Audigy 2 ZS no front left! please he

Hi there, this is a problem which is really driving me bananas! I am using an Ugigy 2 ZS with a Logitech 680 speaker system. A few weeks back I noticed my front left speaker went out. I narrowed it down to the output jack for the front speakers. It was not the cables, nor the speakers, as each worked in different scenarios. So, I ordered a refurbished Audigy ZS from Creative. Installed it, and...same problem!
I tried both cards in different PCI slots, same problem. Updated drivers. Tried a clean boot with Windows XP. Even did a fresh install of Windows and all software. I'm really lost.
Is it possible that it could be a hardware problem in my computer that is causing this? Is it possible that 2 cards can have the same problem?
Any assistance anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I FIXED IT.
EDIT: Actually I didn't fix it. I am now getting mono sound from both speakers, so I jumped the gun.
EDIT2: Okay, this time I really DID fix it. Here's how:
I was reading through the mobo manual just to see if I was missing anything. I saw a note that said if you don't have the jumper across pins 9 and 0 on the front panel hookup jumper block, then you won't have audio in the output jack on the back of the motherboard.
So I looked at the front panel connector on the motherboard to make sure the left channel output and return pins had a jumper across them (pins 9 and 0 on my mobo). They did, so I almost gave up and put the case cover back on. Then I decided I would make sure the jumper that was there had good contact with the pins.
I pushed the jumper sideways a bit to make sure it was tight to the pins and then tested the left channel. I suddenly had sound on the left channel! So looks like the jumper was bad! I replaced it with a different one that was tighter and it continued to work!
I have yet to test this on the other motherboard that had this problem (since I already installed an addon sound card on it and am fine keeping it that way), but I am willing to bet the fix will work there too. I bought these motherboards close together to each other so they probably had the same run of bad jumpers installed on them.
Hopefully this helps someone!Message Edited by aeric67 on 05-06-2006 06:02 PM

Audigy 2 zs diagnostics: only front left & right sound on megaworks 550

When I test the speakers with creative thx console, creative diagnostics or spekaers settings, I can hear front left and right sound on my 5. system for EVERY channel that is tested. All the software is updated and speakers are connected in the right way.
If i try playing games, it's impossible to select eax sound.
Problems started when I've uninstalled drivers of my old SB PCI28 sound card after the installation of new audigy drivers. Before uninstalling pci28 drivers everything was working ok.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall all the software but nothing changed. HELP!!

You said you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, did you uninstall the drivers aswell then? Try a cleansweep, more details are in the FAQ.
If it's not letting you select EAX then it sounds like the card isn't installed correctly, or isn't recognised correctly. Check in Device Manager and see if there is any mention of the card there, and if there are any error messages/error codes.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, only front left and front ri

I've had the sound card for about 8 months now. About a week ago, instead the usual 7. coming out of my speakers, only the front left and front right speakers work. It's not the speakers, because I plugged the speakers into the onboard audio and they all work, but when I have them plugged into the sound card, only the front two. I have the audio set to 7. in the control panel and have CMSS 3D turned on. It has nothing to do with settings, because when I run the test in the THX console, the front two speakers are the only ones that work. Could someone please help me out, Thanks

You could try this. Remove the sound card from the computer and boot up the computer without the sound card in the computer. Let Windows finish loading and then have it shutdown. Slot back the sound card to the PCI slot and boot the computer.

Three possible causes:
- You got charged twice. On a computer go to iTunes Store>View Account>Purchase History and see what you got charged for
- Maybe the difference is due to tax. Again the Purchase History will list the total price including tax for each purchase.
- You had a negative balance (you owed money) before you redeemed the card.
If problems contact iTunes:

Help me pls: No sound on Front Left of Inspire M4500 speaker

Hi everyone,
Pls help with me with this problem.
I just bought a 4.1 Inspire M4500 using for my PC. My sound card driver is Realtek AC97 Audio (version 5.0.0000.690, date 1/6/2006). Unfortunately, after installing, there is no sound on the Front Left speaker. It means that any rear speaker inputed in the FRONT LEFT socket has no sound.
If anyone who knows how to solve this problem pls help me!
Your kind help will always be greatly appricicated!
VienKyTu

AC97 is onboard audio, you didn't say what motherboard you have, but I would think there would be a newer driver update on your MoBos website. But you did say you have a sound card, if it is in fact a dedicated sound card, you need to disable your AC97 audio in your BIOS.

