Tactic 3d sigma left speaker just stopped working within a 24 hour period

so as title says yesterday morning i woke up and the left speaker was a little dodgy it was turning on and off anf you had tap the left speaker cup to get it to start putting out sound and make sure you didnt lay back in chair or anything to disturb it then this morning its completely dead nothing will get sound.
this is the second of this type of headset in the last 4 months and the first one died from same problem after no more than 3 months and this ones been less than 2 months till pretty much useless any ideas might help even if its just saying worst luck in defecti've product ever
edit just checked bank statements i've have this new headset since june 28 so in two and a half weeks the left speaker stopped
edited once more i checked further back the first headset laster from may 27 to just before june 28 i've never had aproblem with creative products before but i dont think ill be buying another one of these models they apperently defecti've in some way

Hello..if it's any consolation which i'm sure it's not...My earcup was faulty out of the box..i.e turned round and round.
If you check the G35 and platro¤¤ 777 you will find similar QA problems.
Don't know if the problem are related to different batches but it seems that there is a lot to be desired in some companies manufacture and QA departments.
Just hope these companies realise what damage is being done to thier reputation and maybe remember the old saying
"if it cheap (presumably manufacturing costs) then there is something fishy about it." ( assuming they're getting third-party companies to manufacture a lot of these)
this is 00 % pure conjecture on my part and the percentages of faults may be very small in real terms compared to the number of units sold?
But if users are to be believed and such stories similar to -,these are 2 or (8) months old and I picked them up today and the left earcup fell off...don't fill one with confidence. From what I can gather most internet shops/manufacturers have been ok at replacing headsets..it's just the inconvience of having to send them in(may or may not be reimbursed for shipping costs) and be without a headset for a while especillay when they are DOA..GREAT BOUGHT NEW PRODUCT ..DOA BUT as a customer I have to wait two weeks to get a replacement....NOT GOOD BUSINESS
in my case the company I bought them from (SIGMA's) did have a replacement in stock though they stated that they had some on order but didn't have a confirmed deli'very date from creative...so i got my money back but missed an offer on another headset . Now I don't have any headset :-(
The long and short of it seems that QA seems to be a problem at the moment in MY view...you might buy from another manufacturer and get a faulty headset?
I am thinking of just getting some Audio (music) phones and maybe a soundcard..
Best of luck getting an exchanged working pair or your money back.

  • TS1630 I was in the middle of a call on speakerphone when the speaker just stopped working.  Could the spear on my 1 month old iPhone 5 have blown?

    I got my IPhone 5 in April.  Today, while on a speakerphone call, the speaker just stopped working.  The support on Apple said if their troubleshooting didn't work (which it did not), to reset the phone.  I am really not interested in doing that.  So.....any other ideas besides what was already explained in the troubleshooting section?

    the first thing to try is a reset
    Hold both the home and the on/off button till you see the apple logo. Release the buttons and let it reset

  • My iPhone 5 speaker just stopped working.

    I can listen to music through headphones, can hear phone call but once I put it on speaker it wont work. It does not have water damamge and it was working just fine when I was watching a video the speaker crackled and now I cant hear any notifications, alarms, ringer, just basically nothing.

    And how does your issue help OP..O wait it doesn't help either. His issue is that he cannot hear through his speaker. His sound works perfectly, but once he listens to music without heaphones, or puts the phone on speaker, there is no sound.

  • Internal speaker just stopped working

    Hello,
    after ot stoped working, I went to System Prefs, Sound.  internal speaker is no longer an output option.  oh boy.

    See if this helps,
    Open Activity Monitor (in Utilities)
    Select "All Processes" from the drop-down list at the top
    Click on the process called "coreaudiod"
    Click on "Quit Process"
    Click "Force Quit"
    It will go away and come back again, and the sound should start working.  No need to reboot.

  • My 13" macbook just stopped working. When you turn it on you get a white screen and hear a repetitive clicking sound on the left side. Is this the hard drive? Any suggestions on replacement drives?

    My 13" macbook just stopped working. When you turn it on you get a white screen and hear a repetitive clicking sound on the left side. Is this the hard drive? Any suggestions on replacement drives?
    Thanks

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • IPad (1st gen.)  headphone jack just stopped working, Internal speaker works fine

    iPad (1st gen.)  headphone jack just stopped working, Internal speaker works fine

    If the headphones work in another device, then the headphones are OK.
    If different headphones work in the iPad, then the iPad is OK. If not, check the headphone socket for fluff ot other debris. If you see nothing, try repeated plugging and unplugging several times.
    Resetting the ipad may do the trick as well.

  • T510 - internal speakers just stopped working

    I have a T510 using the Contexant 20585 SmartAudio HD driver for the internal speakers. Today they just stopped working. I run the tests and I get no sound left or right. Now I did notice something odd. I open Control Panel and then I click SmartAudio. I then click the third icon from the left at the bottom of the screen (Audio Director). Now on the right hand panel of the screen I see a large, red 'X' beside the laptop. That would be between the laptop and the headphones.... anybody know what that is? (Would it appear to signify that something is amiss with the speaker?)
    Anyway, I've uninstalled, installed the latest drivers (May 2010). Still nothing... any ideas?

    I can merely offer a suggestion, reset the iPad.
    Press Home + sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the white Apple logo appears.

