5.1 rear speakers problem

I hav bought M5300 yesterday and installed it. But the problem is that, when I check my speakers with my audio driver software(Intel Audio Studio and sigmatel both) all of them work fine. means every speaker produces sound in the speaker test. But the problem is that when I play a movio or clip or song the rear speakers dont produce sound at all. only the front 3 speakers produce the sound.
Can somebody help me out.
I have intel DG965RY motherboard and it has inbuilt soundcard compatible to 5.1
Thank you

Hi,
I see that you missed installing the drivers based on the information that you have posted.??? When installing the video drivers, do a clean install and you should not install the NVIDIA audio drivers since you are using onboard audio.

Problem with Rear Speakers (Inspire P5800)

Hi,
I have bought the Inspire P5800 Sound System but I have a problem. When I do a soundtest with the driver software all speakers work but when I want to listen to music with Musicmatch Jukebox I don't get any sound on the rear speakers. I have on board AC97 sound on a Gigabyte K8NS motherboard.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks!
robertthronhill

robertthronhill,
That's normal as music are mostly in stereo and that's 2 channel only. Creative sound card have CMSS feature that upmix stereo to surround soundfield but since you are using onboard audio, you will have to check with your mainboard manufacturer if those audio card have similar feature also.

Problem with rear speakers!

I bought new Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Card and I have problem. My rear speakers (DTT2200) don't work. They're connected well, I have newest audio driver and CMSS-3D is enabled. I tested speakers on Creative Control Console and only rear speakers don't work.5.1 speakers are enabled in control panel of WinXP.Please help,Albert.

Check its set to 5.1 everywhere, especially in the creative control (not 7.1 or stereo anywhere). Check your connections at both ends (sounds silly, but check theyre firmly in) and at the speakers too. Try hooking the rear connection up to the front output on the X-Fi to rule out a problem with the speakers. Check volumes everywhere, settings everywhere, etc. Things like this are normally just one small setting you have overlooked somewhere.

V7.0.0.70 - Rear speakers not working

Having just updated to iTunes version 7.0.0.70, my rear speakers no longer work although they're fine with all other applications, just not iTunes. Even my Creative diagnostics say everything is fine.
I've been into QT and set the audio preferences so that "Sound Output" is:
Rate - 44.1 kHz
Size - 24bit
channels - 5.1 (L R C LFE Ls Rs)
...and still nothing. The front and centre ones work fine.
Reinstalled QT...nothing....Did a repair install and got the rear ones working but then had terrible distortion. Decided to trash iTunes and QT and reinstall, and now I'm back with no rear speakers
I'm running XP Pro SP2 (fully patched)
Anyone any ideas....please.

There seem to be loads of people with this problem, unfortunately there's also a deafening silence from Apple. Maybe their product testers are down the pub, where they clearly were when V7 was being developed. Are Apple the new Microsoft ????
I've gone back to 6.05 and HURRAH !!! all my speakers work again.
Moral of the story here is "if it ain't broke..." and if you must update then carefully reveiw the forums and web before taking the leap into the unknown.

Hi, i have 4 speakers and a subwoofer. Mainboard is asrock xtreme4 which come with realtek hd audio.
You may know the famous "rear speaker problem" on windows products. While speaker test just works fine, rear speaker never works on media player, winamp etc...
But recently it become really interesting because, that rear speakers works fine on firefox browser 22.0. So it gave me hope the solve this problem once and for all.
Right now, when i listening any thing on firefox, rear speakers works fine. But not working on Chrome and other stuff.
What firefox 22.0 made to work speakers fine?

hey have you tryed connecting other speakers to the bad connected one and see if it was not a bad channel? if so then let me know and I will look in to this problem more and try my best to get you the answers your looking for ok

How to enable rear speakers (old creative ca

i've a quite old sound card by creative and i am using Windows XP. the sound card name displayed in device manager is 'Creative AudioPCI' and in sound settings through control panel its name appears as 'Creative Sound Blaster PCI'
i've creative inspire 4. sound system but the problem is that only front speakers give me sound. windows itself installed the dri've for the card. i dont have the CD.
do i need to install some app by creative to let the rear speakers enabled?

no, there are two other jacks for headphones and microphone. they are colored blue and pink respecti'vely.
i plugged only the front of my speakers to the '2' sound output jack but this time no sound came out of any speaker.
Try w/ these --> Asio4All, Nati've Instruments TRAKTOR BeatPort Player
--> install the Asio4All driver and BeatPort Player
--> set speakers to 4/4. (speaker settings on CT or Windows software)
--> turn CMSS processing (or equal settings) OFF and all other effects OFF too
--> set BeatPort Player output to Rear L/R channels and start playing
--> start some other playback software you have there (winamp, WMP, etc.) and start playing it too (this normally outputs only to Front L/R)
If you get different signals out from Front and Rear, your card should be capable least for quatraphonic output.

