Some INSPIRE P5800 Problems

Hi, everyone, first time poster.
I have had Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 speakers for a couple of months now, which I run with Realtek AC'97 (onboard sound). However, there are two specific surround sound related problems that are bugging me.
1. Windows XP sounds are only played in the two front speakers, but not in any of the rear speakers, center speaker, or subwoofer.
2. This may not be the best place to ask this, but I use InterVideo WinDVD 6 Platinum to view DVDs. Since I want to configure it for surround sound, I change the player from a 2 channel configuration to the 6 channel configuration. However, the program is unable to detect my surround speakers, and therefore simply duplicates the front stereo for the rear speakers. The subwoofer doesn't seem to function.
My drivers are up to date and my Sounds and Audio Devices (Control Panel) is configured to my 5.1 system. Any ideas for why this is happening? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

NoradX,
Stereo are 2 channel only so it's normal that you obtain left and right output only. Depending on the features of the onboard audio, it may have upmixing feature to mix stereo to multiple output for a surround effect. Best to checkup with them the correct setting for the audio card.

  • Problem with Rear Speakers (Inspire P5800)

    Hi,
    I have bought the Inspire P5800 Sound System but I have a problem. When I do a soundtest with the driver software all speakers work but when I want to listen to music with Musicmatch Jukebox I don't get any sound on the rear speakers. I have on board AC97 sound on a Gigabyte K8NS motherboard.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks!

    robertthronhill,
    That's normal as music are mostly in stereo and that's 2 channel only. Creative sound card have CMSS feature that upmix stereo to surround soundfield but since you are using onboard audio, you will have to check with your mainboard manufacturer if those audio card have similar feature also.

  • Problem with Inspire P5800

    When I connect my headphones (Creative EP 80) to the remote control of Creative Inspire P5800, it's satellites don't mute automatically
    I have integrated souncard based on ALC 655 and Windows XP (licensed).
    What should I do to solve this problem?
    sorry for my mistakes in english, it's not my native language

    I think it depends on the soundcard, I don't know that model, but maybe it simply isn't able to sense a headphone is plugged in? I know SoundMax chips are able to, and Sound Blaster probably are too, but I can't seem to find that piece of information on realtek's site... So (please other users, correct me if I'm wrong!!?) I'm afraid you are just going to have to learn to live with muting center, LFE/Sub and surround channels when using headphones...
    EDIT: I think the headphone jack will still work if you switch the set off, would be easier than resetting all volumelevels everytime you are done using the headphones.

  • Replacement Wired Remote Creative Inspire P5800

    Does anyone know whether you can buy a replacement wired remote from a Creative Inspire P5800? I've spent all morning going in circles on their website. The headphone socket is defective on mine, and I don't really want to buy a whole new system if I can help it.

    Hey, I had the same problem some time ago with the same set. My solution was to make the wire straight and don't twist it anywhere. After that it all worked fine. Good Luck

  • I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC

    Copied from a post else where, any help greatly appreciated!!
    I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC for my needs & wondering how others do for similar needs....
    I have a 2TB TC that I have set up so that all of mine & my girlfriends photo's, music, movies & documents are on the one location so that we can access it wirelessly from both our MacBooks & also from a MacMini which I'm going to buy in a month or 2. Changing the location for where iTunes & iPhoto look wasn't a problem but browsing through iPhoto in particular is really slow due to the number of previews I presume, and also we are now unable to have any of the media with us when traveling about, synching phones on the move is a disaster as well!
    Anyway,
    is there an easy way of setting up iTunes / iPhoto so that we can have all the data on the TC managed on the MacMini but import small iTunes Playlists & iPhoto Albums to our MacBooks without having to change in preferences where the applications look for data each time we get home?
    Any help anybody can offer would be grand!
    Thanks in advance.........

    You topic might be better suited for the iPhoto or iTunes forums, since your question seems to be with the application(s) functionality, not really the Time Capsules. However, if you start iPhoto or iTunes while holding down on the "option/alt" key, you can manually select a library to access. When you want one of your computers to access the library on the Time Capsule, make sure it's mounted as a shared volume on your Desktop and then open iTunes and point it towards the library on the Time Capsule. If you want to use a smaller library on your computer, open iTunes and point it to the library on your Mac. I've never switched back and forth multiple times between multiple libraries, so you might check in the iPhoto or iTunes forums to see if any issues may arise from doing this repeatedly.

