Problem with T6100 woofer

I have big trouble with my woofer .... It issues a thing (at most brands) at particular type of bass by farting. Is this demerit.... I hope the system is not made so

Could you specify your problem somewhat more? I just don'g get what the sub does or doesn't do... Mine is working fine.

  • Problem with T6100

    I have some kick ass 5.1 T6100 speakers, but no matter what I plug in to the Port named "center", no sound is generated to that speaker. Is this a problem with my Sound Card or the Speakers?
    I have a kind of On-Board Card, it's not actually integrated but is the one that came with my Motherboard.

    Try using a pair of headphone and plug that into the same onboard soundcard audio output jack that you used to connect to the speaker center audio cable. That should give you a brief idea where the fault lies.

  • Problem with center/woofer in blaster

    hi, i have a new blaster 5. and the [color="#ff0000"]surround works fine[color="#ff3300"> except for the center/wooferne of them doesnt work so the orange output gives me just one signal so i can play the center or the woofer but not both...can someone help?thanks in advance..

    No way to turn off short-cuts using Out-of-box solution. It will require custom event handler that needs to be written or possibly java-script could intercept.
    Cheers!

  • Problem with woofer

    i have a creative SBS 2.1 370 and it is connected to the output of my computer.
    the problem with my speaker is that the woofer is giving an intermittent sound which resembles
    the sound which we hear from a woofer when a nearby tube light is switched on. this problem is there
    even when the sound output of the computer is not given. i tried by disconnecting the two speakers attached to it and still the noise is coming.
    please help me

    Check that all the cables are securely in place.

  • Problem with my Inspire T6100

    When Im listening music or watching movies sound of my system RISE or go LOWER alone. Please someone tell me is that a hardware problem or what. Im warried about my system!
    I have seen another people with this strange problem, and no answer. Pls, help with this.

    I check every inch of this cable and others. It's look good to me. Is that any chance the problem is in the cable and it cant be seen, because on the surface of the cables there's nothing.
    Mmm, is there a chance to have a problem with someone of the jacks of the sound card ?

  • Z problems with subwoofer/bass in windows 8.1

    Somehow in windows 8 the bass/sub-woofer does not work. When i open the panel of the new drivers and test the speakers, all speakers work fine, but in the browser or some music applications the sub does not work, all the sound is coming out the front speakers or sometimes with redirection enabled - the center speaker. I checked the cables and even swapped them one time to see what happens - sub-woofer started working in the wrong jack for a while, but once i tested the speakers in the panel - no bass again. Weird thing is, if i use asio in music bee - all works fine, but if i want to watch a movie, open youtube or use other music players then there is no bass from sub. Redirection option seems to do nothing, except in browser, where it switches bass from front to center speaker, which of course sounds terrible. I have tried reinstalling, changing the card to other slots on the motherboard, trying to change windows sound settings, deleting adobe flash, enabling and disabling adobe flash. So far i had no luck.
    Weirdly enough after restart the creative panel sometimes does not detect the card and i have to choose it from a drop down list. I had the same problem with the x-fi on the old pc.
    Win 8.1 x64, amd fx8350, 8gb ddr3 1333, gtx 660 2gb, sb z 5.1

    Ok, think i fixed it, thanks to this post
    That weird problem happened to me also. What I did it's just from speaker/headphones tab in creative control panel or from control panel-sound-speakers-configure, uncheck - Full-Range speakers, at least for surround speakers, if you do it also for Fronts bass will be louder, but if you have big front speakers(as me), don't do that you can add it by checking - Sub. Gain.
    I hope this will help you!!

  • Problems with volume control, built-in speaker on HP ProBook

    Hi
    Recently installed Arch on a HP ProBook 4330s. Initially sound was working perfectly, but now I'm having problems with the built-in speaker.
    Using alsamixer in the terminal, I can independently control the volume of the headphone jack and the speaker, but it seems like the speaker is linked to the headphone volume instead of the speaker volume. Thus raising the speaker volume in alsamixer has no effect on the speaker itself, which only outputs sound as long as the headphone volume is raised and the loopback box is checked. This also means that the speakers cannot be muted while using headphones.
    I installed pavucontrol to see if I could gain any insight, but trying to select "Speakers" as output port seems only to have an effect the volume sliders in alsamixer. So no settings in PulseAudio UI could solve my issue.
    I have googled wide and far, but haven't found anything helpful. I tried reoading kernel modules snd-hda-intel, snd-hda-codec-idt, snd-hda-codec-generic, but nothing changed.
    Below is some info of my system. Please let me know if I need provide more. Any help is appreciated.

    I do have all those packages installed. The volume controls were working perfectly for about 3 week, but now suddenly they are not behaving as expected. I don't know of any changes I made to my system that could have caused this. I suspected it might be a problem with the drivers, so I tried to find the appropriate driver at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentatio … Models.txt
    [frwdrik@frwdrik ~]$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep -i codec
    Codec: IDT 92HD87B1/3
    But I cannot find this codec on that page.