No rear speakers with quicktime update

Once I updated quicktime about 3 versions ago, I can't seem to get the rear speakers to play with videos. All four speakers work fine with music and any other file but just not with movies.
Anyone have similar problems and know how to fix this? So far I've just been reinstalling the old version which is a bit of a pain since everytime I update itunes it automatically installs the new quicktime.
I'm using a Dell 5100 with windows xp and a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card

Try installing the latest version of iTunes (7.0.1.8) from Apple's website. It fixed this problem for me although QuickTime is still showing version 7.1.3.

Rear speakers with flash plugin no sound

Anybody know how to get sound out of rear speakers when using
the flash player plugin? I've searched online and some people have
the same problem but nobody seems to have any answer.

All,
Are you using the Li'veDrvUniPack from our website or using the default Windows Driver? If you are using the default driver then there will be limitations. You will need to install the complete Li'veDrvUni-Pack from our downloads section to get 5. if you have a Li've! 5. card.

Laptop rear speakers muted. Not showing up in alsamixer.

This is my second time around with Arch. I had this same problem before but I was able to Google the issue no problem, but I can't for the life of me find the right combination of keywords this time around. I'm sure someone will come in here and take 3 seconds to find it...
Anyways, like the title says. My rear speakers aren't playing any noise. Last time I am pretty sure that I just had to type in some command and then go into alsamixer to turn the volume up on the rear speakers, but when I use the 'alsamixer' command I can only see the "master" channel. I also installed pulseaudio but found nothing in the settings.
HP pavilion computer, using ALSA and and pulseaudio. I'm not sure what other information would be needed. If I there is some command I need to type in to list some info about my hardware/drivers please let me know and I will do that for you. I know this is an easy fix, and I did try to Google it myself before coming here. I just couldn't find anything that fixed my issue this time around.
Thank you.

It's considered obnoxious, as it's an empty post with no extra detail/troubleshooting -- also, asking if it's ok to bump with a bump makes the question rather redundant, does it not? Like knocking on a door and entering at the same time.

Help with P5800 5.1 rear speaker problem.

I have the Inspire P5800 5.1
When I test the speakers with the Surround Mixer control panel I get the test voice on all 5 speakers. If I play a DVD with 5.1 Surround (Spiderman 2) I get no sound from the rear speakers. I have Soundblaster Live. 24 Bit. I am using ATI All-in-Wonder to play the DVD.
What could be my problem? I beleive it should be a set up in the computer, I just don't know where.
My computer skills are intermediate.
Thank you for any help,
Al

Using the Creative software (double click speaker icon in tray) then go to speaker setting make sure that you select 5.1 Speakers. If possible, try and download PowerDVD6 this software allows you change the speaker configuration to 5.1 etc...
You may also have this feature in ATI all in wonder. Check Audio options, make sure that 5.1 is selected or similar. It could also be that the ATI software does not support 5.1 only stereo 2 speaker.

Rear speakers mapping over front speakers Inspire 5.1 Digital 5500

When I wanted surround on my pc a few years ago, and didn't want to buy a new speaker set, I hooked up my Inspire 5.1 Digital 5500 to my Audigy 2 ZS. The only way to do this was by plugging the different speaker inputs directly from the subwoofer connection panel into the various output ports of my card. Thus skipping the 5500's decoder/volume control device which is only hooked up to provide power to the sub/speaker system. Volumes are set on the audigy card itself.
This has worked fine for a few years and gave no problems whatsoever upto now. Even to the point where I replaced my Audigy 2 for a X-FI Fatality because I thought my soundcard was screwed. With the X-Fi it worked correctly for a day and then it went wrong again. I can't get it to work right and am clueless what the problem is. But I presume it's something in the speaker system.
What happens is as follows:
My rear channels are so soft they almost sound muted. Changing the settings/levels in the speaker settings or THX calibration doesn't make any difference whatsoever. And the majority of the sound that has to go to the back gets mapped on the front speakers. This is also the case with the speaker test and not a dolby/dts/surround problem.
Front Left is ok
Front Right is ok
Front Center gets played by Front Center AND Front Left (soft volume) AND Front Right (soft volume)
Rear Left gets played by mainly FRONT Left (and very softly on Rear Left)
Rear Right gets played by mainly FRONT Right (and very softly on Rear Right)
I rewired, checked cables, (replaced the soundcard from Audigy 2 to X-FI), reinstalled drivers and reinstalled windows. I'm now clueless and got no idea how to get it fixed.
I also tried hooking them up through the optical cable on the X-FI bay and having them properly wired to the 5500's decoder device. But that was even less successfull (only getting a lot of static white noise and no audio signal whatsoever) I also read this won't get me surround anyways except for when true surround sources get played (dvd playback etc), so I stopped going down that path and have them back on the normal minijack plugs.
Please help. I don't want to have to invest in another speaker system. Especially not after the expensive audio card replacement which apparently wasn't necessary.
I also don't get it how a rear signal can end up on the front speakers. When they are seperate cables. Or is there a decoder in the sub-unit as well which may have been broken?
Thanks in advance.

