Inspire T3100, problem with crackling.

Hiya,
I picked up a pair of Inspire T3100 speakers from PCWorld today as they were on sale and I can't pass up a bargain. I have a problem however, when I booted up a movie using Windows Media player sometimes the speakers would crackle, at one point the crackling was so violent I had to pause the movie. The crackling isn't constant and isn't happening when listening to MP3s.
I have the sub under the desk by my feet and I have the 2 speakers as far apart as my top PC shelf will allow. I'm running the speakers with a Creative SB Live! 5.1 external sound card which is placed above my tower on a shelf.
Any help would be great, thanks.

    I have a similar problem with an update to a book I've had in the store for about a year now. The Glossary links in the text work within IBA but only a couple of pages contain live links when the book is published and viewed on the iPad. I've contacted IBA support as well as this forum but nobody seems to be interested in solving this problem. Very frustrating.

  • Creative 6.1 Inspire 6700 - Problem with the volume (amplifier unit / plate)

    Hello everybody!
    I have bought a Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 on January of 2004 and yesterday I found out that the amplifier unit (which is on the back side of the sub) is malfunctioning.
    Actually when I try to turn on the volume from the wired remote control the sound is heavily distorted and the green led is very dim (not bright like it used to be).
    The power adapter is good, the fuse inside the amplifier plate is good, so it must be something within the amplifier unit / plate.
    Can anyone throw some light into this? Do you know if I can buy from somewhere, just the amplifier plate?
    Thank you for your time and effort!

    I think i might have the transistor problem but how do i know if its blown or not? Sorry but i'm not electrical engineer :P
    Just look at the plate from the bottom side. Probably you will see some spot or region of yellow color (burnt out).

  • Having Problem With Inspire 5.1 5300 rear speaker...

    After using my inspire 5.1 5300 for few year... right now im having problem with my rear speaker... just one channel was unable to start... Anyone know about repairing for speaker ? I Have try to switch to other channel it seem that just that rear speaker was unable to start... all should be ok... week before i still hearing sound from that rear speaker... but now it was unable to start. Anyone Have Any Idea Please Tell Me. Thank You

    Just to clarify, by "FCP 5 friendly source material," he means video files that are a format (codec) that FCP 5 supports. What FCP 5 supports can be found in the EASY SETUP list. If the format you are working with isn't there, say if your footage is H.264 or MP4 or some other web compressed format, FCP won't work properly.  It needs to be in an editing codec if you want FCP 5 to work with it.
    Also, you need to make sure that your sequence settings match the settings of the footage you are trying to edit. If you add a clip to the sequence, and immediately have to render, that's a big clue to say that something isn't right. You should edit without rendering at all. 
    The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu. Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence.  This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with.  So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
    This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured

  • New Problems with IPod nano - crackle and clicking

    Hi,
    I got the IPod nano (2GB) a view weeks ago. I haven't changed anything - only copied mp3 songs and photos on it.
    Today suddenly during jogging the nano starts to crackle and click - like an old analog tape. This didn't stop any more even after a lot of resets. I have connected my IPod with USB-2 onto my computer and recharged the accu completely. After disconnecting properly the problem is still the same. Also the buttons and the wheel don't work correctly anymore. Has anybody similar experiences? It seems apple has big trouble and problems with this new product. Maybe the IPod nano isn't fully well-engineered jet.
    I am looking forward for your help and suggestions.
    Thanks in advance!
    Your Stephan

    Hi Mike,
    and what did you do finally?
    Did you bring the Ipod back to
    your dealer for an exchange?
    My IPod didn't get wet during
    jogging I have carefully kept an
    eye on it.
    Is this a general problem with the IPod
    or only with some units?
    Thanks

  • Problem with inspire 280 speakers

    well i own creative inspire 280 speakers but im having trouble with them. First when i connect it to some devices background electric noise appears when im not playing anything, then if I connect the jack till the end, the played sound will only be mono, the only way to play it stereo is if i dont put the 3,5mm jack till the end but it still shows some background noise. How can i solve this issue?

    i have a similar problem with my 280 speakers.

  • Problem with inspire 5100 digital decoder

    I have some problem with the decoder included with the Inspire 500 digital. I usually have it connected by soundblaster's audigy digital out to decoder's coaxial digital in (SPDIF). and recently sound has dissaperas replaced by a chipping and cropping low noise. Have you any ideas about it's. When I connect the soundblaser's speakers out to decoder's line in works only for stereo (losing 5.1 capabilities), and bypassing the decoder i can get 5.1 sound, but i can't use the included remote control to change volume or anything.
    Thank you.
    I'm sorry for my poor english, it's not my native lenguage.

