Inpire P5800 : No sound from center and rear speakers

I have just bought the Inspire P5800 speakers system (5.1) and only the two front speakers and the buffer produce sound. The problem may come from the fact I have an single output audio card (RealTek AC'97). Is there anything to do to have the sound coming out from the 5 speakers (expect buying a 5.1 audio card) ? I read my audio files with winamp and WMP.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I would really appreciate if somebody could reply to my query. Its been very frustating here.
In the meanwhile I have done the following troubleshooting more :
1) Took a head set and connected to all ports at the back of the sound card. Sound is coming from there.
2) Went ahead and removed the creative drive and the application.
3) did a search in the registry with the keyword as "Creative". Removed all entries that were found.
4) Reinstaled the latest drivers and the application.
5) Tried he card ina different PCI slot.
But everything has been to no avail. There is still no sound from the rear and front center speakers. Its really driving me nuts.
It seems as if the souncard is passing the signal to the sub woofer but it is not directing it to both these channels.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Regards,
Amit

  • No sound from Front and Rear Center Speakers

    Hi all,
    I have a Creative 6.1 6700 speaker set + Creative Sound blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
    Recently I have noticed that I am not getting any sound from my Front and Rear center speakers. The sound is being diverted to the sub woofer. Wehn i run checks the sound comes from the sub woofer rather then the speaker. I have checked all connection and checked all wiring. All Speaker are working fine and none is dead.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and then application but still no good. I am unable to figure out why this might be happening. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Also any idea why does the creative driver keep on crashing. It is one of the most unstable driver that I have seen. I have the latest driver and usually keep it up to date but still it does keeps on giving problems regularly.
    I have to say that till now the creative product has been a headache for me but I would have to make do with what I have. So all help needed here really.
    Regards,

  • PC Surround sound no center or rear speakers sound output

    Ok so i just bought a 5 peice Acoustic Authority 5.1 speakers and i had to buy a 5.1 sound card along, because the one i had did not support the speakers i had. Problem is, i plugged all 5 speakers in including the subwoofer but only my two front work. My front two are operating of the green jack in the back, my center is orange, and the rears the black jack. I tried to change the computer formatting and but i found out they were already set at 5.1. I have no idea as far as th e problem and i don't think it's the sound card because my front two work fine, and i tried all the others on a cd play and they worked just fine. anyone have any idea what i could do? is this a driver update problem? i have been lookin for new drivers, if anyone has any can you please give me the link or something.
    any help appreciated..thanks!

  • No sound from center speaker and static from Subwoofer

    Hello everyone,
    I have used the search function and found several topics with the title "no center sound" but none of them had a usefull solution for me. I am using a Medusa 5. Headset and have connected it correctly. Note that the setup worked for over 3 years, but aperently recently something in the settings must have changed since I noticed playing Fallout New Vegas, that my center sound is missing.
    Here are some facts :
    I am using Windows Vista home 64 Bit with the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer card
    Using the Creative Console Launcher ver. 2.6.09 (Settings on Game Mode, CMSS 3D disabled, Crystalizer disabled and EQ disabled). Clicking the center speaker for testing, gives me no sound. Clicking on the subwoofer gives me a static sound. Going to the settings "Bass" and enabling Bass Redirection. Doing the same test gives me a "dull, hollow, silent, very far away, hardly hearable" sound on center and the subwoofer speaker, but not a usefull result.
    Leaving the Creative Console Launcher and going to the standard Windows Vista sound menu, I can there click speakers for testing aswell. There is still no sound from the center speaker, however clicking on the subwoofer gives me a very nice bass sound, so working as intended for the subwoofer.
    I tested the center/subwoofer connection by connecting it to my Ipod, speakers are working.
    All drivers and application are the latest version.
    On the webpage of Speedlink (the manufacturer of my headset) they refer to a THX Console. I am sure I have seen that application on my system long time ago, but it is not installed anymore. I can't find it on the creative page either, so I am a bit confused where that program went (and even if it can help my problem).
    I am 99% sure it has to do with a setting somewhere in the software, but I can't find it. Any idea?

