Left speaker only quit working on 5200

I have the Inspire 5.1 5200 speaker set and there's no longer any sound from the left front output. The problem seems to be the internal system of the subwoofer since I tested the cables, the speakers, and the soundcard. Output directly from the soundcard works fine with headphones.
The problem seems to have started when I loaded Win-XP but I can't imagine how that would have anything to do with it since the output from the soundcard is fine.
Is there anything inside that subwoofer that can be repaired? Does this sound familiar to anyone? Do I have to make a run to the dumpster?

I am having the same problem....exact same speaker quit working. I also get a few popping sounds when my pc comes on and also when trying to play a game. It gets frustrating because when a character in the game talks it pops thru the whole conversation. I thought it was my sound card - Audigy Gamer Card but then I bought this one - Audigy 2 ZS but it is doing the same thing. I hate to go out and buy a whole new set of speakers to verify that is the problem.
My system is:
P4 3.06 Ghtz
024 Meg Ram
2 80 gig Hard Drives
DVD Drive
DVD R/RW Drive
Floppy Drive
Speakers - Creative Inspire 5. 5200
I have built my system April 2004 and the problem started about 3 weeks ago. Will someone from Creatives Tech support actually respond to this?

    The speaker is only on the right. The holes on the left are for the mic.

  • My iPhone 4s left speaker doesn't work...

    So I got my new iPhone 4s, and since I got it the left speaker wasn't working. Since then, it still hasn't been working. I can plug in some earphones and you can hear everything thought both of them, but without them I can only hear out of the right speaker. Is there anyways it could be fixed??

  • HT1766 My iPad speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, anything in setup for a fix

    My speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, is there a setting for this

    Plug/unplug the headphones from the iPad a few times. Also try rotating the plug in the socket a few times. The headphone jack has an internal switch which turns the speaker off when the headphones are plugged in. The contacts may have gotten dirty within the socket. Working the plug within the socket can sometimes get things working again.

  • Laptop left Speaker audio not working

    Sir,
    I have dv-5 1102 tu model laptop, in that left speaker audio not working. But, in headphones & Speakers have no problem in both left & right audio.
    Kindly do the needful

    Hey @KKVK ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your left speaker is not working on your dv5 notebook.
    If the headphones are working it would tell us the sound card is fine. The same properties are applied to the speakers and the headphones in your audio control settings.
    You could try a system restore to before the issue started to make sure it's not something in the operating system. To perform a system restore see the following guide: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) or Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
    If this fails I would suggest contacting HP Phone Support to send the notebook for service. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.
    Thanks!

  • GigaWorks T40 - left speaker isn't working.

    Hello,
    i've just got new GigaWorks T40.
    The problem is the left speaker that isnt working.
    Speakers were connected to CPU and MP3 (Creative Zen), there was same problem on both.
    Is it possible to be fixed, or i have to return them to shop?

    Hi Anteaus,
    Where did you purchase your T40, the Creative Online Store or your local retail outlet?
    It would be advisable to contact the place of purchase and ask for an exchange to take advantage of your warranty.

  • I have iPhone 3GS, and everytime I go to listen to my music with my headphones the sound only goes to one ear and when I listen to music with the speakers at the bottom speaker the left speaker only works! Can someone PLEASE HELP ME?

    My music only plays in my left ear when I'm wearing my headphones and when I'm listening to music without my headphones the music only comes out through the left speaker. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME,? YOUR HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED.?

    All iphone have one and only one speaker at the bottom.
    Have you tried another set of earphones?  Maybe they are the problem?
    Have you made sure that the headphones are inserted all the way?

  • My left speaker is not working properly, and also making a crackling sound.

    I just bought this computer about a month ago and already having problems. Such as my computer shutting down on its own and now the speakers just started today. It is only the left speaker that starts cracking and then goes completely out, onlt hearing the right side speaker. This is the first time I have ever purchased an HP, and I may have to return this and go back to using Dells.

    I even had this too, try to go to sounds your speaker and adjust the left and right speaker, the left speaker without the right makes a crackling sound, the right speaker is opposite of that.
    If this cannot work try to go to a computer technician to fix the problem
    I'm actually want to fix this through a technician, but he's the one to fix the speaker.
    Hope that's alright.

  • Rear left speaker doesn't work on X-FI XtremeMu

    So I bought this X-Fi xtrememusic..No doubt it works fantastically in gaming and pinpoints the source of sound really well..Well what's my problem? this POS X-Fi doesn't emit any sound from rear left speaker..my speaker isn't the issue here because I tried it with my $0 sound card and rear left speaker works FINE..how the hell $30 worth sound card can't do/perform something that even $0 sound card can do...give me a break Creative...this **bleep** is going back to the store if there is no solution to this.. I've already wasted 2 hrs of my life just trying to reinstall/uninstall newer/older version of their bloated drivers..no avail..What should I do? I'd like to keep this card as it is the best gaming sound card out there right now....
    Any one?
    Sorry for some mild profanity.. I just had to take my anger out somewhere..

