Inspire 5.1 5700 Digital system not working correctly

I have a Inspire 5.1 5700 Digital speaker system that has some issue's.
The front speakers are all that is working with center channel low volume , the Sub and Rear speakers are not working according to set-up in software , But Sub is working in games and with Music.
I had been using an MSI P67/ G43 MB onboard sound. Today I gave up and purchased a new sound card, an Audigy Rx. Installed the drivers, did the update for drivers. I was working w/ speaker set up and mic setup and I still have the same problem.
I am thinking there has been a change in the drivers or windows 7, that the controller does not recognize. I have checked all speakers and the are working.
I also am using the Optical output to the controller.

Ok , I changed it to SPDIF and it only shows 2 channel @ Hz. in the test that pops up, only 2 front speakers are activated. In Arma 3 , it seems to have 5.1 sound again now.
I used to be able to set up and test the speakers and set the front / rear balance and fade thru the software. I am un able to do that an again, the source is not Optical but SPDIF.
So, what am I doing wrong here ??
and thank you for the quick response and help O))
Hi RonReagan,
SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital Interconnect Format) basically has 2 types of connection: Optical and Coaxial. In this case, you are using an Optical connection. Hence, it is known as SPDIF Optical.
It is correct that you received 2 audio channels during speaker test via an optical connection. An alternative way is to initiate the test through the Windows audio endpoint for SPDIF Out (optical Out).
At the Sound of the Windows Control Panel, configure SPDIF Out as the default device. Click on the Properties. At the Supported Formats tab, check the box for DTS Audio or Dolby Digital. Click on the Test button to initiate the speaker test. You should able to test for the rear speakers.
Cheers,
JL-CL

  • Standalone PDF file system not working correctly

    I have built a website http://greatayton.wikidot.com/ where one PDF Menu file calls up lots of other PDF files.
    I now want to use the same menu system to call PDF files on a PC hard disk with the Internet turned off.
    I used hyperlinks to link from the PDF Meny to the PDF files.
    This works but first calls up Internet Explorer then displays the actual file which makes the operation slow and unweildy.
    How do I just get the hyperlinks to call up the PDF files?

    Hi,
    Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Select the Bios option ( usually f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory.  Post back with the details of any error messages.
    Note:  If the option to run these tests is not available in the Bios Menu, use the f2 diagnostic menu instead.
    Can you also post back with the following details.
    1.  The full Model No. and Product No. of your notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.
    2.  The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 64bit ).

  • System Update not working correctly

    Hi forum,
    System Update (Version 4.00.0024) is not working correctly on my T500 with Windows 7.
    1: Not detecting old versions
    SU is not detecting, that there is an old version of Access Connection (5.42) installed although there is a new version 5.50 avaliable. I had to do a manual update.
    2: Not installing a suggested update
    Each time I run SU, I get a suggested update for "Fix for Issue of HDD with HDP Detection for Windows Vista/7". After downloading there comes a meaningless message "package was not installed" (Paket wurde nicht installiert). No hint for any error.
    3: Some drivers (e.g. for the ultranav) have not been downloaded at all - I had to test the functions of some hardware components and download the appropriate drivers manually in case of malfuncion.
    Probably there is a solution known within the forum community, at least this should be a message to lenovo (I received no response from the help desk when reporting this finding).
    Regards

  • Sound blaster not working correctly?

    Sound blaster not working correctly #I have a 64 bit, windows vista system.
    A Logitech Z-5500 Digital speaker system (one woofer, center speaker, left, right, rear right, left rear speakers, and a seperate control head).
    I have an X-fi gamer sound card.
    I recently formatted my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Trying to make everything happy again. Here is my problem:
    When I use the Creative Console Launcher (CCL), my front right speaker tests fine. My front left speaker comes out of the woofer. And no other speakers will test at all. It does this in all modes (2., 4., 5. and 7.).
    When I play some music, it is coming out of all of the speakers. But it won't test properly in the CCL. So, do I have an issue, does what the CCL is doing not matter, or something else In some games, hearing what direction stuff is coming from matters, so if it is sending sounds to the wrong speakers, then I need to figure out a fix.....hence my post.
    Thanks for any help you can give, Robert

