5.1 sound while in Vista - only Stereo in Game

OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional SeriesDriver: Latest CL DriverGame: America's Army 2.8. uses OpenAL sound 5.1 sound works fine while in Vista, but when I play game it's only in stereo. If I tab out of the game and back to Vista, I can play 5. sound, go back to game only stereo. The game plays 5. sound in Windows XP. I have tried with XP Compatibility Mode on and off - no difference. AA is based on UT. Any suggestions?

If you haven't already make sure you uncheck "System driver" in the AA in game audio settings. Why they called it that is anyone's guess as what that setting does is determine whether the game uses its own OpenAL (which is 3-4 years old, and who knows how many OpenAL updates behind), or uses the OpenAL that gets installed with your cards drivers (or download and install yourself).
It is too bad the AA devs and PB don't get they're collective thumbs out and allow you to replace the one that comes in the game with the latest like you can in BF2.

  • X-Fi Fatal1ty: only stereo sound in WMP11 with 7.1 spakers

    Hi all,
    M problem seems a simple but annoying one: I have a Creative T700 (or was it 7700? anyway, 7. analog speakers of Creative) and I recently upgraded to X-Fi Fatalty. I like using Windows Media Player , but when I play something, sound only comes from front left and right speakers, not from whole seven speakers. but If I play the same thing from Creative MediaSource, 5, everything's just fine.
    I have the latest drivers, I tried every setting of speakers and CMSS 3D but I could not solve the problem. Is there any way to get sound from all speakers in WMP?
    PS: I'm using XP SP2, btw...

    I have a similar issue. If I play video with an AC3 track, the audio is only stereo when played from Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player. Playing the video in the PowerDVD works fine though. It's not too annoying to load up all of my ripped movies in PowerDVD, but it would be nice to get MPC and WMP working correctly.

  • Satellite L650-PSK1JE - can't get 5.1 or sound - only stereo

    I have Toshiba sattelite L650-PSK1JE with mobility radon 5650, and is connected via HDMI to my sony reciever
    whitch is then via another HDMI connected to TV.
    Problem is that I can't get 5.1 or quadrophonic sound from notebook, only stereo.
    I have tried installing drivers from TOSHIBA web site, and also drivers from other sites (everi time deleteng old drivers) and still can't get it to work. Currently have ATI 12.6 drivers. and official conexant audio drivers .
    In sound propertis it says that max number of chanels is 2. But in graphics card manual it is said that it suports up to 7.1 via HDMI.
    Funny thing is that once (but only once) surround sound worked, and i had a choice to select 5.1.
    Is there possibility that i need to do something with mi sony DH520 reciever.

    > Problem is that I can't get 5.1 or quadrophonic sound from notebook, only stereo.
    Im not expert for this but, as far as I know in the past Toshiba has offered notebooks with optical sound port (red light inside the sound-out port) and it was possible to get 5.1 sound activating available 5.1 option in sound settings. Toshiba has offered it on Qosmio and some Satellite notebooks.
    Out of curiosity: do you use original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook?
    I want to buy Pioneer VSX-S500 so this is very interesting for me to know if you will be able to get it work properly.

  • Call of Juarez no surround sound....only ster

    I cannot get surround sound to work in Call of Juarez. I have the latest drivers for my X-fi. I'm running Vista 32. The game is patched and set to OpenAl but still only stereo. I've also noticed when I set EAX to on, the game forces Software EAX to on...don't know why. Any ideas?

    Did the exact same thing to me with my Audigy 4. My solution to fix it was to set the game to DS3D and then feed it through Alchemy. I know the game is supposed to be OpenAL, but this was the only thing that worked for me. I get full 5. surround and EAX out of the game this way.
    BF2 is another game I couldn't get to work in 5.. My fix for that one is to copy both OpenAL32.dll (and renaming it BF2OpenAL.dll) and CT_OAL.dll from the System32 folder (or from SysWOW64 folder if running Vista 64 bit), and paste both into the BF2 folder (overwriting the origianl BF2OpenAL.dll).

