Problem with 5700 decoder

Hey everyone, I'm new here! I have had the 5700 speakers with decoder for about 2 years now. All of a sudden, my decoder stopped working. I just woke up this morning and it wouldn't work. The power button does nothing. When I plug in the power cord, all the lights on the decoder come on and stay like that. There is no sound, nothing. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thanks for any help.

My Friend,
I have a post on here titled " inspire 5700's are junk" and it sounds like you have the same problem with your's as I had with mine. The digital decoder has gone out and because they are more than year old creative will not do anything about it ( I know from experience after dealing with them their attitude is too bad too sad) so there are two ways to deal with this problem ) get lucky and find someone who has one to sell ( like on e-bay) or plug in a whole bunch of audio cables and go analog, ( although this defeats the reason for spending alot of money on a digital card and speakers) other than that I can't give you much more advice except to say I know what you are going through. Maybe if enough people out there have the same problem with their systems, Creative will relieze that maybe there really is a problem here and they will take care of it ( like fixing it at no charge to us) I doubt it but it is a nice thought. Good luck.
Mr. dave
P.S. I packed mine away and bought a set of Klipsch speakers and they sound EXCELLANT!!.

  • Problem with URLDecoder.decode(s, enc)

    Hi!
    I'm having problems with the URLDecoder.decode(s, enc) method... When I send a string, encoded with the Javascript escape() function, to the server side of my application, I get a problem decoding it using this:
    myString = URLDecoder.decode(myString, "iso-8859-1");It gives me this error: URLDecoder: Illegal hex characters in escape (%) pattern - For input string: "u2"
    My html defines the encoding as follows:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />The string being submitted contains a special apostrophe ( ' ) copy/pasted from MS Word wich then translates it as %u2019 (what's that??? Unicode???).
    Can anyone tell me what is happening? How can I encode / decode this properly?

    I'm having exactly the same issue.
    Did you solved the problem?

    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(em,";");
    System.out.println("New Client:"+st.nextToken()+" on IP:"+st.nextToken());
    will always return false. You are comparing the object reference of aktion to "-". The code should read:
    if(aktion.equals("-"))
    //this don't come and em.substring(0,1) is -
    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(em,";");
    System.out.println("New Client:"+st.nextToken()+" on IP:"+st.nextToken());
    The reason why it works when you hard code the values is because the Java comiler will only keep one object for each String literal. Thus:
    String aTest = "test";
    aTest=="test"; // This will return true but
    String aTest = getStringFromWhereElseThatIsTest();
    aTest=="test"; // Will most likely return false

  • Problem with IN/Decode combination

    Hi,
    Can we use DECODE function with a query in an IN operator???
    e.g
    select ename, sal
    from emp
    where job in
    (decode(v_job, 'C', 'Clerk', 'S', '''Salesman'''||','||'''Systems Analyst'''||','||'''Software Engr'''));
    Its not returning me the records in case of 'S'. What is wrong with this query?
    Need urgent help.
    Thanx in advance!
    Zaaf

    > But I still wonder what was wrong with the actual query.
    Your where clause,
    where job
      in (decode(v_job, 'C', 'Clerk',
         'S', '''Salesman'''||','||'''Systems Analyst'''||','||'''Software Engr'''));translates to:
    where v_job='C' and job='Clerk'
       or v_job='S' and job='*Salesman*,*Systems Analyst*,*Software Engr*'But I have replaced the apostrophes with asterisks to illustrate what you were trying to do.
    In other words, you were looking for JOB equal to the following 44 characters, including the quotes and commas:
    'Salesman','Systems Analyst','Software Engr'

  • Problem with Adobe Decoder ST 7.5 - decoding error

    Hi all,
    I have an Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ST version 7.5 installed on
    Windows XP. While trying to decode a barcoded pdf it logs the following
    AdobeException: "Error in the PDF library."
    The same pdf file is successfully decoded on Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ST version 7.0.
    I've try to design the barcoded pdf with Adobe Designer 7.1 and 8.0 the decoding error is the same with Adobe Barcoded Forms 7.5.
    I'll be very thankful for any kind of information about it.

    Hi Lee,
    I'm decoding a PDF that was filled, then saved without printing or scanning.
    I create it with Adobe Designer 8.0, after that I'm adding it all rights (including 2D barcode decoding) with ReaderExtension 7.2. During the execution I have an error in the ReaderExtension console - "ERROR: document does not have certifying signature".
    After that I'm filling and saving the extended pdf file with Adobe Reader 7.0.5, then I put the filled file in the input directory of the decoder and I receive the decoder error.
    I'll send you the file.
    Thank you very much.
    Stanislava.
    P.S. The ReaderExtensions and Barcoded Forms Decoder are both installed on Windows XP (one computer).