  • The audio out (headphone jack) stereo just stopped working.

    The audio out (headphone jack) stereo just stopped working. On all my head phones (which work fine on other devices), macbbok pro sound is only coming through the left speaker. Anything I can do about this, aside just bringing it in to the shop? btw: audio output is set to middle.

    Before taking to the shop, try Reset PRAM.
    Some sound settings are stored in PRAM.

  • CS6 just stopped working last night.

    PS CS6 Extended  just stopped working over night and so has my version of CS5.1. I have a trial of CS6 Master Suite going and they are all dead too, and no the trial isn't over.I don't even get a flash screen.  Actually I got bridge to open and it asked me to install ACR6.7??? I have  LR 3&4, Element/Premiere 10 and they are fine. I have wiped my MAC twice with the CS cleaner and have spent the entire day on chat help and the phone. Nothing is working, any ideas?
    Oh and NONE of them will recognise my camera, it's just plain bizarre

  • Left ear piece stopped working w/my iPod mini

    Just like the subject line says, the left ear piece stopped working with my iPod mini after using a regular pair of black headphones for a couple weeks. Gee, this must mean your headphones were garbage? Well I purchased a pair of $5 ear phones that didn't work well at all with my iPod. Gee, I keep buying cheap ear phones. How about purchasing the authentic Apple ear buds? Well that's exactly what I did 3 weeks ago. After purchasing the ear buds for $30 that were made by Apple with the assumption it must work just fine, I tested them and found out they didn't work, however I plugged them into other devices and it worked just fine. I exchanged the pair and same problem.
    So yeah, something is effed up with my iPod where it won't play any audio in the left ear bud, however when I plug my ear phones or headphones into the slot on the iPod about half way in then I can hear the music just fine on both sides.
    What do I do? Am I stuck with Apple's problem with their product for good? Can they do something about this problem? Is there any steps I can follow to open the 'pod and fix it myself?

    This has helped people hearing warbled sound through their earbuds. Maybe it could help you, too?
    "Hello everybody,
    I have found a solution for my problem, I hope it can help you guys too. I found this following link to get my ipod open:
    http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/30180
    When I opened it I discovered that the connection to the little print (?) where you plug in your headphones was loose (it is a piece with both the headphone plug and the hold function). So I simply reconnected it, and voila, my ipod was fixed! Good luck!"
    "I had the same problem and fixed it by following the procedures to opening the mini to replace the battery. Then you will see the CB that the headphones plugs into. This CB (circuit board) plugs into the main ( mother board )
    Mine had worked it's way partly out. I pushed this plug back on securely and the headphones now work. Hope this helps. You can find the instructions for changing the battery by googling changing the battery on a mini IPOD."

  • My right speaker suddenly stopped working

    My right speaker suddenly stopped working. Does anybody know what could have happened or how I can fix it? Thanks!

    Just to make certain that it's not an OS setting, check in your System Preferences>Sound and make sure that your balance is set in the middle:
    If it is, and you're still having problems, you could also try resetting the SMC and the PRAM/NVRAM. If that doesn't help, it's likely a hardware problem that will have to be addressed by a trip to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • HT1551 My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times

    My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?

    Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

  • Classic just stopped working?!

    Hey guys, i mainly only use os 9 classic for my canon scanner & recently classic has just stopped working. whenever i try to start it, it just sits there in the loading screen, ive left it for a long time & nada. also the other ***** is that canon hasnt made any os x software for this particular scanner, just drivers. ive tried reinstalling that driver & of course hasnt made a difference
    any ideas of what to do? is there a way of reinstalling classic? would that solve it?
    thanks ahead of time
    dale-

    thanks again charles. i tried to repair the disk, but
    everytime i would verify the disk it would find a
    problem (it wouldnt tell me what), but it wouldnt
    allow me to repair, it was fogged. i tried restarting
    with the install disk & still couldnt find anything.
    This sounds as though you have a serious directory problem. If you don't have Disk Warrior, or if DW can't fix the problem, then I'd back everything up. If necessary, buy an external hard drive and get hold of Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. Either CCC or SD! will make a complete backup of your system to another volume.
    Once you've made the backup, reformat the original volume and restore the backup to it.
    so i checked on the apple help site for fixing
    classic & all i did to fix classic was reselecting
    the system i wanted to start up my computer in the
    startup disk menu in system pref. now it works,
    messed up.
    'Messed up', how?
    also i ended up calling apple on getting my computer
    to repair my disc & the woman on there told me that
    software isnt included in the one year warranty, ***?
    Apple has never included software in their one year warranty.
    how is hardware which costs money to replace is
    covered, but software isnt? it doesnt cost anything &
    they should be just as resposible for software as
    they are hardware. sorry for the little rant, its
    just crazyness
    No-body warrants software.
    so thanks again charles
    no problem.

  • Photoshop Elements 5 just stopped working and will not open my catalogue.

    I have Photoshop Elements 5 running on Vista 64 bit.  It was working fine, but just stopped working out of the clear blue outside of regular Microsoft patches.
    The intro screen opens but when I click on Organize my photos it starts to open the next window but just sits there trying to open my catalogue file of pictures.  I've left it there trying to fully open for hours and nothing progresses beyond that point.  Any suggestions?

    Please re-post your question in the correct forum.
