Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z-680 problems, nothing coming from rear speake

I've been trying everything to get sound out of these rear speakers but I'm having zero luck. I've installed the drivers I don't even know how many times. The speakers work fine when hooked up to my dvd player so I know the wiring is fine. However everytime I run these tests provided on the install, I get "front left... front center... front right..." and then nothing afterwards. Even though I should be getting "rear right... rear left". What can I do to get these speakers working?!
by the way.. while I'm at it. The digital out on this card, am I able to hook that up to the z-680 console in some way? I have it conneced via 6 ch direct right now.

Well I actually got it working last night, my analog connection that is. The weird thing is this: I took the green and black wires, connected to my 680 console and audigy 2, and switched them. As in, the green was in the front speakers minijack and the black was in the rear minijack, and I put the green in the black's connection and vice versa. Suddenly Everything works fine. I don't understand how that could possibly work but whatever.
Now since this is working, should I even bother with a coax connection? During my extensi've reading yesterday, it seemed like coax was only good for dvds and not games. Seeing as how I have a seperate dvd player for all my movies, is it even worth it to open that RCA cable I bought?

  • I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  The head phones work though.  I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled.  Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

    I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  There is sound when we use the headphones.  Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • After Windows XP clean re-load and SB Live installation, getting no sound from rear speake

    I had to re-load my Sound Blaster Li've! Value but now I don't have any sound from my rear speakers. I have set the SB settings for four speakers and my Sound and Audio setting is for Quadraphonic. I registered for auto SB updates but the system could not find any updates for my installation.
    Thanks

In today's competiti've markets, you must look at yourself from the customer's viewpoint. Right or wrong, you must stri've to delight your customers, and resolve issues.

  • Audigy SE and Logitech X-

    I had SB Li've and had no problems with it for a long time, but for some reason it died on me and I got Audigy SE and now I am having problems with my speakers, I can only hear sound from FL and one with the power button and volume on (I think its FR). It is set up as 5. in Control Panel as well Creative MediaSource. I have new drivers and also I did re-format my computer but still the same problem. When I test my speakers I can hear sound and noise from all of them. I am not sure what to do?thanks

    Hi There !
    I have an Audigy with a Logitech X-530?( and had the same Problem?)?. The rear and center speakers are enabled only in Dolby Surround Sound and in games Supporting Dolby sound . if u want to make the Center speaker? ,? and the rear ones enabled , u should first fully install the software provided with the card then go to the EAX Console (Right Click on the Volume Icon on the taskbar then select it ) and enable audio Effect ( That's Optional ) , then Go to the CMSS 3D tab , enable it and select Stereo Sound . i had the same problem as u mentioned , i had an onboard Sound card , then i upgraded to Audigy and the Center & rear?Speakers were not working so i thought that may be the card was not working?Correctly , but?now Everythings is working
    that's what i did ! :P hope that will work for u too , Let Me Know
    ( u may also test ure speakers and card by downloading a "Test Speaker Dolby Sound " )

  • Problem with Audigy 2ZS and Logitech z5500 speakers

    Hi, all. I've had my Audigy 2ZS for a while, and I've been using Creative 4. speakers. I just got the logitech z5500 5. speakers, and I've been trying to get them to work properly with my soundcard, but it's giving me headaches.
    The setup: I'm using the 3 direct inputs to go from the sound card to the speakers, so all the various digital issues I've read about *shouldn't* be issues for me.
    The problem: When I do my a sound test using the Speaker Settings controller, my rear speakers are reversed, and one of them doesn't play at all! I've confirmed that all my speakers work, and I've used the diagnostic tools that come with the speakers to make sure that the speakers themselves are set up and working correctly.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really frustrated...this seems like it's either a card or software issue, but I'm just not certain how to fix it.
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem with two different X-Fi extreme music cards. I fixed it by running the speaker test for individual speakers and changin the speaker settings ad nauseum. 'tis an issue with the jack sensing on the drivers.
    If you unplug all the connectors and plug them back in, you'll find that some other channel gets screwed up.

