5.1 sound on Windows Vista

I have the T6060 speaker system and I've recently installed Windows Vista..But although I've download drivers for Vista and I have configured my system to 5.1,sound comes only from the 2 front speakers.What's the problem?

Exactly the same thing happens with Soundblaster Live 24-bit External USB sound-card under Vista, even with the latest vista drivers. The Creative speaker test allows you to click on each of the 5 speakers and they beep fine, but when you use the SoundCard in Windows Media Player, MMJB or iTunes, all you get are the left/right speakers and the sub-woofer. No centre or rear speakers working. This is not only with Soundblaster, my Realtek HD Audio gives exactly the same problem. Something to do with CMSS not being implemented YET in the drivers. You would have thought it would be fixed by now, it is about 6 months since the stable Vista Release Candidate was provided to the manufacturers. Mike.

T61 no sound after Windows (Vista) update (?)

I have purchased a T61 in December 2007. The sound has always been low and now i have no sound at all. I cannot hear files locally or on the Net -- or any of the computer sounds.
i realize now that it has happened after a Windows (Vista) update. I have done every step but 6.
I have Speakers (SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio). The sound keeps defaulting to to Line 2 Muv Enum (Virtual Cable).

No external sound in Windows Vista Ultimate, using Leapord Boot Camp

I'm using a mac pro. I had this problem pre-leopard, and I thought leopard would possibly fix it, but it hasn't. The only sound I get when I'm in Windows comes out of the internal speaker. The externals don't work . But, they do work in OS X, so I know it's not the speakers. I tried re-installing the drivers, and that didn't work.
In device manager, the realtek High Definition Audio device looks to be installed correctly.

And in Vista don't forget to change the audio output in Vista itself.
Go into the control panel and choose the sound panel.
There are 3 tabs with each their audio out, make sure to choose the right audio output one and set it as default.

No sound in windows vista ultimate 64

Hi ... I have the X-FI xtremegamer fatality pro series soundcard. I've installed the driver fine but I get no sound whatsoever from any of the output from the card. I have tried everything from disabling onboard to using headphones to test to moving the card to the pci slot. Evertime I tried something I always reinstall vista just incase. This is getting really frustrating for me. So please anyone help me, really desperate. System config below: Core 2 duo E6600Adata 2x GB kitP5B Deluxe Wifi/AP Bios 226XFX 8800 GTX2 x 320 Seagate Dri'veBenQ DVD-RW Dri'veLogitech G7Logitech G Help please!

thanks for replying..... I'm using the latest driver from the site X.0004 for the x-fi xtremegamer fatality pro. The Sound card is detected just fine. The card shows up correctly, but its just that there are no sound coming out from any of the line out. If I play an mp3 or a movie, I can see that the bar is moving under "Sound" in control panel. I've tested it using headphones etc. The card itself is fine because I tested it on windows xp, well the store where I bought it from did. So its not a hardware problem.

No Sound in Windows Vista run with Boot Camp

Sound works fine in OSX, everything else works fine in windows except there is no sound output. Nothing comes out of the main speaker and nothing comes out when I plug in head phones. The Sound Device manager tells me that the speaker is working and the audio level indicators respond with pulsation when audio is played letting me know that the system at least understands it should be playing a sound. How do I fix it?

HOLY SMOKE!!!!! I found the ANSWER! Install these drivers using "have disk" and VIOLA

Equium A110-276: Cannot install virtual sound for Windows Vista

When i'm on xp, i got a toshiba virtual sound. when i've installed vista, i can't install the toshiba virtual sound. it says "virtual sound doesn't support your computer". anyone know why? the toshiba virtual sound i'm installing came from toshiba value added package for vista.

I have downloaded the value added package but there is no virtual sound.
If the Toshiba value added package does not include the virtual sound then there is no much to do
By the way: did you select the right unit? Your notebook should is a part of the PSAB2E series.
Be sure you have downloaded the software for the right notebook

ITunes seems to disable (screw up) my sound in Windows Vista

I think I've narrowed this down to iTunes specificly. Whenever I run iTunes and let it sit paused it will cause the sound in Vista to stop working with the only cure seem being a reboot.
The weird thing is that iTunes can play music all day long with no problem, IF it is actively playing music. Or it seems fine to play music and then close iTunes between use and everything continues to work. Or it can stay running and paused IF a another application is actively using the sound. But with no active sound source and iTunes in pause mode it will disable the sound at some random point. Sometimes withing thirty minutes sometimes a couple hours.
When the sound stops, it must be a conflict of some kind, because iTunes won't run the progress bar. So it's not situation of muted sound. And neither will anything else play music when this happens.
Finaly, no other paused audio application seems to make this happen. Just iTunes.
It doesn't make sense to me.