  • Photoshop has problem with .JPEG decoding ??

    There seems to be an issue with either JPEG decoding in Photoshop or the blend modes don't work as they should. Or maybe someone finds the true reason ... ?
    Let's go step-by-step:
    This is the original image file (JPEG):
    This is the same image converted to .png:
    I examined the differences. Open one image and add the second image as a new layer over it with blend mode = difference. Use magic wand tool, with tolerance=zero. Expected results: entirely black image, entire image selected. Actual esults (white filled selection):
    [IMG]http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/694/differencepg1.png[/IMG]
    Merge both layers, invert the colors and you see the differences between the images. I applied a curves adjustment to exaggerate the differences:
    [IMG]http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/1995/difference2zw5.png[/IMG]
    Again, this time you should see an entirely white image, if both images were identical.
    The JPEG-to-PNG conversion was done with a third party image viewer that I trust. Obviously, the possibility exists, that this conversion is not exact/losless. But I can refute this, as I converted both the source JPEG image and the converted PNG image to BMP images, and the two files that were obtained this way were bit-for-bit identical:
    So it's impossible that any loss occured, given that in the a losless reconstruction was possible.
    Thus the error must be somewhere within Photoshop.
    Any ideas?

    in DECODE() you cannot include an operators such as the greater than, less than, and/or equal sign.
    instead you can use the CASE...WHEN in the SELECT statement:

  • Problem with inspire 5100 digital decoder

    I have some problem with the decoder included with the Inspire 500 digital. I usually have it connected by soundblaster's audigy digital out to decoder's coaxial digital in (SPDIF). and recently sound has dissaperas replaced by a chipping and cropping low noise. Have you any ideas about it's. When I connect the soundblaser's speakers out to decoder's line in works only for stereo (losing 5.1 capabilities), and bypassing the decoder i can get 5.1 sound, but i can't use the included remote control to change volume or anything.
    Thank you.
    I'm sorry for my poor english, it's not my native lenguage.

    I'm not sure exactly how you're connecting things. You say you connected an optic out to a digital DIN on the receiver? These are totally different connectors.
    The output on the card itself isn't optical. What you could use is a minijack to RCA (female) adapter, and then connect a standard RCA to RCA, male to male (SPDIF) cable to that, which plugs into the coaxial input on the receiver. Alternati'vely you could use a minijack to Digital DIN adapter and connect the DIN cable to that, and connect to the receiver.
    Do you have the SBLi've 24-bit External? Do you mean you connected the optical output to the optical input on the receiver?
    It may be best to contact Customer Support to speak to them one-on-one, to go over the connections and settings, if you're unsure of which to use.

  • Hum problem with DDTS-100 with Klipsch Promedia 5.1

    I have a problem with me decoder DDTS-100 since the beginning. I use it with Promedia 5.1 Klipsch kit.
    When I use digital sources either optical or coax, when my decoder does'nt receive any signal from my DVD or X-box, I am earing a big hum coming out from my speakers. And then when my DDTS-100 receive a digital signal the hum disapeer.
    I am not earing the hum when I use the analog input.
    I am very disapointed about this bug because when the volume is high I am worried about my Klipsch kit.
    Thanks in advance
    Mat

    I finnaly found out my problem
    The buzz came out from my coax cable from my DVD. My DVD player was probably inducing 60Hz on the coax output.
    I switched to the optical output and no more buzz.
    I'll need to buy a new toslink cable to plug my x-box on the optical input #2
    Also I pluged my TV audio out in my st analog input, it also induced a 60 Hz on my DDTS-100. The decoder does not seem to filter out electric noises.
    I'm pretty happy to have found out my problem but I'm very dispointed that the DDTS-100 does not filter any electric noises.

  • Problem with Nokia 5700's audio adapter

    I have recently updated my Nokia 5700's firmware with the newest version. But now I can't use my audio adapter(this thing: http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/7485/adapteryb4.jpg ) which is connected with the headphones. While I listened to music, I tried to press any of the music control buttons but they didn't work. I am sure it is not broken and the problem is from the firmware, because the adapter was perfectly working before the update. Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks!

    it's not bacause of the update you did. it's the damned thing itself. Main died several mounts ago. There's a problem with the battery inside the remote control. NOKIA you give all customers new ones through care centers.

