Audigy 2 ZS - Missing 5.1 speaker option on Creative Control Pan

I have an Audigy 2 ZS running the latest drivers for Windows XP Pro (according to the Creative Labs autoupdate page) outputting to a set of Logitech X-530 5.s. I cannot find any 5. speaker option on the Speaker Settings panel, or the THX panel, only 2/2., 4/4., and 7.. The 7. option is working, mostly, but I get a dead spot when the sound should be coming from my immediate right or left. Any way I can convince the software that I don't have 8-channel sound without losing my front center channel? Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem so bump!

  • Keeps telling me my file does not have a program associated with it and go to folder options in the control pane. Where is it located

    When I try to save a file the download window keeps coming up. When I click to open the erro message says "File does not have a program associated with it for performing this function. Create an association in the folder options control panel." Where is this control panel and what kind of association do I make. Usually it was adobe but I don't have that choice

    Try using this link first https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file?esab=a&s=File+does+not+have+a+program+associated+with+it+for+performing+this+function&r=0&as=s
    Also it could be the type of file you are downloading. Like if it was a type of text that your default word processor did not accept it would give you that message.
    Hope this helps,

    Hi,
    As a further test to identify whether this is a hardware or software issue, try the following.
    1.  Create a bootable Ubuntu CD - a guide on creating an Ubuntu CD and the download can be found Here.
    2.  When created, follow the guide on the link below to Try Ubuntu.
    http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/try-ubuntu-before-you-install
    The 'Try Ubuntu' option runs the OS from the CD without the need to install on your HDD.  It will be slow running from a CD but let me know if you get audio.

  • MUltiple Speaker Option

    I am trying to fix a problem in streaming internet radio through an air port express device to my stereo system and have encountered dropouts in the music. I was told to,"Set Air Tunes to the multiple speaker option and include the computer". How is this done? Thanks for any help.

    My only choices are: Computer or AV network. No choice for "multiple speakers" Am I missing something?

  • No 6.1 Speaker Option in Control Pane

    I have an Audigy 2 soundcard and the Megaworks 6. THX surround speakers. Through speaker setup in Creative's software I can choose 6. speakers and they test just fine. However, after loading a new game, Half Life 2, I found that I can not choose 6. speakers from within the game's options. Only 5. or 7. speaker options are available (besides all the lower end options).
    So I went and checked what is set-up in Windows Control Panel -> Sound devices -> speaker settings -> Advanced -> and Windows seems to think I have 7. surround speakers.... It has no 6. speaker option....only 5. or 7. just like the options that the Half Life 2 game gives me.
    I have the box checked in the Creative software to "Synchronize with Control Panel" but it doesn't seem to do any good.
    Anybody have any ideas why Windows won't recognize that I have 6. speakers, or why it won't even allow me to choose the option of 6. speakers?

    I'm having the same problem with mine
    but i'm sure it used to work in the beginning

  • Repair for missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu?

    Can someone suggest how to  repair a missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu? I'm using CS5 Indesign.
    There's no option for it greyed out or otherwise. It originally had dissappeared while using CS4. I gave up on it. Installed CS5 and hoped it would come back: nada. I did the Ctrl-Alt-Shift thing and deleted prefs file: Still no recent docs option. VERY IRRITATING.
    There's got to be a way. But I'm not informed enough. Help, please?

    This is easily fixed...took me a while to find out how.
    Go into Preferences, click on File Handling...you will then see a page with 'Saving InDesign Files' in the middle section (See attached screen grab).  You'll see a box next to 'Number of Recent Items to Display' which I'm assuming will be '0'...change this to any number up to 99.  Click OK. Close InDesign.  Reopen InDesign...Open a file, close the file...you will now see the 'Open Recent' link when you click on file.
    Problem solved.

  • Where has the speaker option gone?

    I'm currently on itunes v.9. The speakers option, where I could have music playing from either the speakers on my laptop or from my external speakers via the airport, has completely disappeared, and now I cannot use itunes to play music at all.
    How do I get the speaker option back? (It was in the bottom right hand corner of the menu bar.)
    Thanks in advance for any advice on this!

