X-Fi Fatal1ty No sound from rear or center in speaker tests?

I just installed the X Fi Fatalty Xtreme Gamer and cannot get sound from the rear, center or subwoofer in the speaker tests. All the speakers (Logitech G-5 Gamer)?work playing MP3's but that's it. Installed latest drivers uninstalled an reinstalled card etc?Can anyone help with this before I box everything up and ship it back to newegg? Running Vista 64Message Edited by ovrclkd on 0-23-200807:6 PM

After carefully checking this again, it turns out clicking front left or right the sound comes out BOTH the front and rear. To make things more confusing when all but the line (green) 3.5 jack was unplugged ALL the speakers would work. LONG STORY SHORT I SENT THIS P.O.S. BACK TO NEWEGG FOR REFUND. Every thing works great with the onboard audio, I'm in the market for a 7. that works.Maybe Auzentech? Any suggestions?!! With all the issues the peeps are having someone must be using a card that works out of the box in Vista 64

No sound from Rear Speakers - Center Channel Works F

I have a Windows Vista (brand new) system, with an X-Fi XtremeMusic card on board. Connected via the digital i/o dongle is an Onkyo TX SR-605 receiver, which in turn is hooked up to a 5. Polk Audio speaker setup. The 5. setup works fine?for all other components on the receiver. That said, it doesn't seem that there's much or any sound coming from the rear speakers when it's playing the computer setup. When I use the THX speaker setup utility it correctly identifies the right, left, center, and sub, but then announces that the front right and left speakers are the rear right and left speakers. Any idea how to fix this?

All the sudden I got the similar problem with Logitech Z-5500 with optical out...test with THX Consol and no sound coming out of rear Speakers instead front R and L.......update to latest driver but problem remains....

No sound from rear or center of Inspire 5300 speakers

I have an Audigy 2 Platinum card and an Inspire 5300 speaker system. All was well until a few days when sound only came from the two front speakers. The creative speaker settings tool no longer shows any speaker settings to choose from. Windows allows me to choose 5.1 setting, but of course it doesn't work. I re-installed the latest drivers and media go! software but problem persisits. I ran the diagnostic tool and I received the following error: "NTWriteWordConfig-CONFIG_READWORD". Could this be the cause of my problem, and if so, how can I fix it's Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i have a similar problem
in my case the problem is with the front c/sub,i have no output on the sub.
it would be surely great if someone could throw a look at this and help out...

Soft sound from rear speakers while playing mov

Hi,?Gaming and music is done via all speakers (i'm using analogue connection) just fine, but when i play a movie (using powerdvd 6?deluxe) i get faint sounds from the rear speakers. I had contact with creative's help desk in my country and we ran thru all system settings (e.g. thnx console). Everything was configured correctly., tho still a weak sound from rear speakers. They could not help me further ?I'm using a x-fi fatality soundcard with a logitech z-5400 speakerset.
When running a movie it shows a logo near the system tray : dolby digital. I am hoping one of u has a solution to this problem. Greetz,?Nask

In most of the cases, movies with mutichannel soundtrack do not use constantly every speakers. I think your case is normal and that's only your DVD's mix (as many DVD) that concentrates more on the front. try some of the sample there: http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/do...s/trailers.phpIf the first one sound at the same level for each speakers then it's alright.

Why no sound from rear speakers (Xfi X

Vista 32bit, CMSS enabled, why no sound from rear speakers with music? XP no problem at all, only in Vista. Using latest drivers (v2.5.0004).
I realize I'm hoping against hope to get a useful answer at the Creative forums, but I do believe in miracles and the odd one happening once or twice in a lifetime, lol.

Well, I think I have an answer, from Catherina-CL's Audio in Windows Vista post. 2.The Vista audio architecture changes the way per-stream audio processing works, which required us to write new software to support this
Issues that may be encountered:
CMSS no longer works on audio streams from the OS.
Status:
Features based on Windows XP architecture must be rewritten to conform to the new Vista architecture, and we have a team of software engineers, project managers and testers dedicated to this task in order to provide our customers the same seamless audio experience under Windows Vista that they enjoyed under Windows XP. However, I found a somewhat crappy solution, at least with my old Altec Lansing 4 speaker/ subwoofer system. Unplug the surround cable from your subwoofer (unplugging it from the card itself has no effect). That at least will make all the speakers work, even if it's not true surround. Good for listening to music loud.

