Adjusting volume for rear speakers in a 5.1 surround sound system

Hi,
I have a basic Logitech X-540 5.1 sound system spakers. I am trying to point the rear speakers to where I'm sitting, but I cannot hear much from them except in certain songs or videos. I was wondering if there's any way that I can adjust the volume on the rear speakers so that I can hear them more?
Thanks in advance.

Songs are stereo, so use the best upmixing method.
Notice the "1" for rear left & right - change that to e.g. 1.5, to be louder.

Adjusting Volume For Remote Speakers

Is there any other way to adjust the volume of my airtunes remote speakers other than dragging the mouse and sliding the volume knob on the upper left hand corner? My F3, F4, and F5 keys along with the volume control key by the time doesn't adjust the music from my airtunes, only for my powerbooks built in speakers, which aren't playing the music (as they shouldn't be).
Also, just a side note that Apple should add a sleep timer into iTunes since lots of people enjoy falling asleep to music.

Using the Command (Apple) key and up or down arrow should adjust the volume in iTunes when it is the active application. However, I use a Keyspan Remote (http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/urm17a/) to adjust my volume since my computer is in a different room when I'm in bed.
As to falling asleep to music I create a separate playlist that I drag about an hour of songs to and set to play when I go to bed.

Adjusting volume for multiple QT clips

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it! I have about 100 5 or so minute QT clips at various volumes. They are a series of mini-tutorials for language learning. Most are about the same volume, but when some were recorded, the volume was much too high. I'd like to standardize the volume for all of them. None need volume boosting. Can QT batch adjust volume for multiple clips? Or is there some standard process so that the viewer isn't constantly adjusting the volume (apart from re-recording!).
Thanks,
Tony

Highlight all the clips you want to adjust, then press Apple "+" or Apple "-" to raise and lower the levels in increments of 1, and Apple "[" and Apple "]" to raise and lower the levels in increments of 3.

Adjusting speaker volume for rear speak

Hi there.
Just bought my Creative X-FI XtremeGamer sound card, which really is awesome compared to my onboard. The problem I'm having though is that I cannot seem to find any way to increase the volume output of the rear speakers and/or reduce the volume of the front speakers so they balance out better. Currently my fronts are as loud as my back speakers near enough, and all I can hear is the fronts as I sit foot away from them and 5ft away from rears, so I'd like to reduce the dbA of the front's and increase the dbA from the rears.
Is this possible? As I've searched for a solution and looked through the Creative Audio Console and cannot find a way to do it.
Thanks for any help!

do you have the THX Setup Console?
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\THX Console\THXConsole.exe"
it lets you calibrate the speakers strength, bitrate and placement

Is there a way to adjust the bass and treble on my iMac Power PC sound system?

Is there a way to adjust the bass and treble on my iMac Power PC G5 sound system? It has a lot of volume (more than my JBL speakers).

No, but iTunes has an Equaliser that enables you to do that.

Help needed for Cambridge Soundworks DDT 2200 5.1 surround theatre system with Windows

<font face="Verdana" size="4">I have the above system connected to a HP Compaq computer running windows XP. The sound system worked perfectly with windows ME. I am unable to get the three front speakers working.<font face="Verdana" size="4">My sound is through Realtek HD Audio rear connection. The two rear speakers and the woofer work ok. Any ideas how to get the three front speakers connected and working. Thanx

That is something you'd normally set on the soundcard or onboard audio, so you'd probably have to check Realaudio's settings or support for advice on how to get 5. working from it.

Need to adjust volume for 20+ tracks at once

Is it possible to slide the volume down for 20+ tracks all at the same time? If so, how???

I don't believe there is. I certainly haven't heard of anything like that.
You can lower the Master Volume and then raise the volume of the other 10 Tracks.
Or, if everything except the volume level is set on the 20 Tracks, you can export them as one (mute the other 10), then drag the file back in and it'll be one Track. Of course that could take as much time as adjusting each Track individually.

Adjusting volume for incoming calls - not the ringer

Just got a new 4S and although the "sounds" ringer is turned all the way up, I cannot hear people when they speak. Is there a separate setting for incoming sound?

Hello,
I would love to help you with this issue.
To change the volume of your caller's voice all you need to do is, when in a call, press the volume buttons. The top one to make it louder the bottom one to make it softer.
I hope this helps!
Regards,
Jake

Connecting a TV to a surround sound system for audio

I just bought a basic sound bar, and hooked it up with the optical cable. I have it working, but the volume is not controlled by the TV, but by the special remote that came with the sound bar. Is there a way to have the TV volume control change the volume?

No, I don't believe it's possible with a soundbar connected via optical cable.

Looking to find rear speakers & sub for system.

