Audigy And 5.1 Sound In Quicktime 7-- center channel doesn't wo

I've posted this on Quicktime's website, but it doesn't seem to be a problem with other soundcards. When playing a Quicktime7 movie with 5. audio, the center channel is silent on my Audigy card. Games, etc. all utilize the center channel just fine.
I don't know who is to blame, but it's really really annoying. Creative should work with Apple to make sure things are 00% with regards to this.
-- By the way, this is with the latest Audigy beta drivers, from Creative's website.Message Edited by delusion_ on --2005 03:38 AM

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....

Various types of sound out of center channel on

So lets see, quicktime movie trailers, music in winamp, games,?MSN nudge sound, ?-they all come out all 5. channels (Z-5500s)?But the audio for flash movies I've had on my computer, some WMP videos, MSN new message sounds - these are all center channel only - and werent on my last system.
another thing - if I change the audio settings under control panel to quadraphonic - they do come out all the speakers, back to 5....... center channel only. its very distracting and stupid to not be utilizing all the speakers for things like a video. whats the deal here? Thanks for the help in advance.

apparently the issue might be that the X-Fi/console just plays mono encoded material through center only?
i preferred when it utilized all the speakers for things like that anyways on my audigy gamer...
is this the case?
edit: CONFIRMED. I found the msn sounds, and haha the NUDGE IS STEREO and the TYPE is MONO. Explains everything! now to get Creative to fix it....
Further:
with CMSS3D off, mono will play over both R and L, just with no seperation of course. (but then your rears center will never be used by pretty much anything outside of games)
with it On XPAND, it will play through center only. (4 not being used)
with it on SURROUND, it will play through center and rears, but not front L and R. (the 2 most important ones arguably not being used)
seemingly on my Audigy , all speakers would be used even for mono sources. So am I correct in guessing they changed things?
All speakers should be used for mono sources.
Can creative update this in a new driver?
EDIT: ARG I just found out it only happens in "entertainment mode" at that! Game mode does 4/5 (not centre). What is the reasoning for this?Message Edited by deusfaux on 03-0-200609:2 PM

5.1 X-gamer and center channel of 5.1 speak

Hello,
first post may as well be a good one..
Ive read the FAQ and tried the options listed. im working with a week old install so not much on the dri've other than world of warcraft and MS office. Im running windoze XP pro on a AMD Sempron 2500+(.75ghz) with gig of ram and a nvidia GEforce6800GT video card. I have had this sound card a while, like 5 or 6 years. Ive connected a brand new Logitech X-5530 sound system to my X-gamer 5. sound card. everything sounds awesome excpet the center channel. Ive connected the center channel to the main output jack and got sound, so i know the speaker is functioning. the sub and center channel share a line on the X-530 speaker wires and the sub is working. however i get no sound out of the center channel. I tested this with the Creative Audio HQ panel set on 5. speakers. all other channels i hear the "front right, front left" etc... but center channel is totally silent.
any ideas?

Hmm, first go through windows control panel - sound and Audio Devices. Ensure you card is selected in all setup menus.
If "use only default devices is ticked, untick it.
Try S/PDIF and see if that works.
D/L this program - ?rightmark-3dsound-2.2 and run it just to tes things.

X-Fi Fatal1ty No sound from rear or center in speaker tests?

I just installed the X Fi Fatalty Xtreme Gamer and cannot get sound from the rear, center or subwoofer in the speaker tests. All the speakers (Logitech G-5 Gamer)?work playing MP3's but that's it. Installed latest drivers uninstalled an reinstalled card etc?Can anyone help with this before I box everything up and ship it back to newegg? Running Vista 64Message Edited by ovrclkd on 0-23-200807:6 PM

After carefully checking this again, it turns out clicking front left or right the sound comes out BOTH the front and rear. To make things more confusing when all but the line (green) 3.5 jack was unplugged ALL the speakers would work. LONG STORY SHORT I SENT THIS P.O.S. BACK TO NEWEGG FOR REFUND. Every thing works great with the onboard audio, I'm in the market for a 7. that works.Maybe Auzentech? Any suggestions?!! With all the issues the peeps are having someone must be using a card that works out of the box in Vista 64

