Audigy 2 ZS - Rear Speakers Aren't Working

*Audigy 2 ZS - Rear Speakers Aren't Working-Well, before on XP, just restarting, and re-installing my drivers worked flawlessly.
Since XP, I've installed W7 x64 Bit, and the rear never worked, but I didn't mind, as I was always using my headset for gaming, but now that I've stopped gaming so much, and listen to music much more, I've been wanting my rear speakers back!
Anyways, I've tried the nati've, original Creative drivers, no go.
I'm using Daniel K's right now, no go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my rig-
Windows 7 x64 Bit - Ultimate
AMD Athlon II X4 620 @ 2.6GHZ
Biostar A770E3 Motherboard
Corsair DDR3 333mhz 4GB - Two sticks - Dual Channel
BFG Tech GTS 250
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
600W Power Supply

I got this problem when I updated to the new drivers, so that might be your problem since you recently updated. Check to make sure that your speakers settings are for 5. and not stereo. Also make sure that the speaker system is set to receive 6 channel input instead of stereo -- I know my Logitech 5500 system can set to stereo even if it is receiving 6 channels in.

HP HP 15-r006la speakers aren't working

I recieved my new laptop but the speakers aren't working. Volume mixer shows activity even though I can't hear anything. When I plug-in my headphones, they work just fine.

Hi there @Fabmoral
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are getting no sound from your speakers, but that headphones work fine. I am happy to help.
I assume you are referring to the internal speakers on the notebook, if I am wrong let me know. With that in mind please take a look at this page:
No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8)
Let me know if that fixes it.

My iPod touch 4g has ruined 3 pairs of my headphones and my speakers aren't working, can I get it replaced for free? Or do I have to pay for it to be replaced?

As I said in my previous reply:
If defective, Apple will exchange the iPod at no cost unless they have been abused. That applies to Apple earphones too.

The problem isn't solved after the restore, shall I bring my phone to the AppStore? Will they give me a new one? Or I should pay for that. Warranty is until December 2013;)

Audigy 2 ZS: Rear Speakers rather quiet with CMSS3D and Win

Hi there, my problem: using the new vista driver and enabling CMSS3D with the console I do get sound on the rear speakers (e.g. playing winamp), but they are rather quiet compared to the front speakers. I did not have this problem under xp. Controls are set to 0% (middle), and noise level are slightly under max. does it have to do with CMSS3D mode Under XP theres more options concerning CMSS3D, this might be the issue. Thx for any replies!

OK , Perhaps i didnt Say this at first But, My speakers,souncard,etc. all Were working fine previously. Just This Past week or so i have lost sound to my rear speakers. The speakers i am using are logitech Z-5500's. As i stated earlier, i can switch speaker connections at soundcard and get sound from the rear speakers. I have tried these speakers on another computer(audigy LS card) and they work on that one without any problems. I have tried the speaker settings console where it shows you a diagram of 5. layout and sound coming from each speaker as it goes around the diagram,it is showing sound symbol for rear speakers but, no sound out of speakers in rear. The creative diagnostics has been run and everything passes in it and shows no problems.

No sound from Rear Speakers - Center Channel Works F

I have a Windows Vista (brand new) system, with an X-Fi XtremeMusic card on board. Connected via the digital i/o dongle is an Onkyo TX SR-605 receiver, which in turn is hooked up to a 5. Polk Audio speaker setup. The 5. setup works fine?for all other components on the receiver. That said, it doesn't seem that there's much or any sound coming from the rear speakers when it's playing the computer setup. When I use the THX speaker setup utility it correctly identifies the right, left, center, and sub, but then announces that the front right and left speakers are the rear right and left speakers. Any idea how to fix this?

All the sudden I got the similar problem with Logitech Z-5500 with optical out...test with THX Consol and no sound coming out of rear Speakers instead front R and L.......update to latest driver but problem remains....