Hello,
I'm hoping someone could give me some suggestions for my problem. I've got a stereo receiver which I have connected to the line out of my sound card. I've also got an X-Fi Extreme Music sound card and I'd like to figure out how I could just add some rear speakers and a sub woofer to my system. I do not want to replace my front speakers which are connected directly to my receiver, but I'm looking for a speaker system that could act as rear surrounds and a sub. I'm thinking possibly one of the 2.1 speaker systems which I could connect directly to the rear out of my sound card. The next problem would be the length of the cables since they would have to be at least 20ft in length.
Might anyone have a suggestion on which system would fit my needs?
Thanks,
Jeff

There is a very good reason why it tells you your card isn't supported, that's because it isn't,?This download?is an?application for Creative Sound Blaster? X-Fi? series of audio devices. It restores 3D audio and EAX? effects for certain DirectSound?3D games in Microsoft? Windows Vista?. For more details, read the rest of this web release note.
This download supports the following audio devices only:

?Alchemy was written to translate DirectSound3D software calls to OpenAL hardware calls, and unfortunately the Xtreme Audio doesn't have the hardware, the EMU20K2?(all that card basically is is a renamed SB Li've 24 bit/Audigy SE, neither of which have the hardware either).

Rear speakers no so

I havn't been able to get sound from my rear speakers.
I recently moved my entire system to a new room and reinstalled windows. Thus I reinstalled the Audigy software, and I updated it. (Along with the drivers of course)
I have an Audigy X-Gamer and Logitech Z-560 speakers.
I have checked and re-checked the connections in the speaker wire and checked the connection from the audio card to the speakers. I have also made sure that MDSS is on and spent endless time checking my settings, I just dont know what else to do. Oh I also tried putting the black output for the rear speakers into the jack for the front speakers, as the front speakers work fine, still nothing. I can faintly hear the rear speakers on the "front left, front right, rear left, rear right" test, but in order to hear them I have to turn up the volume really loud and put my ear to it.
Any ideas on what to do to fix this problem? Thx.Message Edited by SPYoptics on 07-30-2005 2:3 AM

Fix for rear speaker failure. I have older Altec Lansing ACS54 speakers - four satellites and subwoofer. The rear speakers produced no sound until (voila!) I enabled CMSS 3D. Here's how:
click START
highlight ALL PROGRAMS
highlight CREATIVE
highlight SOUND BLASTER LIVE!
open EAX CONSOLE
click CMSS 3D tab
select ENABLE CMSS 3D (check box)

Optical audio and surround sound speakers for my Mac Pro

In the back of my Mac Pro there's an in and out for Optical Audio. What is this and are there any surround sound speaker systems out there that will plug into it? Most surround sound speakers seem to require a PC-style triple-input, with three jacks (Green to front, Orange to centre and Black to rear channels). Very few surround sound systems have the additional option for a single headphone socket-style jack, and I'm not sure if they will work terribly well with this single connection.
Can anyone recommend some speaker choices, particularly in the UK, that will give me good surround sound from the optical audio or single headphone jacks? Many thanks.

You might want to look at a device called the Griffin FireWave: [http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/firewave]
It connects to your MacPro via firewire, and has the green/orange/black jacks out to a standard 5.1 speaker system.
It comes with a software application that lets you customize the sound, and also synthesize surround from mono, stereo, etc., sources.
It would definitely open up your choices for speaker systems. I'm using one with a Klipsch 5.1 Promedia set of speakers. Works and sounds great.

How to make line-in come out rear speakers? (SB Live! 5

Card is SB Li've! 5. DE and OS is XP SP2:
================================
I have tried everything that I can think of. It was working fine until I installed a program which screwed up my mixer settings. I have loaded the default mixer settings. Now my rear speakers only work for wave devices, but not line-in.
Is there a way to make line-in come out both the front and rear speakers, or set the rear speakers to duplicate the front speakers (losing the surround feature)?
Failing that I will have to resort to plugging both sets of speakers into the one socket via an adapter - I don't wish to do this as I had this working for many months.
Please help.

Weird. I just installed Creative PlayCenter from the driver CD and after the reboot, line-in now comes out the rear speakers again. Must've been some system files updated or something, because CMSS is still off according to PlayCenter. When I turn CMSS on, the line-in stops coming out rear, but turning it off makes it work!!!! So it's sorted, but still have no idea why it screwed up and why I needed PlayCenter installed to change the CMSS settings.

OK , Perhaps i didnt Say this at first But, My speakers,souncard,etc. all Were working fine previously. Just This Past week or so i have lost sound to my rear speakers. The speakers i am using are logitech Z-5500's. As i stated earlier, i can switch speaker connections at soundcard and get sound from the rear speakers. I have tried these speakers on another computer(audigy LS card) and they work on that one without any problems. I have tried the speaker settings console where it shows you a diagram of 5. layout and sound coming from each speaker as it goes around the diagram,it is showing sound symbol for rear speakers but, no sound out of speakers in rear. The creative diagnostics has been run and everything passes in it and shows no problems.
