No sound when connecting the DDTS-100 Ext. decoder to the S750

I connect the DDTS-100 to the Gigaworks sub with the supplied 3pin/4pin cable, but there is no sound to be heard. All the LED's on the DDTS indicates that everything is OK. When using the remote(or the pushbuttons on the box) all indications are OK. It seems that the amplifier section in the S750 simply isn't triggered.
If I connect the S750's own controllbox and turn the power on, then the apm's are triggered, but I have to turn the volume up on both boxes. Then everything works fine but it shouldn't be necessary to use two boxes(and two remotes etc.) should it?

SOURCE: Gigaworks S750

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.

SOURCE: 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.

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.

Thanks

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.

Subwoofer will not play with other speakers

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.

Creative DDTS-100 Problem

It might be intereference that's being amplified. Try moving the power pack away from other things. I got the same when it was positioned near a 360 power brick.

Creativr Gigworks S750 Subwoffer intermittent sound

The S750 system is a great sounding one but unfortunatly like many similar systems all the amplifiers and power supplies are housed inside the sub box. This means they suffer badly from heat and vibration problems (they cook themselves or shake themselves apart). I have fixed a few S750 systems in the past but due to their complexity it's not for the faint hearted.

Sound qulity ?`creative t7900 ddts 100

You must balance your speakers. It is not the DDTS-100. I had the same thing with active speakers. Check your speakers separately though. If it still sounds like it sound comes from underneath the surface, the speakers are maybe broke. If not, get a new DDTS-100.
