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.

Gigaworks S750 Speaker System. Do you need the audio pod for the sub and surround speakers to work? Can they work with volume control from the PC?

It is a fully integrated system that is powered from the sub which contains the power board, the amplifier and heat sink, plus the processor. you could run one speaker using the onboard sound card.

The link shows the inner workings.

I have a Gigaworks 750, the Audio Pod is not working, however, there is power going to the subwoofer though the power light is flickering. Hope you can help me in solving the problem. Thanks

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.)

All I need is the control pod for the Gigaworks S750

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.

Creative S750,all speakers distorted

Your problem sounds like it is the high voltage power supply not working. I would start by checking the IRF740 MOSFETs on the power supply board. Below I have pasted a link to a forum thread about fixing the Gigaworks S750 systems. There is a lot of information there about the problem you are experiencing as well as complete diagrams of the power supply and good pictures.

Sub has died overnight

Change the fuse - located at the 220V input. Use a knife ti release it. Then the system will work again.

Audio control pod

I have a similar issue too, but my problem is that the sub has green light, and my control pod has an 'off' light, but it won't turn on :(

Control pod

Double check the connections, if the connection for the control pod is good then something is wrong inside. I would say most likely thing would be a problem on the power supply inside the subwoofer box.
