  • Creative Audigy 2 ZS Firewire, and Multiple Speaker Questi

    Hi I currently own a Audigy 2 ZS. I understand that it has a Firewire port on the back. I have a Firewire port on my case. If i wanted to plug the Firewire on the front of my case into the Audigy, how would I go about doing that? Is it possible? I also have Headphone and Microphone Jacks on the front of my case, can I enable those also? What will I need to disable to get both of these?
    Also, how many different speakers can i have connected to the sound card at once without purchasing an adapter. I have one Digital Set, One Flat Panel Set, One Desktop Speaker Set, and One Headphone with Microphone. THe Headphone with Mic always needs to be plugged in, along with the Digital Set. Do I have room for the flat panel and the Desktop Speakers? Or should I buy a stereo splitter from Radio Shack? Thanks for your help.

    D3vL,
    Yes that's normal for stereo stuff since they only have 2 channel without CMSS. It's just that Li've and Audigy 2 ZS is built a little differently.
    With CMSS2, the sound effect on center and rear speaker maybe a little soft but you should have sound output also. Try adjusting the Stereo Focus slider and see if it makes any different. Since you are using the soundcard upmix feature, turn off the upmix feature(LED off) of the S750 on the control pod.

  • Hiss, hissing sound in speaker sets like the MegaWorks 550

    Over the years, I noticed that my MegaWorks 550 started hissing more and more. For anyone interested, i want to share my quest to find the cause.
    First of all, i looked on this forums. There were several useful posts.

    Based on these, I mailed customer service for some more information. Their mails were annoyingly useless. On top of that, they actually removed above mentioned posts from their forums! Here's a small summary of the mail conversation with customer support. It's so stupid, that it's actually fun to read:
    ME:
    Dear Creative, [...] my MegaWorks 550 [...] has a clearly audible hiss. [...] This hiss is also present when no inputs are connected and independent of volume level. The level of hiss is equal on all five sattelite speaker connections, even when objectively measured with an oscilloscope. [...] I know the MegaWorks 550 is farbeyond the warranty, but i am a trained technician and capable of replacing any part. Could you please give a hint as to what causes this hiss? Kind regards [...]
    CREATIVE:
    [...] To reduce static or buzzing noise from speakers, avoid placing speaker cables next to computer monitors, TV, an AC adapter, or any chargers for MP3 players or cell phones, etc. These devices have a strong field, which may interfere with speakers.
    Hissing Sound http://support.creative.com/kb/showa...aspx?sid=64810 [...]
    (duh, i already mentioned that it is independent of any inputs and also present with nothing connected)
    ME:
    [...]Dear Creative, Thank you for your answer. I read the support solution you pointed to, and i also read about eight different threads about this on your forum, suggesting several causes. I've tested the 550 in an electromagnetic Farady cage and with no inputs attached. The hiss remains constant on each of the five outputs and independent of the volume level.
    It must be a problem in the electrical circuit. Since this is a very prevalent problem, I hope there's a technician at Creative who know the cause. It would be great if they could explain which capacitors or connections typically need to be replaced or resoldered to remove the hiss.
    I'm, of course, very aware that the warranty of the 550 is expired, i would just really appreciate some hints on how to fix it myself. It would be friendly to the environment, to my wallet and to your reputation! [...]

    ME:
    Dear Creative,
    I would expect a €450,- speaker set like the Megaworks 550 to last longer than the three years it did before it started hissing. However, it's beyond the warranty period, so i'm not asking for any official warranty. But surely the least Creative could do, is help me fix it myself.
    I just need to know which capacitors to replace to fix it, probably somewhere in the power supply. I know that a lot of sets were sent back because of the issue, so surely there is a technician from Creative that can pinpoint the cause. PLEASE!
    CREATIVE:
    Thank you for getting back to us.
    I'm really sorry but currently we don't provide any out of warranty repairment services.
    We're unable to help you in this situation.
    If you still require assistance, please reply to this email and include any previous correspondence to ensure a quick response.
    ME:
    Dear Creative,
    I'm not asking for a repair service. I want to fix it myself. I know that a lot of people sent their Megaworks 550 back because of this issue, so there are people within creative who know what causes it. Please, I just need to know which capacitor to replace. I wont contact you after that, even if the repair goes wrong or anything.

    We apologize if this is not accommodating your need and your cooperation in this regard is appreciated.
    So... i opened the case and did some more experiments. I used a variable voltage. The hiss was indeed dependent on the voltage. Since it was not dependent on inputs or volume level and present on all five speaker outputs, i came to the following
    CONCLUSIONS:
    - the hiss is most likely caused by the final stage of the power supply unit
    - specifically: decay of one or more of the 10 capacitors in there
    - this is caused by creative using capacitors of a barely sufficient capacity (too cheap). Once they decay the become insufficient.
    - communicating with the customer service is a fun, but not very rational process
    Perhaps i'll replace the capacitors. If i do, i might share pictures and keep you updated. Please respond if there's anyone out there who would appreciate that.

