5.1 audio is missing one channel and other stories

Ok, I started another post earlier about this problem, but I thought I'd explain it a different way.
Here's my problem.  I go into the MSI Sound Manager and go to the speaker test tab.  I click on every speaker and everyone of them works except the REAR RIGHT speaker.  No sound comes out.  If I put it up to my ear, there's some static but no sound!  I tried every version of the Realtek driver under the sun as well as every BIOS update from 1.10 up to 1.9b2.
Here's the second problem:
I RMAed the first board to Newegg and they sent me another one.  The second one did the same thing.  MSI suggested that I take the mobo out of the case because maybe it was a grounding issue.  I did that (had everything hooked up on a phonebook) and it didn't change anything.  So, instead of sending back this board too I figured I'd try a Sound card instead.  I picked up a turtle beach santa cruz card, disabled the onboard sound and installed this board.  On that board, The front and rear channels work but nothing comes out of the center.  Am I just so lucky that 3 pieces of sound hardware don't work for me?
All I want is 5.1 sound!
Here's my computer
500W Power Supply:  +3.3V 28A, +5V 50A, +12V 18A, -5V 10A, -12V 1A, +5VSB 2.5A
AMD Athlon 3200+
MSI K8T Neo FSR
2x512MB VData PC3200 RAM
eVGA GeForce 6800 GT
NEC DVD Burner
Optowrite CD Burner
250GB IDE WD Hard Drive
Samsung Floppy

microsofts has a sound test program that will test 5.1 channels, and says right front left rear, etc. so if your still missing sounds after two boards, i would examine the jumpers , try both front and then rear jacks, then try the speakers on a different system , also look at speaker calibration and check speackers, physical knobs, fader balance etc..
also i just checked ebay and audigy2's can be had for 30$ or so, and may be worth investigating. are you in the us.
but i have a suspition that the problem is either the jack is not all the way in or speaker related, or a setting, as the chances of two boards with the same problem is slim but not impossible.

  • Exported Audio Voiceover Only One Channel

    I created a quicktime screen recording for a screencast/tutorial using QuickTime X.
    Brought that clip into FCPX, added some music, a few transitions and some motion graphics/titling.
    Exported to h.264 and I'm getting stereo from the music track, but the voiceover is only on one channel.
    So I go to audio settings and batch change everything to Mono. I noticed that there are surround sound settings, that is, multiple audio 'tracks'.
    Export and only one channel.
    When I monitor in FCP X I heare the audio out of both channels.
    When I export it using FCP X H.264 to quicktime: Audio Only On One Channel
    Killing me.
    So I I loaded the H.264 exported clip into QuickTime Pro 7
    Anyway, In QT 7 I changed all the settings for audio (properties) and turned every channel that showed up to mono, saved as and the QuickTime file now plays voiceover audio on both channels. Yeah!! So it seems.
    So I save as in QuickTime 7 and when I play in QuickTime 7 I get the Soundtrack/Voice over audio on two channels.
    But when I open it in QuickTime X (or upload the file to YouTube/Vimeo) the voiceover only comes through on one channel. Keep in mind that the stock Music does play through both channels!

  • Can I enable pof serialization for one cache and other JAVA serialization

    I had coherence cluster with few cache , Is there any way i can enable pof serialization for one cache and other to use normal JAVA serialization

    you can control serialization on a service-by-service basis. You can specify which serializer to use for the service with the <serializer> element in the service-scheme element corresponding to the service in the scache configuration file.
    Be aware, though, that if you use Coherence*Extend, and the service serializer configuration for the proxy service does not match the serializer configuration of the service which you are proxying to the extend client then the proxy node has to de- and reserialize the data which it moves between the service and the client.

  • Please Help - Audio Exporting-Only one channel

    When I export the audio from Final Cut, I get only one channel of audio ( right side). This happens with all the AC3 and PCM audio settings.
    All of the settings are correct in Final Cut. I have dual output audio on the meters and playback. I've also done a complete troubleshooting check on my playback system to make sure that everything is working properly. It is. I tunes plays everything back in stereo as does final Cut.
    Any suggestions? I'm really behing the 8ball at this point.

