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.

Audigy 4 rear speakers prob

Hi.
I've got a problem with my sound.
I use a Audigy 4 pro with the external unit and a Cambridge Soundworks (Creative) DTT3500 digital speakerset. The external unit only sends the digital signal to the speakerset.
When I Test the speakers the sound "Rear right" comes from front right and "Rear left" comes from front left. Front speakers and center speaker sound works fine. Untill now I had no problems with my sound. I didn't change a thing. Speakers and software options haven't changed. The EAX console says 5. speakers. CMSS is off. I've installed the latest drivers and that also didn't make a difference. I think the problem started after I installed a logitech webcam but if I disconnect the webcam the problem stays.
Help please.

I had exactly the same problem. Only solution for me was to slightly withdraw the 4 pin plug from the Audigy 4.
I guess that means it is now acting as a three pin plug, but works for me. I don't know why?:angry:

External speakers not working with iMac and Lion

I have a dual core imac with Lion and external speakers I just bought from Apple. I cannot get them to work with itunes or anything else on the imac. Can anyone tell me what to do? They work well with an ipod touch, but not the iMac.

Hmmm. I plugged the speakers into the headphone jack. they are the Audyssey Lower East Side Media Speakers. When I hoty option on the menu bar, headphones are checked as output. When I go to system preferences and check output, all it says is "headphone port." Still no change.

[SOLVED] Graphic Corruption with 3D and Wine 1.3.8 + Catalyst 10.11

Hello!
I'm getting graphic corruption with 3D games on my Arch Linux configuration using Wine and Catalyst. Tried World of Warcraft (also with opengl rendering) and Guild Wars - graphics look stretched and teared.
Using ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I get same problem with guildwars in fullscreen when entering character select. I have to ctrl-alt-F1 to tty then back to get rid of the garbled graphics. Then my characters vanishes except for their armor/effects. Going into windowed mode stops the garbling of the graphics but the bodyless avatars remain. There is one error stands out in wine output but can't find anything specific to this error that helps.

Anyone have any luck with steam and wine

im trying to get any steam to work with wine and so far i've had no luck.
i have a 512 ATI RADEON X1600 graphics card and im using the open source ati driver.
have had some success with counterstrike 1.6. I start a game (local) but it is extremely choppy/laggy.
does anyone have any pointers on how to get it to run more smoothly?

I don't know how well the open source drivers are going to handle games, catalyst may work better but you will have to use the legacy driver (here) for an X1600, and it doesn't work with the most recent kernel.

USB drives compatible with MAC and Win

Can anyone help me out. I need to encrypt my USB drive but such that it can be decrypted by both my Mac and a Windows machine.
1) If I encrypt the USB drive using the MAC to create an encrypted disk image, will the Windows machine be able to access this disk image?
2) Is there a decent USB drive on the market with encryption software compatible with both Mac and Windows machines?
Thanks for any help (and excuse my Mac ignorance !)

I have the same issue and ended up damaging my USB when Sandisk tried to format it so it can be used for MAC. Its very frustrating that all these big companies can't make MAC compatible software. What's more frustrating is that they advertise their product saying it works with WINDOWS n MAC but when you go check out the encryption software then its only windows compatible.

Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard with Bootcamp and Win XP Pro 32-bit

Does the Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard work with Boot Camp running Windows XP Pro (32-Bit)... I read something leading me to believe there maybe a problem and you need to use a wired USB mouse/Keyboard.
Is this true?

Apple Wireless Keyboard is able to work in Boot Camp via Window XP Pro, it's good enough.
but the Magic Mouse, it's not able to work completely in Window XP Pro,
it's just work like a normal bluetooth wireless mouse,
all the Multi-Touch features like scroll, rotate, swipe, pinch and tap click are not gonna work,
even you are configure via the snow leopard, so please be reconsider.

Question: Updating T61 with SSD and Win 7 64bit?

