If you already own this cable and are having problems mirroring the display from your computer on the projector screen, go to system preferences>displays and then hit arrangement tab (note: this will only appear if the projector or external monitor is attached) and then hit the checkbox that says mirror display.
If you are having other problems, please elaborate so that I can provide a better answer.