  • How to split left and right sound signal from SI READ Stereo?

    How to split left and right sound signal from SI READ Stereo?
    I want to display the left and right sound signal in two graph separately,what shall I do?
    That is how to split 2D arry to two 1D arry?

    Hello,
    Here's another trick...although the "Index Array" suggestion will work, you should investigate using the "Delete from Array" function...you can tell it to delete one of the columns (or rows), leaving one column (or row)...the function will output both the resulting array AND the deleted array, which happens to be the other row/column...this method might not be as intuitive, but it only makes one copy of data in memory, while the Index Array method makes two copies.
    I hope this suggestion helps. I only found out about this trick with "Delete from Array" the other day.
    Have a great weekend!

  • Volume issue with new 30G IPOD and Dock while playing through a stereo.

    Sorry if this has been discussed before, I recently purchased a 30G Video IPOD and Dock. While playing through my Stereo I notice that 1) I have to turn up the volume on the IPOD to more than 50% and volume on the receiver to over 50% also and 2) the varience in volume of some of the songs varies consideably. I played by IPOD at a friends home through his Dock and stereo and he controlled through the volume control only on his stereo (same Onkyo as mine), it overode the IPOD volume control. His Dock is about a year old, seems strange that when I use my Dock on his stereo it requires the volume use on BOTH the IPOD and the Stereo. So it would appear that his older Dock is more convenient to use than my new Dock? The fluctations in volume of the odd song is still evident on his stereo as it is on mine.Any comments anyone? Thanks in advance. Larry

    Make sure Soundcheck on the iPod is enabled.
    I recall a few other people have mentioned the volume control on the iPod affected the volume out the back of the Universal dock.
    I have the older dock and it is not affected by the Volume control of the iPod.

  • Switching off of keyboard sound while dialing

    How can I switch off the keyboard sound while dialing a number? The keyboard sound itself is switched off so no sound will be played while typing an e-mail or text message.
    I am using BB Z10 running OS 10.0.10.90, German language.

    Volume buttons will turn off the dialing tones ( as well as the ringer).  Also setting the phone to silent or vibrate only profile.  Only workarounds I know of for this.

  • Sound problems with vista

    i just purchased a new idea center that i thought was top of the line..but  the sounds comming out  sound like the chipmunks.. How  do i correct this or is it the machine  sound card??

    I agree with Hantula the new audio driver makes all the difference  in the world the download is at
    http://www.softsea.com/download/Realtek-High-Definition-Audio-Vista-Driver.html (It auto downloads)
    There is a High Definition control center/Panel so you can really tweak your sound system 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound.  If Realtek only gives you the driver  leave me a note and I'll zip the control panel to you it's a small file, but it's like getting a new sound card and it's just for Lenovo systems

  • Can't play sounds through speakers but only through earphones

    I got my new iPad2 yesterday and for a while I was able to play sounds through the speakers. Today speaker did not work anymore and I suspect it is related to the upgrade to the new iOS 4.3.3 that I did just before putting it to sleep. Can anybody help?

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and its the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • No sound while video recording on N500!

    Hello! I just bought Lenovo 3000 N500 for my sister who is in Germany...I want to check everything on laptop, because I want her to use it to skype me...Everything is lovely, except I can't get sound while video recording...Is it possible this laptop has a webcam, but no integrated microphone? But  when I  go and use windows sound recorder that comes with Vista it records audio...But I can't get video to work with audio recording in the same time...Anybody there with a solution? Thank you , people!

    Same problem. Here's my solution:
    For now i record video using an app calle "Video FX Live". It records sounds clearly. Native iphone app still doesnt records any sound.
    So this proves the sound issues during video recording or facetime IS an IOS BUG.

