No sound from front right/left speakers in 5.1 setting SB Audigy 2 ZS

Dimension 550/E50
XP Media Center 2005
All current Windows Updates (SP3 & all MCE updates)
5. surround sound was working fine until some software changes took place (however, I dont know which was directly related)
A) Intel Chipset update from A to 7.2.2.006, A3
1. It fixes issue with USB keyboard/mouse hang until reboot while installing.
2. It fixes yellow bang in USB controller in Device Manager on a system with USB keyboard/mouse while installing.
3. It fixes a bug where a 3rd party SMBus driver was being overwritten.
4. It fixes Installshield issue with silent mode.
5. It fixes issue in PCIUtility.sys during install on 64-bit OS.
6. It fixes untranslated language strings.
B) Some Microsoft AutoUpdates
didn't discover the loss of front speakers until several updates had run. Restored back to December 08 without any improvements.
After the chipset update, I de-installed all SB and Sigmatel drivers
Then Re-installed the SIGMATEL STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio driver
and then re-ran the SB Installation CD
still, no front r/l sound
then, i ran the Creative AutoUpdate application and installed recommended updates.
still no sound front l/r --
i switched the rear l/r cable with front, so i know the speakers are fine.
what else can i do
how can i tell if the sound board is faulty

I used the Creative Diagnostic application's Speaker Test and after hitting Restore Defaults, the front right speaker is not as quiet, though still much quieter and muffled. Still no sound from the subwoofer.

  • Sound from front right speaker not working, playing out of le

    I have a Soundblaster X-Fi Fatalty and it'ss a little under year old with all current drivers. The front right speaker plays no sound but the front left speaker plays what is supposed to come out of the front right. I have it set on the 5. surround sound but it doesn?t work on any other settings. A week ago everything was working fine I have not installed anything new since then. I'm not sure if this is a hardware problem or something set wrong on my computer. Does anyone have a solution or know what may be causing this? Also I checked the speakers, they work fine.Message Edited by Nowise0 on 0-04-2006 03:52 PM

    I ghave this same problem with an XFi Elite pro card and a 5. speaker system. To get sound coming out all 5 correct speakers and subwoofer i have to select 7. speaker set up then 5., then 6. and finally 5. again then it works fine - I have to do the selection in THX from game consule mode to get it to work.

  • TX2000 no sound from front headphone jacks

    Hi everyone, Ive started this because I have a major problem with my pavilion tx2000. it is not outputting any sound from the front headphone jacks, it was working okay on windows 7 64 bit but one good day without any aparent reason it stopped working I mean, I used to plug my headphones and immediatly the laptop speakers shout and I coud hear music from any of the two front headphone jacks but one day I did it and the speaker didnt shout and I couldnt hear anything from the headphones, assuming that the headphones were the problem I plugged another headphones that I knew were working fine with the same result.
    I was using windows 7 default drivers then I updated the drivers from the official realtek site (I thnk version R267) with no effect, then I installed linux and plugged the headphones, to my surprise audio were outputting from both, the laptop speakers and the headphones, after some configurations I managed linux to output audio only from the headphones but I have to change it manually if I wanted the laptop speakers to work, I then reinstalled windows 7 64 with the updated driivers from realtek, to my surprise realtek audio manager will pop up a message saying "you just plugged and audio device" BUT ONLY IF I PLUG SOMETHING TO THE MICROPHONE JACK!!!!! otherwise it won´t say anything even if I plug my headphones to any of the both headphone jacks, my assumption is that somehow the headphone jacks lost its sensibility and are not detectng the headphones and as so they wont route the audio signal through them, also Ive read on forums that I could change something in the realtek audio manager as "disable front audio jacks" or something but i can´t see that option anywhere in any of the various versions of drivers I´ve tried on the various OSes Ive tried, Also in some point I did notice a red ligth coming out from the first headphone jack, I assumed it was spidf signal or something.
    What im thiking is that this is hardware related, that somehow the jacks lost sensibility and cant detect my headphones, the question here is this: I dont mind routing the audio from the laptop speaker to the headphone jacks manually (I mean with some script or something), but is there any way to do so In windows, In linux I could but in windows I just cant seem too get it to work without windows detecting my headphones automatically, or do I have to change the whole front panel in my laptop, it is offcourse out of warranty and I don´t want to keep spending money on this as this is quite an old machine wich Ive invested way too much.
    THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE.

    NO sound from front headphone jacks.
    No hardware changes made.

    Oh and one more thing:
    In the Audio tab in Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel, it has this option of
    "Use only default devices"
    Is it OK to check that?
    Does that mean that if I choose Audigy 2 for the sound playback and etc. options, it would "lock" the default as Audigy 2?
    Because as I said, I don;t want to go back and forth switching from onboard to Audigy over and over.
    I just want Audigy as my sound, and be able to use the headphone jack on the front bevel of my computer.

