Audigy 2 ZS + Creative T7900 7.1 Centre Speaker Prob

I've just installed an Audigy 2 ZS sound card and Inspire T7900 speaker system. When setting up the speakers I noticed that the centre speaker was not working, looking into the problem futher the speaker is working but the volume level for it is SO VERY LOW. I've tried lowering the volume levels of the rest of the speakers to try and balance it out, but that doesn't help much.
Can anyone help?
P.S. I'm using Windows XP SP2 & the latest drivers for the sound card.

Thanks for the replys, tried all but still the same.
I then decided to remove the sound card and reinstall it to a differnet PCI slot. Whilst removing the card I noticed that the cable connecting to Line Out 3 (Yellow'ish) couldn't fit flush up against the sound card, 5mins later, and small modifaction to the case and hey presto full 7. sound.
P.S. I'm an idiot 8-))
I like your honesty there. and enjoy ur audio now. Cheers

Creative T7900 Why don't 7.1 work with mplayer 10?

Hi.
I have Creative T7900 speaker system and soundblaster audigy 2 ZS platinium pro and my problem is that i can't get the 7.1 surround working with mediaplayer 10,winamp,creative media source when i try to play mp3s or music CDs it just gives me sound from the 2 front speakers (left and right) even though i tried to set the program to use 7.1. But when i play DVDs in powerDVD for exampel the 7.1 sound works fine. Could it be the mp3s? or does mplayer 0 and such have support for 7.1

Kara,
Try turning on CMSS.

Centre Speaker problemo. Audigy 2 ZS, Logitech X-

This problem is all over the forums already, but nothing i've found / read about has been able to solve it: my front centre speaker is playing softer than the rest (in CMSS and CMSS 2), and if i enable an EAX Equalizer i get no sound from the centre speaker at all. What im not sure about is where exactly the problem is lying... some people claim it to be codecs, others a hardware problem, others driver problems, etc. Im using an Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech X-530 5. speakers. I checked my windows setup, AC3 filter, AudioHQ, etc. and all have been set to 5. surround sound. In the speaker console, i test the speaker and it works fine (same loudness as the other speakers).
I dont think its a driver problem. Im using the drivers that provide EAX4.0 support (the one which includes two driver updates, the 2003 and 2004 ones), but even before that i had the same problem (was using the drivers that came with the soundcard). I dont think its a hardware problem either, because the subwoofer's playing just fine, and the centre speaker does work... the sound's just really faint.
The centre speaker works fine with DVD-Audio and DVD-Video tho (voice and other sounds channel perfectly). So im assuming its something to do with the codecs or something? I use Winamp 5.08 for MP3's and Windows Media Player 0 for audio CD's. For mpegs, avi's etc. i use WMP0 or VLC. Anything non-DVD gives me crap.

Creative T7900 Music Problem

I have a problem with creative t7900 7.1 and Audigy SE. I have select 7.1 from the settings of creative utilitie from drivers and 7.1 in sound properties from windows.But the music(audio cd,mp3) from windows media player 10 and from the media player of creative is hear only from the 2 front speakers + subwoofer. I uninstall/install drivers but nothing. Why i cant hear music from all my speakers-except center- ?
(Sorry for my bad english,thank you!)

That's normal for stereo stuff. You should try turning on CMSS feature of your Audigy card. That should help.

Equium A200-196: Cannot get all speakers to work with Creative T7900 home cinema system

I run windows Vista home premium, on my Toshiba Equium A200-196, and i have a 7.1 Creative T7900 system.
I cannot get all speakers to work. Only the woofer and two front speakers are currently playing sound.
The sound option in the control panel doesn't give me any options besides stereo speakers.
I have no option of selecting 5.1 or 7.1 speakers and i need to know do i need a software driver (all drivers are showing up as up-to-date), or do i have to change some other option, or purchase an external sound card?
I only have two jack inputs, a mic in and headphone out. How can i get all speakers to work and achieve the home cinema experience?

Hi there,
I dont think that the sound card is capable to do 5.1/7.1 since there are many more jacks required then only one "sound-output".
If I were you I would purchase a external USB-soundcard which is capable to do 5.1 or 7.1 to deliver you the full home-cinema experience.
Another solution is not existent. Sorry mate.

Audigy (1) no subwoofer sound with 5.1 speak

Hi There,
I`ve bought an audigy card (sb0090) on ebay and it came without cd.
So i downloaded the driver i`ve found on the creative website and have now installed :AUD_EAX4DRV_0303.exe
AUD_WEBUP_PCWDRV_-84-40.exe
AudCon_PCApp_LB__20_23.exe
My 5. Speaker system(analog) is connectet in the right order (subwoofer+center on the digital out) but all i can get is the centre speaker , the subwoofer doesen`t make anything.(the other speaker sound normal)
Is this a hardware prob or can i help it with some software i don`t have?
For example the creative surround mixer?
I`dont hope the card is defekt.
Please help!!
Imilan

Oh im very sorry the problem is solved, the subwoofer does its work, i had to make the sound louder to here a difference....(all is differnt to my old soundcard)
im very sorry pleas delete this post!!

