I have a set of 5.1 Digital 5700 speakers which ive had for 16 years of trouble free service and now they've started playing up. I connect them to my PC through a optical cable and tonight i cant get any sound out of them. My sound card is definitely outputting sound as i can hear it through headphones. Same problem when connecting my Xbox through optical cable. Any ideas?
Creative Inspire Digital 5700 Issues
- Thread starter Unreal22
- Start date
I'm using a sound card, Sound Blaster AE-5. Never had a problem with it before. I'm having the same issue when I connect the Xbox to the speaker system through optical cable also which makes me think it's the speakers.
I've been fiddling with the the last few days to try and get them to work and nothing. Perhaps time for a change.

I've chosen to ditch the 5.1 option and go with 2.1 instead, less clutter on my desk. Shame to see the old Creatives go as i've had them a long time, certainly had my moneys worth out of them.
Decided to go with these, be interesting to see how they perform. Unfortunately not through Overclockers though as they're out of stock.