  • 2 Slight problems with SB Audigy 2 and Logitech X-

    Here's the first prob, my speaker set used to work perfectly fine, but one day, I unplugged my X-620 speakers, and used headphones, after re-plugging my X-620 speakers, I realised that the subwoofer and rear right speaker are ALWAYS on, when I turn down the knob on the speaker set, they are still very audible, if I take CMSS off, it stops this from happening, but I don't get any noise from my rear speakers, is there anyway to make it so that the speakers behave normally, because the sub and rear right are audible when vol is 0, the sound becomes really distorted when I turn it up loud.Second problem is regarding Norton Antivirus, I think my SB 2 software is inerferring with Norton AV 2005, could this be true?

    hmm.....don't think I understand what problem you have fter reading your post. Have you disable CMSS?Message Edited by justaguy on 0-04-200706:50 PM

  • Audigy 2zs and Logitech z-

    Hi,
    i connected my z-680 over digital out with a coax-cable. but if i'm watchin a dvd-film, my z-680 receives no dolby digital or dts signal. the same with all games. nobody seems to know something about this ugly problem. are these components incompatible?

    Silent-Phil,
    Have you try searching the forum for possible solution before you post? You need to disable the soundcard decoding and also your DVD software decoding feature.

  • Audigy SE and Logitech Z-550

    I recently purchased the . When I go throught the sound test, both front speakers respond to the Left Front test, and no speakers respond to the Front Right test. All the other tests work fine. When playing a CD, only the left front and subwoofer are working. I've triple checked all the connections and can't find anything odd. You think its the card or the speakers?

    Tried your advice. Got good results. Everything worked as supposed to. Think its my card or pc settings?

  • Display Problem - Light Coming From Top

    Hello,
    So I recently purchased a 27" iMac, and have noticed a display problem when viewing in full screen mode. Its only an issue if there is black along the top of the screen (such as the black bars when watching a movie or trailer). When there is black along the top, you can see some white light kind of bleeding in from the top edge - kind of all the way along (very narrow), but more pronounced at certain spots. I browsed the forums, but couldn't find anything that seemed real similar (though there are a number of reports of a yellow tinge on the bottom).
    I guess I"m just wondering if this is a common LED problem - or if my display may be defective, and I should take it back.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Pullo
    There has been a few reports, but nothing wide spread.

  • 2 ZS Platinum with Logitech 5300e- No sound comes from rear speake

    I just bought a new 2 ZS Platinum sound card and I use fairly new Logitech 5300e 5. speakers but no matter what I am playing, no sound comes from the rear speakers. However everythingh sounds fine in the front left, center and front right. As most posts on this board would suggest....yes, all speakers are securely connected and the switch on the back of the subwoofer is set to 5.. Windows control panel is set to 5., and so is everything else that asks. Im pretty sure I installed it correctly because the card shows up and I can hear good sound but only from the front. I read somewhere that I still needed a codec called ac3 so I downloaded it but there is still no sound. I updated the card with the latest driver which looks like was released in 2005. Is there ANY way to get real 5. sound? Do I need to purchase something else, a new codec? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

    Does the speaker test work in 5. channel mode? If it doesn't then it would like the X-Fi's lost the centre channel.
    In that case you can try unplugging your speakers, changing into 2.0 mode plugging them back in and then changing to 5. channel mode and just fiddling about. 'tis a common problem with the X-Fi on a fresh install to lose or merge channels. There's no fix for it but to fiddle with the speaker/THX console settings and to plug and unplug stuff until the X-Fi decides to route stuff properly.

  • Currently using Outlook 2010. It started acting up today. If I purchase 2013, will it solve my problem, or could the problem be coming from a corrupt PST file?

    I use outlook 2010. It has been working perfectly. Today I got an error message that I never "caught" quickly enough. Something about a fax ad on not working properly and I should contact the ad on people. Ever since then, my outlook is not working
    properly. When I create an e-mail a box appears, similar to a text box but with nothing inside. I cant type in the box, and can therefore not send out e-mails. Will buying 2013 outlook solve my issue?

    Hi there
    I’m sorry to hear that you have been unable to access your voicemail!
    It seems like due to the SIM switch, the voicemail service has temporarily been put into an inactive state. When swapping between devices, this will occur and requires re-setting up the voicemail service. Your unheard and saved messages would not be affected. Are you currently still in the Hong Kong area?
    Thanks,