Woofer and centre speaker not working

Hi, recently purchased a Creative P580 and I can't seem to get the woofer and centre speaker to work, I have a 5.1 sound card and it does support 4 channel sound, suuround sound is turned on, any ideas? thanks Pete

Pete,
You didn't mention specifically which card you have, or what kind of audio you're testing, but take a look at this knowledgebase article first. For music, for instance, you would need to enable CMSS if you want sound out of all of the speakers, as the source isn't real 5.1
Other than that, just make sure the speaker settings for the card are set to 5.1, and that you've adjusted specific volume levels for speakers (if it's available on your card - like a center speaker volume bar in the mixer).

Centre speaker does not w

Hi i just bought the Creative Inspire 5. P5800 speaker system. I've got a Creative SoundBlaster Li've! 5. Digital soundcard. I've plugged in all the cables correctly, changed my Windows sound system setting to 5. surround and did the same on the Creative Speaker system application. When i test the speaker through the creative speaker application, all 5 channels will output correctly but if i open up any other application for movies or music, the centre speaker won't work. I've tried disabling my onboard sound chip (C-media), uninstalling codecs (heard AC-3 filters usually conflict with creative center speakers' output), and reinstalling all the creative sb li've! drivers. That still wont make any difference. I'm wondering if the cause is because i had to connect the center audio cable (the orange cable) to the digital output jack of the creative soundcard (but thats where it's meant to be, so... ). Can anyone please help. I sold my Creative 4. 4400 2weeks ago, and if the centre satellite of this P5800 wont work, thats really money wasted. My last option is to format, and reinstall everything properly but i doubt that's gonna work. HELP....... Thanks

Change your windows sound system setting?from 5. to default 7.. You may have go into the?SoundBlaster Li've! 5. speaker settings/control center to setup your speaker set to 5.. and to calibrate the speaker set.

That's definitely a hardware problem(drop then malfunctioned). If you've replaced the ringer/buzzer & speaker from original parts & it does works also, most likely contacts on mainboard or soldered parts been dislodge. An autorized Nokia Care Center could resolved your problem.

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...

New X-Fi USB problem: Signal for sub and centre speaker seem to come through the same channe

.. im not very technical so Ill try and explain this as best to my ability!!
I recently purchased a X-Fi soundcard to use with my 5. surround sound system and I seemed to have a problem as soon as I set it up. When I play any music there is no bass at all, however when I switch the two input cables (centre/sub) over at the back of the sub there is too much bass and it sounds like its just the output for the centre speaker, only coming through the subwoofer and the centre speaker stops working.
I'm on a Acer laptop if this hel
ps.
. im guessing its a problem with drivers as im almost certain the physical setup is ok. Ive tried a couple of other friends 5. setups with my soundcard and exactly the same thing happens.
Im really stumped so any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jamie?

Ive tried looking for an option like this but cant seem to find one. Is it a standard feature with creative sound software?

Centre Speaker Problem with Z-5500 and X

When I have entertainment mode enabled (not sure if its the mode's problem or not) the centre speaker doesnt play alot of the music (I heard the voices are supposed to come from centre while ambience comes from the other speakers) most of the sound is coming from the other 4 speakers. Also, when the song gets real intense (or a word starting with "s" is said) the speaker starts to crackle and fizzle, and it makes me think the speaker is dieing or not able to handle that sound. However, when I enable game mode and play counterstrike or such, with the volume pretty high (about halfway for the Z-5500 is deafening) I can shoot and throw grenades and such but the centre channel (which plays alot more sound then when Im playing music) doesnt crackle or fizzle, it handles pretty much 80% of the sound) I especially hear the crackling/distortion or whatever it is when Im playing System of a Down's Chop Suey, when he says the line "self righteous suicide" it crackles and causes a fuzzy sound when he says it, and some other songs have parts of it when this happens. Just wondering why the X-Fi is causing this (i dont think its the modes problem cause I have the problem with game mode too) but it cant be the speaker as it works perfectly fine in game.

Hows it going mate. i have a very similar setup to you and have the same problem. the sound only comes out of the front and centre speakers. even the surround sound comes out of the fronts. this is because the vista drivers do not support dolby digital or dts. lol what a waste of money. there is no warnings about this when you purchase the card. i am appauled at this. It is false advertising.

Audigy Switches from 5.1 back to 2 speaker mode everytime I reb

Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Robert.Message Edited by rbarclay on -07-2004 09:09 PM

My answer assumes that you are using the Creative software. Go to speaker settings in the Creative console. On the speaker selection tab, there is a box that says "Synchronize with Control Panel". Make sure that you check that box. If it is unchecked, Windows automatically sets your speakers back to 2, whenever you reboot.

How to connect Asus mother board P5B sound card with Creative Inspire 5.1 5200 speaker system?