I have the exact same problem! I have seen quite a few similar posts on the net, but nobody seems to acknowledge that it is a real problem. No solutions or "let me get back to yous".

Sound Problems using Windows Vista.

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with the sound in Windows Vista with my iMac. I install BootCamp Drivers (last version) and the sound system works with this drivers, but, when it's playing music, I always listen to a very strong noise. I don't have any microphone active (actually I desactivate all about input sound in control panel, to considerate where is the problem)
So, please, Can someone help me?
Thank you so much...

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP & Vista.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP or Vista, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.

Windows Vista major sound issues

On my 2 month old Unibody Macbook, I'm experiencing severe sound issues with bootcamp 2.1 in windows vista. While playing games such as Halo 2 or Fallout 3, which the macbook graphically handles exceptionally well for a laptop, the sound crackles and often disappears! To get the sound back I have to reboot my macbook. Help, this is extremely annoying, and apple won't do a thing about it!!! Please help!

Creative Audigy 2 and Windows Vista: Sound volume turns down when I try to turn it

I have a strange problem with my audio in Vista. I have a Creative Audigy 2 and Creative 6700 speakers. My full system specification is below but please note I did not have this issue in my previous Vista build - its only happening since I did a reinstall. Anyway, when I swich on the speakers using the remote control unit for the 6700 speakers the sound comes on but then it turns down. I have to then increase the volume by a large amount for it to start playing sound again and then turn it down to listening volume. This issue is not application specific - it happens in everything: Winamp, WMP, games, etc etc?I'm using [color="#000000"]Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002 and I've tried reinstall several times. I've tried doing diagnostic startup etc using msconfig in case something was conflicting and its still happening.

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

Audigy SE & Windows Vista Home Premium - No sound after sl

Hi Everyone,
I installed an audigy se card in my media center since the onboard audio wasn't supported in Vista anymore. Sound (at least 2.) seems to be all good until I put the machine to sleep while in Media Center. When I wake up the machine, there is no audio in media center, regardless of how much I fiddle with the volume/mute buttons. The only way I can restore audio is if I quit media center and reopen it (for a media center pc, this is sort of a pain).
Has anyone encountered this and what was the solution? Thanks in advance!
Here are my machine specs:
- 2.54 GHz P4
- ASUS P4PE-BP
- GB RAM
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
- ATI TV Wonder Elite
- Audigy SE (with latest vista drivers)

I have exactly the same problem, with exactly the same solution (quit and restart Media Center).
Does anyone have any ideas? I have looked at BIOS options as well as power options, driver and audio in Vista.
I find it odd that restarting Media Center fixes the problem. The audio card must have awoke from sleep sucessfully? No reboot or anything else is needed.
Athlon 64 3000+
ASUS A8V-VM SE
GB DDR 3200
Radeon x550
Audigy SE
Netgear WG3T
Kworld dual tuner 30 PCIe
Only similarity is Media Center and Audigy SE!?!
Latest drivers for everthing.
Thanks!Message Edited by DarrenGraves on 06-4-200704:06 PM

Windows XP hard drive in a Windows Vista computer.No sound n

I bought a brand new computer that had Windows Vista installed on it. I
dont like Vista so I took the hard dri've out and replaced it with a brand
new hard dri've. I then loaded Windows XP Home onto the hard dri've.
Everything went perfectly fine EXCEPT there is no sound. I get an error
that says that I don't have a driver installed and gives me a (CODE 0)
error. Any advice on what to do now?

Ok first note, you should NEVER do what you did. Never take out the hard dri've just to get rid of an Os or program. there are much safer ways of installing Xp. You should have just formatted the HD and installed XP that way. Anyway, what you might be able to do is uninstall the drivers for Everything and reinstall them. The way you did it is flawed because the Hardware is still thinking its running on Vista and you pretty much confused it.

No sound on Satellite Pro A120 with Windows Vista

Hi
I have had to reinstall my Vista operating system and rebuild my A120 Satellite Pro from the revovery disk.
Most things are fine but I cant get any sound from the speakers of headphine jack.
I have checked andit says that the Realtek High Definition Sound Driver is installed and working correctly.
My volume buttons are up high on the mixer and on Windows Media Player.
The driver is Realtek 6.0.1.5317
Help would be much appreciatesd

Nothing through the speakers, nothing via the headphone socket. Volume bar goes up and down with the music as it should do when you play an audio file. Tried the Windows Vista built in driver, the Realtek ones from the Toshiba site.
Last thing to try is rebuilding to the XP support disk, making sure the volume is right at the tip and unmuted, and try reinstalling Vista again, which is tonight's job, but I'm not feeling hopeful about it. Like I said before the toshiba unmute tool didn't do anything for me.
