My Creative speakers are not working

The plug going into the PC is a stereo plug - it has a section for right, left and ground (return). If it's not plugged in all the way or the mating connector is faulty, you will have the symptom you describe.

I do also get this same issue, They were working just fine, and 4 or 5 months ago, the right speaker crackles, if i unplug the right speaker all is fine. But as soon as I plug the right speaker in, i get a cracking sound. Have you solved this ussue?

if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it
click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to sound,video and game controllers you might see a yellow question mark? Right click to reinstall drivers or uninstall
click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers make sure you have selected the
(((appropriate speakers))) also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settings there
also
click start control panel sounds and audio devices select advanced there might be a tick in the mute box untick it
click start control panel sounds and audio devices you can adjust the volume there also select speaker volume you can change your settings there you can also tick in the box place icon in taskbar
if his does not fix the problem

click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select the appropriate speakers from the drop down list or navigate to the device manager scroll to system devices + to expand,system speaker right click properties then select use this device (enable) also you might check
the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good
try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer
hope this helps if you dont have the drivers

This may sound obvious, but have you plugged in all the plugs?a 4-channel sound system has two plugs that plug into the sound card.One is for the front speakers and part of the subwoofer, the other is the rear speakers and the other part of the subwoofer. AC97 audio normally supports only 2-channel.s your sound on-board?how many sockets does it have.A common AC97 normally has a green plug (for 2.1 speakers), a blue one for line in and a red one for a mic.A four-channel one will have a black socket for the other two speakers.and 5.1 has a yellow socket for the 5th speaker and woofer.
If your AC97 audio does not have the black socket, then you will need to buy a special card, like the Sound blaster 4.1 Digital (around £20-30).Or, if you want a 5.1 card, the Creative Audigy is considered the best, as the Audigy 2 is still expensive, and there are cheaper cards for 4.1.
Hopefully this should sort out the problem.I also have Creative Inspire M4500 4.1 speakers, and they have 2 plugs.

if there's buzzing coming out, there's probably a rip in the actual speakers. Something is torn on the inside thus the weird buzzing noise.

Unless it was a zzzzzzzzz...... noise then there's probably some sort of interference. Possibly cellphone close by, or some other magnetic thing to create that annoying sound.

Do other speakers (that you know to work) perform correctly when you plug them in?

Let me know.

Turn the volume on the right speaker up?

I am facing the same problem with my creative T 6100 speakers...Please post if any solution found.....Thanks

Look at the plug.... is it metal then a little band and then the tip or is it metal a band then metal and then the tip.

Hi,

My connection dropped for a second and lost you on the live session. Thereafter I keep on getting errors.

In any case, have you tried:
1. disabling the built-in sound in your CMOS/BIOS?
2. Verify that your Creative drivers are all installed correctly with no red or yellow marks in your Device Manager under Sound, video and game controllers;
3. Are all the connectors/plugs wired to the right jacks. Iknow the sub operates wirelessly but all others are still wired.

Post back pls how things are so we can figure other things out.

Good luck and kind regards.