  • Problem with DECODE block in WHERE clause

    Hi,
    I'm facing problem with DECODE statement. I just simulated my problem in the simple way as follows. If I execute this following query, I should get "hello", but I'm not getting anything (ZERO rows returned).
    SELECT 'hello' FROM DUAL
    WHERE 'sample1' in (DECODE(1, 1, '''sample1'', ''sample2'', ''sample3''',
    2, '''sample4'', ''sample5'', ''sample6'''
    I think some problem is there in my WHERE clause.
    But When I'm exeucting the following query as a seperate query, then I'm getting the value of DECODE block properly, but didn;t understnad why its not returning the same way when I'm putting the same DECODE statement in WHERE clause.
    SELECT DECODE(1, 1, '''sample1'', ''sample2'', ''sample3''',
    2, '''sample4'', ''sample5'', ''sample6'''
    FROM DUAL;
    Please help me to get out of this problem. Thank you so much in advance.
    Thanks,
    Ramji.

    The value returned by SELECT DECODE(1, 1, '''sample1'', ''sample2'', ''sample3''',2, '''sample4'', ''sample5'', ''sample6''') FROM DUAL;
    'sample1', 'sample2', 'sample3' is a single string. Consider it x.
    SELECT 'hello' FROM DUAL WHERE 'sample1' in ( DECODE(1, 1, '''sample1'', ''sample2'', ''sample3''',2, '''sample4'', ''sample5'', ''sample6'''));
    is like SELECT 'hello' FROM DUAL WHERE 'sample1' in ('x');
    or
    SELECT 'hello' FROM DUAL WHERE 'sample1' in ('''sample1'', ''sample2'', ''sample3''') and not
    SELECT 'hello' FROM DUAL WHERE 'sample1' in ('sample1', 'sample2', 'sample3');
    For this same reason SELECT 'hello' FROM DUAL WHERE 'sample1' in (select '''sample1'', ''sample2'', ''sample3''' from dual);
    also does'nt work.
    Please use INSTR to find whether 'sample1' exists in the string 'sample1', 'sample2', 'sample3'.

  • Problems with decoding an latin1-encoded url

    Hi,
    i have a problem with decoding german umlaut-characters from an URL.
    I'm using Tomcat 5.5 on a Linux server and one on a windows machine for development. Both webapps have the same configurations.
    A servlet decodes the URL-String, parses it and stores the parsed data into a mysql-DB.
    For decoding the query-string i'm using org.apache.commons.codec.net.URLCodec.URLCodec.decode .
    Here's the code:
    String unparsedParameters = request.getQueryString();
    URLCodec codec = new URLCodec("ISO-8859-1");
    result = codec.decode(unparsedParameters);Here an example for a query-string: http://servername:8080/servlet/Import?Etwas%20wurde%20am%2025.08.2010%2010%3A16%3A50%20*ge%E4ndert*
    On the windows machine the word "*ge&auml;ndert*" is decoded correctly. But on the linux server i get "*ge?ndert*". It makes no difference if i write the result into the database or just into a logfile.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: sol1640 on Aug 26, 2010 5:59 AM

    Problem resolved.
    Instead of using the decode-method as described in my fist message now i'm doing the folowing:
    fURLDecodigCharset = "ISO8859-1";
    byte[] bytes = originalParam.getBytes(fURLDecodigCharset);
    byte[] decodeUrl = URLCodec.decodeUrl(bytes);
    result = new String (decodeUrl, fURLDecodigCharset);because the method "decode" decodes the string by using the defaultcharset. And that was the problem.
    >
    The default charset is determined during virtual-machine startup and typically depends upon the locale and charset of the underlying operating system.
    >
    Thats why i've got different behaviours on different systems.

  • Problem with decode!!!

    Hi guys,
    I have a problem with "decode"!
    How can I tell the decode expression
    that if a rowset don't exists --> then doing something.
    I've tried that with "NULL" but that don't works.
    here my code:
    I wanted that if tx.text doesn't exists then
    it returns fs.anlageschwerpunkt_lang, and otherwise
    it returns tx.Text.
    select
    decode(tx.Text,NULL,fs.anlageschwerpunkt_lang,tx.Text) Anlageschwerpunkt_1 from
    POI.Fondsstamm fs,
    Texte tx,
    Texttypstamm txy
    where
    tx.match='amfcomm'
    and tx.match=rtrim(fs.match)
    and tx.TEXTTYPID=txy.TEXTTYPID
    and txy.BEREICHSID=14
    and txy.texttyp='Marketingstrategie'
    I hope somebody of you can help me
    thanxx
    Schoeib