HP ENVY 17 Notebook My speakers aren't working

Hi. Can anyone help me? I have recently updated my hp to windows 8.1 64 bits but I hadn't any problem till yesterday. I often hear music on my laptop and yesterday I plugged (for the first time since I have the laptop - it has a month or two) my headphones. The music was sounding different from the way I was used to hear on the laptop and so I disconnected them. After that I pressed the play again but I didn't hear any sound from the speakers. Aparently the are on, the drivers are updated, I don't undestand. My serie number is 5CG3260W51

My Macbook Pro speakers aren't working and the headphone jack is emitting a red light when I try to play something with sound. HELP!

The question says it all. It worked perfectly last night and stopped working this morning. A whole day has gone by and the speakers still don't work. I've plugged in headphones and that works.
When I try to increase volume or decrease volume, it shows me the mute sign which makes no sense at all. When I try to unmute, it stays muted.
HELP I'M ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING THIS P.O.S. LAPTOP

SO I just now had the same problem. A million threads online suggested to try inserting headphones, toothpicks, or even qtips to try and switch the "switch" inside the headphone jack. Everyone had great results from using the toothpick method. Well that didn't work for me. here's what FINALLY WORKED!!--> I wrapped a toothpick in fashion tape (fashion tape is basically stretchy double sided tape. If you don't have any ask some girls and someone will have). My thought was that maybe this "switch" didn't need to be flicked or pushed like a button. Maybe it was stuck in like a button that has been pushed in. I used the sticky toothpick to pull up the button/switch. Basically, take the toothpick and pressdown on the switch (supposedly the botton is inside the jack at the 6 or 7-0clock position) and then press the toothpick away (so that you are pushing in the opposite direction [1-oclock]). do this multiple times so you're flicking the toothpick back and forth. Just make sure you press firmly enough in the 6-oclock position so the tape can get stuck to the button.
Two tips for this method:
1) I had tried a manicure q-tip first, which in hindsight could've cleaned out the headphone jack, facilitating a surface that can get stuck to the fashion tape effectively.
2) You can see in the photo attached that I wrapped the tape on the toothpick a little past the edge so that there was extra tape on the end of the toothpick. That was (and this is just my theory) to make up for the fact that toothpicks have a tapered end. I figured that having this extra loose bit of tape at the end would allow me to reacch into any nook or crany of the headphone jack where this mysterious "button" might be lurking.

Ever since I have updated to IOS7 the speakers in my ipad3 has not been working, do you have any suggestions as to what I should do?

Are you able to hear music through the headphone jack?
You may need to plug the headphones in & out a few times.
Also, try resetting and / or restarting the iPad.

What if your speakers aren't working on iPod

My iPod keeps on telling me that my headphones are plugged in and I don't know how to resolve this problem!

- 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.

Speakers aren't working on i pod touch 5. Very crackly and muffled.

Very crackly and muffled. I followed the directions to reset settings, didn't work. then I did a total restore. didn't work. Any ideas?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

V7.0.0.70 - Rear speakers not working

Having just updated to iTunes version 7.0.0.70, my rear speakers no longer work although they're fine with all other applications, just not iTunes. Even my Creative diagnostics say everything is fine.
I've been into QT and set the audio preferences so that "Sound Output" is:
Rate - 44.1 kHz
Size - 24bit
channels - 5.1 (L R C LFE Ls Rs)
...and still nothing. The front and centre ones work fine.
Reinstalled QT...nothing....Did a repair install and got the rear ones working but then had terrible distortion. Decided to trash iTunes and QT and reinstall, and now I'm back with no rear speakers
I'm running XP Pro SP2 (fully patched)
Anyone any ideas....please.

There seem to be loads of people with this problem, unfortunately there's also a deafening silence from Apple. Maybe their product testers are down the pub, where they clearly were when V7 was being developed. Are Apple the new Microsoft ????
I've gone back to 6.05 and HURRAH !!! all my speakers work again.
Moral of the story here is "if it ain't broke..." and if you must update then carefully reveiw the forums and web before taking the leap into the unknown.
