I Have had a problem for ages. I have the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Inspire 5. digital 5500.
I have copied the advice I received/didnt recieve from creative.
Best of luck
Dear Martin
Thanks for your reply
I am sorry for the problem you are facing.
To achieve outputs from all the speaker during speaker test, you will need to have an analog connection, or digital DIN connection.
That will be possible if you connect the three line out jacks on your soundcard, to the three audio input (analog jacks->green,black,orange) on your speaker, if it has this connection. Or, you may connect them using Digital DIN, if they have this connection.
If you are using digital connection (coaxial, optical), there will be no way to achieve sound output from all the speakers during 5. speaker test, as they carry stereo signal.

Hi
I understand you must be busy, so no problem.
No I do not hear EAX when in Pro-logic mode. I only hear (depending on the game in question)
Half life two: front left-right and centre. NO rears
Fear: Front, left, right, & centre. No rears
Farcry Front left, right & centre. No Rears
When I run your speaker test HISSSSS, No Rears, no front left or right
Beats me?

If you select Dolby Prologic mode on the decoder, are you able to listen

Hello
Your email was helpful, unfortunately, not for my unit, you see I would
have
connected the Jack leads in by now if the inspire had Jack lead inputs
as
you describe
Please don't think I am being sarcastic, but from reading the
correspondence
below it would seem as if your department is having difficulty
understanding
my problem.
Also it would seem your department doesn't have the necessary technical
information on your very own product, so to help with your dilemma I
have
taken photos of the input/outputs on the Inspire unit.
You will clearly see the inspire has no inputs other than Coaxial and
Optic.
This leaves me back to my last post. I think the solution would be for
me to
purchase the correct processor, which would have come with the original
sound card had I not been a little tight on the money front.
I have attached a photo of the sound card with the processor, I would
love
to buy this processor but find myself unable to locate this product on
your
web site. Would you possibly be able to send me the correct link to this
item so I can buy this Processor Please?
Kind regards
Martin

Thanks for your reply
Your soundcard is Audigy 2 ZS
Your speaker is Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500
You will need to have a 3:3 cable(with the color green, black, orange)
to connect your soundcard to your speaker, to achieve the 5. effects
with games.
Below is the connection:
- Connect line out jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Front' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the green color
connection
- Connect line out 2 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Rear' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the black color
connection
- Connect line out 3 jack of Audigy 2 ZS
to 'Center/Subwoofer' of Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5500 using the
orange color connection
Once you have done the correct connection, play the game DOOM3.
Ensure you have selected either the EAX or surround option in the game
settings.
Does it work?

You have lost me. Your sound card clearly states that I can have EAX
surround decoding from the sound card I have purchased.
All of the games on your web site claim to give me an environmental
effect
that will blow my mind, hence EAX.
All I have done wrong is NOT buying your decoder that comes with the
sound
card. My mistake.
All I want to do is re-address this issue and buy the correct
decoder/processor.
Can you point me to the correct link on your web site so I can buy the
correct decoder/processor?
As for the PCM out of the above cables, this foxes me as my other
equipment
only use Optical cabling on my Lexicon processor and from that I have DD
7., DTS 7. and meridian 5. lossless.
My issue is more to do with NO EAX from the rear and centre channels
while
in-game.
Kind regards

Dear Martin
Thanks for your reply
All commercial digital connection eg. optical or coaxial cable will only
carry PCM stereo signal. If you want to output the signal to a surround
5. with extra EAX environment effects, it will not be possible at all
since it is only restricted to stereo channel signal.
As per current industry limitations, we are bound to follow the standard
one-signal output for all our SPDIF and Optical output jacks. This is
something that is currently shared by all vendors for all products.
Please note that all games are not dolby digital, even they are , it
will require certain motherboard to encode it to dolby digital signal,
which our soundcard does not support.
You can only use analog connections to gain true 5. surround for
gaming..

