Probelm with Creative Inspire T6100

Hello everyone, I'll really appreciate it if someone could help here. Just bought a new PC with sound card on board.Motherboard is: GB P35-DS3 /P35/LGA775The sound card is Realtek High Definition Audio. Along wiht the PC I got a 5.1 channel speaker system - Creative Inspire T1600. I installed the latest drivers for the sound card, also made sure the speaker system is plugged into the sound card slots as per the user guide and yet there is no sound coming out at all from the speakers. I also tried plugging out the speaker system and plugging in a normal pair of headphones, still no sound?.... I have re-installed the sound drivers a few times and there is no indication the issue is with the driver. Please help. Thanks a lot

Hey, thanks for your reply but I've figured it out. It was a problem with the sound card driver... It works now and it's great!

Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers problem

Hello. I have Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers with SB Audigy Live! 24-bit installed Sound Card (it supports up to 7.1 speakers). Also I have Stereo Surround CMSS 3D settings (EAX)enabled. However when I'm listening to music or playing games my Rear Left speaker makes no sound. Before I had problem that Rear Right wasn't working (however rear left and right sound was on rear left speaker), but after replugging Rear Left doesn't work. Any ideas what might be the problem?
Thanks for reading...
EDIT:: I tried changing Rear Left and Rear Right speakers with each other in Subwoofer (where it connects) and Rear Left is working properly.

Hi all do you have any idea to solve my problem?
Currently, I'm using the P5800. My problem is sub can't working. I fix together with SB24Bit External sound card.Previously is working. I'm very proud with the sound,after I decrease the master volume and bass level volume my sub suddenly quit.what happened actually?
-Is that mean I need to change the sub speaker or the coil inside the magnet core is burned?
-or maybe my component circuit like ic,capacitor,diode burned?
If I plug n unplug the power to the sub,I can heard that 'bump'. Is that mean my circuit in good condition or maybe the charge and discharge for capacitor?
Please answer me...

Creative Inspire T6100 - I got a problem, pls help me!

I just bought a creative Inspire T6100 system, but I got a strange problem.
I can hear just from the rear left and center speakers, all the others are muted. Every wire is perfectly connected to my phase 22 with 3 jack connectors. I tried to disable the basic soundblaster in the motherboard(I got an asus P5K), but it's the same... nothing changed...
Can someone help me pls?

Creative Inspire T6100

my old creative set up has broke and now it is time to renew. my problem is.... i have a 5.1 decoder amp it sends the sound out separately to front L,R, back L,R, center and sub. this allows you to power them all separately. i am considering buying 2 sets of the creative inspire t6100 one set for the back L,R and one for the front L,R. and i would like to know what other users of the t6100 think of the system more to the point how many users have had problems. i am reserved on weather creative speakers last very long as my 2 sets of fps1600 have broke ( set the sub went and the other sounds like it is under water) and my 2.1 i-trigue 3200 (5 months old) (center speaker on my set up) is having problems with the wired remote. i am reluctant to switch companies as i think when working properly creative have an amazing sound. i would like to know if any one has any opinions on logitech (rival company if you will) as i have never heard anything from their speaker range. http://images.europe.creative.com/is.../dot-clear.gif

Creative Inspire T6100 Connection Problem ...

Hi,
I have just purchased the Creative Inspire T6100 and intended on using them for my Laptop, I am not so good with technology but I bought these speakers purely because of the good reviews it had.
The PROBLEM I have is that when I connect the 3 wires i.e. Black, Green and Orange , I only have space for one headphone jack on my Laptop as a result sound only comes through two of the fi've speakers. I realize that all 3 headphone jacks must be plugged into my laptop, but I simply do not know where to place the other two.
Therefore I was wandering is there some sort of device which would allow me to connect those 3 wires into my laptop. Perhaps some sort of 3 to converter
(Please remember I am a complete Novice on technology)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

Help setting up Creative Inspire T6100 (5.1) to HP Laptop

Hi I recently bought Creative Inspire T600 (5.) speakers. I am unable to connect this to my HP DV6T laptop having only one input for speakers where as creative t600 has 3 pins in black, orange and green colors. I am stuck here. Could anyone please tell me how to connect the 5. speakers to my laptop? Appreciate your help.