  • Missing system prefrences and other apps!! What do i do!?

    My I book G4 with tiger has been having some issues. First my (system preferences, mail, automator ect.) applications are missing. I have a external hard drive but i do not know how to go about backing it up. My computer is also experiencing long startup times (2+ min.) and trouble connecting to wi-fi. Please help me.

    If the computer shipped with the Tiger 10.4.x system on DVD media, then you
    have most if not all the stuff to get going on that install disc#1. You can start
    the computer from the install disc 1 by inserting that disc into the optical drive
    and restarting with the C key held down. This gets you into the Installer; but
    within the first page with a full window and the Installer menu-bar, you have
    options and access to tools, such as Disk Utility. And options in Disk Utility.
    Depending on what kind of external drive unit you have, it could be used as a
    backup. Some kinds of backups are best done to a FireWire enclosed HDD
    with a bootable chipset for making bootable clones of OS X using a clone utility
    such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper; both are download utilities and
    they can be utilized directly once the instructions from their home pages are clear.
    A clone should not be performed to a USB2.0 drive if expected to be bootable in
    the older PPC Macs; though some users had some successes in some instances
    the FireWire drive appeared the best overall setup to be invested in for those.
    You could use Pacifist utility (will run in Demo mode) to extricate correct packages
    from the Installer, to attempt to repair by reinstalling, just the parts that are missing.
    Pacifist can install parts of the system as it pulls them from a source and makes an
    installer on the desktop. This can be tricky, since it may not work the first time. And
    some aspects of the instructions can be unclear, making the result non-functional.
    An 'Archive & Install' - then update the resulting new system folder using the Combo
    and last security updates, all Java updates, quicktime, shockwave & flash player,
    new browsers, and other parts, could be the best way to go. If the hard disk drive is
    not failing, a full new installation on a zero-overwritten and reformatted hard disk drive
    would be a way to assure yourself the old content would be wiped out totally; so some
    kind of backup of even a defective drive's contents would be a good idea.

    With a mangled System and missing parts, some aspects of making an archive may be
    difficult. And your Disk Utility in the computer's system normally is within the Applications
    folder, in a Utilities folder. If Apps is gone, so is the Disk Utility. There is one on the boot
    install disc; so you can prepare an appropriate external hard disk drive with that, for use
    as a backup or clone host, if it is suitable.
    You have a few options. I'm still trying to figure out how the System Preferences and
    Applications folders could be missing or trashed from a user's computer. Unless a
    helper who had access to the computer while the admin-owner was away, had fun
    and opened folders, files, drives; and played drag-drop, trash, etc.
    Had you tried a search for System Preferences to see if that item was moved into
    some other incorrect location or the Apps moved into another folder?
    Sound like fun...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Pdf  WEB PAGES  -  MISSING SNAPSHOT TOOL (and others)

    I recently installed Adobe reader 9 and this has been a severely retrograde move. My university course makes ALL our lecture notes and documents avaialble OVER OUR INTRANET (i.e. as WEB PAGES) as pdf documents - we used to be able to simply click on the link and view them in a webpage, then use the Adobe snapshot tool whenever necessary to extract pictures or text from the notes (which often have ENORMOUS variations in font size and picture resolution WITHIN the ONE DOCUMENT) and paste them into a temporary document in order to blow them up and print them out so we can SEE them. They also often needed to be ROTATED before they could be printed out.
    Now however, the Adobe reader 9, when we view these documents IN A WEB PAGE, has NO tools that allow us to do these VERY IMPORTANT MEASURES to make our lecture notes READABLE. All it allows us to do is to print it as it is!
    In an incredibly demanding and intensive course, we now have to WASTE TIME we can ILL AFFORD by saving the document (which we DON'T WANT or NEED TO SAVE) and THEN OPEN it, use the tools which suddenly appear in Adobe reader 9 when opening a saved document, do what we need to do to print out something readable, then remember to delete what we've saved.
    This we have to do OVER and OVER AGAIN - it is UNELIEVABLY INCONSIDERATE and ANNOYING.
    We are already under HUGE pressure in our course, and students in the REAL WORLD do NOT have rich American mummies and daddies who pay all our expenses - we CANT AFFORD to buy every new expensive Adobe program just because our university decides to use pdf for everything.
    If anyone has information that there IS a way to do snapshots, rotation etc on a pdf document VIEWED IN A WEB PAGE, could you please advise us here? Thankyou!