Hi Joong
I don't fully understand your email, but I do get the gist of what

Would you be able to tell me what product I could buy from your

Dear Martin
Thank you for the reply.
Computer games written with support for 3D audio do not require a Dolby
Digital Interacti've Content Encoder (DICE) to output multichannel sound,
with no exceptions. Sound devices that support the real time encoder
technology from Dolby will simply receive the multichannel wave file
output and encode it in real time to a somewhat modified Dolby Digital
bitstream. Creative does not support the Dolby Digital Interacti've
Content Encoder on any of its sound cards.
The only difference between a Sound Blaster card and an audio card that
has a real time encoder, is that you can make a one-wire, digital
connection from your audio card to your home theater receiver and enjoy
discrete multichannel sound from the game. However there will be a
continuous, slight delay, known as "latency", as the encoder is creating
and transmitting the bitstream, and of course the compression scheme
being used is "lossy" (i.e. not bit-accurate).
If you want to enjoy 3D audio in 3D enabled PC games in multichannel
surround sound with a Sound Blaster card, it is recommended that you
connect the analog outputs of the sound card directly to the analog
inputs of the receiver. This will require 3 cables for 5. surround
sound, one for front right and left, one for rear left and right, and
another one for front center and subwoofer. Though it requires more
cables than a real time encoder system, it will not have any latency
issues. When connecting PC audio to a home theater receiver, Creative's
latest sound cards such as Sound Blaster Audigy, Sound Blaster Audigy 2
are likely to provide higher quality audio than any Dolby Digital real
time encode system available for the PC today.

Hi
One particular game which has "in-game" DD is Farcry; I used this as my
benchmark disc for DD and to push my Nvidia 7800 GTX GPU's (I have tried
it
on friend's machines and they get the full surround effect so I Know
this
version is ok. I also have ALL of the game patches & updates.
I would like to point out that while playing Doom 3, Half Life 2,Fear,
Colin
McRae rally 04,FIFA 2004,Meddle of honour pacific assault, Rome, Shadow
ops, All these games have EAX HD, which is enabled within the options
menu
"in-game", But I do not get ANY use out of the rear's and I might as
well
listen in stereo.
No, inspire 5500 does not automatically switch while "in-game" when DD
is present as you would expect, but does if it was a Movie, which makes
me
think the DD stream isn't getting to the processor.
I originally thought I could put all this to rest if I could buy the
control
panel that would have come with the Sound card if I had not tried to
save
money, but every time I search your accessories site I get completely
lost,
it really isn't user friendly, the sub-menus are very time consuming and
point you in the wrong direction because they are not categorised as Joe
public would understand
I downloaded your TEST Movies and creative demo player utility, ran it
but
still no EAX HD or DD if that were present.
I want to put this card and Processor into my boys computer (which is
the
same Spec as mine and I will update to the FX series, but I am unwilling
if
I cannot find a logical reason why this set-up cannot work first.
Would it have anything to do with the pins on the Digital out on the
sound
card plug, the one I bought and was attached to the last email? Only
sending
certain channels down to the processor?

Your speakers are fine as you mentioned that there is sound from all the

May i know what game are you playing when there are no sound from the

Have you done the appropriate settings in the game to achieve the 5.

Is there any game patches that you will need to update?

automatically change from Pro-logic to Dolby
digital when it See's an AC-3 stream.
when I try and play ANY game you say has EAX
,2,3,4 I cannot get any sound from my rear
speakers (see above in Dolby Digital ALL speakers
work correctly)
when I enter the set-up menu within the creative
software you supply with the sound card and select
5. speaker, digital only, test the speakers via
the white noise function, all i hear is left and
right noise. no centre, no rears.
I phoned you tech support line, the boy on the
phone didn't have much of a clue about your
product and I had to tell him what connections sit
on the inspire 5. series amp/processor.
I want to build another PC for my son, I want to

willing to buy anything until i feel you have
helped me to solve this problem first.
please can you help, I am at the end of my tether

How to connect SB X-FI XTREME MUSIC with Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5

Hi,
I want to know what I have to do to connect my x-fi xtreme music with my creative inspire 5. digital 5700 due to listen music with all? 5 twiters. I have windows vista ultimate 32bits. Thanks!?JoanMessage Edited by joanantoni on 07-9-200703:54 AM

