Creative Inspire P7800 Drivers For Mac

May 10, 2009 Is it a Creative Labs or a non Creative labs sound controller? Ok, here goes, stay with me here, this is confusing: The P7800 speaker system is a 7.1 speaker system, in other words, 8 channels. I have got a mid 2007 iMac and a Creative inspire p7800 7.1 speaker. What I want to do is to hear 5.1 dolby digital surround sound from the creative speaker (which does not support DD and DTS like Logitech z5500 and Logitech Z906 do).

Pretty Good. I have being using for more than a month. These speakers are excellent even when they are just haphazardly close together. Most kinds of music; jazz, classical, country and the list goes on, sound are exciting. Sounds came in every direction rather than from just 2 speakers. Once the speakers are well placed, the sounds are fascinating. So, it is pretty good set for someone who is looking to spend about a medium range of price on speakers.
The speakers themselves are very good with my system and they also perform very well and bring out the rich environmental sounds. Overall, it is good price and great sound quality.

When we think about computers, we don't always think about sound. But sound is an important part of the computer experience, whether you're using your computer to play music files, watching videos or for gaming. Creative Labs produces a wide variety of powered speaker systems designed for use with computers. Installing Creative speakers depends upon the type of speaker system and your computer. We'll examine the installation of common 7.1, 5.1, and 2.1 Creative speakers.

Step 1

Check your sound card connections on the back of your computer. Your sound card must have three minijack outputs to allow you to connect a 7.1 system. These may be labeled sequentially as 'Line out 1-3,' or they may be designated as 'front,' 'rear/side,' and 'center/subwoofer.' The jacks will be color-coded as well--respectively green, orange, and gray.

Step 2

Connect the green cable of your speaker system between 'Line out 1/front' of the computer and the 'front' jack of your speaker system's subwoofer. This connection and the following connections are achieved by simply plugging the 3.5 mm minijack plug on each end of the cable into the appropriate jack.

Step 3

Connect the orange cable of your speaker system between 'Line Out 2/center/subwoofer' of your computer and the 'center/subwoofer' input of your speaker system's subwoofer.

Step 4

Connect the gray cable of your speaker system between the 'Line Out 3/rear' of your computer and the 'rear' and 'side' inputs of the speaker system's subwoofer. Note that this cable will have one connector on the computer end, and two on the subwoofer end, since there are separate 'rear' and 'side' plugs on the speaker system's subwoofer.

Step 5

Position your speakers. In a 7.1 system you'll have a subwoofer, center channel, two front, two side, and two rear speakers. Position these according to their description in the best possible position in your listening area. Try to position all the speakers (with exception of the subwoofer) at ear level for best performance.

Connect the included speaker cables between the speakers and correct plugs on the subwoofer. For example, the center speaker will plug into the 'center speaker' jack on the subwoofer. The connectors are specific to each end (subwoofer or speaker) and are simply plugged in to make the connections.

Installing a Creative 5.1 speaker system

Step 1

Check your sound card connections on the back of your computer. Your sound card must have three minijack outputs to allow you to connect a 7.1 system. These may be labeled sequentially as 'Line out 1-3,' or they may be designated as 'front,' 'rear,' and 'center/subwoofer.' The jacks will be color-coded as well -- respectively green, orange, and gray.

Step 2

Step 3

Connect the orange cable of your speaker system between 'Line Out 2/center/subwoofer' of your computer and the 'center/subwoofer' input of your speaker system's subwoofer.

Step 4

Connect the gray cable of your speaker system between the 'Line Out 3/rear' of your computer and the 'rear' input of the speaker system's subwoofer.

Step 5

Position your speakers. In a 5.1 system you'll have a subwoofer, center channel, two front, and two rear speakers. Position these according to their description in the best possible position in your listening area. Try to position all the speakers (with exception of the subwoofer) at ear level for best performance.

Installing a Creative 2.1 speaker system

Step 1

Check your sound card connections on the back of your computer. Unlike a 5.1 or 7.1 system, your sound card needs only one stereo output to connect a 2.1 system. This will usually be labeled as 'line out' and will be color coded with a green jack. If you have multiple line outs, use the 'line out 1' or 'front' jack. When in doubt, use the green jack.

Step 2

Connect the green cable of your speaker system between 'line out' of the computer and the 'audio input' jack of your speaker system's subwoofer. The audio input jack will also be color coded green. This connection achieved by simply plugging the 3.5 mm minijack plug on each end of the cable into the appropriate jack.