X-Fi Xtreme Gamer no front left so

Hey folks
I finally got around to getting a new soundcard today. Bought a X-Fi Xtreme Gamer soundcard with some new Altec Lansing 5. speakers. Got home and installed the card and speakers, which went fine, and then installed the drivers and programmes for the card.
However I have come across a very annoying problem. When running tests on the sound I find that there is no sound coming out of the front left speaker. All the other speakers are working fine. I tried swapping the speaker into a different position on the sub woofer and I get sound out of it so the speaker itself isn't faulty.
I've updated the drivers and software and been through the KB on this site and did some searches but I couldn't find anything that matched my problem. I've been fiddling about with the different options in the software and I can't seem to get it all working together.
Anyone have any thoughts on where I could be going wrong ?

I'm not sure it's quite the same but certainly similar.
I've been spending the last day trying to get it working. I thought I had it because suddenly the front left speaker started working after I had plugged in my old 4. speakers and then the new 5.'s back in but it only lasted a few minutes. I've turned on Bass Redirection and set it to full and whenever I click on the front left speaker in the test the sub woofer would make a sound.
I'm beginning to think I could possibly have a faulty sub woofer rather than a faulty soundcard.

5.1 system, only sound from front left & ri

I'm running a x-fi platinum on vista home premiumif you need/want more specs than that, just let me know. my problem is thus, I've set the system up for 5. surround sound, I've tested the speakers and I'm only able to recieve sound to the front left and right speakers. No sound is being sent to the center, rear left or right. I'm unsure of what to do, I've read that there are other users who arent having any problems with their 5. systems and I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice on what to do. Thanks

lol wow I Just fixed it by accident. heres a screenshot of how.basically, whatever speakers were not getting sound, you uncheck them. its crazy but it works?*edited twice trying to get the pics to show up in the post *http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...nxx984/prt.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...xx984/prt2.jpg?Message Edited by FleshWound on 02--2007:34 AM

Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music??

I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
Console Launchers does not load on boot
Any asistance will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......

Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
That can be found here.......

Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input

0Problem with Audigy 2 Platinum Front Panel Input? Hey everyone,
Here's the background of the issue. I got a PS3 over the holidays for literally free
I had my computer out in a testbed style. Plugged the PS3 into my monitor HDMI --> DVI cable, and Red/White into the front RCA jacks of the Front Panel (Aux 2). As soon as I plugged in the cable, I got sound out of my speakers and was able to enjoy my PS3 in 720p
I put all of the components back into the case after cutting exhause and intake fan holes. I brought everything back to school, fired up the PC and PS3. Lo and behold, there is no more sound from the PS3. I know that PS3s are temperamental in moving, but I hooked the audio up to my TV and the sound came out just fine. The AD Ext cable looks like it's secure and in place. When I hooked up a mic and headphones to the front, they worked fine as well. However it seems to be just the AUX 2 RCA inputs that dont work anymore. Any ideas about how to fix this issue? Is there a function I have to turn on now in the software to allow sound to pass through? Any information would be wonderful!? I'm going to try an optical cable in the near future, just need to borrow one from a friend =/

Problem Solved.
I had moved my cards around for better airflow. I moved the SB Audigy card from the bottom PCI slot to the top. Thinking this might be the problem, I moved the video card back to the top slot PCI-E and the sound card to the bottom PCI slot. Sound is now working again. Thanks for the thread views?:smileytongue:
Think that when I have to buy Win 7 for real if the problem would still persist if I moved the card again? Or is this a hardware limitation?