  • Want to use Apple TV to serve existing 4 room wired speaker installation

    I purchased a home with existing 4 room speaker system.  All wires terminate in basement where previous owner had some type of media control center.  Each speaker zone has control for volume in the various rooms.
    My goal is to reconnect the speakers and use my Apple TV (previous generation) as my music source.  I want to keep this as simple and cheap as possible.
    I am assuming I will need an Amp/receiver and a multi-speaker splitter to plug all the speaker wires into.  I know I can use the Apple Remote app on my IPhone to control it remotely.
    What I would like to hear about from the community is
    1. opinions on this set up.  Is there an easier or simpler way to drive and control the speaker?
    2. if this arrangment makes sense, has anyone done this and what equipment works best?
    Thanks

    If you have zoned volume control (ie control for each room) your simplest set up would be to join all four sets of speaker cables into a single output from an amp/receiver, you would need to turn the volume to zero in rooms where you didn't want audio but you will need to judge for yourself whether that is convenient for you or not.
    Your other option is to use an amp with at least 4 separately controlled outputs or a multiplexer, this would be controlled from one central point and so would allow you to turn rooms off without actually visiting them.

  • HT2534 I am from the U.S, now currently in the Czech Republic. Just bought an iphone with vodafone. I can't get past the account setting on itunes, etc...either way, How do I get ENGLISH SPEAKING HELP instead of being redirected to the Czech Language stor

    I am somewhat new to apple products. I am from the U.S. and currently studying in the Czech Republic.
    I have an itouch with an apple ID, but lately I can't get it to charge or work. After pluggin the usb recharge cable to the computer at my universities facility, it gives a black page with a picture of the cable and the arrow pointing to itunes logo. The school's computer labs don't have i tunes or anything like that.
    I also just got an iphone 4S and have been trying to set up and i can't seem to complete the process for the itunes so i can install the apps i had in the itouch and also to get new apps. It stops me and says to contact the itunes for support right after the input of address and phone number information, etc...
    The purchase was made in the czech republic from a vodafone store, but if i remember right i configured it to US settings so I don't have to deal so much with everything showing up in Czech.
    I tried getting help by going to the support, but after putting in my  name, email, phone number for scheduling a call with them it rejects the phone number because i am putting in my czech phone number. Putting in my previous US number would be useless because I am not in the US and that number is probably inactive.
    I would to get some English speaking support while being here in the czech republic.
    Any advice?
    -peteMD-

    If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely. Remember

  • Headphones no longer work after being plugged into speaker

    Hi i purchased a ipod touch 5th generation 32 gb bundle from target just over a week ago which came with the iCoustic 20 in 1 Accessory kit Model No : IC184. After plugging the ipod into the supplied speaker this morning trying to listen to music it kept making stacic like noises and changing volume it was alwful to try and listen so gave up and went back to taking it off speaker and playing it back through apple headphones but now after being plugged into the speaker the headphones wont work its just a buzzing sound if you turn the volume up all the way loud the music will come back through headphones then when turning it down it cuts out again or if you manage to get the music it will stop after a couple of seconds. I have done a factory reset but it has made no difference.Please help have a very upset daughter it is frustrating do we take this back for a refund and get a new one if so how do we keep the music and photos etc she has on this one? Thankyou.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • I have a 2005 Jaguar xj8.  When I tried to upgrade my 3gs to a 4g I got a ticking noise in the speaker and no one on the other end could hear me.  I had to go back to a 3gs.  My phone is shot and I need to upgrade.  Has there been a fix to the problem?

  • TS3406 I am unable to hear caller on my Iphone 6 unless it is on speaker. any ideas on correcting the issue

    When making a call I cannot hear the other party unless I have my speaker on. Any idea on how to get phone to work without using the speaker to take private calls.

    Hello sirwin1999,
    For issues of not being able to hear from the receiver on your iPhone 6, then check out the article below. It will have you check the connections making sure that Bluetooth is not on as well as clearing out anything near the receiver itself.

  • I am unable to hear anything on my iphone unless I have it on speaker.

    I am unable to hear my iphone at all unless I have the speaker on.  Has anyone experienced this before?  How did you resolve it?

    Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
    If it does, there might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there.
    You can try getting it out by connecting the headphones 5-10x or spraying compressed air into the jack.
    If it doesn't say headphones or there isn't anything in there, try restarting or restoring the iPhone.

  • Which speaker to use.?...( websites provided...)

    Any good suggestions for a speaker??
    The MACBOOK speakers suck.!!!.., and I'm not even an audiophile
    I'm really liking this one, but i'm still looking~~
    Logitech Z-10
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2173,CONTENTID=122 63
    p.s., how are the harmon kardon stix?...or the JBL creature 2's..??

    The MACBOOK speakers suck.!!!...
    What do you expect from notebook speakers?? I've never heard music from standard notebook speaker that sounded remotely as great as with external speakers. This isn't Apple's fault or any other notebook manufacturer's. It's just the nature of the beast.
    Did I miss something in the system requirements for the linked speakers you mentioned? I don't see that they're compatible with OS X and Macintosh.
    Your best bet for finding speakers is not to post on this forum looking for the opinions of others, who may hear things differently than you do. I believe it best to go to a store (maybe an Apple store?) and give a bunch of speakers a listen.
    That said, I think the JBL creatures sound great to my ears.

  • My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?
