S750 Audio Control Pod power problem?

Hi everyone,After powered on for 2 days, my Audio Control Pod of S750 gets power intermittently. Every time it lost power, all volumes were reset. Sometime, there is still sound when there is no power to Audio Control pod.Any advises, thanks.

From my search to this forum, I found some possible causes which I will try of course and will help also people with future problems:

Hi
According to my broken POD (see page 26 to know about my problem), unfortunately I found that the CPU (the 24 pins chip named M34502E4FP) is broken.
In order to help other guys, having similar problems, I explain the problem I found in my POD in order you can verify if your POD can be repaired or not.
The probelm in my POD is in the RESET pin (pin 6) of the CPU. It is SC (internally) while it should be set to 5 V (5V is applied to R9 which is then connected to C and also to the RESET pin of the CPU. C is then connected to the ground). In case the RESET pin is not set to a value about 5 V, all the LEDs in the POD are switched off and you cannot also switch on the system.
Unfortunately this chip cannot be replaced with a new one (you can buy on Internet) because it has also to be programmed (e.g. it contains also EPROM, CMOS controlling the volume for bass, sub etc...).
My problem is now to buy a new POD. Can someone of you sell me a working POD?
So in this case looks like, the cause is the pod. Now looking for new pod...

Gigaworks S750 audio control pod - headphone jack

Apparently the headphone jack in the audio control pod has stopped working. I plug a working pair of headphones in and get no sound at all. If I fiddle around with wires in the sub, I get some clicking, but no other audio comes through.
The only thing I can think of is a recent storm knocked out power while my headphones were plugged in. Previously I had been using them with just the audio control pod hooked up (recent move), and they were working fine. Anyways just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.
Thanks!

Problem recording from Line-in (Audio Control Pod)... NOT THE TIPICAL OBVIOUS PROBLEM (I think X

Hi guys!!
I have a little problem and i have think you could help me...
I'm trying to connect my electric guitar to my Audigy 2 ZS... My problem is that i connect the AMPLIFIED output of my guitar to Line-In in Audio Control Pod of my T7700 speakers... I Can hear the what i'm playing from my speakers but I can't record anything... I check all the obviuos things, like I have selected Analog Mixer (Line/CD/TAD/...) from Surround Mixer Tab drivers (Rec tab) and in Control Panel of Windows too. What am i doing bad?...
Thank you for your help!

May have already been answered, but, hey, what the heck, I've got free time:
Allow me to clarify. Plug your guitar into the Line-In on your <EM>sound card</EM>. Plugging it into your speakers only uses your speakers as an amp.
Then, in Creative Recorder select Line-In as the source.
Speakers, unless they're plugged into the mic jack on your sound card (which they shouldn't be), do not transmit data back to the PC.
EDIT: Line-in is this thingie (( )) with an arrow pointing inside.Message Edited by ghostrecon09 on 02-22-2005 05:4 AM

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro and Inspire T7700 does not recognize Mic on Audio Control

Hi folks,
I decided to hook up my headphone and mic sets to the Audio Control Pod for the first time recently to chat online. I'm not sure if I ever tried this when I bought the Inspire T7700 speaker system, but I cannot seem to get any voice to come through in Windows' Sound Recorder (the headphones work fine). I'm hoping that someone here can help...otherwise, I suppose I'll have to find an alternate solution than using my soundcard system.
Here are some specs:
OS: Windows XP SP2 and all current updates
Soundcard: Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Speakers: Inspire T7700 with Audio Control Pod (contains the headphone and mic jack)
Here's what I have tried:
. Updated drivers to: SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_006.exe
2. Tested headsets and mics out on another one of my computers with a SoundBlaster Li've. They work fine.
3. Set each audio source with full volume in the Recording Control window as the source while recording in Windows' Sound Recorder (I know some of these aren't right, but I tried them all nonetheless):
- MIDI Synth
- Line-In 3
- Line-In /Mic (this should be the one, I think)
- S/PDIF-In
- Auxiliary (this might be the one for the Audio Control Pod)
- "What U Hear"
- Line-In 2
- CD Digital
- Wave
4. Installed the Creative software from the official CD to manage the audio and speaker settings. Retested the same as item 3 above within this software. Same results.
5. Disconnected the external I/O hub (since I am connecting to the Audio Control Pod, which connects to the speaker system and then my sound card). Interestingly, the Line-In /Mic input disappeared. All that I saw for an input (I believe) was Auxiliary. I tried even that as noted in item 3, but nothing.
Has anyone had any luck in getting a mic from a headphone set to work with the Audio Control Pod for the Inspire T7700 speaker system along with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Read the FAQ on top of the soundcard forum concerning SPDIF and digital out. The reason is very easy to find out if you read that. In short: the digital out can only send out a PCM stereo signal (which is why you only get FL/FR sound) and an encoded AC-3 signal.

