Inspire T7900 and realtek AC97 subwoofer problems

Hi everyone,
I am not sure if anyone had the same problem, I recently purchased a set of 7.1 T7900 and I have a Realtek AC97 on board card.
The subwoofer works for some time then stop, then it goes again. I tried all the configuration possible, I updated the drivers. I even tried another computer (unfortunately another realtek for laptop). I swapped cables, I used another cable.
I can't figure out what makes it stop (or working).
Sometimes it works fine other time just refuse to work. All the other speakers are working fine. Just the sub.
I am not quite sure if is the sound board or a faulty subwoofer.
I tried everything but i still cannot link why it does this.
If anyone can help or have a suggestion it'll be appreciate!
thanks

try a computer with a sound blaster or something .. but from what your saying it could be a faulty woofer .. go to the service and let them check it.. it cant hurt

MOVED: Realtek AC97 STRANGE problem..

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Realtek AC97 STRANGE problem..

Yes. Everything seems okay. Realtek AC97 Sound is chosen everywhere, and everything seems perfect.
There is just no sound. Not even a "Click" when i turn mute on and off. Nothing at all..
When i look at the inputs on my board, i can see red light in the optical input, so i guess that the onboard sound is not broken.. :S
Im not using optical, but the normal "Green" input..

KT3 Realtek AC97 Sound problems

Running Win98SE on KT3 ultra with raid device manager shows Sound card and Drivers no conflicks, control pannel shows Multimedia greyed out therefor no applications will now run. Running msconfig and altering Startup to diag mode will allow to manually load all drivers. Using this procedure I witheld the CShook.vxd and this allows the boot process to activate the sound card but system looks like it is in safe mode.
Turning system back to normal and no sound again. Removed Cleansweep and internet sweep from startup reboot no change.
How can I tell what the device is that is causing the sound card to be in-operative.

As you don't give your PC's specs neither your applications runing, this could be an eternal guessing process.- I would say the better way to look for a solution would be formatting your HD and doing a fresh install with only basic hardware. (CPU, mem, video card) and then install sound. If it runs OK, continue installing hardware and programs one by one, resenting after each installing, untill the problem appears again. Only then you'll be able to find wich program is causing it. 8)

What's going on here?!! is that a BUG?
please help
grettz Kai

It sounds like the soundcard drivers aren't installed properly or aren't being properly configuring the speaker settings.
Try changing to 2.0/2.1 and 4.0/4.1 and see if those modes work with the speakers connected as they are. If they do then 'tis a software problem and uninstalling and reinstalling the Audigy drivers should fix it (hopefully).

Unexisted help or drivers or troubleshooting for inspire T7900

I have recently bought the soundsystem of Creative Inc. Inspire T7900 and since then I have not managed to install it normally . Soundmax Blackhawk recognise 6 of the 8 speakers (including the subwoofer ) windows media and generally the players use 2 speakers and the subwoofer and the video games have no sound which means nothing functions , 0 speakers . I don't know what to do no matter how consistently i have searched the web . Even the site of the company has not any drivers,updates or troubleshooting for this product . I am fully outraged and disappointed from Creative

xameleon,
Setting up the sound and getting sound from more than 2 speakers is down your soundcard/audiochip, not the speakers themselves. The speakers do not use drivers, they don't use software, that is all done by the soundcard. You need to check your soundchip's settings, and probably check the manual for your motherboard (or check with the support of the company you bought the PC from, if it was pre-built).

Inspire T7900 no sound from side...

Hi there, i've just buy an "Audigy2 ZSplatinium", an "Inspire T7900" and a "decoder DDTS-100"
i've try to connect my sound card to my sub without the decoder, i don't have any sound from side speaker, if i switch rear and side speaker, the speaker itself works, but it seems the sounds don't come to the side...
i've try to connect with the decoder, in analogic, and optical, same problem...
when i try to calibrate the audio systeme, i can hear sound from front speaker (all 3), both rear, but when the programs wants to test side one, i got a horrible sound, like "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III" at the place of the usual "left side" or "center".... i've try to finish the calibrate but the programs say my cable aren't connect well, i've RE-check all, it's good.....
i've all deconnected, uninstalled, and RE- install ALL the syteme.... same problem
I'm starting to become crasy.
I don't know if the probl?me comes from my sound card or my audio sytme....
PLS help me....

stiaros,
Not sure if you are able to install the EAX4 driver for your OEM card but you can try installing it - EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Update for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2/Audigy 2 ZS. After you are done installing that, do a search for this filename CTPANEL.EXE, you should be able to configure the card through this.

Asus A8N-E onboard Realtek AC97 and Creative Inspire P5800's

I am attempting to connect some creative inspire p5800 speakers to the realtek AC97 audio on my A8N-E. But when I run the connector sensing it senses the jack i have plugged into the lime/green socket as stereo line in. In the speaker configuration the lime/green socket is identified as Front speaker out. The jack at the other end of the lead is plugged into the correct socket on the subwoofer. The rear and center speakers work fine.Any ideas would be greatly appreciatedThanks

well there jason, since you asked, there are some of us who have the P7800 where there are four plugs on the side of the speakers and only three plugs on the computer side with asus mother board needing four. The only way around it is to disconnect the grey plug which is the bass and side speakers and bootleg to the bass which isn't how it is supposed to work.

