Megaworks THX 2.1 250D hook up to laptop possible??

I am thinkg of buying the "Megaworks THX 2.1 250D" speaker system, after hearing great reviews, I have a Compaq presario 700 laptop, which only seems to have a headphone and microphone output jacks, does anybody know it the Megaworks system will operate with this? can I hook up to the headphone jack? could anyone please help :-) kind regards chris, England U.K.

newtothis,
Yes you're correct. You can/should hook it via the Headphone jack from your laptop audio device.

  • Megaworks THX 2.1 250D with Playstaion 3

    Hi guys
    I'm thinking of buying a PS3 (the 40Gb version) and running it on my monitor and external speaker system.
    My speaker setup is the "Cambridge Soundworks Megaworks THX 2.1 250D" which has a Digital SPDIF (RCA) input, where as the PS3 outputs in Optical TOSLINK.
    I'm quite the noob when it comes to this kind of stuff so i'd like to know if this setup would work and what i would need to buy in-order to get it working.
    Many many thanks!

    el_salvad,
    If headset works fine with the soundcard, it sounds like the speaker is faulty. Have you try testing the speaker on another audio source or your other computer that's loaded with the Sound Blaster Live card.

  • Creative MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D

    I have recently purchased a Creative MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D but when I connected it to a computer I had heard a hisss noise from the satellites. I have also creative sound blaster live 24bit. I want to get rid of that noise which is very anoing so please help.

    MrHenderson , hissing from speakers is coming only when they are turned ON and no matter how u set volume , bass , treble or push MUTE button hissing is always there with the same intensity.When i connect headphones to speakers remote control hiss is gone (in headphones).Also i connect each individual satellite speaker to portable CD player and there`s no sign of a hiss , just like it`s supposed to be. I agree that "normal" hissing is presented in every audio system but u can hear it only when your ear is very close to speaker.Hissing coming from MegaWorks i can hear from 10 meters , now imagine sitting in front of a computer.Like i said , my first set of MegaWorks didn`t have that hissing at all , just normal hiss which u can`t hear sitting in front of a computer.First set was OK (until they burned) and i paid for them 290$ , when i get replacement for new set price was 90$!That is quite significant price drop which leads me to conclusion that CREATIVE start using cheaper meterials and components for building MegaWorks 250D. I think the first series of MegaWorks 250D was better quality.Harvey got a second set with the same hissing problem , that just confirms it. Harvey, i agree with everything you said. MrHenderson i agree about that running-in but i think this is reserved for Hi-Fi systems over .1000$ price.My first MegaWorks 250D sounded the same from the first day.Sometimes i was listening music with volume set to MAX and didn`t have any problems. I was always cautioned to not add to much bass which will cause distortion because we all now how loud this speakers can play.After 0- months of use they burned out. But when it comes to for some reason amplifier overload or overheating souldnt the amplifier have some kinda overload-overheating protection?
    Now , all i need is another replacement with new set of MegaWorks 250D with the same hissing problem like Harvey!

  • Creative MegaWorks thx 2.1 250D probs

    Hi everyone.... I got these set of speakers through the post today, and they look the buisness....problem is that i cant get them to work with my pc.....i connected the speakers to an old walkman, and the sounds coming through, so the speaks must be ok. And my pc works ok with my old set of speakers. do these set of speakers need a sound card or something? Im trying to run them off the integrated sound on my asus a7n8x-e deluxe motherboard.......any suggestions...

    Hol tengo este sistema de altavoces y queria saber si puedo ampliar mi sistema al mismo modelo del 5.1 osea comprar los 3 altavoces que me falta.
    Tambien queria saber si teneis recambios para las bases de los altavoces ya que una la tengo en mal estado y no se sujeta correctamente a la pared
    Saludos

    This seems to be common amongst creative speaker sets.
    I've experienced the same issue (poor build quality on the one thing that'll be used the most) with my Inspire T5900 and T7900 sets.
    I don't understand why the controller needs each channel routed through it (or so it seems), and why the replacement part seems impossible to come by - coupled with a year warranty.
    Defective By Design imho.
    My next set of PC speakers will be Logitech if I can't obtain spares or a datasheet to make my own.

  • Megaworks THX 250D - problem with SPDIF?