S750: control pod flashing red led READ AND HELP!

Hi, basically my S750 set of speakers isnt working correctly. When im listening to music and start to pump the voloume up it just stops and the control pod goes back to standy mode with the red led light. Sometime it keeps flashing and I can hear a clicking noise coming from the sub, when the control pod was flashing and the sub was making a clicking noise i looked at the back and saw the green light flickering. Can anybody help me please

I did thing is its really a lot of hassle. Im based in England, and I need to call a number in dublin (International call) and then pay 6.75 to a 'tutoring session' which will last 30 minutes. That's why I was trying to resolve my problem on here, they don't even know what it could be either. I have dropped my control pod a few times on the floor, so i don't know if it could be faulty now, like a wire may have come loose inside,but then that doesn't explain when i try and play fall power it all cuts out,what do you think?

Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed. It is under the Software Solutions category.
You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.

Any ideas how to make this thing to remember my settings the way I want it's Thanks!

[ PROBLEM ] Audio Control app wont recognise card properly

Hi
I have a X-Fi ExtremeGamer card in my Win 7 home premium setup and am struggling to set it up properly.
Long story short , I pulled out the X-Fi card and tried the onboard audio as I was getting an issue with the audio playing around using the creative drivers ( volume changes mid song, positional audio in games was often unusal ).
The Realtek stuff wasnt too bad but I wanted to try my X-Fi card again, it is suppose to be better after all.
Anyways...
I disabled the onboard audio , safe mode and cleaned all the realtek drivers out and any lingering creative drivers with Driver Sweeper, used CCleaner to clean up the reg and rebooted.
Installed the BETA drivers from creative and the audio works fine, but when I try use the crystaliser or other SB features the app complains
" The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit. "
I installed Daniel_K's drivers from a CD ISO he put out a while back, and the applications worked fine but the audio dropped in and out, so I downloaded the official creative drivers for my card and OS, and the application worked fine again but as with Daniels drivers the audio dropped in and out so I reverted to the beta drivers... and the audio dropped in and out as well.
I worked it out to being the volume controls on the creative 5. speakers , which every set of speakers I have bought from creative have had the same issue, the volume slider on the cable... after some use it messes up the audio and it becomes safer just to adjust the volume in the software.
After deciding the issue was with the volume slider on the cable, I wanted to re-install Daniel_K's driver pack so I could access the other features, now it suddenly doesnt recognise the device anymore, nore does the official none beta drivers from creative, nor does the latest PAX drivers ... all report the same issue:
" The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit. "?
I am starting to tear my hair out here, the audio works and the card is recognised in the Device Manager as 'Creative SB X-Fi' , I have clean the drivers , the registery , used the patch that fixes a bug where the update wouldnt recognise cards properly , re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re installed the drivers.... carefully EACH time.
I triple checked I was downloading the Win 7 64bit OS ver of the X-Fi ExtremeGamer drivers.
What now ?
ALSO Who thought it was a bright idea to put up the volume to 87% when you install drivers ? It also unmutes the volume if you mute it before restart, and it puts the volume back up to 87% if you dare to lower the volume before rebooting the PC to complete the install.
( NOTE: It only does this after the initial reboot to complete the install, subsequent re-boots leaves the volume alone )

I give up...
I sent a form to the tech guys , detailing the problem and outlining the steps I took to fix the issue...and they direct me to http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...aspx?sid=55438?, oh I can use Device Manager to uninstall , oh and Control Panel - Programs to unistall the Creative stuff ( note: I am being very sarcastic here ).
This is the information I sent the tech:
Detailed Problem Description:
Creative audio application does not recognise SB X-Fi card , card audio functions just cant control the feature set. Error msg : " The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit. " Suspect nVidia installing of HD audio drivers causing 4 (four) additional High Definition Audio Devices to appear in the device manager screen. Unable to uninstall these devices as Win7 auto re-reinstalls with generic MS drivers, can only disable. Creative SB X-Fi card listed in audio devices as 2 - SB X-Fi. Suspect the audio control application looks in the first slot and doesnt recognise the device and fails, doesnt look at the 2 ( second slot ? ) Tried a full uninstall including going to safe mode and removing drivers with Driver Sweeper, CCLeaner to clear out registry entries and removed the card, booted to windows without the card , re-seated the card and re-installed the drivers.