    I read Schoeibs question differently; no ROWS are being returned. In that case you cannot expect DECODE or any other function to do anything. Assuming that rows always exist in fs and txy and are only missing in tx, then you need an outer join. Note that the join of tx.match = rtrim(fs.match) has been altered to avoid outer joining to more than one table. As mentioned before, although the decode is OK, NVL could be used instead.
    select
    decode(tx.Text,NULL,fs.anlageschwerpunkt_lang,tx.Text) Anlageschwerpunkt_1 from
    POI.Fondsstamm fs,
    Texte tx,
    Texttypstamm txy
    where
    tx.match(+)='amfcomm'
    and rtrim(fs.match) = 'amfcomm'
    and tx.TEXTTYPID(+)=txy.TEXTTYPID
    and txy.BEREICHSID=14
    and txy.texttyp='Marketingstrategie'

  • MSI FX 5700 Ultra problem with linux

    Hi,
    I know that linux are not officially suported by MSI VGA cards, but NVIDIA based VGA cards use to work under linux. I've got a problem with a recent purchase and until now I didn't found any answer.
    Here is my problem, if anyone here have an idea :
    I recently upgraded my video card Geforce 2 MX to a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra from MSI (FX 5700 Ultra TD128).
    I've an Athlon XP 2000,
    motherboard Gigabyte GA-7VAXP, 512 Mb,
    distrib Mandrake 9.2
    latest nvidia driver 5328
    At startup after installation, Mandrake detected a new hardware, but it was not the right card name. The video test failed and X (graphic mode) didn't start.
    Back to console mode, I discovered that even the console mode doesn't work properly : I have no cursor and the screen lines don't scroll up when the screen gets full (very hard to type commands or edit files).
    I checked the XF86Config-4 : for me it seems ok. Actually, it didn't change from the previous card.
    I've no errors in the XFree log (no lines with (EE)).
    I went to the MSI site to look for a newer bios version, but there is'nt.
    I tried both DVI and VGA connection with my LCD monitor, same thing.
    I also tried running Knoppix (liveCD distrib), same prob.
    I pasted below the message i've got on screen when I try to start X manually (this doesn't help much either) :
    XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
          after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
    It seems to me that this graphic card simply doesn't work under linux.
    Thanks a lot for any help.

    To get  X to work with your LCD during the installation process append nofb as one of the installation options.
    I have a 17" LCD so you might like to compare the relevant sections in your XF86Config with these:
    Section "Module"
       Load  "dbe"
       Load  "extmod"
       Load  "fbdevhw"
       Load  "glx"
            Load  "dri"
       Load  "record"
       Load  "freetype"
       Load  "type1"
    EndSection
    (The Load "dri" gets removed prior to installing nvidia's Forceware drivers.)
    Section "Monitor"
       Identifier   "Monitor0"

  • GF 5700 Ultra, problems with KG7 Motherboard

    Hi,
    My system specs are:
    Athlon 1400 (t-bird, 133 bus)
    KG7-lite motherboard
    512Mb corsair memory (333, running at 266)
    MSI geforce 5700 ultra
    sound blaster live value
    120 gig west dig, 80 gig western dig
    I have had a fair few problems with this card, firstly it took me several hours to get it working.  When i first put it in the screen was pretty distorted.  I tried to install the latest nvidia drivers but they caused the screen to turn blank (signal but black screen) when windows came to the log on screen.
    I reset my bios settings for my motherboard and got windows to boot although it was ni 4-bit colour mode. Eventually I was able to get the correct drivers installed and the card seems to be working OK.
    When i turn certian settings on like "fast write" it causes the screen to blank out like previously mentioned.
    Now its installed im not really satisfied with the quality but im putting this down to my fairly low spec CPU and motherboard which i hope to upgrade in the new year.
    [edit] Morrowind, which is the only game i have tried, is now unplayable and i am unsure why.  The graphics right from the first screen are distorted. [/edit]
    anyone else had any of these problems and know if there will be any fixes for this?
    cheers,
    Seb

    Seb,
    The picture was exactly what I was looking for. You have everything bunched up on IRQ5. Your system does not have a chance of running correctly in that configuration.
    your motherboard is too old to support APIC so you only get IRQs 0-15. To free up some IRQs, disable COM1, Com2, and Parallel Port if you are not using them.
    You should not use PCI Slot 1 because it shares the IRQ with AGP Slot. You should not use PCI Slot 4 because it shares with the USB Controller. You should not use PCI Slot 5 because it shares with the Highpoint IDE Controller. The rest of the PCI Slots should be fine.
    Make sure you load the latest Motherboard Drivers too.
    Take Care,
    Richard