With your Inspire 5. Digital 5700, your best bet is?using the analog Front and Rear input connections on the decoder and connect them to the X-Fi Xtreme Music front (Line Out )?and rear (Line?Out 2)?output connections and then enable CMSS Music or CMSS Movie Mode on your Digital 5700 decoder which will then give you a 4./5. Upmix. Gi'ven that you don't have a Center connection on the the Inspire 5. Digital 5700, no connection can made to the your Front Center satelite speaker/Subwoofer (Line Out 3) on your X-Fi Xtreme Music card. I'm led to understand that Creative speaker systems do not need Bass Redirection to reproduce proper Bass frequencies on your Subwoofer and not on your satelite speakers but you may want to test this simply enabling and disabling Bass Redirection, on your X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card, to your own personal taste. Alternately, you can concurrently connect your Inspire 5. Digital 5700 via the Coxial Digital/PCM Input to the FlexiJack input/output jack on the X-Fi Xtreme Music and then enable Digital I/O mode for the FlexiJack in the Audio Console found in the Windows Control Panel or?in the Entertainment Mode or Game Mode Consoles. Unfortunately the FlexiJack only provides a 2 conductor connection therefore it only supports 2. Speaker system connections?therefore you will still have to enable the CMSS Music or CMSS Movie Modes on your Inspire 5. Digital 5700 decoder to produce a 4./5. sound upmix. Sadly, no optical connection can be made between your Inspire 5. Digital 5700 and your X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card without the installation of the X-Fi I/O Dri've or X-Fi I/O Console at, of course, additional expense. From my standpoint, the X-Fi I/O Dri've is a good value given the number of external inputs and outputs in offers. Again, it's a matter of what your personal connection requirements are and budget. Hope this hel

5.1 sound in games with Creative Digital-Speakers and Audigy 2

Hi!
I know that you can't have real 5. sound (only upmix) in games with Creative Digital-Speakers. Is it possible to connect, without the decoder box, the soundcard with the subwoofer (Line-Out -3)? I want to make the cable for LIN_OUT 3 by myself, but which of the 4 pins are for the subwoofer, center front or center rear (ground is clear)?

Go to Knowledge Base article SID3069 then expand the "7. Soundblaster Cards".
It is possible to have 5. digital sound in games if your Creative speaker system has a digital DIN connection.

How to get Realtek HD Audio to work with Creative Inspire 5.1 5200?

Hi,
I have a problem with correctly setting the Realtek HD Audio with my Creative Inspire 5200 5.1 speaker set. I don't get any sound on all of them when test button is clicked, only surround speakers work. They were working on my old PC. I did a search on this forum and Internet, but could not find any solution to this specific problem.
Setting:
* MSI drivers: 6.0.1.6267, directx 11, ALC 892
* Speakers set to default audio device
* Plugged in 3 jacks, colors matching (3 in a row - black:rear, orange: center/subwoofer, green:side speakers)
* On Realtek HD Audio Manager: Speaker configuration: 5.1 Speaker; Optional spakers: center, subwoofer, rear pair checked; full range speakers: front left and right and surround speakers checked; speaker fill/swap/bass management disabled.
What I get:
* left surround clicked: OK
* right surround clicked: OK
* No sound from others
Tests:
* Checked not muted
* Checked volume control, not set to zero
* Rechecked cables from MB to Creative Subwoofer
* Rechecked cables from Creative Subwoofer to speakers
* Checked other spaker configuration settings:
- Stereo : no sound
- Quadro: only surround spakers OK
- 7.1: surround spakers OK + left 2nd surround sound comes from right front speaker
Any directions are very much appreciated
Cheers

Quote from: syncman on 30-October-10, 03:10:54
I get something very similar with my Logitech 5.1 setup. However, I'm using a Creative Pro sound card. Some reminders for you. Remember that everyday normal sound is not encoded DD 5.1, i.e. Windows prompts, MP3, etc. 2 channel left and right stereo sound only nets 2 speakers even though you have 5.1. Unless you've set the sound card, or speaker controler to convert normal 2 channel left and right stereo to DD 5.1 you will only hear 2 speakers. It takes software that's dolby digital encoded to bring all 5.1 speakers to life. For example for every day computer sound my logitch speaker controller is set to "stereo x 2.1". With this setting the contoller sends 2 channel stereo to the front 2 speakers as well as rear 2 speakers plus the sub woofer. My center channel stays quiet until I change the controller effect to DD 5.1. I would change the speaker controller to DD 5.1 if I were to watch a DD 5.1 encoded DVD movie, or play a DD 5.1 encoded game. Keep in mind unless the software is encoded DD 5.1 anything you hear through all 5.1 speakers is SIMULATED! IMO the stereo x 2.1 sounds MUCH better than simulated DD 5.1.
Thank you for your answer, but I couldn't go so far yet I know some about sound and sound setups as I'm working in this area, namely video editing, sound processing, montage etc.
The problem is at "test button" level, somehow the mobo cannot drive the correct lines :(

