Or go to settings>sound>test.

How dare u use speakers in a meeting, headphones and no echo!

@@Erigorn True! Using Speakers in a conference / on discord is a cardinal sin!

@Takuwa Yes, really.

@@Erigorn If you use speakers like these normally, and then use their headphone jack for convenience, there can still be silence in the beginning because it needs to wake up

hehe good one

A haiku? Let me try A sunny day in which B i rush Oops! All A

@@mmfreshmeat2860 That's not a haiku

@@henryambrose8607 i only have a vague understanding of what a haiku is: some lines of words that are supposed to say something but it sounds like a german guy is using english for the first time

@@mmfreshmeat2860 A haiku is, if I'm not mistaken, always written in intervals of a 5 syllable line, 7 syllables, then 5 again.

This is exactly what CPU C (except C1 state, which is hidden in Windows and cannot be changed by user easily and you shouldn't disable it either as it saves a ton of power for no noticeable sluggishness) states are. Making you CPU sluggish for next to none savings. On top of that, they can reduce SSD 4K read and write performance by up to 70%. If you don't build your computer yourself,l those C states could be enable by OEM and there's not much that you can do about that. And the reason why I'm mad is that they save fractions of watt only. Meanwhile, something like Intel EIST or Speedshift saves at least 8-10 watts. Useless feature.

I remember watching your videos from 2017, didn't even expect to see here😂

Wait till you hear about low flow toilets then using more water to successfully flush than a (forgive the pun) bog standard toilet.

Just rendering, encoding, decoding and displaying this video to thausands of viewers cost more energy than the feature will ever save

@@yasinomidi7525 Echo Warriors will Destroy the Planet I tell ya. Anyway look at my above post for the only good work around on this Satanic Panic Problemo.

Oh wow, 6 seconds of silence now!

Or just mute the audio for the first 3 second and people will understand the frustration

This legitimately happened to me and I started the video over again just to hear the whole name of the product. Thankfully that only happened because I use RU-vid on mobile but I found it funny that I experienced this video that way

@@duccc That was hell. Do not recommend trying.

2012 for me. Creative crew represent.

wahey me too! I forget when I got them now it seems like I've had them forever. Little bluetooth blobs have come and gone in my room and none have shaken my satisfaction with these speakers. Its a shame the new ones auto turn off and have shit hardware that cant even instantly turn them back on again.

@eyePenetration mine are 'murican so they dont have the EU regulation features

Oky but u also have 3 sec waiting?

@@piggybaggy242 no 3 second waiting on V1 of these speakers but V2 does have it in europe, not sure about the US and other places

I know right! I didn’t see enough people mentioning this

It's Phillip, some innuendo will appear

lmao i didnt even notice this until i saw you mention it. hilarious.

:( rip

Good luck out there, friendly stranger.

@@theblueseahorse1217 Holding out for the ol' ear wooshing-ringing-EEEEing-cure. Thanks mate.

I have it in both of my ears. I share your pain :(

@@Buscatrucos Yeah, its a real unfortunate pain

Kek, same.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, i know that feeling

So annoying

Same ):

so, any news on doctors actually finding a solution?

Yeah I'm wondering if other speakers are affected and if not, why Creative couldn't comply without impacting the user.

imagine 20,000,000 speakers pulling tiny energy at idle. you see their point. but this implementation is shit

while i agree that seems like a long time why do they have to sleep in the first place. its a mind blowingly stupid regulation. hell the energy required to produce the additional components necessary to perform this function probably outweighs the energy saved for devices of this size.

Yeah, as an EE, I put this squarely on the engineers who designed this. At the speed electronics work at, 3 seconds is an eternity. It should wakeup in a few milliseconds at most. My laptop, which has to boot an entire operating system can cold start in just over 3 seconds. Ridiculous.

@@ColtonBaldridge That must be an expensive ssd you have.

@@TotalNigelFargothDeath Linux + PCIe 4.0 SSDs do make for quite the combo. Even Windows on older SATA SSDs can boot in less than 10 seconds though.

