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.

Soft sound from rear speakers while playing mov

Hi,?Gaming and music is done via all speakers (i'm using analogue connection) just fine, but when i play a movie (using powerdvd 6?deluxe) i get faint sounds from the rear speakers. I had contact with creative's help desk in my country and we ran thru all system settings (e.g. thnx console). Everything was configured correctly., tho still a weak sound from rear speakers. They could not help me further ?I'm using a x-fi fatality soundcard with a logitech z-5400 speakerset.
When running a movie it shows a logo near the system tray : dolby digital. I am hoping one of u has a solution to this problem. Greetz,?Nask

In most of the cases, movies with mutichannel soundtrack do not use constantly every speakers. I think your case is normal and that's only your DVD's mix (as many DVD) that concentrates more on the front. try some of the sample there: http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/do...s/trailers.phpIf the first one sound at the same level for each speakers then it's alright.

Why no sound from rear speakers (Xfi X

Vista 32bit, CMSS enabled, why no sound from rear speakers with music? XP no problem at all, only in Vista. Using latest drivers (v2.5.0004).
I realize I'm hoping against hope to get a useful answer at the Creative forums, but I do believe in miracles and the odd one happening once or twice in a lifetime, lol.

Well, I think I have an answer, from Catherina-CL's Audio in Windows Vista post. 2.The Vista audio architecture changes the way per-stream audio processing works, which required us to write new software to support this
Issues that may be encountered:
CMSS no longer works on audio streams from the OS.
Status:
Features based on Windows XP architecture must be rewritten to conform to the new Vista architecture, and we have a team of software engineers, project managers and testers dedicated to this task in order to provide our customers the same seamless audio experience under Windows Vista that they enjoyed under Windows XP. However, I found a somewhat crappy solution, at least with my old Altec Lansing 4 speaker/ subwoofer system. Unplug the surround cable from your subwoofer (unplugging it from the card itself has no effect). That at least will make all the speakers work, even if it's not true surround. Good for listening to music loud.

X-FI, No sound in rear and center speakers

Hi. I got a problem. I don't know what can I do more but after some combinations I can't get sound from rear speakers and center. I have X-Fi Gamer (SB0730) and it's connected to DTT2200. It's running on Windows 7 x32. Any Ideas what?can be the?problem?

Anyone?

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.

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.

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.

No sound from rear speakers on my Inspire 5500, all I get is a hissing sound! :(

Hi ppl, im new ere.
I just bought a Surround sound, i put it together, play music, and thers no sound from my rear speakers. its the same when i play a game and look at a DVD (which DO support 5.1 sound)
I already made sure all the connections in the amp and subwoofer are in properly and they are...
And I also know that it cudnt be my sound card because it also supports 8.1 and im only trying to use a 5.1.
Please help someone....
All help is greatly appreciated
Dave

Hi Dave,
First things first. For music and games (and the speaker test in Windows), what you're experiencing is normal. A digital connection like coaxial or optical SPDIF can only pass over either an encoded stream (like AC3 on DVDs), or a stereo PCM signal. If you're playing music/games, the sound is not an AC3 stream, but essentially several stereo signals. The connection simply cannot pass this over. For more detail, read this forum thread and this knowledgebase article. You can turn on the upmix function on the decoder to give sound out of more speakers, but this is an effect, so you will not get the positional sound out of games for instance.
For DVDs however, this should work perfectly, as you are sending an unprocessed AC3 stream from the system directly to your speakers. All you need to do is adjust the settings and it should work fine. Make sure the DVD software's audio option is set to SPDIF/bypass, rather than 5.1. Choosing 5.1 in the software will make it decode the signal rather than pass it through. Then check the settings for the card and it should work.