Audigy 4 (Non Pro) and center channel surround sound - from 2 channel aud

Hi all,?Is there a way to have voice coming from the center speaker during TV programs like you could using an external receiver with Pro Logic? I can't for the life of me, get my Audigy 4 to do this. I run MCE 2005 on a couple of machines in the house. On my other machine, with built in audio, I let the Purevideo decoder handle this and I get? a nice surround, complete with center channel voice on it while watching TV. On the machine with the Audigy 4, not only will it not give me the center channel while watching TV, but I can't get it to stop processing the sound so that I can simply use the decoding of the Purevideo Decoder... Stumped!?Thanks,?Stu

Sound Blaster Audigy and STAL

I've got the following problem. In game called "S. T.A.L.K.E.R" i can hear very lound sounds of shooting and very silence people conversations.
I've got "Sound Blaster Audigy" and Creative Speakers.

Hi,
There are several choices if it comes to Audigy (emu0kx) drivers;
First you can use the last official Creative Labs' driver for the Audigy series which you can download on the official driver download site here at Creative Labs' site, but you will loose a lot of apps/softwares, but it should work;
The second one would be the mentioned Daniel_K's driverpack 3.8 for the Audigy series which works pretty good, although I dislike the individual installers/uninstallers for each applications which makes uninstallation of the driver very annoying.
The third one would be the Project KX driver which is very light in size but very powerful, especially for recording and other music related purposes. There's a learning curve since it really looks different (interfaces for example), but once you have found out how the KX driver works you will be happy you own an genuine Audigy emu0kx soundcard.

Audigy 2 ZS Gamer was working fine, and now it sounds really distort

Yesterday I was playing Doom3 and wow does it ever sound nice I had the EAX 4 enabled since it's been available for Doom3. Now today I'm not sure wtf is going on, listening to anything with my headphones which I always use by the way sounds like crap, muffled and garbled all the sounds are very wrong, like I'm tuning into an AM station but not exactly tuned right on. I did a clean uninstall of the Creative drivers and a new install and it still sounds like crap, nothing in my computer has changed, I'm fully updated with all the drivers, could it be dust or is my card dieing?? Please help.

You will need to reply to this post with more details in a fashion that people can see what troubleshooting you have performed so far.
Also please make a note of the way you have it setup in the mixer etc, do you have a volume control on the headphones? Are you volume levels way to high through the properties area? Does it sound the same through the speakers as it does the headphones?

Sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum sound probl

Ok So let me give you the specs on my computer first,?Windows xp home editionAbit IN9 32 MAX Mobo2 Gigs corsair xms ram2 8800ultra sli gpusLogitech?z-5300 SpeakersSound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum sound card2 Samsung 500 gig HD?I dont believe that my problem is the same as is in the crackling sound thread. So here is my dilema. Up untill about 4 days ago everything was working fine with my sound system. I have the Logitech speakershooked up to my audigy 2 zs along with my xbox 360 in the optical in on the front plate. So like i said about 4 days ago i started playing a movie on my computer and i have the ac3 codec installed on my computer with comunity codec pack and i know that you could say that those 2 things could be my problem i know enough to know that that probably isnt. So when i played the movie and when to the ac3 codec and turned on dolby decoding so that i would decode it to all my speakers everything worked fine. Then when i turned on spdif decoding my center speaker?started to crackle so i figured it was just becuase i was useing spdif and dolby decoding at the same time. so i turned that off and then went to go play my xbox 360 in which i have pluged into the optical in part on the front plate. Everything had always worked fine for that i have dolby digital decodeing on for the audigy. So i started to play a game i realized that i center speaker was crackling on there too. So i started to realize that no matter what i did the center speaker was crackling. I even changed out the center and sub stereo jack on the card for the front left and right and then they started to crackle in that spot. So i dont know what the hell is going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated i was thinking of restoring my computer but i dont know whether that is necessary. I also dont want to have to go out and by the x-fi elite pro tomarrow unless I absolutely have to.Message Edited by TasteOfChaos on 0-0-20080:02 PM