Only the Front Left channel of my USB mic is being recognized!

The microphone in question is this. When I plug it into my Macbook and look at it through Audio MIDI Setup, I can only see the Master channel and 1: Front Left. The Front Left channel was also greyed out, with the slider down at 0. When I record through the mic in Premiere, I (expectedly) get audio from only one channel. Could someone provide some insight?

I hopped over to Windows 7 in boot camp and plugged in the mic. In Sound Options > Properties, it's also telling me that my microphone is only one channel. Did I purchase a mono microphone? Is it that all microphones of this nature record to mono? Or is mine somehow faulty? It would make sense that this microphone would be mono, but the fact that the one channel is named "Front Left" in the Audio Midi Setup might have sewn the seed of doubt that something was off.

"Front Left", "Front Right" from the same speak

I am having an issue I am hoping to get answered. I have Boston Acoustic speakers which I am currently using on a new computer with a SoundBlaster XiFi. I can only hear sound from the left channel (The speaker that plugs INTO the right speaker that plugs into the Subwoofer). When I go to run an diagnostics test, it says :
Speaker : Front Left... Front Right
Speaker 2: (Nothing)
Speaker 3: Rear Left
Speaker 4: Rear right.
I know that this is not a problem with the hardware as I can plug these speakers into the computer right next to me & they work fine. I see that this problem crops up very often on these forums, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

No jack problem at all. I have also suffered myself some problems with "speaker switching" with the X-Fi. Only a full reinstall of all creative drivers has solved it, at least for me. I have posted it some times here, but I always get silence as a response. A common problem is that front right speaker dissapears when it was working perfectly.
It's a bug, no matter what Creative says (unfortunately they say nothing), there are a lot of posts regarding this

Panic when front left of 12" iBook G4 is held

I tend to pick up small laptops my putting my thumb on the top surface and the fingers of the same hand underneath. Twice now I have picked up my 12" G4 iBook like this with my left hand (so my thumb runs from the front left corner towards to alt key, and my fingers are underneath the various modifier keys on the left) and the machine has paniced. It's not repeatable at will, so I suspect it depends on exactly what is flexing. On the occasion I looked at the stack trace, the wireless appeared to be deeply involved, which may be coincidence or may indicate I managed to flex the mini-PCI card. has anyone seen this problem? My obvious workaround is to pick the machine up with my right hand instead...

Some people using 12-inch PowerBook G4s have had the same thing happen; it was because the AirPort Extreme card was slightly out of place. Try using these instructions to remove and reinsert the card.

Dell switch 8024F - Front left LED is flashing red - no connect terminal

Hello,
I have a DELL 8024F switch not connected console me.
The console cable is correct.
The LEDs on the switch are as follows:
LED right power source is green.
Left power source does not exist.
LED fans are green.
Front left LED is flashing red.
What can happen?
I have inserted several SFP + and are led as if they were not inserted.
I get the feeling as if you did not initiate the boot process.
Any suggestions?
regards

Hi,
The blinking LED typical means a non critical error, but if you can’t connect to console and it doesn’t recognize any SFP+ transceivers, it could be a more serious error. If you unplug it and then reconnect power is there any change? Have you reseated the power supply and fan modules?

Front Left Corner of MBA Off-Balance?

I've had my MBA for about 10 days now, and I love everything about it. I have everything set up the way I want it, but I cannot help notice the front left corner is off-balance. I saw a post about this recently, but I was not sure what people concluded. Is this simply a design defect, or did I just happen to get a MBA that does not sit "level"? If anyone has/had a similar problem, let me know (as my 14 days to return it is nearing a close). Thanks in advance!

Mine will occasionally shift a tad when I have been running it hard. Usually a light twist in the reverse direction sets it flat again. This happens about once per week (but I run it hot constantly with development, etc.).
If it is more than a hair off then yes the other advice to exchange it is sound. However these machines are very thin and are cast aluminum so I would expect it to shift when a lot of heat is applied.