  • Import AC3 5.1, export only stereo

    hello
    this is my second issue.
    I have audio files in 48khz AC3 5.1, I can import them to my m footage, but from that moment on it is only stereo.
    Premeiere Elemty V13 does not support AC3 5.1?
    I am also not able to tell PremElemts to use my ASIO, it only shows a WDM-driver which is not active on my computer, there is only ASIO and my window 7 sound does the "bling" on every speaker in the testpanel.
    (my sound equipment does AC3 5.1 I make the surroundfiles by myself, in VEGAS they work correctly -tested this on a computer with my friend...the files are OK)
    togehter with my 60P issue those issues would bring me to ask the community.
    from ADOBE there is no answer except :"we support AC3" but AC3 is not AC3 - there is 5.1 which I use and 2.0 which I dont use.
    brgds
    Peter

    helloyou are answering faster than I could check it.;-)
    I shure will come back if threre are more questions. wont let go someone who knows..!
    I am very surprised about your competence, from which I hope I can make use.surround is not THAT important. the 60P issue was much heavier. my little testvideo looked realy bad in 30P...now that I can export 60P I will try to do some 5.1 videos.
    I will read your instructions and try them. I will let you know.not today, today I am checking other issues.
    thank you very muchbrgds and have a successful new week

    created by A.T. Romano in Premiere Elements - View the full discussionPeter Premiere Elements (any version) does not offer 5.1 channel sound in any of its burn to end products - not Dolby Digital 5.1, AAC 5.1, Windows Media Audio 10 Professional 5.1....I am understanding AC3 as representing Dolby Digital which could be stereo (2 channel) or 5.1 channel (6 channels). But, you do have limited opportunities to export to file a file that has 5.1 channel audio. It is not going to be Dolby Digital 5.1. It will beAAC 5.1 or a Windows Media Audio 10 Professional 5.1 channel. The key to using even those limited possibilities is to be working from aproject preset described for use with 5.1 channel audio. And, not all the Adobe project presets come with 5.1 channel included in its description.The answer has been to make your own project preset to include 5.1 before opening your new project using your user created project preset as the project presetin your new project. I have done extensive and innovative work in the matter of Premiere Elements and 5.1 channel.

  • GD580 + Audigy 2 ZS + Digital Out 5.1 = only stereo

    Alright, I didn't think this would be so complicated, but maybe it is. I just purchased a Creative Inspire GD580 5.1 surround speaker setup. I have an Audigy 2 ZS PCI sound card. I want to connect the digitial out to my speaker setup using the digital out on my Audigy 2 ZS. My main reason for the surround setup is for gaming. So far I have only been able to get stereo sound with both gaming AND DVD movies.
    Anyone who can enlighten me on how to do this, I would be very grateful.
    Thanks!

    Optical and digital coax connections can't carry multichannel audio, only stereo. The only way to get multichannel via digital is if it is an AC3 bitstream. Creative also use a 4-pole connector that can carry multichannel digital but your speakers must have a digital DIN connection to use this feature. Otherwise for games, you must use the analogue connections. For your movies, you can use your digital connection, but you must select SPDIF output in the DVD software and select SPDIF pass through in the soundcard options. This way your speakers will decode the AC3 bitstream.
    You might want to look at this: http://us.creative.com/support/kb/ar...p?l=2&sid=5035
    A suggestion to Creative moderators: I think it would be a good idea for Creative to supply a guide with the sound cards and speakers on the various types of connections. Stuff like the capabilities/limitations of each connection and details on AC3 and the way games output audio. There seems to be so many people confused by the multitude of connection possibilities (I was at first).

  • IPhone 5 making weird sound while using Viber

    My iphone will start making strange low tone beep sound while using viber. Only when I close the app (holding it long at multi-task and clicking the X) will it stop. And then when I open it again it will start making weird beeps again. Please help.

        Hey there kben,
    I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone is having the same issues. This is not a known issue on the device so lets try and take a look to see what is causing it. Did you have this issue before the 7.0.2 updated? Please try a soft reset,http://vz.to/16Qv4Id and let us know if the issues persist.
    If the soft reset does not work, I would recommend performing a hard reset on the device,http://vz.to/17aDIPT.
    Let us know if you need any additional assistance.