Thank you
and this is the advice I got ...
Thank you for contacting Creative Labs.
To avoid installing the incorrect driver on your soundcard, we suggest that you do a full uninstallation using the guidelines, steps provided in our website. Shutdown your PC then take out the card and make sure to place it on another slot. Second, disable your onboard audio and if your graphic card comes with any audio support as well, disable this feature.

T7700 control pod headphone jack not working

I recently moved my PC and it seems in the process that the control pod headphone jack has stopped working, I've tried headphones and a speaker cable to connect up to my tv and there's just nothing apart from the pop/click when I plug them in so I'm assuming there's power getting to them.
I've checked all the cables and they're all in where they should be, this is just a really strange and very annoying problem as I know Creative don't sell replacement pods - although they did used to sell a wireless one with a remote but now I can't even find that for sale on the site.
Anyone had the same/similar problem and been able to fix it's
Thanks

Okay, so when I said all the cables were where they should be they actually kind of weren't, but they were where I've always had them (I had the green and black cables the wrong way round) and I had the speakers - I'm only running a 2.1 setup right now - in the rear ports. I've now corrected it and audio is now coming through my headphone jack once again, really odd how it worked all that time before though.

Gigaworks S750 - cutting off the power

Hi everybody, I use GW S750 for about two years and I have the same problem from the beginning. During playback the power supply suddenly loses the power and the whole speakers system crashed down. Sometimes it's happen once a day, but sometimes it's happen ten times in a minute. After crash I can normaly turn on the power switch on Audio Control Pad and it works until the next crash... Does anybody have the same problem and (or) any solution?

If either of those devices are writing data to their hard drives when you cut the power the file and/or hard drive could become corrupted.
You should leave them on. The only time I would turn them off is when you are going to be gone for days or longer.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59001-59500/sp59291.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow thisand then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Start the notebook and let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

DP-K

Inspire control pod intermittent

I did a forum search but did not find this specificaly.
I have 2 inspire systems. The T-5500 (I think this is it) a 2.1 sys. and the Inspire T-7900 7.1. They both have the same control pod. BOTH of them, out of the box, began having the problem of fading in and out. They fade the vollume level. The green backlighting dims in and out concurrently with the audio. Jiggling the control wheel stops it.
Anyone else with this? Or is it only a coincidence that I got it twice with 2 brand new systems?

I have the exact same problem (vol goes up and down) - in fact this seems to be a very common problem... Creative should do something about this. Even if owners are willing to pay for a fixed volume controller, they are not even stocking this item with the excuse that it's discontinued... sure but I personally feel they can do better as this seems to be a real problem most FPS2000 users are experiencing...

H8-1287 Beats Audio controls do not work in Windows 8.1

I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed the IDT High-Definition audio driver from HP's website. The surround sounds seems to be working but the controls do not work to modify the EQ etc. I've seen the problem has been resolved for Envy laptops but all the links for the software appear to only be for the notebooks and not compatible with my desktop system. I've downloaded the available software (IDT High-Definition Audio driver) found under my HPE HI-1287 product from HP's support site but the Beats audio control panel doesn't seem to make any sound quality changes. Hopefully there is a driver somewhere compatible with my desktop system that allows controling the audio properly. Thanks.

Hello @KICR,
I understand that the Beats Audio Console is not adjusting the audio settings on your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. According to the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC Drivers page there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your computer. I can only assume that this means your computer is currently using Windows default drivers or Windows 8 drivers and the Beats Audio Console is not able to interact properly with the currently installed driver.
All I can recommend is that you check back periodically to the drivers page I linked above and see if Windows 8.1 drivers have been created. Other than that your only option at this time would be to use the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer back to Windows 8 where the Beats Audio Console has drivers that are compatible.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