    Hi,
    Can you please launch your Creative Console Launcher and click on the Default checkbox? That should reset everything back to it's default settings. Run the speaker test again to see if you are getting sound from the center speaker.
    If possible please test the sound card on another computer, that should help you find out if the sound card is faulty or not.

  • No Sound from Center Spea

    Well, I got a few problems with my Creative Li've! 5. Digital (Model SB0220), but for purposes of practicality, I'll focus on the latest, most annoying problem.
    I get no in-game sound/ Media Player sound/ itunes sound/ etc. from my center speaker.
    That is to say, when I enter the Creative HQ, I test all fi've speakers of my Logitech X-530 5. Surround sound system, and ALL of them report back as working- I hear sound out of all of them.
    Background:
    I have enabled 5. support from my Creative HQ, I have used the install CD to install the software, although my drivers have failed to properly install, like many people report with these 5. Digital cards. Having said that however, I still get good sound from the remaining four speakers in my system, and they seem to function well for games/movies, but that **bleep** center speaker is annoying me.
    I've tried re-installing the drivers I was able to find on www.driverguide.com, and got the same "Unable to detect any Sound Card on your system" message that everyone with my card seems to get, so I tried to manually install the drivers by extracting the file, going to the audio/WinXp_2k folder and applying those drivers to the 'unknown audio controller' in my Device Manager, but again- no dice.
    I don't want to have to re-format my computer just to get this to work, and I'd love some feedback as to how to proceed from here.

    So I've got a new speaker set now, and tried it out... to my immense disappointment I still don't get anything from the center speaker. Is there something special you have to do to get this thing working? There's always that chance I missed something, or am I just stuck with a defect in my Audigy card?
    edit: I have just tried it with the onboard AC97 sound chip, and then the center speaker works :s (why didn't I think of that beforehand)
    So is there something special you need to enable with the Audigy card setup or is mine simply defect? 'Cause this isn't really how it should be, buying a sound card for better sound and then noticing the lowly onboard soundchip works far better...Message Edited by 65532 on 2-03-2005 0:09 PMMessage Edited by 65532 on 2-03-2005 0:0 PM

  • No Sound From Center Speaker [Win 7]

    $No Sound From Center Speaker [Win 7]? Hi,
    I downloaded the Darkest of Days demo and noticed that the speech volume was very low if i positioned it center of the camera. But if i positioned it on the left or right of the camera, the speech volume would increase. I found it strange.
    I closed the game. And ran my speakers through window's speaker test. Every speaker responded with a sound. Unconvinced, i opened a few songs. That's when i noticed the center speaker wasn't producing a sound. Even on 5. content (movies & music) the center speaker wouldn't work.
    **bleep**, no wonder those AC3 movies had low speech and i had to manually boost the speech volume. I noticed the low sound in games before too...but i attributed it to the 5. surround thing. Guess i was wrong!

    Can you clarify that are getting the voice when you play the DVDs/CDs?If you are not getting the voice and you are getting the sounds only? Then there could be some connectivity issue for Center Speaker.Pl check the connections .. Regds Balu

  • Sound out of both rear speakers when I test back left, but nothing when test back rig

    Hi All
    This has probably been posted before but I can't find the answer.
    I have a sound blaster x-fi Fatalty platinum card (just upgraded from extreme music)and I am having trouble with sound settings on my speakers. (this happened with the music card to). When I run the speaker setup i get front right,left,center and sub perfectly fine but when it comes to the rear thats another problem. When it says rear right there is no sound of the rear right speaker, when it says rear left I get sound out of both rear speakers.
    When installing the platinum I uninstalled the drivers and program both in windows xp and vista (I have a dual boot machine) and reinstalled from scratch but it still does this. (this happens on both windows)
    I have a set of Logitech 5500 speakers connected by analog and no digital connection as I use it for games only. On the speakers it is set to Direct input with the effect as 6 channel(which is the way I have always had it when it was working).
    My system specs are: Intel 6850 dual core cpu, X-FI extreme platinum, EVGA 8800 GTX video card, 2 gigs of ram, Win xp/Vista premium dual boot, Logitech 5500 5. speakers, Dell 24 inch LCD Monitor.
    Any help pointing me in the right direction would be great.
    I thank you all in advance.