    Thnakyou for your reply - there's definitley no way the uni will change their standard format, and it's really not their fault anyway. I wanted to re-load Adobe 7 but can't find it anywhere on the Adobe website, and do not want to risk loading it from elsewhere!

  • How do I get the audio to work for YouTube and other videos?

    How do I get audio to work for YouTube in Facebook and other videos as we'll?

    Hello, Olubabi
    Thank you for the question.  I'm assuming you are not receiving any sound from applications when playing video/audio content.  If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute.  Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the  settings for the side switch.  Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device.  Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

  • CK-200 Audio qualiy, missing menu items and softwa...

    Hi all.  First post and all that jazz.
    Wonder if anyone can assist with several issues I'm having with a CK-200.  to list them:
    Audio quality.  This is perhaps the worst problem.  I can hear the person I'm talking to quite clearly, (ISO version on decent car speakers) but the background noise reported by the other person is really really bad.  Whilst my car isn't the quietest in the world (LandRover Discovery) it's certainly not loud, but everyone has commented that they can barely hear me when I'm at motorway speeds.  Does the external microphone help remove background noise much?  I certainly hope so, as at the moment I have to be at 40mph or below to be heard properly.  I've tried calling someone else driving my car, and sure enough it sounds like the microphone is in the engine bay, and the person I'm talking to is in the boot!
    Second:  When I first got the kit, it appeared to understand that one of my phones (E90) was not compatible with downloading the address book, and so it didn't try, but if I made a few calls the kit remembered the numbers called.  After "updating" the software a few months ago, it now constantly tries to download the address book, fails, and if I try to do a "last number redial" it tells me that it can't download the address book.
    Lastly... (and has been mentioned in another thread) There appears to be a number of menu items missing, most noticeably the option to read a received text message.  The icon appears to tell me I have a new text, but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it!
    Shame, as it's a nice car kit, and the two-phone-connectivity is excellent, but I really must address these issues!
    Any and all assistance gratefully received!
    David.
    PS. as a sidenote, where can I actually buy a CA-134 for this kit from?  I know it's the cable I need, but I can't actually find one for sale anywhere!

    Glad you got it improved, I guess perhaps a 'mechanical' sound transmission problem. Not sure about inside the CK-200 unit - but inside Nokia external mic's the mike element is usually mounted in a block of foam rubber to absorb vibrations carrying through. I am certainly getting a little higher volume level on my 'answerphone' trails with an external 
    Little confused by the download issues. The CK-200 can download your contacts as one aspect but also your call history (calls made/missed/received etc) as another.
    The contacts (address book)  download certainly seems to stop dead when you set auto to off on all version and handsets I have tried. On recent software versions Nokia introduced the automatic download of call history, as far as I know this cannot be disabled - I would quite like to be able to as I don't really need it and it delays the initial connection before you can make a call. But anyway it sounds like its this thats giving you trouble. It may be down to some setting in your phone you can make to deny it permission to cooperate with the CK-200. Anyway see how it goes with V.3 first of course. (can't be long now )

  • My ipod nano has poor audio output on one channel

    I have an ipod nono Model PC694LL, version 1.2PC, and the audio on one of the headphone channels is weak, i have tried at least 3 different headset with the same results,  Am i just out of luck and the unit is faulty

    This functionality is not available on the iPod Classic and it's unlikely that it could ever be added in the future.  The iPod Classic line hasn't received any firmware or hardware upgrades over the past couple of years.
    A different solution would be to purchase a set up mono headphones.