I have this exact same issue. I just purchased the X-Fi ExtremeGamer with the Digital I/O Module. I've tried both Coax and Optical, but I get no sound in the rear speakers. 6-Channel Direct works just fine.

No sound in rear speakers with Sound Blaster Li

I have a Sound Blaster Li've sound card.. In win98 with older drivers it was possible to set the card to 5., but now (in winXP and newest drivers) there are these thrre optins: headphones, 2 speakers and 4 speakers... I use digital output and I have 5. speakers. I can li've with only 4 speakers but it does not work very good.
When i press the test button i hear the front left voice and the front right voice correctly in the front speakers, but i hear both voices in both rear speakers. But then the test is supposed to say rear left and rear right, but there is no sound. My receiver is a Harman/Kardon AVR 550 and is set to dolby pro logic and 5. speakers.
How do I solve the problem!

All,
Are you using the Li'veDrvUniPack from our website or using the default Windows Driver? If you are using the default driver then there will be limitations. You will need to install the complete Li'veDrvUni-Pack from our downloads section to get 5. if you have a Li've! 5. card.

X-Fi Fatal1ty - Rear Speakers on 5.1 not working without using CM

Hi,
I've bought a brand new PC with Vista (32bit) installed and i've upgraded all the drivers for this graphics card and i just can't get any sound out of my rear 5. speakers without enabling CMSS.
If i disable it and do diagnoistics, i get responses from all the speakers in both voice and noise tests. If i then try and run a DVD or MP3 through the rear speakers i get now sound.
How do i make these rear speakers work?
Cheers,
Craig

Ok, for those who also wanted to know the outcome, I though I'd post.
I was told that the dongle cannot decode 5. to analog, but the Dri've Upgrade and the Console Upgrade could (at $80/$80 vs. $5).
Great.
So what I want to know is this:? what chipset or connection is Creative putting in the Dri've Upgrade and Console Upgrade? It seems to me that the card should be doing the decoding, not the type of optical port. If it's getting the signal, then what is the problem? Is is that the flexijack cannot output/input 5. at all, only stereo?
Anyway, the Digital I/O dongle is going back, the thing is useless for my purposes. While I can hear 360 games fine, DVD's on it default to 5. if they have that type of audio, and there is no way to switch it to stereo; it gives me only silence then.
And mods, nothing in my frustration is with you; you seem to be very helpful and responsi've. I just wish the rest of the company would get on the ball.

G550W rear speakers not working (but were previously)

I have a blue light on the wireless receiver but getting no sound to the rear speakers. I've checked wireless interferance, speaker wires, etc. I've restarted everything many times and reset everything to defaults. It was working just fine a week ago. Do these wireless receivers go faulty? Is this a known issue? Where do I send them in for a new receiver? Thanks!! Bill

I have a similar problem too. But mine is that the rear receiver couldn't power up at all. There's no blue light or any activity. I tried changing power chords and power points but still nothing from the receiver. But the problem is that its no longer under warranty and i wonder how much will it cost for service. I really dislike the fact that Creative's website did not have a Customer Service hotline for me to call and enquire about such things. Instead they use online email forms, which are crap if the customer service officers choose to ignore them. I sent my enquiry 2 days ago and till now, there's not even a slightest news from them!! Really lousy service.

Audigy 2 ZS - Rear Speakers Aren't Working

*Audigy 2 ZS - Rear Speakers Aren't Working-Well, before on XP, just restarting, and re-installing my drivers worked flawlessly.
Since XP, I've installed W7 x64 Bit, and the rear never worked, but I didn't mind, as I was always using my headset for gaming, but now that I've stopped gaming so much, and listen to music much more, I've been wanting my rear speakers back!
Anyways, I've tried the nati've, original Creative drivers, no go.
I'm using Daniel K's right now, no go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my rig-
Windows 7 x64 Bit - Ultimate
AMD Athlon II X4 620 @ 2.6GHZ
Biostar A770E3 Motherboard
Corsair DDR3 333mhz 4GB - Two sticks - Dual Channel
BFG Tech GTS 250
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
600W Power Supply

I got this problem when I updated to the new drivers, so that might be your problem since you recently updated. Check to make sure that your speakers settings are for 5. and not stereo. Also make sure that the speaker system is set to receive 6 channel input instead of stereo -- I know my Logitech 5500 system can set to stereo even if it is receiving 6 channels in.
