Play my mp3 over 7.1 Creative gigaworks s

Hi,
I have a Creative gigiaworks s750. Now when I play my mp3 files on my system there are only 2 speakers that work. Can I manage to have all the speakers play my sound, though the mp3 files are in stereo?
Greetins,
Mr Althalus.

Are you using a Creative soundcard? If you do, you can turn on the CMSS feature in the Creative soundcard to upmix the stereo source from the MP3 to multi-channel. The steps can be find in the sticky thread on the top of the board. If you're not using a Creative soundcard, then check with the manufacturer of your soundcard if there's any similar feature.

Creative MediaSource will not play certain MP3

I have a Creative Audigy 2 NX with a remote that I really want to be able to use. Programs such as GIRDER, WinLIRC, and uICE do not support the RM-500 remote control.
I can't figure out how to control the remote beyond editing and creating key files that send ASCII commands, but the problem with that is I cannot control programs that are not currently acti've. In other words, I cannot control winamp if I'm playing a game with my remote, which is what I want to do. The KEY files are structured as this:[KeyEvent690 etc]KeyName=whateveryouwantdisplayedNotification=- or 2 or 4KeyEventRemap=this is the important partHandleByApp=i don't know what this doesAnyway, if I set notification to -, I can send ASCII commands-- BUT these will not send to programs not currently on top. If I set notification to 2, as Creative did in their Winamp .x key file, I could control the program even if it is not on top-- BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE KeyEventRemaps NUMBERS SHOULD BE. I cannot find this information, and I have tested as far as I am capable of doing manually (tested numbers through 500 MANUALLY).So what I want to be able to do is use my remote to control winamp, but that is impossible. And Creative MediaSource will not play streaming audio (for God knows why...). So what I decided to do was record to an MP3 player with a third party program and play that MP3 in the Creative MediaSource software (the built-in recorder will NOT work, as I cannot structure that into a playlist nor can I play the recording media nor can I minimize the program and mute the feedback-- I can only record if I'm playing, and this doesn't work). The first problem I encountered was several programs would not output MP3s that were playable as they were being recorded, however I finally did find one. This program, 3aLab iRadio, allows the MP3 to be played back WHILE simultaneously being recorded. The only problem is that this the Creative MediaSource software will NOT play the mp3. Out of the 5 different MP3 players I tested, ONLY the Creative MediaSource software would not playback the MP3 as being written. I cannot figure this out, and I am at a loss as to what to do next. I realize that Creative won't support streaming audio with their player, MediaSource, but what I like to do is listen to streaming internet radio as an item on my mp3 playlist in winamp. I wish to be able to control this with my remote, but as I cannot find ANY WAY out there to control my remote as I wish without further information, this is a dead end. My alternati've is to use the Creative software for which the remote was designed to work, but unfortunately this does not support streaming internet radio nor does it support MP3s that are being written to. This is driving me insane.
What I want to be able to do is have a playlist that I control with my remote, with the first item on the list being internet radio, the 2nd and such on down being MP3s. In winamp, this is doable, as well as in Windows Media Player, and most MP3 players out there. Since I cannot do this in Creative's software, I need a workaround alternati've. PLEASE.
So, in conclusion, is there anyone out there who can either tell me how to control my remote directly by identifying what the notification=2 keyeventremap=configuarions are, give me a program like girder however which supports the RM-500 remote, or tell me how to get MP3s that are being written to (aka incomplete) to play in the Creative MediaSource software?
Thank you very much for your time.

Re: Creative Gigaworks T3 Power Cutting Out AS WELL!!!!!

This is a response to the same fault on the gigaworks T3 as mentioned in this post here : http://forums.creative.com/t5/Speaker-Systems/Creative-Gigaworks-5--G550W-Power-Cutting-Out/td-p/430593?
hi! I am from New Zealand. I?just purchased?a set of Creative Gigaworks T3 for just DAY(the first day)! and I am encounter the same kind of problem mentioned in this post/topic . it Shuts off by itself or (power cutting out) . most probably would be the overheating cut off problem as well , all symptoms are the same as described this this post!
I cannot believe this is happening to the whole line of Gigaworks subwoofered speaker systems. I also have the Gigaworks T40 SII and are working mint. but seems like the subwoofered ones are the ones with this overheating cut off problem!!!!!
Man I trusted Creative for its quality of its products as I have always been Ultra impressed for the Creative Cambridge FPS2000 which I had own for the last 10 years until the remote switch became faulty 2 years ago (volume fluctuates), but thats acceptable for so many years of use!! they were the best ones and love them!?
BUT? I dunno about these current line of Gigaworks systems. they all seem to be faulty with this problem
do you think I should get a replacement or just get a refund IF I CAN.
a replacement might do the same thing?
cheers !!
ken

