5.1 Speaker Setup not stick

I just recently got a set of Logitech X-530 speakers. My sound card is the Soundblaster Li've! 5. card. I have verified that I've got the speakers plugged in correctly. I went to the speaker setup in the Creative software and set it to 5. (without digital output). At this point everything works great. However, after I reboot my computer the speaker setup goes back to 2 speakers. I have verified (using Creative's Auto-Update Acti'veX Control) that I have the latest drivers for my sound card. Is this a SB issue or a Windows issue? What do I need to do so that my computer will remember my speaker setup?Thanks.

I do not see a "Synchronize with Control Panel" option in the Surrond Mixer settings anywhere. Where should I be looking for it's
Also, after I've set the speakers to 5., I can go into Control Panel\Sounds and Audio Devices and the speaker setup is configured properly in there. As far as I can tell everything is ok. Until I reboot. Then it reverts back to 2 speakers.
It's more of an annoyance issue than anything else. Since I can go into the settings and switch it back. I would just rather not have to do that everytime I reboot my machine.
On Speaker Settings, not on Surround Mixer.

  • Simple speaker setup for ATV?

    I understand if I get bumped because this post isn't ATV-related... But I argue that other ATV users might find this thread helpful. So...
    I purchased a new HD TV, one that I will use solely with Apple TV. I want better audio than the built-in speakers. Since I'm not going to need AM/FM radio, CD player, etc., I don't need or want a traditional AV receiver.
    I want a 2-speaker speaker setup that can accept an optical audio connection (from the Apple TV)... and that's it. I've seen computer-type speakers that accept a 2.5mm audio cable, from the headphone-out of the computer. The audio signal runs to one speaker, which is the "parent" speaker -- it accepts the audio from the computer, the power input to the speaker system, and then an audio cable that runs audio to the other speaker. I want the same setup... except that it sends an optical audio signal.
    Does anyone know of a speaker system that will do this? I don't need all of the bells and whistles of a traditional receiver/speaker setup. Many other Apple TV users out there might have the same, simple needs.

    I want a 2-speaker speaker setup that can accept an optical audio connection (from the Apple TV)...
    This may be much more than you want, but is I believe what currently replaces my Logitec Z680 which I am still using on my old PPC G5. It is a 505 watt RMS optical input amplified speaker system with 5.1 DD/DTS/Pro Logic II decoder built into the control head. Believe the street price is in the $325-$350 range if interested.

  • I have a first edition mac mini and internal speaker are not enabled yet.. what can I do?

    I have a first edition mac mini and internal speaker are not enabled yet.. what can I do?

    If you are using an HDMI connection, go to Apple / System Preferences / Sound and see if you can select the Built-In Speakers?
    If you have headphones, buds or something plugged into the Audio Output jack, unplug it.
    If not then perhaps the micro switch inside the Audio Output jack is stuck? In that case, try plugging and unplugging some headphones, buds or something in and out a few times to see if it will un-stick.
    If it will not un-stick, then you will need to make an appointment for service.

  • Adobe customization settings not "sticking"

    Hi
    We are using ProSystem's PDFlyer program. Acrobat settings does not "stick" within the program. We tested adding other toolbar elements to quick tools, and changing Acrobat Preferences in the Edit
    > Preferences menu, and none of the customizations we made were still active the next time we re-opened Acrobat.
    Other customizations within the PDFlyer program work just fine.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello community,
    it's amazing that the longstanding problem seems to stay down to the present day and neither Adobe nor admins found a solution for that. :-(
    My plain intention was to enable enhanced security, preconfigure trust and lock down all settings. The best way would be to create a patched and transformed msi package of Adobe Reader 9 which can be deployed by Windows group policys. After applying the msp to the msi file I opened the msi in Adobe Customization Wizard 9 and made the desired modifications, in particular by adding a recursive folder in Privileged Locations Exempt. The test setup ran without any problems. To verify the modifications in Reader I checked it under "Edit / Preferences / Security (Enhanced)" and wondered why the exempt list still was empty.
    In the Adobe "Enhanced Security and Trusted Locations" Guide there is specified where the enhanced security settings are stored in Windows Registry. At least the Privileged Locations Exempt entries should be stored in HKCU. I checked this up in registry of my test installation and found these entries in HKLM instead. So it seems that Adobe Reader would ignore these entries and it is expected that all settings are stored in HKCU indeed. But in that case the settings are only recognized if the user's interface is not locked down.
    So my questions are: Did anybody managed it? How is it possible keep preconfigured settings and lock down user's interface of Enhanced Security Settings at the same time? Is it better to avoid using Customization Wizard and deploy the settings via reg files instead?
    Any responses would be appreciated.