I am brand new to this message system but I am so desperate for help I thought I would try it. After reading lots of comments I find that my problem may be more the rule than the exception. I have an Audigy @ Platinum card and all I ever get from it is crackling and popping. I have been around and around with Creative support but nothing they tell me results in a fix. I am so disgusted at this point that I am ready to just trash the whole thing. I have gone through the BIOS and checked so many settings its a shame. Still crackling and popping. I NEED SPECIFIC ANSWERS FROM SOMEBODY...not just the generic flip the wingle wangle to port xyz and move this to that. here has got to be an answer to this maddening problem. The other thing is that now I can't get my MIDI keyboard to play back. I must have turned something off in the set up process but now I have no idea what to do.
If anyone has any solid answers for me PLEASE come forward with them before I kill someone!

Can't get sound in QuickTime - please help

Hi
I purchased the Quicktime pro and downloaded codecs from perian first - I tried playing an .avi file movie and got no sound. Then I downloaded codecs from DivX player site - and still no sound - video is fine.
I have sound using other formats and also when watching trailers on the internet
Thank You

You might try Perian plugin for QuickTime. I actually haven't come across anything since I've installed it to really try it out but it seems to be getting very good reviews everywhere I've seen it mentioned.
Obviously you're not going to be able to get Quicktime to play everything just like you can't get VLC or Windows Media Player or Real..... but you just kind of have to keep finding the proper plugins for all the various media out there.

No sound with quicktime MPEG 2 program

I bought yesterday the Mpeg2 option. The problem is that the mpg files have no sound sound when i play them. Theses files come from windows recorded with a sony HD camera. If i use the program Mplayer ( freeware ) everything is ok. Can you tell me what can i do to have sound with quicktime mpeg2

Can you tell me what can i do to have sound with quicktime mpeg2
What Klaus1 is attempting to point out is that the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback Component is a video only component. As such, the audio is compatible only if the audio format in the multiplexed file is already QT compatible with your system configuration. An MPEG file normally consists of MPEG-2 video (handled by the component you purchased) which is multiplexed with MPEG-1 layer audio (MP1, MP2, or MP3), AC3, or PCM audio. If all you want to do is make your file playable with audio in the QT X and/or QT 7 media player, then the easiest approach is to simply convert the non-playing audio compression format to one that is supported. In most cases that would be an MPEG file type containing MPEG-2 video (from the source file) re-multiplexed with MPEG-1, Layer 2 (MP2) audio. This is a very common combination compatible with both Mac and PC platforms.
Since you already have the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback component installed, all you really need is the free MPEG Streamclip application. Simply open the file in MPEG Streamclip, select the "Convert to MPEG with MP2 audio..." option, and provide a new name for your target file. The Streamclip application will then de-mux the file, convert the audio (probably AC3) to MP2 audio, re-mux the MP2 audio with the original MPEG-2 video and copy it to the newly named MPEG file container. Since the video is not re-compressed by this action, the work flow is reasonably fast. Further, if you have a lot of files to convert, you can even set up a batch list of files to be converted. MPEG Streamclips is a very handy application and highly recommended if you plan to do much trimming/limited editing of MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 content on a Mac.

No sound from Quicktime 7

Trying to watch .avi, shows perfectly - but no sound. i have tried going into applications/utilities/audio setup etc...but still doesn't work.
Can anyone help this novice mac user?

First, identify what type of audio encoding is used then look for a component to support it in QuickTime or use an alternative player.
To identify the file*, video and audio** format of a movie or sound file:
QuickTime Player:
Open the file
Window menu > Show movie info
Look in the Format: field
**Note that recently someone posted in the forum that QuickTime Player failed to display any audio information for a file which did play with audio (A52) in VLC.
MPlayer OSX:
Show the playlist window if it isn't already visible.
Drag the movie file into the playlist window.
Select the movie in the list
Click the "i" button for info
VLC:
Open the movie in VLC
Window menu > Info
Click the black triangles so that they point down
*Note that VLC does not display the file format, only the format of the content (audio and video) within the file. A file ending in .divx for instance, is probably in actuality an avi file but VLC doesn't show that information - MPlayer will and QuickTime Player will - if - QuickTime Player will open the file to begin with.
QuickTime components, newer info is further down...