    Well, as the official documatation states, the Archlinux is for more or less advanced users, and if you're not one, we will make you one
    First of all, if you compiled your sound as modules, try putting this in your rc.local:
    stat_busy "Activating Sound"
    /sbin/modprobe your_sound_module
    /sbin/modprobe other_sound_module
    /sbin/modprobe yet_other_sound_module
    stat_done
    Change your_sound_module stuff to your module names as you configured in the kernel, of course.
    Second: in order to have two or more sound apps working at the same time, you need some kind of sound server. For default one (esd), uncomment esd in /etc/rc.local (remove ! before it) . After that, you'll have to configure your sound apps to use esd. I know that this is extremely easy with xmms and xine, dunno about others. I do not use esd, because my favorite games (quake3 and half-life) require direct access to /dev/dsp.

  • Function keys are not working correctly

    I've been looking all over the various threads and I can't find an answer that solves my problem.
    Here are the details:
    I bought the computer in the U.S. where I live.
    I have a iMac 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo  EMC 2133 with a 20" screen. Bought it new in February 2008.
    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8  (I am waiting for my order for OS Snow Leopard to come in!!)
    I have been using a wireless mouse and Keyboard (Love not having cords!)
    Recently, my wireless keyboard got a short and quit working. I went down to the apple store and got a new wireless keyboard.
    I had the computer with me at the genius bar so, yes, the apple employee saw exactly what I have.
    I took it all home got the thing all put back together and got the new keyboard paired up and working with the computer.
    Here are the problems:
    Went to go use the function keys while using iTunes and found they weren't working properly. The F10, F11 and F12 do not control the volume of sound as the keyboard indicates they would, they instead activate dashboard, spaces, and application windows. 
    Following the advice of other threads, I looked over in the system preferences and made sure the "Use all F1, F2 etc." box was unchecked (it was unchecked), things still didn't work.
    I tried the fn key but it appears to not work at all it has no effect on the functioning of the function keys.
    I went under keyboard shortcuts in system preferences and found the F10, F11 and F12 keys, it confirms that those keys control spaces, dashboard and application windows as they are performing but shows no options to either reassign to volume control (as marked on the keyboard) or make the fn key work.
    I've gone back and forth trying various combinations of checked and unchecked boxes to see if anything would work, so far I've come up with nothing.
    A couple more important or interesting facts:
    Yes I have turned off and taken the batteries out of the old keyboard. My bluetooth connection currently shows it as disconnected.
    I have restarted the computer.
    One thing I find odd; when I go under preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse when I go under the section "Bluetooth" it shows Bluetooth mouse with the name of the mouse and the battery level. BUT nothing is showing up under bluetooth Keyboard, I can't figure out how to change this and don't know if it is contributing to the problem.
    When I go under the bluetooth logo on the top bar I find the mouse and both keyboards referenced, the old keyboard is shown as disconnected and the other two are connected. I have tried to update the device's name but it doesn't seem to let me.
    I have double clicked on the device under bluetooth and it shows the new keyboard as discoverable, paired and connected. Hence, I am using the new keyboard to write this inquiry.
    Please, any assistance would be of great help. I have tried to be thorough in order help narrow the possible problem. Thanks!!

    Just thought I'd let you know.  Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected.  I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800.  So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.

  • Internet Explorer 11 "Enterprise Mode" do not work or do not work correctly!

    Dear community,
    Since yesterday we test the Feature "Enterprise Mode" for "Internet Explorer 11". However, we have many problems
    with this Feature. We have configured it as described by officially instruction by MS, but it does not work
    properly. Here is what we have done exactly to test this Feature:
    In Registry Key " HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ Enterprise Mode " we have created the Entry " Site List " and create the string " Enable" . In the
    String "Enable" we have added no value . 
    In Case of String "Site List" , we have specified the path to the XML file , as value of this String.
    The XML file was created with the Site List Manager from Microsoft
    And now, we regocnized following Problems:
    The "Enterprise Mode" ist only "active", if the User(!) check "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools"...!
    The site list is seemingly ignored, although in the Registry "currentversion" is pulled correctly, everytime we change
    the XML File. So we think "SiteList" is configured well.
    On one of our test computer freezes Internet Explorer 11 , if you try to hook the corporate mode
    In Summary, it seems to be configured properly but it even do not work or not work correctly.
    Our goal would be:
    Enterprise Mode + access to the Site List by IE11 should be "on" by Default!
    Entrys of sitelist.XML should be filtered and shown in "Enterprise Mode" or/and the right "DocMode", as configured.
    The user should have no chance  to check on or off the"enterprise mode"
    We use "Windows 7" on all our Clients, as test Clients are also running the same operating System...
    Please reply
    Thank you very much
    Greetings!
    Ps: Please do not be angry if pronunciation or grammar do not fit well. English is not my nature language (my nature language is german)