here is an update of what happened to my faulty Creative Gigaworks T3 system.
I returned it the next day the shop opened back from new years which is the Jan 4th, 2010 . I told them about the problem I was having and also printed out the dicussion from this forum on the Gigaworks G550W http://forums.creative.com/t5/Speaker-Systems/Creative-Gigaworks-5--G550W-Power-Cutting-Out/td-p/430593 . which I told them was the very same problems as discussed here and seems to be like a common fault or design problem of the gigaworks (subwoofered) series from creative!!
I was treated in a very bad and unhelpful manner from the store. and straight up. there is no refund!. and they seem to think I was lying about all this and making it up trying to get a refund ?!!
wtf I came all the way back (50km retrurn) waste my valueable time waste gas to muck about na I don't think so!? but to them I was a lier which had nothing better to do. " they say , you say its faulty, but We don't know" and they said , if the supplier say can refund then we will definitly refund... or even we test it out have problem, the supplier will have to test it again to confirm if there is a problem then to see if they will repair or replace. of course I wanted a refund as this a design problem and will happen again shortly!!! I had no choice but to leave it there , so I left it there on the 4th. anyway I was treated the worse I've ever been treated for any purchase at a store
week later. TODAY the 12th Jan. I received a txt message saying " this is xp computer warehouse, just 2 let u know ur creative speakers has been returned from the distributor as no fault to be found, n its ready 4 pick up "
of course there was no fault if it was tested for 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! its the overheating problem after being used for over 2 hours or so. but I'm sure they know about this hard,. how can they not know if its happening all the time. they just can't be bothered, they would of just said "ah f--- it!!"
So i'm going back on sunday 24th Jan to get a refund as they have failed to meet the Repair/Replace or refund policy, if nothing works out then the last thing (which I really do not wish to do) it to Disputes Tribunal at the courts , a bloody hassle and a waste of f----- time! seriously. if creative would just sort it out or even open and fix it I'd be a really happy customer!
but for things that are going now , its definitly not right!
think about it before buying your Creative Gigaworks T3, just sharing my personal experience here , and it ain't good!
I'll keep you updated on sundays results.

MP3 over RTMP?

I've been using OSMF to play MP3 over HTTP, and am trying RTMP. FMS is setup, and the following url works with the FLVPlayback component, "rtmp://myserver.com/vod/mp3:My Test Mp3" but does not work with my OSMF player.
var player = new MediaPlayer();
var loader = new SoundLoader();
theURL = 'rtmp://myserver.com/vod/mp3:My Test Mp3';
var resource = new URLResource( theURL );
resource.mediaType = MediaType.AUDIO;
resource.mimeType = 'audio/mpeg';
var audio = new AudioElement( resource, loader);
player.media = _audio;
It returns "Error opening url rtmp://myserver.com/vod/mp3:My Test Mp3'

I have tried to play an MP3 file from FMS using OSMFPlayer and it works just fine. I am not sure exactly where it goes wrong. But there are a few things you may want to check.
1. The RTMP URL is indeed valid. Can you pass me the actual URL that I can test it using our internal tool. Or you can pass me the MP3 file and I can test it with my FMS environment.
2. You don't need to create sound loader, and set mimeType yourself. You may simply do the following:
Var mediaFactory:MediaFactory = new DefaultMediaFactory();
Var resource = new URLResource(theURL);
Var media:MediaElement = mediaFactory.createMediaElement(resource);
mediaPlayer.media = media;

Unable to play/import mp3 into iTunes

Hi All,
This is what I am trying to do. I have a CD that needs to be transferred to my iPad. I figured I need to have the music in iTunes and then I can copy over. I used my Windows 7 laptop to rip the CD and put the mp3 songs on a shared network drive. From my MBA (mavericks, itunes 11.1.3) I can see the music. I am unable to play these mp3 songs using default iTunes player. When I try to drag the songs plus sign shows up but nothing gets copied. I have tried creating empty playlist but nothing goes in there. I also tried playing the songs using quick time and all play fine.
Is there anything else I am missing?
Thanks
Neeraj