Xi-Fi: No sound from rear speakers in Vi

Hey everybody, I am not hearing any sound from my rear speakers (I have a 5. setup) in Windows Vista. I have of course updated to the latest Vista driver for the Xi-Fi card, all of my connections are correctly set up on my hardware, and I have made sure that I have 5. Speakers selected in the Xi-Fi Volume Panel.
The strange thing is, if I go into the Windows Sound panel from the Control Panel and do a test from there, I *do* hear sound from my rear speakers, however this is the only time I can hear it, not while listening to music, watching movies, or playing games.
If anyone can help me with this problem I'd be deeply appreciati've. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I have gone through 2 SoundBlaster cards on my Vista machine and am _still_ having this same issue. On my XP machine everything worked great with my Audigy 2 card... once I upgraded to Vista, nadda (and not to mention all the cool features & software that worked on XP didn't work in Vista)... so I upgraded to an X-Fi Fatalty Platinum card after reading on the Creative website that most functionality had returned with the new drivers (including CMSS supposedly). While some of the software is now available, the whole reason I upgraded my card was so that CMSS would work!
Like everyone else, I have CMSS enabled and when I do the speaker test in Windows & Creative Audio Console, I hear test tones from the rear speakers. However, when I listen to music or do anything else involving audio, I get nothing from the rears (unless I turn on one of the effects which I don't want as they mess with the sound too much - and even then, I only hear a slight reverby effect from the rears on certain effects). I am extremely disappointed that I spent a lot of money (much more than most good soundcards) and STILL HAVE NO REAR SOUND!
Also, is anyone getting a warning when opening the Sound options in Windows Control Panel? This is what I am getting:
http://www.snapdri've.net/files/56394/AudioEnhancements.JPG
Which tells me that something isn't right... I am hoping it is due to remnants of my audigy drivers... this is the only reason I have a glint of hope - and this: after googling this issue, I did find another forum discussing the same issue and one person was actually able to resolve it... here was his solution:
"I uninstalled the drivers for the third time, but this time went into my creative folder and deleted all of the audio console files and what not that there was NOT an uninstaller for. I then rebooted. I redownloaded and reinstalled the latest drivers from the website. I rebooted again. I then downloaded the latest vista audio console launcher and installed it. I then rebooted again. I turned some music on and the CMSS works now! And it sound SO much better! IT EVEN GAVE ME MY MIC OPTIONS BACK. The only thing I can think of was that I had an old XP version of the audio console, and thats why the CMSS didn't work, and it took away my mic options."
If anyone does resolve this issue, PLEASE POST YOUR SOLUTION HERE! Thanks - it would be much appreciated and would surely be helping out many others with the same frustrating problem.

No Sound From Rear Speakers unless CMSS-3D is on XFI Elite Pro

Hello Guys,
I have always had issues with my rear sound and nothing has changed. I am begining to think my sound card is broken. I bought this refurbed or open boxed directly from creative so maybe this is the reason? I want all the speakers to sound the same and even if I enable the CMSS3D they do not sound like the front ones. It seems distorted and not as clear and the volume is lower. Any ideas?

Hello,
I am running into the same problem. I had a audigy and the sound test would not output sound to the rear or center speakers. I then tried an x-fi card - same problem.
I also tried a different set of speakers... I am pulling my hair out here. This used to work great, can't figure it out. When I run through the speaker test with the x-fi, I hear everything coming out of the front two speakers. It says "rear right" out of the front right speaker. It also says "front right" out of that same speaker.

No sound from rear speakers in 5.1 in mov

I have the Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer card. When I use the channel test in the Audio Console (Game Mode), I hear everything just fine. Sounds come from the correct speakers. But when I'm watching a movie (like right now, Sin City bluray version), I can only hear sounds from the front left, center and right. In games like Battlefield 2 the sounds works just fine. What could be the problem? I would really appreciate any help. A good movie is so much more with good sound.

You were right. I neglected the slider on the right in Stereo Surround mode. It should have been set to Surround. As soon as I did it the sound appeared. Thanks for your reply

No sound from rear or center of Inspire 5300 speakers

I have an Audigy 2 Platinum card and an Inspire 5300 speaker system. All was well until a few days when sound only came from the two front speakers. The creative speaker settings tool no longer shows any speaker settings to choose from. Windows allows me to choose 5.1 setting, but of course it doesn't work. I re-installed the latest drivers and media go! software but problem persisits. I ran the diagnostic tool and I received the following error: "NTWriteWordConfig-CONFIG_READWORD". Could this be the cause of my problem, and if so, how can I fix it's Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i have a similar problem
in my case the problem is with the front c/sub,i have no output on the sub.
it would be surely great if someone could throw a look at this and help out...

Sound from rear speakers goes to subwoofe

Hi Guys,
I have a creative X-Fi XtremeMusic card connected analogue to a 5. Altec Langsing speaker set.
The sound for the 2 read speakers is coming out of the subwoofer... as if the system is set in a 2. mode however this is not the case.
Everything is setup for 5., CMSS is enabled, etc... I've browsed these forums and can't find an answer!
I'm running Win XP with latest Direct X and sound drivers...
Help please guys!!

Have you checked that the cables are mounted OK (i.e. is cabling OK in speaker system ... try by using stereo connection for every pair at once ... connect rear channel cable(s) into X-Fi front output ... connect center/sub into front output) ... are these OK.
Propably you could switch those rear/cent-sub cables as a temp. solution but, would it be a resolution ... well, it's up to you?
Are your sources stereo (i.e. you need to use CMSS to convert stereo signal to multichannel)?
BTW, I had similiar issue in my Audigy 2 card before latest driver update.