Not really 100% sure (I only have a Creative T3030 2.1 that has a single 3.5mm jack) but from everything that I Googled, it looks like a stereo 3.5mm to RCA adapter and a Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter should work.

But to be safe, it might be best to check with Creative and see what they recommend for connecting it to the iMac.

How to connect SB X-FI XTREME MUSIC with Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5

Hi,
I want to know what I have to do to connect my x-fi xtreme music with my creative inspire 5. digital 5700 due to listen music with all? 5 twiters. I have windows vista ultimate 32bits. Thanks!?JoanMessage Edited by joanantoni on 07-9-200703:54 AM

With your Inspire 5. Digital 5700, your best bet is?using the analog Front and Rear input connections on the decoder and connect them to the X-Fi Xtreme Music front (Line Out )?and rear (Line?Out 2)?output connections and then enable CMSS Music or CMSS Movie Mode on your Digital 5700 decoder which will then give you a 4./5. Upmix. Gi'ven that you don't have a Center connection on the the Inspire 5. Digital 5700, no connection can made to the your Front Center satelite speaker/Subwoofer (Line Out 3) on your X-Fi Xtreme Music card. I'm led to understand that Creative speaker systems do not need Bass Redirection to reproduce proper Bass frequencies on your Subwoofer and not on your satelite speakers but you may want to test this simply enabling and disabling Bass Redirection, on your X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card, to your own personal taste. Alternately, you can concurrently connect your Inspire 5. Digital 5700 via the Coxial Digital/PCM Input to the FlexiJack input/output jack on the X-Fi Xtreme Music and then enable Digital I/O mode for the FlexiJack in the Audio Console found in the Windows Control Panel or?in the Entertainment Mode or Game Mode Consoles. Unfortunately the FlexiJack only provides a 2 conductor connection therefore it only supports 2. Speaker system connections?therefore you will still have to enable the CMSS Music or CMSS Movie Modes on your Inspire 5. Digital 5700 decoder to produce a 4./5. sound upmix. Sadly, no optical connection can be made between your Inspire 5. Digital 5700 and your X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card without the installation of the X-Fi I/O Dri've or X-Fi I/O Console at, of course, additional expense. From my standpoint, the X-Fi I/O Dri've is a good value given the number of external inputs and outputs in offers. Again, it's a matter of what your personal connection requirements are and budget. Hope this hel

I Have had a problem for ages. I have the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Inspire 5. digital 5500.
I have copied the advice I received/didnt recieve from creative.
Best of luck
Dear Martin
Thanks for your reply
I am sorry for the problem you are facing.
To achieve outputs from all the speaker during speaker test, you will need to have an analog connection, or digital DIN connection.
That will be possible if you connect the three line out jacks on your soundcard, to the three audio input (analog jacks->green,black,orange) on your speaker, if it has this connection. Or, you may connect them using Digital DIN, if they have this connection.
If you are using digital connection (coaxial, optical), there will be no way to achieve sound output from all the speakers during 5. speaker test, as they carry stereo signal.

Farcry Front left, right & centre. No Rears
When I run your speaker test HISSSSS, No Rears, no front left or right

Hello
Your email was helpful, unfortunately, not for my unit, you see I would
have
connected the Jack leads in by now if the inspire had Jack lead inputs
as
you describe
Please don't think I am being sarcastic, but from reading the
correspondence
below it would seem as if your department is having difficulty
understanding
my problem.
Also it would seem your department doesn't have the necessary technical
information on your very own product, so to help with your dilemma I
have
taken photos of the input/outputs on the Inspire unit.
You will clearly see the inspire has no inputs other than Coaxial and
Optic.
This leaves me back to my last post. I think the solution would be for
me to
purchase the correct processor, which would have come with the original
sound card had I not been a little tight on the money front.
I have attached a photo of the sound card with the processor, I would
love
to buy this processor but find myself unable to locate this product on
your
web site. Would you possibly be able to send me the correct link to this
item so I can buy this Processor Please?