  • Please help me with disabled Inspire P5800

    My speaker system "Inspire P5800" was perished. There was some smoke. When I opened subwoofer I saw four burnt transistors. Also I saw one element (ZD. I think it stabilitron in glass body) was broken (divided in two) as a result of high heat. I was very pained. Does anybody know why the system was broken? Maybe it happened because I always used it with maximal value of volume, how you think? Do you know what mark is the mark of element which is marked "ZD" at circuit board? Has anybody basic circuit of amplifier of "Inspire P5800". If you'll answer to my question please be more easy (my English isn't so good). Thank you!

    I do not think that everything is already set as the password, the new e-mail. Now I have to update the application with no.
    And a warning, as it!! Your Apple ID has been disabled!!.
    If possible, you may be able to check my ID.
    And to the point. So let me do the right thing.
    ..............................................Thanks again......................................................

  • Ddts-100 and inspire p5800

    are the creative inspire p5800 speaker system compatible with the ddts-100 decoder?
    Is the decoder connectable to the K|i|s|s dp-1000 DVD Player?

    Gr33nC0d3r,
    Yes, the speaker is compatible with the DDTS-100 decoder. Also, you should be able to connect to the decoder without problems since the decoder have coaxial/optical input which most DVD player should have. What type of output connector does your DVD player have?

  • Inspire p5800 - center speaker doesnt work

    hi there...
    i got a little problem... i have SB audigy 2 and inspire p5800...
    I set i up and the center speaker doesnt work at all.. no madder what i do.. i can hear the center speaker snear or something.. but i cant hear any music from it at all...
    If i try calibrate the 5.1 the center speaker makes sound like it was the subwoofer... any solution for this? i checked the cables and they are in the right places..
    hope ya can help
    Jones

    Hm, that is certainly odd......make sure the jack that goes from the subwoofer to your sound card is in the correct spot.
    Not sure but you may have 3 wires going to your soundcard - refer to the user manual for the correct order.
    If you are using digital - well then - I don't have a clue unless you hooked that digital cable to the wrong place on the soundcard as well.
    Good luck.

  • Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Speakers Only the subwoofer and front 2 speakers work HELP!!

    Hello,
    I have got the "Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Speakers." I have connected all the speakers to the subwoofer and plugged my Creative Zen Vision : M into the AUX socket on the back of the subwoofer using a jack to jack cable. When i play music only the subwoofer and the front right and left speakers work is there anything i can do to change this? (I have got no Computer involved)
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Chris.

    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...
    Thank You

  • Asus A8N-E onboard Realtek AC97 and Creative Inspire P5800's

    I am attempting to connect some creative inspire p5800 speakers to the realtek AC97 audio on my A8N-E. But when I run the connector sensing it senses the jack i have plugged into the lime/green socket as stereo line in. In the speaker configuration the lime/green socket is identified as Front speaker out. The jack at the other end of the lead is plugged into the correct socket on the subwoofer. The rear and center speakers work fine.Any ideas would be greatly appreciatedThanks

    well there jason, since you asked, there are some of us who have the P7800 where there are four plugs on the side of the speakers and only three plugs on the computer side with asus mother board needing four. The only way around it is to disconnect the grey plug which is the bass and side speakers and bootleg to the bass which isn't how it is supposed to work.

  • Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

    Fixes for some transform effects problems.
    - We were not animating the postLayout properties in some cases where we should have, effectively pinning the object in place. We now animate those properties whenever applyChangesPostLayout is true.
    - A copy/paste error meant that we did not animate the scaleZ property in cases where we should have.
    - A problem in the transform code means that using a null transform center is not the same as a transform center which uses the transformX/Y/Z properties of the target object. We now force the creation/use of a transform center in all cases to avoid that problem.
    QE notes: This breaks about a dozen tests in the transform effects area, but I believe the new results are correct and the tests/bitmaps should be changed.

  • I just bought the latest Mac mini i5 but every time I try to transfer my files from time machine back-up of my mini mid 2011 model I always come up with some sort of problem?

    I am so fed up with using time machine to restore my files from my previous mini. I have tried several different ways and every time there is some sort of problem. I just want to restore it back to the original setting and manually reinstall my  personal software. My question is: Is it better to reinstall osx using the recovery drive or downloaded from the app store. Also if you have already reinstalled from the app store does that effect the recovery drive?

    It does not make any difference it you reinstall from recovery partition or app store since in either case the OSX install files are downloaded from Apple servers.
    What problems (error message?) are you gettng whenb trying to restore form TM?