Probelm with Creative Inspire T6100

Hello everyone, I'll really appreciate it if someone could help here. Just bought a new PC with sound card on board.Motherboard is: GB P35-DS3 /P35/LGA775The sound card is Realtek High Definition Audio. Along wiht the PC I got a 5.1 channel speaker system - Creative Inspire T1600. I installed the latest drivers for the sound card, also made sure the speaker system is plugged into the sound card slots as per the user guide and yet there is no sound coming out at all from the speakers. I also tried plugging out the speaker system and plugging in a normal pair of headphones, still no sound?.... I have re-installed the sound drivers a few times and there is no indication the issue is with the driver. Please help. Thanks a lot

Hey, thanks for your reply but I've figured it out. It was a problem with the sound card driver... It works now and it's great!

Have you tried adjusting the levels for the center down and the other speakers up? On the main volume knob press the select button and it will select a specific speaker set to adjust the volume for. Try changing these settings and see if that helps.

Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 - X-Fi Fatal1ty - Registering my HUGE Disappointm

Hugely disappointed that 5. in games in not possible with the above combination..

I've read all the posts and all the reasonings, on the forums...
So we can get Stereo CMSS (5. channels)... 5. for AC3 (be it a dvd or other files with ac3)
But no 5. in games!
I can't write the words I'd like to post, but pretty darn beep beep de beep beep.

You are right! you have only 4.
I own a Audigy 2 ZS mine have 6 & have the same speakes you own.
You'll have to use Analog Output for speakers to be able to plug your mic.

Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 center speaker problem

I have a SB Audigy sound card, here is my problem when i run the speaker test they all work and when i put effect on CMSS Movie or CMSS Music all the speakers work but when i put in Fourpoint 5. Din and run lets say EAX Goldmine, lisen to music or play a game i dont get sound from the Center speaker. All the other work just fine and sound come from the right direction exept if there is sound in front of me i cant hear it, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The Fourpoint/5. DIN mode acts as a bypass mode for discrete multichannel Digital DIN and 4 channel Analog signals from various sources and passes these signals direct to each speaker output. Therefore when playing back non Dolby Digital 5. (AC3) signals such as Stereo, you will only get Stereo (Left & Right channel) signals without the center signal.
You should be able to get the center channel when you playback Dolby Digital 5. (AC3) sources.

Anarchy Online - game stucks with Creative-Ca

I bought a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music a while ago, and while everything runs fine, there's one game that is hell to play when you turn the sound on: Anarchy Online (www.anarchy-online.com).
While i am not the only person with this issue, the official tech-forums of the game are crowd with reports of issues on the game with Creative X-Fi and Audigy cards; latest drivers help nothing at all.
The game and music runs fine, but every few seconds it gets stuck for a few seconds completly, both game and sound.

Creative Inspire 5.1 5700 + X-Fi Plati

Dear Sirs,
I have one problem with my acoustics system and new sound card:
A little prehistory:
. I had sound card (and i still have it, only it's lie on the shelf ) Creative Life 5.
2. I used and still use acoustic system: Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5700
3. Acoustic has connected corrected and worked without problems with Life 5.
I have bought new sound card Creative X-Fi Platinum, tested it with music seems that all works fine, i like it, really exciting things, better sound them was and so on..
But when i started to test 5. with tests and games in Games Mode and so on, it does not work, because seems that all channels works in one, so when i was testing it and voice tell in left front channel it's sounds in other channels as well.
Acoustic was connect by digital and coaxial.
Maybe someone can help me please, maybe i should turn on something in the drivers?

Hello!
Thanks a lot for the answer. Now i improved my knowledge, because i already was in despair.
. I have connected my acoustic system and sound card via Analog cable and works only 4 channels: Front L/R and Rear L/R, without Front Center and Sub - as i understood it's correct, right?