    I have restarted it - several times! It is most frustrating though. At least I have an ipod, so I don't have to sit in silence. Thanks for your thoughts, anyway.

  • My multiple speaker option stopped working when I installed my apple TV?

    My multiple speaker option stoped working when I installed my apple tv today,  can anyone help me?

    Can you explain the 'stopped working' a little more - are you saying it crashes,freezes, errors, or just a straight open/close?
    Have you tried adobe LicenseRecover?

  • T450s: missing 6-cell battery option in the configurat​or

    Dear all,
    now that the hardware trackpoints buttons are back it's time to buy a new thinkpad!
    I'm configuring a T450s on shop.lenovo.com, but I noticed that the 6-cell battery option is missing. The only option that appears is:
    ThinkPad Battery 3 cell Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) Rear
    but I'd like to have the big one.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks!

    Same battery (0C52862) as T440, T440s, T450, available here.
    There's a big bulge on the bottom for the additional capacity.
    UPDATE: ThinkPad Battery 68+ (6 cell) is available during checkout in the Accessories section.
    Hope that helps,

  • Audigy 2 ZS with 7.1 speak

    Hello I have the Audify 2 ZS with the 7. creative speaker system. I have A problem I dont know what to do.
    I would like to connect a headset mic combo to the card but is no extra slot for the headset. How do i connect to the card?
    Also i have a sidewinder game voice from microsoft would like to use that if possible as have multi team setup options. Any idea how do do either without unplugging every cable every time?
    Thanks
    Parasite

    The Model Above mine. Your speaker set wired remote control which has the volume and base control should have a headphone and microphone port on the side. have you considered using that? (the only down side i know is it will mute the speakers but but its not to much pulling of cables)
    There is another option depending on your PC setup and if its pratical, do you have onboard sound i found it an alternati've method what i did was well plug the headset into the onboard soundcard and never had any issues with it. kept all the chatter on the headphones and not comming out the speakers and never had to pull it out.Message Edited by Stargazer on -6-2005 09:08 AM

  • No 5.1 sound Audigy 2 zs w. Klipsch speak

    I have Audigy 2 zs gamers edition card with Klipsch Pro Media GMX D-5. speakers. Winxp all updates applied, all Audigy updates applied.
    My problem is that I don't get 5. sound via the Audigy. When I run the creative speaker test or calibration, I only get sound from the front l/r speakers, even though I have 5. speakers selected in creative software and control panel.
    When playing games with 5. sound I have this same problem. If the game has an in game speaker test (ex: half life 2), I will only hear sound from some of the speakers during the 5. test, never the rear speakers.
    When I run the Klipsch electronic test I get sound in all 5 and I can tell by the unit's leds that it detects the digital connection. Klipsch connect via digital coax to audigy SPIDF.
    I've verified the connectionss at least 4 times and even had a friend who also has an Audigy double check my connections.
    I confirmed with klips that these speakers are 00% compatible with Audigy 2 zs for 5. sound.
    In the creative software I've tried syncing with control panel, not syncing etc same issue.
    Any suggestions here I"m stumped What do I need to do, to get 5. working?
    thanks !

    I have managed to get my Creative p580 5. speakers working, I dont know if this will help anyone but I had only installed the latest drivers from the internet, I had'nt installed anything from the CD that came with my Audigy 2 ZS.
    To get my rear and center speakers working I installed the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 applications (I did'nt install Media Source) from the CD that came with the Audigy 2 ZS, this did'nt overwrite the latest drivers, it only installed the Creative applications.
    Once installed and re-booted follow the steps below:
    Start> All Programs> Creative> Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS> Creative Speaker Settings> -Under the Speaker/Headphone selection (it should be set to 5.) Un-Tick Synchronize with Control Panel, then restart and hopefully you should have your 5. sound back : )
    I hope this helps somebody.

  • Airplay will not give me "iphone" speaker option?

    When in my Itunes and I try to change my speaker to "Iphone" it will only give "Dock Connector" and Airport express, why will it not give "iphone" as a speaker option?

    Because you can only Stream videos and music from your iTunes library to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
