5.1 system, only sound from front left & ri

I'm running a x-fi platinum on vista home premiumif you need/want more specs than that, just let me know. my problem is thus, I've set the system up for 5. surround sound, I've tested the speakers and I'm only able to recieve sound to the front left and right speakers. No sound is being sent to the center, rear left or right. I'm unsure of what to do, I've read that there are other users who arent having any problems with their 5. systems and I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice on what to do. Thanks

lol wow I Just fixed it by accident. heres a screenshot of how.basically, whatever speakers were not getting sound, you uncheck them. its crazy but it works?*edited twice trying to get the pics to show up in the post *http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...nxx984/prt.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...xx984/prt2.jpg?Message Edited by FleshWound on 02--2007:34 AM

Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music??

I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
Console Launchers does not load on boot
Any asistance will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......

Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
That can be found here.......

Only sound from left with sum stack

Hello! When I create a sum stack this happens (only sound from left speaker:
But I want it to look like this:
All the tracks that I used to create Sum 1 worked perfectly (like Sum 2). What to do?

Hi
There is no problem. As you said the notebook supports Line-in; headphone & S/PDIF jack and Microphone jack.
If you want to connect the HiFI or another device you have to choose the headphone & S/PDIF jack. Only this port provides the audio outputting.
The both another jacks provide only the function for signal (sound) receiving!
My notebook provides the same jacks and I have connected the notebook to HiFI (5 speakers) via Y-audio cable like this one:

Were you able to contact Apple, about this issue, while under warranty?
If there is a hardware cause of the problem or other, they may fix it or
at least diagnose the underlying cause...
Your other post was changed into a new thread on its own, here:

TX2000 no sound from front headphone jacks

Hi everyone, Ive started this because I have a major problem with my pavilion tx2000. it is not outputting any sound from the front headphone jacks, it was working okay on windows 7 64 bit but one good day without any aparent reason it stopped working I mean, I used to plug my headphones and immediatly the laptop speakers shout and I coud hear music from any of the two front headphone jacks but one day I did it and the speaker didnt shout and I couldnt hear anything from the headphones, assuming that the headphones were the problem I plugged another headphones that I knew were working fine with the same result.
I was using windows 7 default drivers then I updated the drivers from the official realtek site (I thnk version R267) with no effect, then I installed linux and plugged the headphones, to my surprise audio were outputting from both, the laptop speakers and the headphones, after some configurations I managed linux to output audio only from the headphones but I have to change it manually if I wanted the laptop speakers to work, I then reinstalled windows 7 64 with the updated driivers from realtek, to my surprise realtek audio manager will pop up a message saying "you just plugged and audio device" BUT ONLY IF I PLUG SOMETHING TO THE MICROPHONE JACK!!!!! otherwise it won´t say anything even if I plug my headphones to any of the both headphone jacks, my assumption is that somehow the headphone jacks lost its sensibility and are not detectng the headphones and as so they wont route the audio signal through them, also Ive read on forums that I could change something in the realtek audio manager as "disable front audio jacks" or something but i can´t see that option anywhere in any of the various versions of drivers I´ve tried on the various OSes Ive tried, Also in some point I did notice a red ligth coming out from the first headphone jack, I assumed it was spidf signal or something.
What im thiking is that this is hardware related, that somehow the jacks lost sensibility and cant detect my headphones, the question here is this: I dont mind routing the audio from the laptop speaker to the headphone jacks manually (I mean with some script or something), but is there any way to do so In windows, In linux I could but in windows I just cant seem too get it to work without windows detecting my headphones automatically, or do I have to change the whole front panel in my laptop, it is offcourse out of warranty and I don´t want to keep spending money on this as this is quite an old machine wich Ive invested way too much.
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE.
HP Pavilion TX2000 (tx2032la)

NO sound from front headphone jacks.
No hardware changes made.

Oh and one more thing:
In the Audio tab in Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel, it has this option of
"Use only default devices"
Is it OK to check that?
Does that mean that if I choose Audigy 2 for the sound playback and etc. options, it would "lock" the default as Audigy 2?
Because as I said, I don;t want to go back and forth switching from onboard to Audigy over and over.
I just want Audigy as my sound, and be able to use the headphone jack on the front bevel of my computer.

I get only sound from left with 5.1 sound system on Satellite P100

Hi!
I have a P100-347 and a logitech 5.1 sound system.
The logitech 5.1 has 3 connection: 1 to be plugged to the Line-In, the other to be connected to the Line-out and the 3rd to be connected to the Microphone socket.
When using it on my desktop which has a random SIS sound card it works fine.
Yesterday I've connected it to the P100-347 but I only get sound from the Line-out socket. I have changed the sound preferences to 5.1 but it makes no difference... I only get sound from the Line-out. Is there any drivers update that I should do or is anyone aware of this and how can I fix it??
Just one more thing... With the laptop came this cd "Express Media Player Recovery CD", what is this? Is this something to be installed after runing the "Product Recovery CD" in order to install some drivers or whatever is in this cd comes with the Product Recovery CD as well? Does anyone knows?
Thank you.

Sound from front speakers only

I am using optical audio with Sony DAV-DZ810 home theater and my Apple TV2. The system is new and I am not very familiar. When I watch a trailor (have not watched a movie yet) on ATV2, I notice that sound only comes from two front speakers only. No sound is heard from center and rear speakers.
Can anyone please advise?

Normal.
Trailers do not usually have 5.1 surround.
Not all movies have 5.1 surround either - it should say or show the dolby icon on the movie preview screen and once you choose to rent it often says you are renting film x which has surround surround (or something like that).