If anyone comes across this, I am expericing the same thing on iTunes 11.1.5. If I first copy the mp3 to the my system I can add or play it without issues, but if I try from the NFS volume it silently fails.
If I check the logs I see the following entry, which seems related, but it doesn't happen every time:

Suggestion for new mp3 player (had a creative zen mic

Well time for me to get a new mp3 player. Because Creative wasn't very good at honouring my warranty (four players didn't work properly and they wouldn't replace the fourth) I am reluctant to get another creative. But if you guys tell me they have come along way AND I can use my previous charger with a new player, then I'll consider it.Suggestions?

i have the zen v plus and i am quite happy with it, i just updated to the latest firmware, it charges by plugging into your computer USB (cable provided) its a budget nano competitor that has great user interface and i personally thing the design is really cool and it plays videos, but im trying to get creative to include compression video support in future firmware cause the video it supports is like 4 MB to 8 seconds of video :| the sound quality is pretty good, but then again i dont know your standards it has an inbuilt FM receiver and line in/mic recording
im really happy with it.

How to simply play one mp3 at a time without a playlist or duplicate file creation

What's always baffled me about Itunes is the overkill factor for we who are media professionals and simply need
to be able to select and playback an audio file - without the proprietary architecture of the whole "Playlist" format...
and, as long as we're at it, without automatically having a duplicate of whatever is being played, created and placed
in a new folder somewhere.
"Back in the day..." I could take SoundJam - (actually the predecessor app that Itunes was originally based upon)
--which i still regularly use for easy conversion of .aifs to .mp3s -- and select/play any number of mp3s located in a
single file folder at random. No "playlist" was created or needed - and it didn't/doesn't dupe a copy of the file.
Can i in any way scale down or customize Itunes in a way that i can just play each mp3 in a given folder by selecting
it 'directly' and not have to have it generate a playlist "copy" - My use for Itunes as far as commercial production is
for quick review/play of sound elements, spots (commercials) audio clips, etc. For this I'm not looking to "order" or
organize anything, just simply start/stop an audio cut and move to another.
Alternately, any suggestions on simpler practical alternative 3rd party apps... Stuff like "Vox" comes kinda close but
i still have to drag and drop the icon of the audio file onto the app's icon to initiate play. Still, at least it doesn't force
me into a Playlist or generate a copy just by selecting and playing the cut.
If this makes sense to anyone I'd really appreciate any ideas,
Thanks!

Mp3 links no longer stream in firefox 4.0 but it works in 3.6, how can i make 4.0 play a mp3 stream like before

i dont think this is a problem with the quick time plugin as it works fine on 3.6. is it maybe more the way firefox 4.0 looks at the .mp3 links and only wants to save it? i like the fact you can stream links rather than have to save them first before you can hear them...
thanks

Also to add to this, I have tried Microsofts HTML 5 test drive demo on the "HTML5 Audio Player + XML Playlist" section and Firefox 4.0 doesn't play steamed MP3 files from this.
If it's other streaming formats such as OGG or WAV, then Firefox will play them with no problems.

ITunes 7 will no longer play some MP3's

MP3's that have played before now no longer play in iTunes. I can play the MP3's in WMP. iTunes will no allow me to add them back to my library after removing them now. There isn't anything wrong with my songs. What should I do?

Hello,
Has anyone found a solution to this?
I have a similar (maybe the exact same) problem. I have only ever used iTunes, since version 2 I think, and am at version 7.5 now.
More and more of my songs are becoming unplayable. It would appear to be the problem described in this thread, except for the part about editing the tags which I never do.
One song of an album plays fine, the next is completely unplayable in iTunes, Quicktime, and VLC, and the Finder's Preview function does not work.
This is getting REALLY frustrating. Any solutions ?
Thanks

Problem playing some mp3 songs in itunes

It says that iTunes/ipod supports the mp3 format. But some of my songs will only play halfway through then itunes skips to the next song. Those songs affected plays just fine in Windows Media Player or MediaMonkey but not in iTunes. I did some googling on this and it seems that iTunes has problems with ID tags on some songs. I downloaded a tool that should fix the problem, and after using it the songs played in iTunes but some of the information about the songs were lost ( for instance part of album name). I want the information about the songs in my library to be complete so I reentered the missing information, and then the problem was back again. ITunes only played part of the song before skipping to the next.
So long a other players can play the mp3 files I consider this as a BUG in the iTunes code, and expect Apple to fix it.

Hello-
Question: are you streaming audio via Apple TV or AirTunes? If so disable that configuration and set audio to COMPUTER (lower-right part of the iTunes window). Video and Airport Express do not get along with each other.