  • Will Creative Ever Support The 6.1 Speaker Setup In Vista?

    The subject line says it all. I'm disappointed that I have a 6. speaker setup with my X-Fi card that worked great in Windows XP, even the x64 edition. Now since I've updated to Vista, the rear center speaker is no longer enabled. I know the current driver set has a note on this, but just wondering if we will ever get 6. surround support again.

    alexs3d2 wrote:
    No, because Microsoft doesn't support it.
    I'll elaborate on that a bit for you. The 6.1 surround setup is not supported in Vista. This means that (barring some bizzare workaround/emulation effort by Creative), you won't see 6.1 in Vista no matter what sound card/onboard chip you use. It's not up to Creative. Sorry. Microsoft could re-introduce 6.1 with a Vista update. I don't know if it's feasible to do so, but I wouldn't expect anything till Service Pack , as my guess is that would require some major sound architecture changes.

  • 2.1 speaker setup on the SoundBlaster Live24 Extern

    I have a 2. speaker setup but I can not figure out how to configure the Li've24 for 2.

    I have a pair of Swans M-200's and a Totem Thunder Subwoofer. I have the Swans plugged into the front L+R output and the Subwooder plugged into the Sub/Center output on the Li've24 external. When I select 2/2. speaker output it only shows me the left and right speakers and the test tone will only produce sound out of the front left and right speakers and not the subwoofer. When I click on the "Bass Managment" tab everything including "Bass Redirect" is greyed out. The only way thus far I have been able to get the subwoofer to work at all is if I select 5. then the test tone will produce sound out of the subwoofer.

  • Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs

    FSoundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs? ?
    Greetings..
    Running into a bit of a issue here I can't seem to fix. I've gone through the troubleshooting guides and FAQs already and they aren't resolving the issue.
    My normal setup is a couple of desktop speakers plugged to the rear of the card through the standard ports (non-digital) and a headset with mic plugged to the device in front that includes volume controls for both mic and speakers.
    I've just did a complete reinstall of Windows XP (32 bit) including everything up through SP3 and a reinstall of the drivers and associated software applications for the card as well.
    The problem I am having is that I can no longer make the rear speakers (desktop speakers) play when plugged in. The 2 headset speakers still play just fine that are plugged in the front however.
    What should I do to resolve this issue so that I can have both the desktop speakers and headset speakers both playing? I'm fairly sure I'm just missing a setting somewhere but for the life of me I can't figure where to fix this.
    Thank you,
    Culann HS

    JRe: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs0 I'm afriad that the CMSS3D option did not work? ? I still cannot get any speakers to play out of the rear of the soundcard.
    As I said before, the goal is to try to get sound to play out of both the headset and the speakers attached to the rear of the soundcard simuntaneously.
    The headset is plugged into one of those devices in the front that is in a 5 & /4" bay that has the individual knobs for adjusting volume for the headset and outbound levels for the microphone.
    The speakers are plugged into the back of the soundcard and do not play any sound in any of the sockets, starting from the firewire port and counting 3 over.
    Any suggestions? I? thought it might have something to do with the setting of the speakers from control panel - > Sounds and Audio Devices -> Advanced and picking the right choice there. No luck however. Same for the Creative Speaker Settings as well.
    I'm at wits end and I'd be very thankful to whoever can resolve this for me. =)

