Audigy 2 Value center speaker not working?

So I have vista ultimate x64 and logitech g51 5.1 speakers. The center channel does not work at all. It's pretty much a brand new set and swapping out the speaker does not help, so I think it is a sound card/ driver problem. The problem is in the sound test area, and is not just because I am playing 2.1 sound without CMSS. Does anyone know what is up?

it sounds to me like you have your matrix button pushed in. This button will try to make sound come out of all speakers. If it is depressed and you are testing a five to 1 sound, it will not play through the center channel. I have an old set of logitech speakers and with the matrix button pressed in, I get no center channel because it is trying to upsample stereo to all five speakers. Try that please.
Thanks

  • Center speaker not working w/ Audigy 1

    So I just bought a brand new set of 5. Logitech Z-5500 Digital speakers.
    I have everything plugged into correctly. The speakers into the subwoofer where they are supposed to go, the rear/front connections on the sound card and the digitial out for the center/sub connection.
    I have both windows and the surround mixer settings set to 5. sound, yet it seems the audigy isn't allowing it to work for some reason.
    When I do the test via my speakers control (it has it's on "test" to test the speakers, etc) it plays fine out of the center speaker when it's supposed to.
    However when I do the test through the surround mixer, it doesn't work through the center speaker, it just seems to go mute when it gets to it.

    i have the same problem, switching the z5500s to PLII movies or music works for most things. when i play games though, i get no sound from the center channel unless i switch to 6 channel direct mode on the z5500s, then i get center channel sound, but at the same time the rear channel sound plays at about .5x the strength of the front. its very frustrating. when i walk away from someone i hear them louder than when i am looking right at them

  • Audigy 2 Value digital out not work

    I'm trying to use the digital out on my audigy 2 value card using my onkyo system (6. with a receiver). at first i tried using a stereo /8" male to /8" male cord with one end using a /8" to rca adapter and hooking that up to my coax input on my receiver. using that, i was only able to get 2.0 sound (no sub signal). I have my receiver set to 'direct' input so it receives whatever PCM or DD signal is sent. I tried both mp3's and dvds and nothing gives more than 2.0. I called tech support and was told i needed to use a mono cable. i went to radio shack and got a /8" mono (male) to phono (female) adapter and hooked it up to one end of a phono (male) to phono (male) cord and plugged them into the respecti've places on my soundcard and receiver (coax). Still only 2.0. I did the speaker test in speaker settings and it confirms only 2.0 because all i hear is "front left" and "front right". what's wrong? I'm about to go nuts on this.

    alright, i read the knowledge base articles and saw that the tests won't output more than left and right, but still, it's not working for my dvd's. i have my receiver set to "direct". is that right? i'm using windows media player for the dvd playback, should i try something else? do i have to install an AC3 codec? do i have to enable something in media player? anything please

  • Center speaker not working

    Have just hooked up Creative SBS 560 - 5.1 speaker system. All the speakers working fine except the center speaker. I've plugged all the speakers into the center speaker jack and none of them work there. When plugged into their correct positions, they work fine. Any suggestions as to what to do to make the center speaker work. Thanks for any help.

    What sound card are you using? If you are using Creative 5.1 sound card, try enabling the CMSS feature.

  • I-pod hi fi center speaker not working?

    does anyone know how you get this repaired? or better still how do you get inside this thing?

    In case Apple is not longer repairing this product, then you have to find a 3rd party Audio company instead. Bear in mind iPod HiFi is an audiophile device and not a computer product.
    I am in a doubt the fixing cost will be cheap. In Hong Kong, there are few good Audio repairing companies around and hope you will get in your area too

  • Inspire p5800 - center speaker doesnt work

    hi there...
    i got a little problem... i have SB audigy 2 and inspire p5800...
    I set i up and the center speaker doesnt work at all.. no madder what i do.. i can hear the center speaker snear or something.. but i cant hear any music from it at all...
    If i try calibrate the 5.1 the center speaker makes sound like it was the subwoofer... any solution for this? i checked the cables and they are in the right places..
    hope ya can help
    Jones

    Hm, that is certainly odd......make sure the jack that goes from the subwoofer to your sound card is in the correct spot.
    Not sure but you may have 3 wires going to your soundcard - refer to the user manual for the correct order.
    If you are using digital - well then - I don't have a clue unless you hooked that digital cable to the wrong place on the soundcard as well.
    Good luck.

  • HP Officejet Pro L7590 Printer - HP Solution Center does not work

    I am not able to get the Solution Center suite to work because the installation has an error.  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.  The printer I am installing is the HP Officejet Pro L7590.
    If I go to Devices and Printers and add the printer.  The driver Windows 7 driver would work, it would detect the printer and the test page and everything would be fine. 
    However, if I install using the software provided by HP for the L7590 it would result in an error and it would not work. 
    The failed driver installation is only from installing the full bundle software provided by HP, if by itself through Windows 7 it would be fine.
    Because of the failed installation using HP software the HP solution center does not work.
    In Devices and Printers, the printer has the yellow exclamation point requiring troubleshooting, I click on troubleshoot and no device drivers were found.  In addition, I could not remove the printer.  Before installing the HP software, I could successfully install the printer and there would be a green checkmark, and there would be an option to remove the printer.  This leads me to believe HP has a faulty software bug that is causing the error.
    I am suppose to use the HP add a printer shortcut that populated on my desktop after installing the software, the first time it would show the failure to successfully install the driver, afterwards it would not even detect my printer if it is plugged in.  If I remove the usb and reinsert it, the Windows would just show the failed driver.  I repeat, it failed after I install the software, it works fine without.  The primary reason I want the software is to use the scanning feature.

    Hello NickRT, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are having software installation issues.  i would like to try and assist you.
    I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would reinstalling the HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

    A few days ago I tried to help a guy with Bose External Speakers and we found the male jack isn't quite long enough to make the connection:
    PROBLEM SOLVED!!
    Just to share information for others who might come across this problem with Bose or any other external speakers, where the male jack doesn't quite go in far enough for the MacBook to recognize it, here is the solution that worked for me:

    This is a very inexpensive solution and works great for me.  I'm listening to my Bose speakers now and they sound great!!  Thank you to all of you for your suggestions and help troubleshooting.