Hi,
Sorry I misunderstood, central (center) speaker is the one sit at the middle, we normally call Left, Right and Center speakers. Anyway, what is your speaker icon (bottom right corner) says ? Does it look like this ?
1. If NO, double click it & turn it ON
2. If YES, right click it, select "Playback devices" and turn it ON, it should look like this:
3. Otherwise, please post back

Really low sound from rear left spea

I have 5. headphones and when i have them pluged into my xtreamgamer i barly get any sound from my rear left speaker, i know it works because if i plug it in my basic MB soundcard it works fine. Is this a known problem or a fix for this?

I've installed the latest drivers, made sure the the jack is plugged in right (theres only one, that comes from the Monitor or the headphones). The CD only has an installation guide, and i know onboard sound is disabled because i never had one in the first place after a recent reformat. and before that reformat sound came out from both sides normally, so i know something is wrong with the sound card.
EDIT: i just did a random tests, and i found out that the right speaker is working, but it is playing extreamly low. i had to blare up my volume up to 00% and i bearly heard it. i've checked the playback control, and played around with it and still have same problem.Message Edited by Bigs80 on --200606:49 AM

Muffled sound from rear speakers (t7700)

I hooked up new T7700 speaker set up to my new Audigy 2 ZS Gamer and when i watch movies or play games i hear nothing from my rear speakers. if i put my ear right by them then i hear that there is sound coming from them but very quietly.
side front and center work fine any ideas?

That would be normal for a 5.1 system, rear is very discrete.
Use the speaker test and you should hear the level increase. or use cmss to play cd music to back 2 speakers.
[edit] sorry didnt see the bit with side speakers.
Select 5.1 instead of 7.1
if you still want to use 7.1 then check the settings in the decoder bit and look at where you are mapping the speakers to. like in a 7.1 speaker configuration map 5.1 content to etc\
For 5.1 movies use the rear mapping, or the side mapping,
if you want all the speakers on then select the side and rear option then whatever sound you get from the speakers will be a bonus.

I had to re-load my Sound Blaster Li've! Value but now I don't have any sound from my rear speakers. I have set the SB settings for four speakers and my Sound and Audio setting is for Quadraphonic. I registered for auto SB updates but the system could not find any updates for my installation.

After reading some threads I come away with some ideas and thoughts. I haven't tried everything, and there are a lot of unhappy customers out there. Creative, take note.

No sound from rear panel!!

Hi,
There is no sound from the rear panel line-out. Also, the line-in and mic jacks do not work. Have checked the jumpers 5,6 and 9,10 of JAUD1. They are in place.
Have re-installed the Audio driver from the driver CD.
The config:
MSI RS482M4 motherboard.
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
1 GB RAM
Maxtor 6y080L0 160GB and ST306021 80GB
ASUS CRW-5232AS
SONY DVD RW DRU-820A.
Pls help!!!!

The files that you are trying to play are stereo only?
Last time i used a Realtek sound card i could test HRTF from the control panel ,to see if all speakers work.You should also check the 5.1 configuration in both Windows and Realtek sound control panel.
You can use Foobar 2000 player (and use the multichannel converter in its DSP manager) or a mediaplayer like Power DVD ,to play a DVD with multichannel support.
Unfortunatelly Realtek doesnt offer something similar to Qsound or Creative's multichannel upmix tricks.As long as you use the proper player you should be able to listen a stereo recording upmixed to 5.1.
If you re using XP make sure that in Winamp you select for Output the Direct Sound plug in instead of Wave.(wave doesnt support multychannel).