  • Photoshop and CS6 Epson Page Settings do not stick

    I am using Photoshop Extended CS6 on a Mac with OS 10.7.4 and the latest driver for an Epson 7800 just downloaded from the Epson site. In the Print Settings dialogue "Page Setup" defaults to "Roll Paper - Banner" and any other selection such as sheet does not stick when saving a printing preset. Once selected, it appears to stay for one print, but returns to roll paper so that it needs to be reset with every print.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, have you found a solution?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Ed,
    I noticed the same thing with the margins, however, as I use mostly large sheet sizes (I had the paper curl of rolls) that does not affect the lack of a sticky setting for "sheet" when I save a preset.
    I had three conversations this week with Epson Technical Support. The last one being today with Ron who took control of my desktop and found out for himself exactly what I was saying. He then spoke to others in his department and came back with the response, "apparently this is an issue we are aware of and it will be fixed." "When," I asked. He didn't know and said to just keep checking for an update their drivers page.
    Personally, I will not hold my breath. I would suspect that in the grand scheme of things, this bug is of very low priority.

  • Two speaker setup, Audio is strange please he

    It appears that my speaker setup has some how gotten corrupted, as my bass only shoots out of one speaker and the audio for both the left and right channel only kicks out of the other speaker. Seeing as my speaker setup up is only a two speaker setup I would like the bass and audio to be coming out of both speakers as it was originally. I've checked and my speaker setup is set to two stereo desktop speakers so I don't know what I should do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. My cpu is running a Sound Blaster Li've card.

    That said, the laptop speakers are playing stereo.
    Hello. that would suggest that the integrated audio system is working okay and that the problem is in the jack or external device. There is no processing that I know of that would send 2 channels to the speakers but combine them into one channel into the jack.
    If you want to replace the jack you would replace this I/O circuit board.
    For a workaround there are many inexpensive usb audio jacks available.
    If you want to test some more, switch to the Windows native audio driver.
    1. Open the Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the Windows search box).
    2. Expand the "Sound, video & game controllers" and right click on "IDT High Definition Audio Codec".
    3. Select to "Update Driver Software".
    4. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. Put a check in the box "Show compatible hardware" if not already checked.
    7. In the list of devices, click "High Definition Audio" (the native driver).
    8. Click "Next".
    9. On the Update Driver Warning box, click "Yes" (install the driver).
    10. Restart the laptop if prompted. If not prompted, then no need to restart.
    [To get back to the IDT driver,  do it again but reverse the names in steps 1 and 6.]
    If it doesn't work with the native driver then it is pretty surely hardware failure.

    Also, the balance feature in settings is working and allows me to selectively control the volume of the two external speakers.Which suggests it's how sound files is being processed rather than the output jack itself.
    If you still feel that it is a software issue could perform a system recovery. Doing so will fix the issue unless it is due to hardware failure.

  • WVC210 Speaker-Out not working

    I can hear sound through my WVC210 Camera, but I can not get the speakers to work.  I have enabled two-way audio and clicked the mic button through the web browser.
    Does anyone have any pointers?
    Thanks

    As you have mentioned that you are able to Here the sound from you camera, but the speaker is not working. As you have already logged in to the router setup page and check the box Enable Microphone, the i think it should work. Have you tried with the other computer? Try different computer and check if the speaker is working or not. If it dosent then i think it might be the problem with the Speaker.

  • When I switch desktops on iMac the speaker does not switch with it

    When switching desktops, the internal speaker does not work from one to the other.  I have to insert a ear piece end into the jack to get it to work....it is as if it is on mute when the speaker was working fine on the other desktop.  I checked the settings for sound on both desktops and nothing appears amiss.  What should I do?  I can get it to work by inserting the end into the jack but it is annoying for it to be done everytime I switch to my desktop.  I'm muted until I do!

    Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

    In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.