First, my apologies for giving up so quickly and posting after my initial searching. The support pages and forums have changed considerably since I've been here last and drivers/updates don't seem as easy to find as they were before.
I have a 2008-2009 era T61 / Nvidia 140M currently running XP. It's still in good shape running well so I've decided to add memory, a Crucial SSD drive (listed as compatible on their site advisor tool) and Windows 7 64 bit.
My plan is to:
(1) Update BIOS which is currently on 2.25 to latest (good idea or bad?) and consider middleton later if things are stable
(2) Install SSD drive making sure BIOS is set to AHCI (and I've checked to see there are no firmware updates for the drive from manufacturer)
(3) Install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
(4) Install Lenovo System Update application and run
(5) Run Windows update
Will this give me all I need or do I need to download some things, e.g. drivers, separately before starting the Windows install?
I see the Thinkvantage tools of the past (Prodcutivity center, Tool Box, etc) are gone and apparently replaced by Lenovo Solutions Center. The T61 is not listed as supported. Is there an alternative I missed?
(6) Install other apps, utilities, etc.
Thanks much

Welcome to the forum!
Your plan sounds good, I personally would do first 5) instead of 4) but that's just me. I would also do the middleton update first (or better said, after the BIOS update).

- (Fix) Fixed an issue where the external display might have blank screen after
closing the lid "When I close the lid: Do nothing" was selected in
Power Options on Windows Vista.

No rear speakers with quicktime update

Once I updated quicktime about 3 versions ago, I can't seem to get the rear speakers to play with videos. All four speakers work fine with music and any other file but just not with movies.
Anyone have similar problems and know how to fix this? So far I've just been reinstalling the old version which is a bit of a pain since everytime I update itunes it automatically installs the new quicktime.
I'm using a Dell 5100 with windows xp and a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card

Try installing the latest version of iTunes (7.0.1.8) from Apple's website. It fixed this problem for me although QuickTime is still showing version 7.1.3.

Muffled audio from rear speakers using Audigy Gamer

I just upgraded my mobo to the asrock 939Dual-SATA2, and was using the 7. onboard audio until the buzzing/humming everytime I moved the mouse finally got to me. I also missed being able to skew the sound slightly to my rear speakers.
I finally decided to reinstall my Audigy Gamer. I was very disappointed to discover the rear speakers playing awfully. The music is very muffled and nothing like the front speakers.
Before I upgraded my mobo these monsoon 5. speakers played great with the audigy gamer. They also played great with the 7. onboard audio.
Can anyone help me?

Read through this lot and see how you go.

No sound from rear speakers; SB audigy 2; Logitech X-530; CMSS is enabled; Win

I have the above setup but am getting no sound out of the rear speakers.
I have tried the self-help route of looking at all of the suggestions to prevois posters, and tried as many as seemed different. eax -> cmss CMSS is turned on (CMSS2 also tried, but still no sound). Drivers reloaded, and updated fromt eh Creative web site. Other sound-related hardward on the PC are: Guitarport - this connects into the line in on the SC card and a Philips SPC900NC webcam with a built-in microphone. I saw a rreply on a Logitech webcam causing issues because of the echo cancelling. Cannot find any equivalent in the philips tho'. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
I am running into the same problem. I had a audigy and the sound test would not output sound to the rear or center speakers. I then tried an x-fi card - same problem.
I also tried a different set of speakers... I am pulling my hair out here. This used to work great, can't figure it out. When I run through the speaker test with the x-fi, I hear everything coming out of the front two speakers. It says "rear right" out of the front right speaker. It also says "front right" out of that same speaker.

Problem with Rear Speakers (Inspire P5800)

Hi,
I have bought the Inspire P5800 Sound System but I have a problem. When I do a soundtest with the driver software all speakers work but when I want to listen to music with Musicmatch Jukebox I don't get any sound on the rear speakers. I have on board AC97 sound on a Gigabyte K8NS motherboard.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks!
robertthronhill

robertthronhill,
That's normal as music are mostly in stereo and that's 2 channel only. Creative sound card have CMSS feature that upmix stereo to surround soundfield but since you are using onboard audio, you will have to check with your mainboard manufacturer if those audio card have similar feature also.
