5.1 speakers only 4/5 speakers working

Hi there, having some problems with my T1600 5.1 speakers system for my PC. Originally could only get 2 speakers + sub working, now downloaded a new driver, but now i can only get 4/5 speakers and the sub working, (the front left speaker wont work). On the Creative surround mixer, it only has the option to have 4 speakers working so dont know how to get past this, as i've set it to 5.1 on the control pannel, but it doesnt change anything. Anyone know, please help (but dont use too complicated language as im not an uber-wizz at these things as you'd probably guessed)
Cheers.

creek,
You may have to check with your sound card manufacturer for special setting to upmix the Stereo to the rest of the speaker.
If you are using Creative 5.1 sound card, you can refer to the link for the CMSS upmix feature.

Only 2 speakers working when playing music?

hi
i just bought a creative inspire P7800 7.1
when i do the speaker test, all speakers work but when i try to play music from an audio cd or mp3, only the right and left speakers work, and the sound isn't loud enough, before i had a 4.1 speaker system and when i playd mp3 or audio cd all 4 spearkers worked and the sound was loud enough..
my question is, how can i make all 7 speakers work together as if they were stereo, so the volume is loud enough?

Nocturno,
What sound card do you have now? If your using a Creative sound card, you can turn on the CMSS feature to upmix Stereo to a 5.1/7.1 soundfield depending on the capability of the sound card. If your using another sound card, you will need to check with the manufacturer if it had such upmix features.

Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Speakers Only the subwoofer and front 2 speakers work HELP!!

Hello,
I have got the "Creative Inspire P5800 5.1 Speakers." I have connected all the speakers to the subwoofer and plugged my Creative Zen Vision : M into the AUX socket on the back of the subwoofer using a jack to jack cable. When i play music only the subwoofer and the front right and left speakers work is there anything i can do to change this? (I have got no Computer involved)
Any help would be appreciated,
Chris.

Hi all do you have any idea to solve my problem?
Currently, I'm using the P5800. My problem is sub can't working. I fix together with SB24Bit External sound card.Previously is working. I'm very proud with the sound,after I decrease the master volume and bass level volume my sub suddenly quit.what happened actually?
-Is that mean I need to change the sub speaker or the coil inside the magnet core is burned?
-or maybe my component circuit like ic,capacitor,diode burned?
If I plug n unplug the power to the sub,I can heard that 'bump'. Is that mean my circuit in good condition or maybe the charge and discharge for capacitor?
Please answer me...
Thank You

Only external speakers work!

Hi there,
A few days ago my internal speakers stopped working. I've tried rebooting, and resetting the PRAM and inserting and removing my headphones from the jeck to try and make it realise they're not plugged in anymore.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my internal speakers working again?
How does the mechanism work that detects when headphones are plugged in?
Thank you,
Abri

Sound coming through speakers connected to an Airport Express has some delay due to the processing involved. This would be annoying when trying to watch video on your computer. This is why iTunes won't use Airport Express connected speakers when watching video.
There is a third-party application called Airfoil. It allows any sound to be sent to an Airport Express.

Creative Inspire T900 problem, just 2 front speakers work when connect to a laptop

Hi everybody,
I have just bought a Creative Inspire T7900 system, it's in good quality I think.
But I just got a laptop without 5.1/6.1 or 7/ sound card ( one output only ), therefore i cannot use the 7.1 Audio Cable.
I tried to use a stereo-to-stereo cable to connect my laptop to the input in the wired remote but only the front satellite speakers work. Is that a problem with the Wired Remote ? Or the problem with the system ?
Can I laptop use all the speakers ?
Please help me, thank you very much.

thanhvtd86,
There isn't any problem with the speaker system nor your laptop and it's normal. Stereo consists of only 2 channel and that's why you are experiencing output from only the two front speaker. You won't be able to utilize the full capability of the speaker if you don't have a 7.1 capable soundcard.

Toshiba L505-ES5018 Speakers work in headphone jack... headphones do not

I started having an issue with sound in my headphones last night. So, I've been brainstorming today, and this is what I've come up with.
First, the sound issue itself... The sound is sometimes muffled, sometimes garbled, and sometimes comes from only one headphone speaker. This is resolved by pulling the headphone jack half the way out.
Second, diagnostic attempts... I tried several pairs of headphones. They all produce some variation of the same issue. However, there does not appear to be an issue with the computer speakers plugged into the same jack (I verified by using the same segment in the same movie to test the sound of each device). No sound issues with the speakers. Also, this is no sound issues with a set of USB headphones.
Third, attempts to resolve the issue... I've been to all the forums I have found through Bing to troubleshoot. I've cleaned the jack to rule out lint being the issue. I've updated the drivers (they were up to date). I've uninstalled and allowed Windows to reinstall the RealTek drivers. And, I've checked to make sure the Network Adapter was disabled. They only thing I haven't done is physically removed the battery and power source from the computer and pressed the on/off button to discharge any remaining charge (freaks me out a lil).
My issue differs from other's description of similar issues, because the speakers work when plugged into the same jack. Any thoughts on how to resolve this? I bought the computer Feb 2010.

I wouldn't rule out the port just because the speakers work. Since all the headphones were having some variation of the issue, it seems plausible to me that there's an issue with the port.

Trying to make external speakers work

Hi just trying to make some external speakers work. I have them plugged into the output port.When I go to sound preferences they line-out option is missing. The only option I have is Built in speakers. I realize they will not work if I dont have this option so I just need help making that option appear so that I can select it. Hopefully that made sense lol
Thanks in advance for the help. I really appreciate it!

First, this is the Photoshop (full version) forum - you may be able to get more pertinent and specific help down at the Photoshop Elements forum:

Generally speaking, one edits image files then saves the results on one's hard drive, so the photos don't "go into" Photoshop, but rather they are just files on the disk. However, I'm not sure whether you used a feature of Elements I may not be familiar with. You may be best off asking Elements experts.

I can't hear caller/they can hear me/speakers work fine on Vmail and Ipod

I can't hear a caller when I place a call or receive a call.
They can hear me.
Speakerphone does not work either
The speakers work fine for listening to Voicemails and IPod songs.
What gives?

I took it to the Apple Store today.
The guy at the Genius Bar took it apart and reset it...said he had no clue what was wrong and gave me a new phone. Oh well...

I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.
 Cheers, Tom