    Hello everybody, I hope someone can shed some light on a strange phenomenon I'm experiencing with my Megaworks THX 250D speaker system. When connected to my computer using SPDIF, the speakers produce a short, loud "cracking" sound everytime any audio playback is started. After that everything works just fine, but when you're clicking through some folders in your file explorer, every click generates a windows system sound and thereby a loud "crack".When I use the normal analog audio jack, everything works as expected. My computer is based on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 mainboard (Rev .) which has a Realtek audio chipset onboard (Realtek ALC889A codec, High Definition Audio). The latest Realtek driver is installed (Version 6.0..5497). Any idea would be appreciated.

    The Megaworks THX 250Ds don't support Dolby Digital input. They're extremely good analogue speakers. The SPDIF output mode is for receviers or speakers which support compressed (lossy) audio decoding.
    There would be no point in using SPDIF unless you were connecting to a home theatre receiver or a speaker system with digital input.
    What you're experiencing is normal for analogue speakers. As for quality improvements with digital connections, that's debatable though it does depend on your soundcard.

  • Megaworks THX 550 not working...someone help?

    I have the megaworks thx 550 system. never had a problem until the other day when i had it on and it "popped" and stopped working, the power light started blinking for a bit but then it just stopped all together. won't even turn on now, is this something i have to get fixed or am i just S.O.L.

    Make sure the settings your email provider needs are correctly set up in Mail. The server names, ports, etc., have to be set up correctly. Usually the info will be online. If you look in their support area, you may even find specific instructions for setting up Mac Mail.
    Are you saying you're using Outlook as well as Mail? The "outlook account" comment is a little confusing.

  • Megaworks THX 250-D 2.1 Question...

    I have a Creative Megaworks THX 250-D 2.1 Speaker system and every time I shut down my computer then start it back up again, I have to keep pressing/clicking my little volume control like 20 times just to get it up to 4 bars. Is there a way that I can set it so when I press the on thing it auto goes up to 4 bars bec when I press on, it starts with I believe 2 bars.
    It's the volume control thingy (dunno name).

    That is normal. It`s for precise volume/sub/treble adjust.No,there is no way it will go 4 bars up with one click.
    Just hold down the button.

  • Can i run Megaworks THX 550 5.1 speakers in 2.1 mode???

    Can i run Megaworks THX 550 5.1 speakers with only 2 satelites plugged in (in 2.1 mode) without damaging the amplifier etc?
    the reason being is when i have the speakers in my study i cant run the cables for a 5.1 setup...
    thanks...

    It is supposed to work that way - stereo sound (mp3's, CD's) will be played in 2 speakers unless CMSS is activated.
    My guess is that you music player that you was using was having an add-on that did provide 5. emulation from a stereo source independent of Creative drivers. And now you forgot to install that add-on (depending what you was using before there are many options).
    Anyway the drivers alone are acting properly.

  • Reliability of Megaworks THX 550 Compared to Gigaworks S750

    Due to some issues that I have had with the purchase of the Megaworks 5.1 speakers, particularly the connectivity between the X-FI Elite Pro console & the Megaworks subwoofer, I have come to a final agreement with CL to replace the subwoofer with the subwoofer from the S750, plus receive an additional two satelite speakers.
    The advantage of this is that while it will not solve my connectivity issue, it will give me the 7.1 sound suround that I do not have by using the Megaworks THX 550 (the S750 is no longer available in Australia so I couldn't buy it in the begining) . That my satelite speakers will remain part of the old 5.1 system is said not to be an issue.
    However, after reviewing the psots, I a wondering if I am making the right choice? I haven't heard of too many problems with the Megaworks subwoofer stop working, but the S750 seems prone to it.
    SO I am just curious as to people's views
    Thanks

Anyone know where they are sold (dont really fancy getting my wallet raped by PC World)?

  • MegaWorks THX 5.1 550 QUESTION

    Can somone tell me a little bit about the MegaWorks THX 5.1 550 speaker system? Im just curious how well do they sound. And if the bass rattles the floor boards?
    Message Edited by surfmonkey on 05-06-2006 10:38 PM

    I have had this speaker system for 3 years. All I can say is that I have totally enjoyed the system. The highs are crisp, but I would not say the base is clear and thumping. It does suffer from some muffling depending on the sound. You can always tweak settings to your liking. I currently have an issue with the fuse blowing on the powered sub. Trying to figure this one out. If you can find a system on the cheap, I would buy it.
    Good luck.