    I'm not sure exactly how you're connecting things. You say you connected an optic out to a digital DIN on the receiver? These are totally different connectors.
    The output on the card itself isn't optical. What you could use is a minijack to RCA (female) adapter, and then connect a standard RCA to RCA, male to male (SPDIF) cable to that, which plugs into the coaxial input on the receiver. Alternati'vely you could use a minijack to Digital DIN adapter and connect the DIN cable to that, and connect to the receiver.
    Do you have the SBLi've 24-bit External? Do you mean you connected the optical output to the optical input on the receiver?
    It may be best to contact Customer Support to speak to them one-on-one, to go over the connections and settings, if you're unsure of which to use.

    the creative sound blaster audigy which is recomended for this kind of speakers,i have checked anything about settings but nothing...i also have tried different operating systems(xp home sp2,xp proffesional sp2) but the problem remains..
    if you need additional information, my pc is new very good system(intel core quad proccessor,motherboard asus p5kc) so i can't find out where is the problem!
    can anyone help me plz?

    Hi, I have the same problem. Actually, it was working for a while, then all of a sudden: no sound from any of the speakers! Plugging headphones into the remote works, so there doesn't seem to be a problem with the connection between computer and the system; but there's definitely something wrong with the speakers... Any ideas here? I was really enjoying them up to this point...

  • Anyone else had this problem with the 2.1 Inspire T2900?

    Problem is as follows
    The speakers seem to vary in their output quality/volume. I will be playing mp3s (High bit rate) and they will be sounding awesome then out of nowhere at a random point the volume drops slightly and the speakers seems to loose I am not sure what to call it, their presence/richness/depth.
    The problem once it happens seems to stay for as long as it likes then suddenly I will turn the speakers on a few days later and they will sound great again.
    Not my Audigy soundcard because this doesn't seem to happen with other speakers.......
    Anyone ever had a similar problem with this speaker set?! It is near impossible to test because it is so random.
    I have looked around on the net and there seems to be a problem with fluctuating volume with the wired remote speaker types but in this case the speakers seem to be loosing more than just volume.....

    I would also suggest RMA for that. You can contact support at http://us.creative.com//support/custsup/

  • Problem with my Inspire T6100

    When Im listening music or watching movies sound of my system RISE or go LOWER alone. Please someone tell me is that a hardware problem or what. Im warried about my system!
    I have seen another people with this strange problem, and no answer. Pls, help with this.

    I check every inch of this cable and others. It's look good to me. Is that any chance the problem is in the cable and it cant be seen, because on the surface of the cables there's nothing.
    Mmm, is there a chance to have a problem with someone of the jacks of the sound card ?

  • T3100 problem

    Hi guys
    Some years ago i recived as present the inspire T3100 speakers. They did a great job until a day the right speaker (the one with volume control) stopped to work. I came back where my girlfriend bought 'em but they were out of the guarantee...so...nobody seems to be able to fix em...what can i do?...i'm angry cause they are very good speakers but i use my very old (and very cheap) speakers. I don't wanna throw em.
    P.s. The left speaker works fine, the right quite never...it's not a softwere problem..i checked the cables too.
    Please help

    yes you're missing codec. it has nothing to do with your speaker.

  • Problems with Presonus Firestudio and Logic

    I am having problems with compatability with my brand new Presonus Firestudio recording interface and Logic pro 8. I am new to logic but not to home recording, and i cant understand what might be the problem. When i use the firestudio with garageband it works easily. In the garageband sound preferences there are input AND output channels that the user can define. (i.e. you can set your input channels to come from the firestudio while the output channels go to the computer speakers or headphone jacks or whatever you define it as).
    From what i have seen in logic, there is only one option for your audio settings. when in preferences and under audio, there is a "device" setting in which you can define your audio device. Wheather this is input AND output for the program, i do not know. but the problem i am experiencing is that whenever i choose the firepod as the input device, no sound from logic will play from the speakers whatsoever. My first thought was that maybe ouput was going straight to the firestudio, but after plugging headphones into it this also did not work. Has anyone had success getting their firestudio to work in logic? if so let me know what settings you had to use, and how you got to moniter your input from from the firestudio via your computer.
    p.s.
    another WIERD problem i have run into, is that if i shut off the firestudio while logic is open, alot of times it will shut down my whole computer. i have never heard of this happening. what am i doing wrong?
    thanks!

    ah, I was hoping to find my solution here, but alas the thread is gone...
    I recently bought a Macbook running Leopard, and am having difficulties with my PreSonus Firestudio Project thru Logic and Mainstage. I can get audio input and output just fine, but there's a ton of distortion/crackle. Kickstarting the sample rate seems to clear it up for a minute or two, but then the crackle comes back. The recorded tracks sound clean if I unplug the Firestudio, so apparently it's only in the monitoring stage?
    On the PreSonus board, they're claiming it's Apple who needs to update drivers for Leopard; PreSonus says the "Firestudio Project is Leopard compatible."
