Hi,
Thank you for your reply, can you please explain to me how to set the speakers to 5.
Thanks

Depends on your software (no card model mentioned, no mention are you using digital/analog output signal), but in generally there is a special utility to use to select speaker system (on creative software it's called Creative Speaker Settings").
This application can be launched from Surround Mixer (speaker icon,) or using start -menu selection on program group Creative.
If you don't have this software bundled with your card (or have not installed it (yet)), then you can set speakers on Windows Control Panel's - Sound and Multimedia settings --> on Audio tab, select Advanced (button) on Sound Playback --> select speakers from droplist.

Thank you for the information.
I Understand that I have to upmix to 6.1 (I think anyway) but I dont understand how I can get the creative in my programs, I think I need to go through the mediasouce to upmix but I do not know how to get access to the mediasouce, I have gone through the creative webiste trying to figure out how to download it but to no avail. Sorry to be a pain, but can you possible give me some instructions.
Thanks

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.

Having Problem With Inspire 5.1 5300 rear speaker...

After using my inspire 5.1 5300 for few year... right now im having problem with my rear speaker... just one channel was unable to start... Anyone know about repairing for speaker ? I Have try to switch to other channel it seem that just that rear speaker was unable to start... all should be ok... week before i still hearing sound from that rear speaker... but now it was unable to start. Anyone Have Any Idea Please Tell Me. Thank You

Just to clarify, by "FCP 5 friendly source material," he means video files that are a format (codec) that FCP 5 supports. What FCP 5 supports can be found in the EASY SETUP list. If the format you are working with isn't there, say if your footage is H.264 or MP4 or some other web compressed format, FCP won't work properly. It needs to be in an editing codec if you want FCP 5 to work with it.
Also, you need to make sure that your sequence settings match the settings of the footage you are trying to edit. If you add a clip to the sequence, and immediately have to render, that's a big clue to say that something isn't right. You should edit without rendering at all.
The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu. Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured

Centre Speaker Problem with Z-5500 and X

When I have entertainment mode enabled (not sure if its the mode's problem or not) the centre speaker doesnt play alot of the music (I heard the voices are supposed to come from centre while ambience comes from the other speakers) most of the sound is coming from the other 4 speakers. Also, when the song gets real intense (or a word starting with "s" is said) the speaker starts to crackle and fizzle, and it makes me think the speaker is dieing or not able to handle that sound. However, when I enable game mode and play counterstrike or such, with the volume pretty high (about halfway for the Z-5500 is deafening) I can shoot and throw grenades and such but the centre channel (which plays alot more sound then when Im playing music) doesnt crackle or fizzle, it handles pretty much 80% of the sound) I especially hear the crackling/distortion or whatever it is when Im playing System of a Down's Chop Suey, when he says the line "self righteous suicide" it crackles and causes a fuzzy sound when he says it, and some other songs have parts of it when this happens. Just wondering why the X-Fi is causing this (i dont think its the modes problem cause I have the problem with game mode too) but it cant be the speaker as it works perfectly fine in game.

Hows it going mate. i have a very similar setup to you and have the same problem. the sound only comes out of the front and centre speakers. even the surround sound comes out of the fronts. this is because the vista drivers do not support dolby digital or dts. lol what a waste of money. there is no warnings about this when you purchase the card. i am appauled at this. It is false advertising.

Speaker problem with SoundBlaster Live! Va

Hello all,
i've installed a SoundBlaster Li've! Value in my computer and i've connect to it a speaker system Creative Inspire 6. 6700
The problem is that i can't hear sound from central and LFE channels. And worse, in the creative surround mixer i cant' switch to 5./6. but only Headphone/2speaker/4speaker!
WHY? Thanks for your help!

The reason is you have only got a 4 channel sound card....... It's not a 5. sound card. Dude it's time you upgrade man.

Problem with Aperture 2 and Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1

Has anyone using Aperture 2 experienced problems with the Digital Camera Raw Compatability update 3.1. It may be purely coincidence but, since downloading this on March 3, I get the dreaded red screen and unsupported image format on my previously downloaded and edited RAW photos. I use a Pentax k-7 with which, once set up, I have had no problems until now!
Please - any help would be very gratefully received

That probably explains why any checks that your computer did to see if the Camera Raw update was okay to apply didn't stop it. You should probably contact Apple and explain that they broke something that was working fine previously.
A few people have reported backing off Camera Raw 3.1 and going back to Camera Raw 3.0 for now. This note is one of the ones I've found describing how to do that, if you wish to try that. Or, you could head down the path Apple means to lead you on and upgrade to Aperture 3.

Problem with inspire 280 speakers

well i own creative inspire 280 speakers but im having trouble with them. First when i connect it to some devices background electric noise appears when im not playing anything, then if I connect the jack till the end, the played sound will only be mono, the only way to play it stereo is if i dont put the 3,5mm jack till the end but it still shows some background noise. How can i solve this issue?

i have a similar problem with my 280 speakers.