    This is getting me pissed now. I have the Fitalty version and everything working fine at first, except for the stuttering in HF2, but now in Game mode only my Front right speaker doesn't work. I do have all the latest drivers on my system and Creative. I only lose my right front speaker in game mode, I swap to entertainment and everything works fine.
    I agree with the above poster that its a driver issue, I do know creative has always lacked in that dept (decent drivers) so I have no reason to believe otherwise now.
    I've tried alot of various things and sorry for not listing them all, nothing has worked yet.

  • Tactic 3d sigma left speaker just stopped working within a 24 hour period

    so as title says yesterday morning i woke up and the left speaker was a little dodgy it was turning on and off anf you had tap the left speaker cup to get it to start putting out sound and make sure you didnt lay back in chair or anything to disturb it then this morning its completely dead nothing will get sound.
    this is the second of this type of headset in the last 4 months and the first one died from same problem after no more than 3 months and this ones been less than 2 months till pretty much useless any ideas might help even if its just saying worst luck in defecti've product ever
    edit just checked bank statements i've have this new headset since june 28 so in two and a half weeks the left speaker stopped
    edited once more i checked further back the first headset laster from may 27 to just before june 28 i've never had aproblem with creative products before but i dont think ill be buying another one of these models they apperently defecti've in some way

    Hello..if it's any consolation which i'm sure it's not...My earcup was faulty out of the box..i.e turned round and round.
    If you check the G35 and platro¤¤ 777 you will find similar QA problems.
    Don't know if the problem are related to different batches but it seems that there is a lot to be desired in some companies manufacture and QA departments.
    Just hope these companies realise what damage is being done to thier reputation and maybe remember the old saying
    "if it cheap (presumably manufacturing costs) then there is something fishy about it." ( assuming they're getting third-party companies to manufacture a lot of these)
    this is 00 % pure conjecture on my part and the percentages of faults may be very small in real terms compared to the number of units sold?
    But if users are to be believed and such stories similar to -,these are 2 or (8) months old and I picked them up today and the left earcup fell off...don't fill one with confidence. From what I can gather most internet shops/manufacturers have been ok at replacing headsets..it's just the inconvience of having to send them in(may or may not be reimbursed for shipping costs) and be without a headset for a while especillay when they are DOA..GREAT BOUGHT NEW PRODUCT ..DOA BUT as a customer I have to wait two weeks to get a replacement....NOT GOOD BUSINESS
    in my case the company I bought them from (SIGMA's) did have a replacement in stock though they stated that they had some on order but didn't have a confirmed deli'very date from creative...so i got my money back but missed an offer on another headset . Now I don't have any headset :-(
    The long and short of it seems that QA seems to be a problem at the moment in MY view...you might buy from another manufacturer and get a faulty headset?
    I am thinking of just getting some Audio (music) phones and maybe a soundcard..
    Best of luck getting an exchanged working pair or your money back.

  • Mono audio playing from left speaker only

    For websites who have mono recorded (single channel) podcasts, audio in firefox will only play from left speaker instead of picking center channel.
    If audio is downloaded and played on seprate dedicated player it defaults to center or if same site is played in IE also defaults to center.
    Stereo recorded podcasts have no issue.

    I assume that not a Flash player is used in this case, but that this is an issue with the (built-in) HTML5 media player and the audio tag is used.
    Is that correct?
    The Flash player should show the Flash context menu if you right-click the player area.

  • Buzzing audio out of left speaker only during dvd playback

    Anyone else have this problem. I can play cds fine and all other audio sounds fine, but when i play a dvd i get a weird buzzing out of the left speaker. I should also note that it is not constant, it occurs with things such as loud voices and some music.

    Now i can confirm that it happens in quicktime as well. Is this hardware or software related? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, it isn't so much a buzzing as it is almost like an echo after some loud speach.

  • Inspire t3000 left speaker port not working

    My Creative 2.1 speaker system have strange problem. The left port does not respond. I interchanged the speakers so I'm sure the speakers are working fine its the port that is causing problem. Has anyone came across similar situation and able to solve it's

    I've got the same problem. It's been happening to me sporadically for the last month or so. And it's always the same port- the left one. I don't think I'm using anything "high-voltage," either- just a 4G flash drive or a mouse.
    Hopefully someone knows what's going on with this.