STATIC with Dell Laptop and Inspire T7900

I've been getting really annoying interference whenever I plug in my speakers. I also have a problem getting a strong connection through the?output socket in the laptop(alot of wiggling the cable to get half decent sound). And lastly the laptop can only support front and back speakers at the moment. I think I need a USB connection instead, but how does this connect to the Inspire T7900? Is a decoder DDTS-100 the answer to my problems?Any help very much appreciated,Cheers,Michael

Your best bet is a 5.1 external sound card such as the Creative Live! 24-bit External. Although if you can find a usb2 one that would probably be better. The DDTS-100 is an option if your laptop has digital audio out, you shouldnt get any interference then. Or you could get a usb sound card that has digital and then such a decoder, but its probably cheaper to find a usb sound card with 5.1 analogue out. Just more annoying if you plan to keep taking it with your laptop

Creative Inspire T6200 Subwoofer Problem

Hi,
I am using Creative T6200 speaker set for one weeks and I have a subwoofer problem.
The problem definition:
-Nearly no sound from subwoofer (you hear it only when you close your ear on it)
-I didn't experienced or noticed the problem since yesterday. Yesterday while I was listening music on Winamp, the subwoofer sound suddenly disappeared. From that moment on, I was only able to hear the subwoofer two times but then it's sound disappeared again.
System specs and What I have done to solve:
-I have Vista 32 bit, Sound Blaster Live! 24 Bit, also another sound card (Realtek) embedded on my Asus motherboard, but this sound card is disabled from Bios.
-I am using the latest drivers.
-I tried various media players and some computer games but no change.
-This time I disable the SB Live!, and enable the Realtek sound card, but no change still.
-I had an old Philips 5.1 speaker system. When I plug it on, it's subwoofer works fine and loud, but when I plug T6200, it's doesn't!
Do you have any recommendation? I can't tell the problem is software or the hardware, maybe you can help me.
Thanks...

I also have these speakers, but haven't had any problems so far.
You could:
- check if every cable is connected firmly to the subwoofer.
- check your soundcard/media player settings: maybe the lower end of the equalizer has been killed, being the reason no sound comess from your sub.

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...

Disconnect the grey audio cable from the speaker subwoofer and grab a piece of 3.5mm minijack stereo cable. Connect one end of the stereo cable to the audio port on the speaker that you have just disconnected and the other end to your onboard audio side audio jack.

Amplifier for Inspire T7900 speakers.

Hi, for some while ago my subwoofer suddenly stopped working, and since the shop I bought it at has shut down, I couldn't get it fixed at all... so now, nearly a year later, I want to use my 7 speakers. Problem is, when I plug them into my computer using some cables I had, the volume is too low. I'm guessing the amplifier is inside the subwoofer...
So, I need a new amplifier. But people I've talked to say something about resistance and bla bla.. so it would be to great help if you could tell me exactly what I need to fix it. If I could I would buy a new subwoofer, but I can't find a package that doesn't give me speakers aswell. Thanks a bunch if you can help!

Inspire T7900 Broken ?

Hi all my Creative Inspire T7900 Speakers have stopped working and i cannot seem to find a solution or a reason why they have done so
i woke up went to my computer no sound thought it was a bit odd so i checked all connections all were fine tested to see if it was my computer no seemed to be fine, tested with another source to make sure still nothing no sound what so ever.
so the speakers are defiantly not working and i am not being incompetent at least i hope not...
The power to the speakers is defiantly working as the little green light on the volume and bass control is working so i doubt its a fuse or anything if any one has any ideas on what it could be i would be most great full if you reply
also i have contacted creative via email 3 days on no reply i just need some speakers working better thank these cheap 2 channel ones !
thanks

I have this exact problem, watched a film at night, sound was working fine, woke up the next day. No sound, very frustrating. The sound card is fine, I tested it with headphones. I've fully tested the unit with an iPod nothing comes out of the speakers, except if you leave the subwoofer connection half plugged in and plug a audio source into the input on the remote. Then you get very quiet sound which is a fixed volume and is also mono. This is the second unit from creative i've had go wrong in this way in as many years. Might have to pay Bose a visit.

Audio: Realtek AC97? Audigy?? Catalina??? Please discuss.

I have an MSI K8T Neo FiS2R (MS-6702) motherboard and I tried using the onboard audio chip - Realtek AC'97. I have the latest motherboard BIOS and I installed the latest Windows drivers for Realtek audio.
I noticed the following problems:
-It stutters VERY badly in games whenever there is a slight CPU hit.
-CD audio just doesn't work at all.
Is it just me or does everyone have these problems with the Realtek AC97?? I'm using Win98 SE so maybe that's part of it.
For now I shut it off in the BIOS and switched to my antique Soundblaster Live! Value card. Despite DestructiveLabs taking a big dump in the registry with the crappy drivers, it sounds much better.
BTW, if anyone has the Turtle Beach Catalina card, please let us know how well it works. I heard it has 8-channel 7.1 support on the cheap ($45), but it doesn't have builtin DSP which could put a burden on the CPU and slow down games.
Is Audigy really worth it? I heard Audigy 2 Platinum is like $170 now. Ouch! And rumor has it that the Audigy drivers cause a lot of issues.

The Catalina is a very nice card based on VIA's Envy24 chip - but it does not have hardware acceleration for 3D audio. For hardware 3D audio, the only viable cards are the Audigy2 series (the Audigy1 had noise problems, the Live! don't always get along with VIA based systems).
Though I'm happy with my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, there aren't going to be any new drivers released for it as the chip it uses is no longer in production.