@@saleplains Then why do these speakers have the power saving feature when others don't? It seems that these PC speakers are the only ones that has such an issue.

Same, mine atay on forever

Me too.

Welcome to the Club of the fortunate 🥰

I believe speakers using USB have to have some type of driver thing

it is. They should have made that a priority so high that even the price should have gone up to make sure the hardware was up to instant on/off/on I mean shit, that's a number one priority.

@@CJRussell even then it is ridiculous. You can build a pc that boots almost as fast

@@CJRussell my headphones are usb and the driver only has to be installed the first time after thats its instand go.

@@ClayMann thats true. Also the law just requieres standby and nt power off so they could have engineered it better. But probably the manufacturer is just shit and went for a cheap excuse

I want to be as calm and chill as you are

I'm about to get my first bookshelf powered speaker. Very nervous as I've not heard it and as its a present for my birthday its long past the you can just send it back date. Fingers crossed its a good one. I'll miss my Creative T40's but they have to go. I'll give them away to someone in our family circle but I suspect no one will want them as they don't have bluetooth built in and you can't carry them around lol

they're not even that expensive. you can get a pair of JBL LSR305s for 220 quid; add a decent usb interface or mixing console and boom for less than 300 squid you have a great pair of speakers

@@ikbendusan If you're wanting to get an xlr mic, you can get a cheap audio interface like the behringer umc202hd, and a pair of krk rokits, and boom, studio sound for relatively cheap.

I'm sure they're not doing because of that. Wired headphones are fully passive and if no sound is coming out, then there's no signal to start with -- that's the source issue. If they're wireless, then they do that for power saving, but not for the sake of regulations, but because it's a battery-powered device and manufacturer/designer wanted to increase stand-by time if user forgot to turn them off.

You do understand almost nobody will understand what that means, right?

he's used it for a while. it's also been used in his video on de_train i think

Holomorphic. Link in the description

And some people definitely will send them back and/or buy other speakers that don't do that. This way more energy is wasted. God I hate the EU with every cell of my body.

Sure, that's 64%, but 1.8W is still less power than *a single 25W-equivalent LED bulb*.

@@deneb_tm That's true, but if I would compare these results to my big boi speakers, it's 20 ~ 30 watts active average around 25 I guess, idle 19.5 watts and standby of 1.7 watts. That would be a 91% reduction in power usage. Looking at this is quite logical that you would want a sleep mode build into your electronics if you're not using them. This could safe a lot of power and I don't know how long that law has existed, but I'm certain that they are able to build speakers in a couple of years that can wake up within miliseconds instead of seconds. However to get companys to make this tech, they must have a reason to make it and in this case it's a ruling from the EU.

@@Redmongames Yeah, at that point it's easier to argue the value of it. And tbh I'm fully certain we've got that tech right now, their implementation is just shoddy.

i cant believe these speakers seem to suck so much, i never actively noticed, but your right bout the speaker buttons at least.

in my defense: we usually just use them for mario kart and watchign movies so 10 minutes of silence are rare

you went from being super high tech audiophile and as the years passed you were a bit of a poor man just getting by with old garbage then people actually started to discover that the path of modern audio hasn't improved it. Its made it worse but more profitable for the music industry. Hey mono speaker how you doin! And gradually you went from poor man to super chic retro audiophile. I never got on the super high tech audiophile train to begin with so I've lived my life as a poor man garbage hoarder, no complaints here hehe.

@@ClayMann To be honest, the AKAI was rescued from my dad's shop, the Kenwood speakers were $15 CAD at Value Village, the Kenwood stereo was free, and the custom sub was built from the disintegrated remains of the shop speakers that were with the AKAI. From what I understand, the AKAI and the speakers it was paired with were high end for their time, but it's all low-tech ghetto rigging for me.

same with jbl flip4, impossible to skype over that thing because of this stupid feature. I went as far as to modify the circuit board to prevent this stupid sleeping behavior.