Problem with inspire t7900

Hi,i just bought inspire t7900 speakers and i have a big problem..
there is no sound! actually i have tried everything..there is no connection problem,i also bought
the creative sound blaster audigy which is recomended for this kind of speakers,i have checked anything about settings but nothing...i also have tried different operating systems(xp home sp2,xp proffesional sp2) but the problem remains..
if you need additional information, my pc is new very good system(intel core quad proccessor,motherboard asus p5kc) so i can't find out where is the problem!
can anyone help me plz?

Hi, I have the same problem. Actually, it was working for a while, then all of a sudden: no sound from any of the speakers! Plugging headphones into the remote works, so there doesn't seem to be a problem with the connection between computer and the system; but there's definitely something wrong with the speakers... Any ideas here? I was really enjoying them up to this point...

Problem with External 2.1 digital speakers

Anybody have any problems with external digital speakers connected to the SPDIF connection? I have a 1215-600XT, and I tried connecting my old DELL Boston Acoustic 2.1 speakers. They worked, but any time a "sound" played, a loud pop would follow the end of the sound track. If its multiuple sounds (i.e. an application that is making numerous alert sounds) I get multiple pops. It even happens at the endf of music tracks. It was so annoying, I stopped using the speakers. before I invest in another set of speakers, want to know I am not wasting my time.
Also, anyway of getting the soundcard to support digital 2.1 or other sound? The set-up screen only shows stereo for external speakers and no way of adding more.
Sincerely
Scott

pmoney,
If you need a RMA, you will need to contact Customer Support either via email or phone. Also, it may be a fault with the sub and not just the cable alone, anyway contact Customer Support and they will be able to assist further.

7700 speaker problems with control Pod

ok if anyone has speakers like this they know it comes with a little control pd that controls the volume and bass. well i think the problem is that sometimes the volume goes really high or really soft. and if you turn the volume up or down, the sound will go back to normal and you will be blasted or can't hear it. its very anoying to listen to music or game and this happens. it does this regardless of the number of speakers attached, and my drivers are up todate. i have onboard sound on a asus A8V mobo so its a newer board. some people said that the pod can get wonky, and i am checking to see if anyone has any suggestions on what i should maybe try short of RMA the speakers, its not that i don't want to RMA it but i would have to pay shipping on a set of speakers witch is kinda gay. any help would be great.. thanks

I have the same problem with my inspire 6.'s volume pod, after well under a year of flawless perfomance, the volume lowers randomly especially when I adjust the pod's volmue or just touch or move it. If I try to simply adjust for the loss of volume by cranking it up, it likes to blast me outta nowhere when it decides to work again. The only thing I can do to shortcut the 'down time' while waiting for it to adjust to normal level is to tap on the pod repeatedly usually causing the volume to adjust quicker...but I'm sure thats not the right method for fixing this irritating problem...PLEASE wont someone HELP ME?! Feel free to e-mail me @ [email protected], thanx!

Thanks a lot

Man, i'm using those standart cables offered with the product....i thing its analog, i don't know certain...
i'm very about this onboard sound...
and the worst thing, i'vc contacted creative for explanation about it and they answer me that they could'nt help, cause it's a OEM product...no response about it, have to contact MSI..
here in brazil, it's real difficult, cause anoyone cares about it...
i have absolut certain that software and hardware configuration/instalation is ok...cause i had those speakers in other PC...
i've already head tons of audio-problem topics here, and i say: K8N N4 SLI Integrated Sound is a bul...

--Static problem with inspire p5800 speaker setup--

Hi,
I have recently purchased this speaker system (refurbished) and after hooking it up, I noticed static, a permanent eerie sound that is coming out of the speakers and I dont know how to get rid of this. I have a SB Live card, don't know if it is compatible or not but I get output, its just that the static is present and very annoying. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.

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.

SB X-Fi with Inspire 5.1 Digital 5

Hello,
I've just installed my new SB-X-Fi Extreme Music.
The Problem is, it seems that my Sound System (Inspire 5700 digital) does not work properly with the Digital out.
The sound only plays on the front left and front right speakers.
In the Speaker-Installation Wizard there are only 2 options if i choose digital connection: Headphones and 2. Speakers.
Should there be an option with 5. speakers ?
Or do I have to connect it analogue? How does this works - the sound system has only front and rear input, no subwoofer or front middle input.
Thanks a lot for any help!

As posted many times again and again, the X-Fi includes a standard SPDIF-out like every other soundcard/CODEC/equipment. That means it can only carry 2 full channels. AC-3 and DTS formats actually use these 2-channels and embed the rest of the signals on these channels, that is why you need a decoder in the receiver, to reseparate the original channels.
Now for the Li've! and Audigy series, Creative introduced a custom DIN connector, which had plugs that could carry 6-channels of digital data separately without compression mechanisms. Unfortunately support for this standard was droppped by the time X-Fi was released.
In other words, your speakers are incompatible with your soundcard. You can still use them as a 4. setup for games and you can still get complete 5. sound with DVDs.
PS:? A solution would be to buy an external?DTS/AC-3 coder such as the DTS-60. This would get the analog output of the X-Fi, make it digital, compress it into DTS format and send it to your speakers as and if it were a DVD-Movie.