    Hi,
    According to your description, seems the end-users can manually turn on\off the enterprise mode, If you don''t want this, you can disable the option.
    Computer(User) Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer\Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu option
    Disable this option, user will not have "Enterprise Mode" under "Tools", after that, please run gpupdate /force to update the policy, and get "Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list" applied again in the target system.
    After that, the enterprise mode website list get applied again, and user don't have an option to disable it.

    Thanks for the Bash! I'm surprised you had the time
    for it.Go back and look at your original post. A whole bunch of code, and the only description of the problem is "not working correctly." Do you honestly think that's a reasonable way to ask for help? Do you go to the doctor and say, "I'm sick" and then just wait for him to cure you? Do you take your care to the mechanic and say only, "It's broke"?
    Look, this is your problem and it's your responsibility to fix it. There are people here who are happy to help you, but it's up to you to provide a reasonable statement of what's wrong, what you've tried, what you don't understand. For instance:
    Does it compile? If not, post the complete error message.
    Does it run, but throw an exception? If so, post the stack trace.
    Does it not throw an exception, but not behave the way you expect? Then describe the expected beavior and the observed behavior.
    Do you really need to be told this stuff? It seems like common sense that when you're asking people to spend their time helping you, you should give them the information they need to be able to do so.

  • Line-in input not working correctly in Garageband

    Problem:
    Line-in input not working correctly with Garageband. Problem occurred AFTER installing and using Blue Yeti USB mic, purchased from the Apple store.
    System Details:
    '07 20" iMac 2.4GHz 4GB RAM, OSX 10.6.5, Garageband '11 v6.0, Logitech Z4 speakers.
    Background:
    Before using the Yeti USB mic, I used the line-in jack. I'd connect a Shure mic or guitars directly in, but more recently through a 12 channel mixer. Have connected the Shure mic directly into the input jack, and the computer appears to be picking it up (System Preferences->Sound->Input), it is responding correctly there. Have set the output to the headphone (line-out) jack. When I go into Garageband, I can select from Line-in 1, Line-in 2, and Line-in Stereo. The trouble is that it's the iMac's built-in mic that is active (the one above the screen), not the line-in. I've rebooted the computer, checked the connections, reconnected the Yeti mic and I can't find what's causing the problem. Not sure what to do from here, need some help. Thanks

    I have Logic Express on the iMac as well and I worked out how to set the input device back to the Line-In. I went back to Garageband and found the equivalent setting under Preferences->Audio/MIDI. Thanks for reading, sorry I didn't sort it out sooner! Merry Christmas!

  • Sleep not working correctly

    Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows: 
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
     Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Notebook and mouse freezing. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the mouse and Touchpad sensitivities.
    If you will go to the section on Adjusting TouchPad or ClickPad pointing sensitivities it should help resolve the issue.
    I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Notebooks, I would need the model number.

  • Safari hierarchical menus not working correctly

    Hello all,
    I'm having a problem with Safari's hierarchical menus not working correctly. They pop out in odd positions, and--worst of all--the big ones (for folders that contain lots of bookmarks) pop out right on top of the main bookmarks menu, making it all but impossible to navigate that main menu. I've tried all the usual tricks: log out/restart the system, restart Safari, reset Safari, boot in safe boot mode, repair permissions, yank Safari's bookmarks prefs file, even reinstall Safari, and nothing worked. I've also noticed the same behavior in Camino. My system hierarchical menus work fine, though, so I'm thinking I have a corrupt prefs file somewhere. I'm using Safari 4.04 with no extra plugins beyond what come with it on 10.5.8. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix this?

    AFAIK, the submenu will pop on either side, depending on available space and if there are further subfolders, allowing them to continue in the same direction.
    Since the new account doesn't exhibit the issue, there are two ways to attack the problem. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything not on that list into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
    The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.
