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.

Solution for sound system problem (built-in speakers)?

I have my macbook pro since 2012 and I never had a problem. I was listening to music on youtube this morning when the sound started to be not clear. It's like my built in speakers are not built in anymore and are far away from my mac. It's quite annoying because it's the same issue with all the software (Itunes, Skype....) Some has clue and can help me. Thanks in advance.

TS3274 iPad 2 sound system problem on aps

Sound stopped working on some aps after iPad was updated. How to regain sound on these aps?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Sound System Problems

I Have a 350 MHZ iMac G3 with Mac OS X Panther installed. I purchased the unit from ebay and it was originally from a school. Anyway sometimes when the volume is abit too high the speakers go out and the sound pref panel shows that the headphones are plugged in,but they arnt. So i have to plug in the headphones into the front left jack and jiggle it then pull it out before it starts to go back to the regular speakers again,but sometimes it does it randomly even when the volume isnt that high at all. Also they sometimes crackle and pop when im doing this. Now the microphone,sometimes it works,other times it doesnt and when i listen to it using soundstudio,it has a loud static sound,thats very loud. Is this some kind of short or is something loose. Thanks.

A headphone jack has an internal shunt that makes/breaks the connection between the individual leads connected to the jack, when the plug is inserted. The movement of the shunt is what mutes the internal speaker(s), when the headphone is connected. If the shunt is worn from excessive usage or tampering, it may not be making good contact to close the circuit and feed sound to the internal speakers. When you insert the plug and manipulate it, you're flexing the shunt so that it seats better when the plug is removed. You might try an aerosol electronics contact cleaner, and give the port a quick blast. If that doesn't help, the jack itself might need replacing.

Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

What is the best way to hook up my Creative Labs Inspire 5.1 sound system to my new iMac?

We recently purchased a 27" iMac and want to use our Creative Labs Inspire 5.1 sound system with it. How do we make this connection to get the most out of the sound system?

If I am not mistaken, your 5.1 came with 3 plugs that are meant to go into a regular PC. If that's the case, you should have received a Y like cable, that connects any none channeled sound source, like an iMac, and helps distribute it as 5.1. But they also make a curious USB device to help connect it.

An outboard audio device, if you really want to get the max out of your 5.1.
Unfortunately that is a Windows only device:
System Requirements
Minimum System Requirements
Microsoft ® Windows ® 7, Windows Vista ®, Windows XP (Professional x64 Edition, Service Pack 2 or above)
So it won't work.

Sound playback problems on 5.1 systems

Hi all
Does anyone know why after completing projects using iDVD 5, although the resulting DVD soundtrack plays back fine through the standard stereo outputs of a DVD player, (or Apple DVD player etc) there is always a sample rate problem when playing back through 5.1 sound systems? It's quite infuriating that you can't playback finishd iDVD projects in the same environment set up for commercially available DVD 5.1 viewing without grunging, clicking & pitch change problems.
Does iDVD resolve its DVDs with a different sample rate to commercially available DVD's?
Thanks in anticipation Richard

Thank you so much for opening this can of worms with me Hui !!
Given that our iDVD software produces soundfiles that the Dolby 5.1 system actually DOES play back at all, I have to confess to being confused as to why these 2 channels simply seem to be coming back at the wrong sample rate??
I'm actually a musician putting together a showreel of movie clips and so have a pretty good idea of what it sounds like when things go wrong if a piece of audio kit plays something back at the wrong sample rate in the studio. My simplistic view of what's going on is that our stereo sound files are being decoded back to analogue by the Dolby 5.1 system at the wrong sample rate .... it's the same sort of effect that you get if you are playing back a 48khz sound through a poor 44.1khz convertor .... so if we could somehow change the sample rate of the soundfiles that iDVD encodes to whatever the "usual commercial DVD movie sample rate" is ..... our DVDs would playback fine!
Of course this is probably naive nonsense .... there must be some technical reason why iDVD elected for a different sample rate but I wonder why??
Best wishes Richard

G60 442OM Sound System's Problem

I bought this G60 442OM in 2009.9. But the sound system became unstable soon. I don't know whether it is the problem of speaker or the sound card. When it plays something it always includes sounds like zi,zi. And the volume waves too.
Is there anybody who knows how to solve the problem? Thanks a lot.

