Creative Labs Gigaworks S750 Computer Speakers - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

If you check the Creative forums there is a thread there where a few people have started to fix problems like this permanently and they have helped quite a few people fix their problems. I would only suggest checking it out if you have any electronics experience (soldering, and basic troubleshooting minimum). Otherwise I would send it back but keep in mind that this is one of a few common problems with the S750's and you are likely to have other problems in the future unless you take measures to fix the problem that creative has not.

I would also like to point out that your problem would be a short on one of the amp boards after the power regulators, very likely one of the STA575 amplifier ICs. Those are not easy to find but it is possible to find replacements.

I don't know what your skills are, But if it is a cable with two separated wires, that was connected with a 3,5 mm phone plug not that many can go wrong, as long as you put bot wires to a separate connection point of the plug. Be aware one of the wires is supposed the plus the other minus or common. If you revers this, it could change the case in the speaker, but perhaps you won't hear that. On the one of the wired often is a white spot or line that can be seen over the complete length. That is how you can see the difference between + and - If in the cable are a lot of wires, perhaps you should not start at all. Don't make a shortage, to avoid you blowing up the amplifier. Success

What is cantrol?

take those speakers to an electric shop and ask him for some special sockets.....

Hi, have you find any solution? I got the same problem. Can you please email me. [email protected]. Thank you

To make these your default speakers, you will need to do the following 1. Find the volume control icon on the bottom right portion of your screen 2. Right click the icon 3. Select change default 4. Cycle through the options until you see the logitech speakers as an option 5. Select this new option 6. If you still do not see the logitech speakers then you need to reinstall them with the provided software. If you do not have software, download it for free from logitech.com

install your advice you might conect it to an mixer from ther to your advice and from there to your speakers

Stupid question: does the sound still work? it could be the LED just died after continual use (rare, since they last a long time, but not uncommon). If not... it could be the controlling circuit board died. In which case, unless you have electronics repair experience, it would be probably more worthwhile to just replace the speakers, as pricey a model as it is.

I had an extra one but I sold it. According to creative labs they do not sell any replacement parts for the speaker systems. The best suggestion that I can give is to check craigslist and ebay for the control pods.

based on my understanding on electronics. maybe the 3 speakers your talking about doesnt resoponds to the frequencies on the music you are playing because a 7.1 souround speakers, each speakers are designed to respond at a certain frequecies.

So try playing movies instead of music and try lowering or not connecting the rest of the speakers and listen closely to the 3 speakers your talking about if you hear any sounds at all...

 

hope it help...

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. According to creative labs they do not sell any replacement parts for the speaker systems. You can see about getting a new control pod from ebay or craigslist but the problem is more likely inside the subwoofer. Below I have pasted a link to a forum thread about fixing the Gigaworks S750 systems. There is not much information there about control pod problems but at least the people on the thread will help as much as they can. If you are not familiar with electronics then some of the people on the forum thread can help if you are willing to ship the subwoofer box to them.

Creative s750 Repair

Thanks

my creative A300 speaker wire from woofer to one of the speaker is cut by mice so how can i join it so that it works fine .

I did fix this problem and the whole bunch of other ones with the s750 system.

"light is flickering" is a very common! It shows that there is a problem with STANDBY power supply:

1) Yellow glue became conductive (needs to be completely removed)
2) Capacitor malfunctioning C61 (68uF 450)

3) mine had TH1 cracked (replaced from PC power supply) and D9 diode.

If this successfully fixed, you will be able to get 2nd stage power supply on (Relay or power on button)

If you will have problems there, there is a whole bunch of test needs to be done (capacitors, IRF740 etc.)

It cannot replace, you have to purchase another one.

are u willing to sell ur faulty sub wooder unit. please email me at [email protected]

Hello

It looks like you have posted this before. Unfortunately, I don't know what you have tried so I may be repeating some of your earlier troubleshooting.

The subwoofer needs its own power supply to function properly. if it isn't getting enough power, the sub will not work at all.

On the back of the unit, you should see a green LED when the power is turned on. Is this light on all of the time of does it fade / flicker? This would indicate the power supply is going bad and you need to replace it.
