MegaWorks THX 250D Computer Speakers take ages to start working over RCA every day

I have never used this type of RCA SPDIF Component Audio, but the best way to connect these as a test is by a 3.5mm male audio jack lead from the back of the speakers to the audio jack on the back of the computer. It sounds like you need an electronics engineer. MegaWorks THX 250D features high performance true 24-bit Digital-to-Analog Convertors and supports sampling frequencies from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz, via an RCA SPDIF digital connection. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/23964/Cambridge-Soundworks-Megaworks-Thx-250d.html?page=8#manual ..

I just installed Creative PCI Sound Blaster 5.1VX

These systems sense the speakers and you cannot use a Y connector on them. You need to get the individual speakers connected to the card and see how it performs. Also check the device manager in windows to see if it show any errors and last but not least what is the motherboard, the operating system?

Installing an older SBLive card model CT4780

The CD jumper cable goes to the CD IN on the audio card. It can go to either the CD or the DVD drive; it depends on which one you'll use for most of the AV discs. If you mostly listen to audio CDs in the CD drive, connect the jumper to that device. If you watch movies on DVDs and listen to CDs, connect the jumper to the DVD drive. Just make sure to put your audio CDs into that drive and not into the CD drive. The Aux port is for connecting to an internal TV tuner or other video capture card. The TAD port is for connecting the SB Live! card to a voice modem to make the computer a telephone answering device. Creative still has the documentation for the SB Live! audio cards on their support site. It's in the section that lists all of their devices: https://support.creative.com/Products/product_list.aspx?catID=1&CatName=Sound+Blaster . Use the menus to select Live! in the first column. Then choose Sound Blaster Live! in the third column. Click Next. Click on the link for the Quick Start Guide near the top of the page. Select one of the listed manuals to download and solve the problem given in the Captcha box. The current link to Quick Start Guide for the SB Live audio cards is https://files.creative.com/manualdn/Manuals/TSD/2389/sblive.pdf . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Zen M

Hello, Akolcheva - Even rechargeable batteries eventually lose their ability to be recharged and need to be replaced. I suspect you need to purchase a replacement battery for your Zen M, install it, and charge it for use. I see there are several online sources for ordering Zen M replacement batteries. Also, since Zen M is a product of Creative, you may find better help by posting on the relevant product forum here: http://forums.creative.com/forumdisplay.php?f=3 . Note: If you are not already registered with the Creative Products forums, you can register for free. Then, you will need to log in to post your question. Best wishes.

I had sound with these

Try this......Down in the right corner, you should see a speaker icon. Right click that, and select Playback devices. Select your speakers from the list, set them as Default, and Click on Apply. If after that they still do not work, open Control Panel, click on Troubleshooting, and click on Audio devices. Go through that wizard.

No sound from the pc or the PCI sound card

Let's try the obvious - then move on to a more in-depth fix for this. Assuming you're running Windows .. Lower right corner of the screen (in the task bar) is a speaker icon. If there's a red circle lined through, it means the audio is muted or turned off. Simply click on the icon, and the pop-up will show the same circle. Click on that, and it ought to work. Again, this is the obvious, and most common I've found to occur. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/keith_f374b1cfd1696a17

The speakers work fine apart from the sub

Appears that the map powering the sub woofer is fubar. Those amps take a beating usually from being over driven. Transistors are not like tubes that will just reach a limit, distort, and stay there. You push a transistor and it will self destruct since it knows no limits ala evel knevil.

Hi, I have a Creative Zen

http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=700611 The above thread contains a successful use of Creative with Windows 7, keep reading down the page. Other suggestions have been to try Vista drivers rather than XP. And there was the inevitable suggestion to use Windows XP mode on Windows 7 (but not all versions of W7 have XP mode.)

Hi, my left earpiece of my ep 630 plays softer

Might not be the head set. Try it with another device and see if the issue remains. Might be a problem with your original device