4.1 Speaker Setup - No sound from rear speak

Opsys: Windows 2000 (just installed)
Card: Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
Software: Installed full sets of Creative software, everything runs
I'm trying to set up a 4. system where I'm using 2 set sets of stereo speakers plugged into line outs # and #2.
The problem is that I get sound only from line out #. All attempts at plugging the second set of speakers into the other line outs doesn't do anything for sound. I have switched the 2 sets around and they both work from lineout #.
The speaker calibration program only works for the front left and right speaker (i.e. no rear speaker output). I have tried more than just the 4. option, but none of them produce any sound to the rear speakers.
I have enabled EAX and CMSS, but this hasn't done any good. Still no sound from the rear speakers.
I checked the speaker set up and the volumes are midway for all speakers, both front and back.
Soooo. My guess is driver problems or maybe the 2 way stereo plug doesn't work with the 3 way plugs of line out #2 and #3.
Any ideas?
Rick

Okay, I get the stupid award for this one. I didn't notice that I was plugging my rear speakers into to the mic instead of the lineout 2. Well, in my defense, they are symetrically located around lineout and they do fit.
I would suggest people with sound issues to look at the other utilities. The one that helped was the Thx Setup console. This displays all info about the speakers, analog/digital settings, and even a picture showing the card plugs (that got the noodle thinking).
Also the Surround Mixer showed the correct configuration of the 4 speakers but without a sub hooked up. This fits my 2 stereo connections exactly.
Cheers.

No sound from rear speakers on my Inspire 5500, all I get is a hissing sound! :(

Hi ppl, im new ere.
I just bought a Surround sound, i put it together, play music, and thers no sound from my rear speakers. its the same when i play a game and look at a DVD (which DO support 5.1 sound)
I already made sure all the connections in the amp and subwoofer are in properly and they are...
And I also know that it cudnt be my sound card because it also supports 8.1 and im only trying to use a 5.1.
Please help someone....
All help is greatly appreciated
Dave

Hi Dave,
First things first. For music and games (and the speaker test in Windows), what you're experiencing is normal. A digital connection like coaxial or optical SPDIF can only pass over either an encoded stream (like AC3 on DVDs), or a stereo PCM signal. If you're playing music/games, the sound is not an AC3 stream, but essentially several stereo signals. The connection simply cannot pass this over. For more detail, read this forum thread and this knowledgebase article. You can turn on the upmix function on the decoder to give sound out of more speakers, but this is an effect, so you will not get the positional sound out of games for instance.
For DVDs however, this should work perfectly, as you are sending an unprocessed AC3 stream from the system directly to your speakers. All you need to do is adjust the settings and it should work fine. Make sure the DVD software's audio option is set to SPDIF/bypass, rather than 5.1. Choosing 5.1 in the software will make it decode the signal rather than pass it through. Then check the settings for the card and it should work.

5.1 Speaker Problems - No Sound from rear/

So I have recently reinstalled windows XP and I just found my xfi cd to day and I installed the drivers / audio panel.
When I did the speaker test while setting it up, the only sound that would come out is from the front left / front right speakers. No sound at all from the sub/rear.
The weird thing is, when I am listening to other audio, there is a tiny bit of sound coming through the rear speakers.
The problem is not with the speakers, they worked perfectly before I reinstalled and I did not touch them at all while doing that.Message Edited by bobby77 on 05-03-200702:42 PM

I (hopefully) clarified some of this in the other thread, but this is not the way it works. Read the other thread for a more detailed rundown.
When you're playing anything that isn't a true Dolby Digital 5. source (with an encoded AC3 stream), like a game or music, you will only get stereo over a digital connection. That is normal, that is not a bug or a mistake, but that is normal. No coaxial wire is capable of passing over a 5. signal that isn't an encoded AC3 stream. If you're playing a DVD, that will work, as it's an encoded AC3 stream, but as I mentioned the card and DVD software have to be set to bypass the signal, to the encoded AC3 stream goes over the cable untouched, and your external decoder can process the signal.

Yes I know all that.But even if it's not a AC3 signal, like when you play a stereo MP3 file, shouldn't the Dolby Digital led on th external decoder be on anyways? Since it does transfer from a Digital out to a Digital in. I say this, because when using my internal Dolby Digital feature (nVidia Soundstorm) from the coaxial SPDIF out to the Inspire 5500's coaxial digital in, the Dolby Digital led is always on. I know it's no real 5. DD, but it is a digital signal, so it detects it and triggers the led.So I expect this to be the case with the Audigy 2 SZ too.
