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!

Hi
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

  • X-Fi Titanium: Almost no sound from center speaker in 5.1 mode (optical out)

    Hi everybody,
    I have searched the forum, but not found any post regarding this problem, so I'm gonna post myself.
    First of all: I have an X-Fi Titanium that is connected to my Home Theatre Dolby Digital/DTS Decoder via optical cable, so I use the DTS Li've encoding feature of my X-Fi to get 5. surround sound.
    But from the beginning I've had the following problem: When I start a game, the sound is perfectly normal, but suddenly (not at a specific action, just out of nowhere) the sound from my center speaker is almost inaudible, extremely dull. So I can still hear, for example, the explosions or voices that come from the sides or the back, but everything that is right in front of me or is played back only through the center is almost silent.
    When I quit the game, start the THX-Console and click on each speaker, all of them except the center speaker play back the test sound (like "front left", "front right" or whatever it is in the English version, I have the German version).
    Switching to another mode (game, entertainment or the third, don't know what it's called in the English version), resetting the sound card via the control panel or clicking on "Standard" (or maybe "Default" in the English software?) does not bring back the sound on the center speaker, all I can do is switch to two-speaker- or headphones-mode so the center speaker is not used. Even rebooting windows does not work. I haven't figured out yet what exactly helps, but usually after a while suddenly the center works again.
    The only reliable solution is to reinstall the whole software and driver, but with the slow Creative servers, it always takes hours to download all updates with Auto-Update, and installing everything with each single file for each little software module isn't much faster either.
    I must say that I am very disappointed by Creative. Before my X-Fi Titanium I had an X-Fi Platinum, and the drivers really sucked. I hoped that this was because at that time, the X-Fi series was still quite new. But almost nothing has really improved since then. I would like to have ONE installation routine for the whole software package, with checkboxes to choose what I want to install, and not only when using the original CD, but also with the update files for download. And, most of all, I want the driver to just work! Since the beginning, I've only had problems with these cards.
    Anyway, I hope someone can help me on this. Thanks a lot in advance.

    I think I see what is happening now.
    When using the analog outputs (5.), you have to enable bass redirection, and set the front or back speakers to small in the "Bass Management" screen of the THX control panel.
    Bass redirection does not send anything to the subwoofer if the front and back speakers are all set to large. There should be a bypass switch for this, so the bass can be sent to full size satellites and the subwoofer.
    When using the spdif DDL output, my receiver would decode and send bass to the subwoofer on it's own.
    Only buggy part I'm noticing now is that I lose all bass occasionally on boot, and must do an "Auto Detect..." in the "Speaker Configuration" screen of the THX control panel to get it back.

  • 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 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.

  • TS1630 Hi I have a problem with my iPhone 4S,  I have no sound from my speaker ,keyboard or notifications ,  and my volume control buttons are not working is anyone experiencing this? Any help would be great full, also I have reset the iPhone many times.

    Hi I have a problem with my iPhone 4S I have no sound from my speaker , keyboard, notifications.   or volume controls,  I have reset my iphone many times and still the same, any advise will be greatful
    Thanks

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

  • No sound from right speaker on Pavilion g6-1353ea after installing Windows 8

    I've had no sound from right speaker on my HP Pavilion g6-1353ea after installing Windows 8. I've checked all drivers, and have done the sound test in sound properties (left speaker beeps fine, but then nothing from the right). Anyone else having this problem/found a solution?!

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59001-59500/sp59154.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio in both speakers.

On two occasions it choking when I put some videos and that's all. There is no sound even when someone call me, only vibrates.

  • No sound from the speaker and missing speaker device listed with Window 7

    I have Window 7 and with SB X-Fi card installed for a long time now but yesterday, there is no sound from the speaker which connected to the normal speaker output of the card. I check the output device and the specker device is missing. I tried to run the software but it says no device.

    Thank you.

    Take it to your local Apple Store along with US$149 for a replacement.

    Do you have any unknown devices in Device Manager with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark?
    Are the Bootcamp drivers installed?
    You should something similar to the following for Sound Devices, if the drivers are installed.

  • 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 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?
    Thanks.