WMP will play some mp3 and mkv files to my Sony TV but not others

Windows Media Player will play some mp3 and mkv files to my Sony Bravia TV (KDL70W850B) but not others. I get the error: “Failed to retrieve media information”. Sometimes if I make a copy of the files that don’t play, I am able to play the copied files.

It seems to be an issue with Sony Bravia TV. According to the following article:

Creative GigaWorks Pro Gamer G500 Speaker wire question

Hi,
I have the creative gigaworks pro gamer speaker system but need to obtain some extra wire for the speakers to I can set them up around my room correctly. Would anyone have any suggestions of the type of wire to get hold of, room dimension is 98 inch by 24 inch. the main thing I am concerned about is the connectors for the wire going into the back of the amp, and the connectors going into the back of the speakers. I can twist the bare copper wires and insert them that way, but would prefer to have some sort of connector pin that can be used instead such as a gold plated connector. I think the gauge I am looking at is 6. Any help appreciated. Cheers
Message Edited by fs_shadow on 10-27-2007 07:49 AM

Have you checked your wiring? When going into THX Console and running the test, you should be able to hear the sound coming from the corresponding speaker. Otherwise your wiring must be wrong.
Also I do not understand what exactly you are doing in the CMSS Options: <EM>put the cmss3d on surround</EM>
Do you mean Stereo Surround?
<EM>put cmss 3d in the center </EM>: You mean you drag the slider into the center, or do you mean the CMSS2 option?Message Edited by alexs3d2 on 06-24-2006 07:34 PM

My iMovie voice recording is suddenly not working. As I record, it shows the green bars; however, when I play the recording it does not play my voice over at all nor show the green bars. I was mid-way through my project when this problem occured.

As I record, it shows the green bars; however, when I play the recording it does not play my voice over at all nor show the green bars. I was mid-way through my project when this problem occured. HELP!!!!

As far as I can see, it's random. Everything. Nothing makes any sense!
A the moment, the iPhone is playing music with the SIM card, but without anything plugged into it, but it's occasionally fading in and out.
Oh, and I doubt this is related, but about two months ago the iPhone failed to show that the battery was draining - it was stuck at 100%. This went on for a few days, it wouldn't even warn me at the 20% mark, it would just shut off. This happened for at least three full charges - I remember at one point it suddenly started working again at about the 70% mark, I'm not sure if it was alright after that or if it went glitchy on the next charge... but in any case, the problem mysteriously never reappeared after those few days.

Playing a mp3 when a movie clip loads

I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS6
What I am trying to do is play a mp3 file that I have in my library when the clip loads and stop playing it when the a new clip is selected from the menu I created. On the button that loads the movie clip (Instance name: Slideshow), I have the following code:
[code]
on (release){
    gotoAndPlay(120);
onClipEvent (load){
    mySong = new Sound();
    mySong.attachSound("MastersThisHall");
    mySong.start(0,50);
onClipEvent (unload) {
    mySong.stop();
[/code]
- I went to the properties of the MastersThisHall.mp3 file in my library,
- Selected the "ActionScript", tab,
- Checked the box that says "Export for ActionScript",
- Unchecked the "Export in frame 1" check box, and
- Added MastersThisHall in the "Identifier" field.
The sound is NOT playing when I when the "Slideshow" button is pressed.
Ideas?

Thank you for all of this; it is very helpful.
I have series of 6 buttons I created, each of them load a different movie clip. I need to have the music from the slideshow NOT continue to play when a new movie clip is selected.
I have the following code.
Frame 1:
SlideshowMusic = new Sound(this);
SlideshowMusic.attachSound("MastersThisHall");
stop();
Frame 120 (attached to the Slideshow movie clip object):
onClipEvent (load) {
    SlideshowMusic.play();
The "Mute" Button:
on (release) {
    SlideshowMusic.setVolume(0);
The "Resume Sound" Button:
on (release) {
     SlideshowMusic.setVolume(100);
And the "Pause" Button:
on (release)
if (SlideshowMusic.position < SlideshowMusic.duration)
    SlideshowMusic.start(SlideshowMusic.position / 1000);
It is loading and working perfectly. However, I have two more questions:
1. How do I make the the sound automatically stop when a new movie clip is played?
2. How do I change the "pause" symbol to the "play" symbol when the "Pause" button is pressed?

Refuses to play the voice over and the songs, doesnt even plays voiceovers which were allready placed its mute now