  • I only get sound from the computer's speakers even though I put in headphones

    I have for a while now had the problem that I only get sound from the computer's speakers even though i plug in the headphones, I have rebooted the computer but still the same problem occurs. So i thought there might be someting wrong in the settings, when i open the soundsettings and plug in my headphones nothing happens, usually I believe there should be a text appearing that says that the sound is now going to headphones, am I right? any how, it still just sends the sound out to the speakers and there is no option to send it else where then "soundflower 2ch and soundflower 16ch".
    I do have an external sound card, for music recording, that goes through USB, and when i plug that in i get the option to send the sound to that device and also to recive sound and i can also choose if i want to sent it to the computer's speakers. So could it be someting wrong with the headphone jack?

    Good day!
    Thank you for writing to the Dell Community Forum.
    Boot into the System Bios and make sure that Onboard Devices- Integrated Audio is On. Then exit the System Bios saving the change. Once back into Windows, open the Device Manager and make sure that ADI1983 HDA appears under Sound devices. Then re-test the rear green audio jack #4 using headphones. Also, reply to this post with the service tag of the system sent via private message so that I can look into the details of the system and assist you better.
    Have a great day ahead.

  • VFL Speaker sound from both the front speakers while FR sound is not coming out at all.

    I have a creative gigaworks s750 connected to a xtreme gamer sound card. The system was working absolutely fine but now it has started behaving very strangely; system is playing back Front Left Speaker sound from both the front speakers while Front Right sound is not coming out at all. If i click the front right speaker in audio console speaker setup wizard, no sound comes. However when i click the front left speaker, sound comes out of both speakers. I counter checked it with playing 5.1 dts movie and muting all the speakers except the front left one from ac3 filter, sound came out of both the front speakers. However when i muted all the channel except the front right, no sound was coming out of front right speaker.

    Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread.  I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones.  The next morning--no speaker sound.
    I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack.  But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.  
    Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
    When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound!  I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

  • My center and side speakers are not working with my gigaworks 7.1 with a sb live 5.1 soundcard?

    There doesnt seem to be any sound coming out of my center and side speakers. I have an sb live 5. sound card. Pls help.
    Thank you.
    I have tried changing the setting the settings to 5.1 on my speaker creative panel and upmixing to 7.1 but no luck.

    hyper-dood,
    Make sure you have enable CMSS in playcenter for the sound card. Next, check that the upmix function in the speaker volume control pod and set to 5.1->7.1 upmix.

  • No sound from internal or external speakers

    Imac 27" mid-2011 running Maverics 10.9.3  I'm not getting any sound from internal or ext. speakers.  I can hear the startup sound when booting up.
    System Preferences->Sound only shows Digital Out for OUTPUT and Output Volume is maxed and can't be adjusted.  Mute is NOT checked.
    I've done an SMC and PRAM reset with no change.  I've tried multiple times plugging and unplugging the external speaker cable jack.
    Any suggestions would be most welcome.

    Hey krawfo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you are not getting sound from your speakers. I see you have tried different things to try and resolve this. This article is a good resource for this issue.

  • No sound from center speaker during calibration, games, DVD movies (have already read the stic

    For those that point at the sticky topic, let me just say that I've already read it, implemented the suggestions there, and it has provided no result.
    My setup is an Audigy 2 ZS card mated with Altec Lansing VS35 5. speakers. I've connected the cables correctly, enabled CMSS, updated my drivers to the latest version, but during Speaker Calibration, playing games, watching DVD movies, there is no output from the center speaker. If I watch encoded movies (avi files), I can hear sound from the center speaker. So what seems to be the problem? Anyone got any suggestions?Message Edited by mofo on 03-9-2005 08:0 AM

    I have the same problem, games and music etc all speakers work, but during the tests/calibration I get no sound from rear speakers, center or the sub...... help please! (from the firewire port out the plugs all go as follows: yellow, black, green)

  • No sound from Center or Subwoofer during Calibrat

    I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS and the Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5. Speaker System. During speaker calibration, I hear the test tones from Left, Left Rear, Right, Right Rear but not from Center or Subwoofer (the indicator flashes over the center speaker icon in the graphic but no sound comes out - same with the subwoofer).
    I know the subwoofer works when playing music but have not heard anything from the center speaker.
    Any ideas?