Your soundcard is Audigy 2 ZS
Your speaker is Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500
You will need to have a 3:3 cable(with the color green, black, orange)
to connect your soundcard to your speaker, to achieve the 5. effects
with games.
Below is the connection:
- Connect line out jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Front' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the green color
connection
- Connect line out 2 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Rear' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the black color
connection
- Connect line out 3 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Center/Subwoofer' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the
orange color connection
Once you have done the correct connection, play the game DOOM3.
Ensure you have selected either the EAX or surround option in the game
settings.
Does it work?

You have lost me. Your sound card clearly states that I can have EAX
surround decoding from the sound card I have purchased.
All of the games on your web site claim to give me an environmental
effect
that will blow my mind, hence EAX.
All I have done wrong is NOT buying your decoder that comes with the
sound
card. My mistake.
All I want to do is re-address this issue and buy the correct
decoder/processor.
Can you point me to the correct link on your web site so I can buy the
correct decoder/processor?
As for the PCM out of the above cables, this foxes me as my other
equipment
only use Optical cabling on my Lexicon processor and from that I have DD
7., DTS 7. and meridian 5. lossless.
My issue is more to do with NO EAX from the rear and centre channels
while
in-game.

Thanks for your reply
All commercial digital connection eg. optical or coaxial cable will only
carry PCM stereo signal. If you want to output the signal to a surround
5. with extra EAX environment effects, it will not be possible at all
since it is only restricted to stereo channel signal.
As per current industry limitations, we are bound to follow the standard
one-signal output for all our SPDIF and Optical output jacks. This is
something that is currently shared by all vendors for all products.
Please note that all games are not dolby digital, even they are , it
will require certain motherboard to encode it to dolby digital signal,
which our soundcard does not support.
You can only use analog connections to gain true 5. surround for
gaming..

Dear Martin
Thank you for the reply.
Computer games written with support for 3D audio do not require a Dolby
Digital Interacti've Content Encoder (DICE) to output multichannel sound,
with no exceptions. Sound devices that support the real time encoder
technology from Dolby will simply receive the multichannel wave file
output and encode it in real time to a somewhat modified Dolby Digital
bitstream. Creative does not support the Dolby Digital Interacti've
Content Encoder on any of its sound cards.
The only difference between a Sound Blaster card and an audio card that
has a real time encoder, is that you can make a one-wire, digital
connection from your audio card to your home theater receiver and enjoy
discrete multichannel sound from the game. However there will be a
continuous, slight delay, known as "latency", as the encoder is creating
and transmitting the bitstream, and of course the compression scheme
being used is "lossy" (i.e. not bit-accurate).
If you want to enjoy 3D audio in 3D enabled PC games in multichannel
surround sound with a Sound Blaster card, it is recommended that you
connect the analog outputs of the sound card directly to the analog
inputs of the receiver. This will require 3 cables for 5. surround
sound, one for front right and left, one for rear left and right, and
another one for front center and subwoofer. Though it requires more
cables than a real time encoder system, it will not have any latency
issues. When connecting PC audio to a home theater receiver, Creative's
latest sound cards such as Sound Blaster Audigy, Sound Blaster Audigy 2
are likely to provide higher quality audio than any Dolby Digital real
time encode system available for the PC today.

think the DD stream isn't getting to the processor.

right noise. no centre, no rears.
I phoned you tech support line, the boy on the

product and I had to tell him what connections sit
on the inspire 5. series amp/processor.

How to get Realtek HD Audio to work with Creative Inspire 5.1 5200?

Hi,
I have a problem with correctly setting the Realtek HD Audio with my Creative Inspire 5200 5.1 speaker set. I don't get any sound on all of them when test button is clicked, only surround speakers work. They were working on my old PC. I did a search on this forum and Internet, but could not find any solution to this specific problem.
Setting:
* MSI drivers: 6.0.1.6267, directx 11, ALC 892
* Speakers set to default audio device
* Plugged in 3 jacks, colors matching (3 in a row - black:rear, orange: center/subwoofer, green:side speakers)
* On Realtek HD Audio Manager: Speaker configuration: 5.1 Speaker; Optional spakers: center, subwoofer, rear pair checked; full range speakers: front left and right and surround speakers checked; speaker fill/swap/bass management disabled.
What I get:
* left surround clicked: OK
* right surround clicked: OK
* No sound from others
Tests:
* Checked not muted
* Checked volume control, not set to zero
* Rechecked cables from MB to Creative Subwoofer
* Rechecked cables from Creative Subwoofer to speakers
* Checked other spaker configuration settings:
- Stereo : no sound
- Quadro: only surround spakers OK
- 7.1: surround spakers OK + left 2nd surround sound comes from right front speaker
Any directions are very much appreciated
Cheers