  • Only sound from my right internal speaker on my new hp stream X360 PC 11

    hi, just opend my new HP Stream X360 PC 11 and it´s only sound from my right internal speaker. the system is updated and ive done the soundtest and the sound comes thru the right speaker even when i push the left speker test button.... softwere or back to the shop...  

    Were you able to contact Apple, about this issue, while under warranty?
    If there is a hardware cause of the problem or other, they may fix it or
    at least diagnose the underlying cause...

  • All of a sudden loud sound from the right

    All of a sudden my macBook Pro is making a loud sound from the right which I think is the fan? It happens when I first turn it on so it is not too hot.
    I'm concerned because my last ibook g4 had a dead hard drive in less than a year..this sound is somewhat similar to the clicking hard drive, but forgive my ignorance the hard drive is not on the right?
    Is this a normal new sound? Does feel that way.
    cursed with macs.

    MissWit,
    Its the fan, you got two one in each side.
    I have same problem, but mine often appears when the MBP is warm or let me say been running for a while, at the same time I feel vibrations when I touch the casing or maybe housing is a better word, well the aluminium cover...
    I am 99.9% sure the hard drive is located to the left.

  • 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.

    I (hopefully) clarified some of this in the other thread, but this is not the way it works. Read the other thread for a more detailed rundown.
    When you're playing anything that isn't a true Dolby Digital 5. source (with an encoded AC3 stream), like a game or music, you will only get stereo over a digital connection. That is normal, that is not a bug or a mistake, but that is normal. No coaxial wire is capable of passing over a 5. signal that isn't an encoded AC3 stream. If you're playing a DVD, that will work, as it's an encoded AC3 stream, but as I mentioned the card and DVD software have to be set to bypass the signal, to the encoded AC3 stream goes over the cable untouched, and your external decoder can process the signal.

    Yes I know all that.But even if it's not a AC3 signal, like when you play a stereo MP3 file, shouldn't the Dolby Digital led on th external decoder be on anyways? Since it does transfer from a Digital out to a Digital in. I say this, because when using my internal Dolby Digital feature (nVidia Soundstorm) from the coaxial SPDIF out to the Inspire 5500's coaxial digital in, the Dolby Digital led is always on. I know it's no real 5. DD, but it is a digital signal, so it detects it and triggers the led.So I expect this to be the case with the Audigy 2 SZ too.

  • 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.

  • How can I send sound from microphone to Bluetooth speakers?

    How can I send sound from microphone to Bluetooth speakers? They work from the music app but not from an internal or external microphone.  Is this a setup issue or is there a work around?

    I don't know of any way to do that.

  • 5.1 system, only sound from front left & ri

    I'm running a x-fi platinum on vista home premiumif you need/want more specs than that, just let me know. my problem is thus, I've set the system up for 5. surround sound, I've tested the speakers and I'm only able to recieve sound to the front left and right speakers. No sound is being sent to the center, rear left or right. I'm unsure of what to do, I've read that there are other users who arent having any problems with their 5. systems and I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice on what to do. Thanks

  • Rear Left is sounding from Rear Right and Vice-a-versa. Any soluti

    OKay guys, Im sure there is a very simple solution here but I just cant find it.
    I have a SB Fatality soundcard and I think I have wired it up correctly with the jacks. However, when I go to the THX Setup Console to test and run the 'speaker selection' check etc?I have the front right and rear right 'ladies voice' sounding out of the front left and frear left speakers (or rather, my 5. headphones). The sub and centre are fine.
    What am I doing wrong. I have swapped the jacks but to no avail. Is there a wa to 'swap' the speaker configuration.
    Please help me with this frustraing issue.
    Thanks

    I guess not, then...

  • Sound from front speakers only

    I am using optical audio with Sony DAV-DZ810 home theater and my Apple TV2. The system is new and I am not very familiar. When I watch a trailor (have not watched a movie yet) on ATV2, I notice that sound only comes from two front speakers only. No sound is heard from center and rear speakers.
    Can anyone please advise?

    Normal.
    Trailers do not usually have 5.1 surround.
    Not all movies have 5.1 surround either - it should say or show the dolby icon on the movie preview screen and once you choose to rent it often says you are renting film x which has surround surround (or something like that).

  • 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,
    Amit

    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

  • Sound from front speakers only with X-Fi in Game mo

    Hope someone can help me with this. I just installed the latest x-fi drivers for my xtreme gamer on a fresh install of xp and now in when in Game mode I don't get any sound from the rear speakers. When I switch to entertainment mode I get sound from all my speakers. I have a 4. setup and have checked that this is selected in both the creative audio console and the windows control panel.
    Is this a problem with the new drivers? Has anyone else got this problem or knows how to fix it's
    Cheers.

    you have to activate x-fi cmss 3d and try the options within
