Can't get my 4.1 speakers to work, only 2 channel stereo

I formated and restored my laptop because I thought I was having Vista issues but it turned out to be bad memory, so I replaced both sticks. Now I can't find any way for vista to enable my 4.1 speakers and I'm only getting sound from 2...and no subwoofer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several versions of the audio drivers but still no luck. I don't know if it's a vista issue or a driver issue or a hardware issue...I can't figure it out. Is there anyway to check if the 4.1 speakers are hooked up internally somewhere? Or does anyone have any other ideas what it might be?
Forgot to mention I have an X205.

  • Can't get Behringer MS20 external speakers to work with Optical Audio Out

    I have the MS20 (Just your basic digital audio monitors with analogue and digital inputs:both coaxial and optical) speakers hooked up to the optical output from my new Mac Pro and can't get any sound from them.
    I've messed around with all the sound preferences in both the System Preferences and with iTunes and DVD player with no luck.
    The speakers work fine with other digital equipment I have and there is a red light comming through the cable. The speakers instructions do specify that they are compatable with the SPDIF signal. Any ideas???

    I've previously had trouble getting the sound output to swap over however I did manage to get it done. What I needed to do was to change the output, change the volume up & down via the keyboard, change the output back to the internals, change the volume up & down and so on and after the 2nd/third try the external output worked.

  • Can't get USB powered external speakers to work...

    I'm using Windows XP Pro, and for some reason, iTunes won't play through a pair of Logitech V-20 portable USB-powered speakers. I've checked all the settings I can think of, and everything seems to be set okay. If I use WMP, the sound goes through the speakers....and if I generate a computer sound (beep) through iTunes, it plays through the speakers. However, iTunes music is only playing through the laptop speakers. In fact, these speakers have a play/pause button that communicates with iTunes....and also previous track/next track buttons that also work with iTunes. If I plug different speakers into the headphone port, they work fine....and I didn't have this problem on a previous XP Pro computer when using iTunes (although I think it was an earlier version). I'm running the latest version of iTunes. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

  • Can't get Dolby and DTS options to work

    Hi!
    Could anyone help me with my new Sound Blaster Z soundcard. I can't get Dolby and DTS options to work with my optical cabel under Cinematic tab in Pro Studio. I've googled enough, tried basically everything. Cinematic tab was never greyed out from the beginning. It either gave me intense, very high pitch noice when you acticated Dolby or DTS options or now... giving error which states:
    "The SPDIF-out (Sound Blaster Z) device is currently being used by another application. Please close any application that may be playing audio to this device and try again."
    I've re-installed drivers numerous times, tried different Windows operating system (7 and 8.1). Speakers (Sound Blaster Z) is made as default device, other stuff is disabled. I seriously don't know what to do, I'm god **** frustrated, because apart from Cinematic tab not working the sound isn't that great compared to my integrated motherboard soundchip.
    // If it matters my speakers are Edifier S530D

    Hi Kimbie,
    Are you able to play back mp3 audio tracks?
    I'm suspecting you are trying to play back encoded content.
    Do share more details here so that I can assist you further.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

    It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
    Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
    *Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
    *Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
    *Press Yes

    Not sure if this will help anyone, but I had trouble installing on 10.8.
    I then found this particular support page:

    Be patient with the download, it takes some time ... When it has downloaded, follow the install instructions. It works well.
    I use the printer through usb but my wife uses wireless from her PC laptop.

  • I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint

    Hi!
    So it seem's that I can't get my HP laserjet p1102w to work with airprint. I got it to send out it's own Wi-Fi signal, and i get in touch with that signal on my iPad 3. But when I wan't to print something out from Pages, then it says that it can't find any airprinters.
    I tried to update the firmware several times, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions to what I can do?

    Hey T-racer,
    As a work-around you can also use the HP eprint method which is available with your printer. The application (HP Home & Biz) is available for free in the apple catalogue.
    You can find more info on it here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03128518&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=4110396&tmp_track_link=ot_search
    It shares many of the same capabilities of airprint but is a different program/feature.
    If you have any questions, just ask!
    I work with HP.