System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Make sure Mute is not enabled.
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

A solution to the S750 speaker system problem

Well my s750 died just like everybody elses. But after creative wanted me to pay 75% of my purchase price, I found a better solution. Nope, I am not fixing the unit like you guy's. I do not see the need to fix a poorly design system! I am not sure if creative or indigo/bash/blade audio is to be blamed. But if I had to pick, I would say "indigo/bash/blade audio". Years ago before blade audio became indigo, I had a chance to visit their location in ontario Canada. This was just when they stop making the blade audio car amps.
While I was there, I happened to see this long list of brand names they had started to make amp modules for. Names like Harman International, Klipsch and so on. Anyway I cast the blame on indigo for this reason: Some years ago I had purchased a set of "harman international" infinity IL series speakers. Like our creative s750, the infinity shares a bash powered subwoofer system. And just like the s750 the infinity subwoofer like to blow up too! In the case of the infinity, the power supply was the weak link. The amp module in the infinity at that time, was built just like the blade audio car amps before. Which in my opinion is a much better design than what is being used in the s750. I remember one of the sale guy at circuit city at the time saying, "I wish we would drop this model". He went on to tell me the failure on the powered units were very high. You know there is a problem when the mid level Creative Inspire T7700 7.1, out last the flagship s750. Now, whats my better solution you guy's want to know? Two words , Simplifi Digital! The 7075a 7.1 amplifier along with Definitive Technology Pro Sub1000 and the remaing surround speakers from my s750 system. Yes, it did cost me more to go this route. But what I now have is a much more reliable system. And a sound that the s750 can only dream about. My s750 died while I was listening to Dave Bruebeck quartet "take five" at mid volume. With my current setup, I can listen mid volume all day long with no hiccups.
For those who my have the cash to spend. I recommend looking at my direction!? Keep this in mind, make sure whatever powered subwoofer you choose, is adjustable up to 50hz. The creative surround speakers dont play very well below 20hz. Also make sure whatever powered sub you choose don't use a BASH amplifier. For those looking at the s750 as a purchase, good luck. Or go over to partsexpress.com and get the Dayton Part Number 300-670, surround speakers. Then get the simplifi digital 7075 7.1 amplifier and power subwoofer of your choice and make a better/best system. Sorry Creative Labs! This post is NOT intended to cast negativity. I use and like the products you offer. I just do not like the s750, and the reasons are all over this forum and elsewhere on the net. I currently own 3 audigy 2zs sound cards, three Inspire t7700 speaker system, three sound blasters modems and yes, one defective/dead s750 speaker system. If anything use this post as a positive to what Creative Labs could offer in the future. A system like I now have, sure would be nice with the Creative name all over it.

My system specs below. What I have now simply blows the S750 away. And this is mated to my Audigy 2zs card. I am tempted to try my Terratec Aueron 7.1 universe which does sound better than my 2zs. The Simlifi Digital amplifier is one serious unit. This amp has one HUGE toroidal transformer inside of it! I was able to see it thru the vents on top of the cover.

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 with SB live

I'm running a SB live sound card with the inspire 5.1 P580 speaker system.
The 5.1 works from a DVD. However when playing mp3s its only working on the left channel (front & rear)
any suggestions ? i.ve checked all the settings and they are all set to centre.
thanks

It sounds to me like your SBLi've Value _doesn't_ support 5., and you're trying to use its digital out (only) jack as a center/sub jack. A big clue is the color of the digital jack furthest from the gameport connector. Pre-5. (4-channel) cards have a dedicated digital jack (which is also 4-channel) coded yellow. 5. SBLi've cards have this jack switched according to the "Digital Output Only" setting between analog center/sub and digital front/rear, coded orange.