Soundblaster Audigy and Windows

I've just installed Windows XP on a new hard dri've. I'm running an older computer with a 700mhz Celeron processor with an Audigy soundcard. On Windows ME it worked fine, but since upgrading, sounds work fine, but when I try playing music of any kind it locks my machine up so bad I have to shut it down manually. I've tried reinstalling Windows and the soundcard drivers, and nothing works. Is there a known issue with the Audigy and Windows XP?
I'm greatful for anything you can tell me, I'm at a loss.
Thank you

Why bother with Microsoft?
They didn't even add in 6. in Windows XP
Seriously, use Creative Speaker Settings.

Audigy and vista build 5

hello,
i have a Audigy sound card and using Vista build 5308.
i was wondering if there is any solution for the BSOD that appears when restarting/shutdown the pc. am i the only one with this error ? i realise these drivers were released for beta but still...
also, 5. sound is not working. after setting from control panel to 5. sound, only the front, center speakers and the subwoofer works.
when setting 5. speakers, wmp crashes too.
thanks,
OJi.

Hello Deadly,?Go and get ALchemy and install it. then go into the program folder (of ALchemy) and copy the dsound.dll and dsound.ini to your Executable folder. Which should be something like C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/(account name)/hl2.
Then modify the INI file and put the duratino to 5 and that should fix your problem.
Tried it on my CSS (not in game but rather the TEST YOUR SPEAKER button) and everything is back to normal after this.
Hope this helps

Audigy and ddts-

After i opened the box today and hooked up the ddts to my promedia 5. ultras....i was very happy. I am running my ps2 into it with a toslink, and it sounds great. I have a audigy regular (mp3 or gamer), and the only setup I can get to work with it is with the digital coax and the converter to /8, HOWEVER, when using the digital coax i do NOT have the option of anything but stereo! I got the ddts mainly for up-mixing my mp3s. Can you get anything else (ie prologic, or neo6? is there a better way to hook them up? I tried using an old cable i had laying around from an old minidisk player that has one side /8th and the other toslink, however I'm not sure if it even works correctly in this application. I tried hooking up from the audigy to the ddts with a /8th to rca, and could not get any sound, except for some buzzing in the center channel. I also recieved today my creative audigy 2 zs notebook, however my dell inspiron 9200 wont get here for a few days . Will I have similiar problems with this? If it turns out my toslink to /8th cable is faulty my plan was to go buy a toslink cable and the /8th converter and use it that way. Will that work properly with my new notebook and/or my current desktop? My goal was to have all three components (ps2, notebook, desktop) hooked up digitally (I love anything and everything 5., including my mp3s). Should I be having this problem with my audigy and the digital coax? Should the /8th to rca work?
Thanks a lot,
Mike

Analog output on the soundcard --> DDTS-100 switchbox
Switchbox --> DDTS-100 main unit
Switchbox --> Speakers
Digital out on the soundcard --> Coaxial input on the DDTS-100 main unit
The digital output on the soundblaster can ONLY SEND OUT EITHER A PCM STEREO SIGNAL OR AN ENCODED DATA STREAM (AC-3). In order to make the DDTS-100 decode the data stream correctly you MUST have the software set to SPDIF passthrough and also have that set in the Audio HQ or the Audio console. Put the switchbox to decoder mode. The only way to light up the lights of the DTS and Dolby Digital is to feed the main unit with an encoded data stream of those sound formats. If you try to play anything and put it through the digital out that is not DTS or DD you are going to get... Stereo.
In order to get sound from the side speakers you must first set the switch on the back of the DDTS-100 main unit to 6.1/7.1 and set the upmix to 5.1-->7.1 or 6.1-->7.1 (depending on the source) on the main volume controller of the S750.