Quote from: syncman on 30-October-10, 03:10:54
I get something very similar with my Logitech 5.1 setup. However, I'm using a Creative Pro sound card. Some reminders for you. Remember that everyday normal sound is not encoded DD 5.1, i.e. Windows prompts, MP3, etc. 2 channel left and right stereo sound only nets 2 speakers even though you have 5.1. Unless you've set the sound card, or speaker controler to convert normal 2 channel left and right stereo to DD 5.1 you will only hear 2 speakers. It takes software that's dolby digital encoded to bring all 5.1 speakers to life. For example for every day computer sound my logitch speaker controller is set to "stereo x 2.1". With this setting the contoller sends 2 channel stereo to the front 2 speakers as well as rear 2 speakers plus the sub woofer. My center channel stays quiet until I change the controller effect to DD 5.1. I would change the speaker controller to DD 5.1 if I were to watch a DD 5.1 encoded DVD movie, or play a DD 5.1 encoded game. Keep in mind unless the software is encoded DD 5.1 anything you hear through all 5.1 speakers is SIMULATED! IMO the stereo x 2.1 sounds MUCH better than simulated DD 5.1.
Thank you for your answer, but I couldn't go so far yet I know some about sound and sound setups as I'm working in this area, namely video editing, sound processing, montage etc.
The problem is at "test button" level, somehow the mobo cannot drive the correct lines :(

Creative Decoder DDTS-100 with Creative Inspire 5200

Hi Guys,
Basically I wana hook up my PC ,XBOX and TV onto the Creative Inspire 5200.
I found out a couple of options , one of them is Creative DDTS-00.
Can anybody tell me if they are using this device , how good is it compared to a decoder amp by YAMAHA or SONY.
Which is a preferable solution ?
Thanx in advance.
Visu.

DudeRighteous,
Have you tried adjusting the levels for the center down and the other speakers up? On the main volume knob press the select button and it will select a specific speaker set to adjust the volume for. Try changing these settings and see if that helps.

Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers

Im looking at buying these speakers for my boyfreind, but will they be able to work with his tv and PS3. I was just wondering if any one new! many thanks beth

The line out on your mac is 2 channel stereo. There probably is a way to wire all the speakers together but you won't get 5.1 surround, which would be a waste of all those speakers.
I think your best option is to buy a good PCI sound card. The M-Audio Revolution 5.1 has good reviews, seems good value and probably addresses your problem.

No power to my Creative Inspire T6100 speakers.

I received my new speakers today and i was eagerly anticipating listening to them. I plugged them all in to the subwoofer and shoved the AC lead in to notice that there was no light on the power/volume speaker. I have tried a few things but have now ran out of ideas. Should i send them back? last thing i wanted when they arrived this morning. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
I ealier encountered your message in hope that there might be a reply, as i had the identical problem. I continuaslly tried many methods to try get the blue light on the speaker to come on, however in the end it was due to the connection between the main spaeaker and sub. Have a close look at the pins to ensure they're not bent, and fiddle with the connection, with a bit of luck mine suddenly appeared and i was rock and rolling. Im sorry if this doesn't work for you, but you could also check the transformer is warm to check the adaptor is working. Once your in, control panel, sound, advances setting and select 5.1 surround sound.

How to connect Asus mother board P5B sound card with Creative Inspire 5.1 5200 speaker system?

Hi, I am not sure how to connect them, as I find that there is no sound from centre speaker, please help me, thanks?

mg,
Have you check through your motherboard manual for the proper setup of your onboard audio with 5.1 speaker system?