I used the Creative Diagnostic application's Speaker Test and after hitting Restore Defaults, the front right speaker is not as quiet, though still much quieter and muffled. Still no sound from the subwoofer.

Only getting sound from the left earphone

I changed headphones to make sure its not a headphone problem but there is no sound from the right earphone. If I press the connector deeper into the socket then both the earphones work fine, however, I have to keep it pressed down with my finger. Does not work of its own accord. I have had it for 13 months now...any tips anyone?

I have had a the same problem, only its my left headphone that doesnt seem to work.
I've tried using dozens of headphones and speakers but the left speaker or headphone never works.
I have found a cheecky way of getting some sound through however. If you push the ipod jack up at an angle to the roof of the ipod jack hole then you should find that it works. Just press down on the ipod jack (nib bit close to the speaker hole).
Only problem with this is that you have to hold the ipod to listen to it and it can become quite tiresome. As soon as you let go it will stop sound going through that speaker.
I did also find out that this happens to quite a few people and most commonly is caused when dirt (e.g. sand) gets into the ipod jack hole.

Sound from front speakers only with X-Fi in Game mo

Hope someone can help me with this. I just installed the latest x-fi drivers for my xtreme gamer on a fresh install of xp and now in when in Game mode I don't get any sound from the rear speakers. When I switch to entertainment mode I get sound from all my speakers. I have a 4. setup and have checked that this is selected in both the creative audio console and the windows control panel.
Is this a problem with the new drivers? Has anyone else got this problem or knows how to fix it's
Cheers.

you have to activate x-fi cmss 3d and try the options within

No sound from front, center and sub

I've got the p7800 7.1 setup. The 4 surround speakers are the only ones producing sound. I've swapped the speakers outputs and all the speakers work fine. I've also changed the input jacks around to see if that fixes it. I tested the sound coming out of my xtreme card with headphones and it works fine. It's a pretty standard setup thats worked before. I'm not sure if the head unit partially died or what. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

<SPAN>i am 00% sure everything is connected correctly. When I use the Creative SB audigy 2 ZS software to test the speakers, on the "channel" buttom, i only hear sound coming from ?front left? and ?front right?, the rears and sub have no sound, I have set to ?6 channel? on the speaker control pad, and have set to 5. on Audigy 2 ZS, I had tried to disable the decoder from the sound card, but the problem still exist.<SPAN> When I set the speaker control pad to ?direct? effect on ?6 channel?, and test with the Audigy, I can hear ?front rightcenter?..all working, but when I listen to MP3 and CD, there are no sound come from the center speaker (on windows xp pro), But when I listen to MP3 and CD on Windows 98 (I have 2 systems installed on my computer), sound come from all speakers.<SPAN> Therefore, I believe that the sound card has problem running on Windows XP pro.

Sound from front right speaker not working, playing out of le

I have a Soundblaster X-Fi Fatalty and it'ss a little under year old with all current drivers. The front right speaker plays no sound but the front left speaker plays what is supposed to come out of the front right. I have it set on the 5. surround sound but it doesn?t work on any other settings. A week ago everything was working fine I have not installed anything new since then. I'm not sure if this is a hardware problem or something set wrong on my computer. Does anyone have a solution or know what may be causing this? Also I checked the speakers, they work fine.Message Edited by Nowise0 on 0-04-2006 03:52 PM

I ghave this same problem with an XFi Elite pro card and a 5. speaker system. To get sound coming out all 5 correct speakers and subwoofer i have to select 7. speaker set up then 5., then 6. and finally 5. again then it works fine - I have to do the selection in THX from game consule mode to get it to work.

Really low sound from rear left spea

I have 5. headphones and when i have them pluged into my xtreamgamer i barly get any sound from my rear left speaker, i know it works because if i plug it in my basic MB soundcard it works fine. Is this a known problem or a fix for this?

I've installed the latest drivers, made sure the the jack is plugged in right (theres only one, that comes from the Monitor or the headphones). The CD only has an installation guide, and i know onboard sound is disabled because i never had one in the first place after a recent reformat. and before that reformat sound came out from both sides normally, so i know something is wrong with the sound card.
EDIT: i just did a random tests, and i found out that the right speaker is working, but it is playing extreamly low. i had to blare up my volume up to 00% and i bearly heard it. i've checked the playback control, and played around with it and still have same problem.Message Edited by Bigs80 on --200606:49 AM

No sound from front centre speaker and sub

I have an Audigy 2 with Creative Inspire 6700 speakers. I have a problem where there is no sound from either the front center speaker or the sub. If I test it with Speaker Setup in Control Panel there is no sound on those two speakers.
Has anyone got any suggestions please?

I have this issue aswell - but do not exspect any help, support from this forum.
This company is crap, I hate them.. They will NEVER be getting a penny from me. The only reason I come here is b/c? I paid a lot of money for my card, and I'm hoping one day for a fix...

Help me pls: No sound on Front Left of Inspire M4500 speaker

Hi everyone,
Pls help with me with this problem.
I just bought a 4.1 Inspire M4500 using for my PC. My sound card driver is Realtek AC97 Audio (version 5.0.0000.690, date 1/6/2006). Unfortunately, after installing, there is no sound on the Front Left speaker. It means that any rear speaker inputed in the FRONT LEFT socket has no sound.
If anyone who knows how to solve this problem pls help me!
Your kind help will always be greatly appricicated!
VienKyTu

AC97 is onboard audio, you didn't say what motherboard you have, but I would think there would be a newer driver update on your MoBos website. But you did say you have a sound card, if it is in fact a dedicated sound card, you need to disable your AC97 audio in your BIOS.
