No 6.1 Speaker Option in Control Pane

I have an Audigy 2 soundcard and the Megaworks 6. THX surround speakers. Through speaker setup in Creative's software I can choose 6. speakers and they test just fine. However, after loading a new game, Half Life 2, I found that I can not choose 6. speakers from within the game's options. Only 5. or 7. speaker options are available (besides all the lower end options).
So I went and checked what is set-up in Windows Control Panel -> Sound devices -> speaker settings -> Advanced -> and Windows seems to think I have 7. surround speakers.... It has no 6. speaker option....only 5. or 7. just like the options that the Half Life 2 game gives me.
I have the box checked in the Creative software to "Synchronize with Control Panel" but it doesn't seem to do any good.
Anybody have any ideas why Windows won't recognize that I have 6. speakers, or why it won't even allow me to choose the option of 6. speakers?

I'm having the same problem with mine
but i'm sure it used to work in the beginning

  • Audigy 2 ZS - Missing 5.1 speaker option on Creative Control Pan

    I have an Audigy 2 ZS running the latest drivers for Windows XP Pro (according to the Creative Labs autoupdate page) outputting to a set of Logitech X-530 5.s. I cannot find any 5. speaker option on the Speaker Settings panel, or the THX panel, only 2/2., 4/4., and 7.. The 7. option is working, mostly, but I get a dead spot when the sound should be coming from my immediate right or left. Any way I can convince the software that I don't have 8-channel sound without losing my front center channel? Thanks!

  • NWBC no option "Access Control" - can't start working with GRC 10.0

    I have installed GRC AC 10.0 and have followed the post-installation documentation. All seems to be fine so far.
    But when I run NWBC, I do not get the Icon/Option "Access Control".
    What can go wrong? My user has sap_all and sap_grac_all, so it shouldn't be the access rights...what else can I check?

    I have installed GRC AC 10.0 and have followed the post-installation documentation. All seems to be fine so far.
    But when I run transaction NWBC, the web-browser (Iexplorer) opens the HTML-NWBC, but I do not get the Icon/Option "Access Management". I see this option however on the screenshots of the documentation. And it seems to be the only way to work with the application - or can I work directly within SAP-GUI ?
    I see however the Icons "Office", "Cross-Application Components", "Accounting", "Information Systems", "Tools" and I can well drill down into the submenus and use the fonctionality.
    What can go wrong? My user has sap_all and sap_grac_all assigned, so it shouldn't be the access rights...what else can I check? any ideas are welcome... - thanks in advance...

  • Where has the speaker option gone?

    I'm currently on itunes v.9. The speakers option, where I could have music playing from either the speakers on my laptop or from my external speakers via the airport, has completely disappeared, and now I cannot use itunes to play music at all.
    How do I get the speaker option back? (It was in the bottom right hand corner of the menu bar.)
    Thanks in advance for any advice on this!

    I have restarted it - several times! It is most frustrating though. At least I have an ipod, so I don't have to sit in silence. Thanks for your thoughts, anyway.

  • Is there an option to control whether a refiner is expanded / collapsed?

    Is there an option to control whether a refiner is expanded  / collapsed in the refinement web part?
    keren tsur

    Hi
    You can create your own copy of the default refiner template (Filter_Default.html) and then use some JavaScript code to loop through all the properties in your refiner,  and then call the Srch.Refinement.setExpanded Method With true or false as
    the 2nd parameter according to Your requirements.
    Here's a sample:

  • Input Controls pane - How to force Input Controls pane to visible on WebI?

    We are planning to distribute WebI reports to our users. The reports would be scheduled daily and the users would get  an email containing a hyperlink to the Webi report. Upon clicking, the hyperlink it would  launch the WebI and refresh data to the latest instance of the report.
    Is there a way to force the Input Controls pane to visible on this report when users click on the link?
    Thanks

    Hi Rohit,
    I do not think this can be set in WebI. Nevertheless, I understand this suggestion as a very interesting enhancement for the tool. What about submitting it on Idea Place?
    Thanks for the suggestion and your interest with input controls,
    David.

  • The airport speaker option not showing on itunes

    I am connected wirelessly and can surf the net through the airport, but the speaker option is not showing on itunes. I have enabled it in the airport utility.

    jackfsweeney, Welcome to the discussion area!
    In iTunes->Edit->Preferences->Devices, choose the "Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes" checkbox to display a speakers pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.

  • Airplay will not give me "iphone" speaker option?

    When in my Itunes and I try to change my speaker to "Iphone" it will only give "Dock Connector" and Airport express, why will it not give "iphone" as a speaker option?

    Because you can only Stream videos and music from your iTunes library to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.

    Hi,
    As a further test to identify whether this is a hardware or software issue, try the following.
    1.  Create a bootable Ubuntu CD - a guide on creating an Ubuntu CD and the download can be found Here.
    2.  When created, follow the guide on the link below to Try Ubuntu.
    http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/try-ubuntu-before-you-install
    The 'Try Ubuntu' option runs the OS from the CD without the need to install on your HDD.  It will be slow running from a CD but let me know if you get audio.
