Creative SBS 2.1 370 Speaker - Volume Remote Controller not worki

Hi, I hope this helps,

Pins look like this: (Top view, not copper side)
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9

1 = Thin white wire from thick white cable (Left input)
2 = Gray (Speaker out)
3 = Orange (+V return from volume unit to bass unit)
4 = Not connected
5 = Thin Red wire from thick red wire (Right input)
6 = Blue (+V power from bass unit to volume unit)
7 = Black (GND - if socket removed, solder 3 socket shield holes to each other or solder black wire directly leftmost hole)
8 = Not connected
9 = Shield copper from thick red wire

Shield copper from thick wire : Solder to GND or Left unconnected

Hi lorenzogoode
You don't need drivers for these speakers : it's a plug and play system .
Check your connections , power supply and volume settings .

Make sure you use the green (amplified) PC jack.

Have you checked on the PC that its not muted.? There is normally an icon at the bottom of the screen which looks like a speaker if you right click on it, it will give an option to open the volume controls. Check this to see if sounds have been muted.

Looks like this is an end of life speaker system..the help you will get through Creative is limited, but here is the direct link to your model #.

try to download the necessary drivers and reinstall

This sounds like an electrical problem in the speaker circuitry - between the speaker(s) and the control knob.

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.

1. connect:Both Ground (copper wires) with Green wire
2. Connect Red with Blue and
3. Connect White with Yellow
This will give Stereo Output.

Open up your controller and look for 4 Wire! Green, light green, blue and yellow! Green and yellow is for power i guest! Light green and blue is for bass. 4 together max everything!