  • Problem with T7900

    HI,
    I have a T7900 connected with a SB Audigy Value.
    Everything was working fine, untill i decided to put to the woofer sideways. eventually I didn't like the setting and put it back up the way it is supposed to be . However i noticed something different.
    Now, for reasons unkown, I am not getting any sound in the front and the side speakers. Running creative diagnostics generates sound only in the center and the rear speakers. I have tried switching speakers to rule out faulty wires and speakers. It seems like there is no output coming from the front and side speaker outputs in the woofer.
    ANy help ? suggestion ? possible causes and troubleshooting tips?
    Thanks
    Regards
    Kamran

    Hi Kamran As your problem please check is there problem with your sound card or speakres. to check this you can take simple headphonesor earphones by inserting directly into sound card's output jack. if there is good sound is coming from both front green socket & black socket of sound card then it is prblem with your only speakrs and your do not require to do anything with your sound card. If problem found with sound card then please set your sound card at factory default setting or re load the whole drivers & creative application again. If problem only with speaker then check the setelites RCA jacks properly inserted. if problem again persistes thebring your subwoofer at any creative service center or where your purchased.

  • A problem with threads

    I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
    Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
    My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
    Thank you in advance,
    Lefty

    This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
    public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
         boolean active = true;          
         public void run(){
              ss.setSoTimeout(90);               
              while (active){                   
                   try{                       
                        serverSocket = ss.accept();
                   catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
                   // do nothing                   
         // interrupt thread           
         public void deactivate(){               
              active = false;
              // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the               
              // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.               
              try{
                   sleep(91);               
              }catch (InterruptedException ie){            
              interrupt();
    }

  • Problem with Threads and a static variable

    I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
    Code functionality:
    A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
    The problem as far I understand is:
    Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
    Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
    Thanks,
    B.D.
    Code:
    private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
    private static Thread objMainProcess;
       protected static void Init(){
            objMainProcess = new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                    while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                       GetState();
            objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
            objMainProcess.start();
        public static void initStatusTimer(){
            if(objTimer == null)
                 objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                              SetState();
        private static void SetState(){
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                bChanged = true;
                try{
                    objMainProcess.notify();
                }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
        private static boolean GetState() {
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                if( bChanged) {
                    SendMessage();
                    bChanged = false;
                    return true;
                try {
                    objMainProcess.wait();
                }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
                return false;
        }

    Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
    Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
    The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
    Thanks,
    B.D.

  • Problem with threads running javaw

    Hi,
    Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
    troy.

    troy,
    Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
    does not work.
    When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
    error and standard output streams to file.

  • Problem with threads and camera.

    Hi everybody!
    I've a problem with taking snapshot.
    I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
    have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
    I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
    I made this code:
    display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                        Thread.yield();
                    notifyAll();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        this.wait();                   
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
    I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
    Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

    Hi,
    I've finally managed to work this fine.
    The code:
           Object o = new Object();
           display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while(!performing.isShown()){
                        Thread.yield();
                   synchronized(o) {
                      o.notify();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        synchronized(o) {
                           o.wait(1);
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();

  • Problem with threads hanging

    We have a problem where our application stops responding after a few days of usage. Things will for fine for a day or two, and then pretty quickly threads will start getting hung up, usually in places where they are allocating memory
    We are running WebLogic 8.1 SP2 on Sun JDK 1.4.2_04 on Solaris 8 using the alternate threading model and the -server hotspot vm. We are running pretty much the same code that we had no problems with under WebLogic 6.1 SP4 and Sun JDK 1.3.1.
    A thread dump usually shows that some or all of our execute threads are in the state "waiting for monitor entry" even though they are not currently waiting on any java locks. Here is a sample thread from the thread dump (we have ~120 threads so I don't want to post the full dump).
    =============================================================================================

    String.java line 1446 for this jdk allocates a new String object, and all the other threads in this state also are creating new objects or arrays, etc.
    We've done a pstack on this process when it's in this state, and the threads that are in the "waiting for monitor entry" that look like they're allocating memory are all waiting on the same lwp_mutex_lock with some allocation method that's calling into the native TwoGenerationCollectorPolicy.mem_allocate_work (see pstack output below for the same thread as in the thread dump above)

    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by something we're doing, or something relating to our environment and jvm options. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply - I'm testing our app with the +UseConcMarkSweepGC now in our test environment to make sure it doesn't cause any problems there.  Unfortunately the only place we've had this problem is on the production server, so it's extra difficult debugging this. 
    We're using the following memory options:
    -ms512m -mx512m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8and the following debugging options, as we've also been seeing OutOfMemoryErrors ( see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=37&thread=522354&tstart=45&trange=15 )
    -verbosegc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGCBTW, which c++filt version and options are you using? Our Solaris boxes only seem to have the GNU version installed. I was trying to run that on some of the other stack traces and wasn't getting anywhere, and didn't know if because it was GNU version wouldn't work on something compiled with the Sun compiler.
    Thanks!

  • Problem with threads and ProgressMonitor

    Dear Friends:
    I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
    But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
    I use something like this:
    LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
    myTask.start();
    myTask.join();
    Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
    What's wrong?

    Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
    In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating
