No sound from sattelites behind me

hello, first post here...
I've got a problem with my sound.
i hear everything in front of me, but nothing that happens behind me
especially when playing ego-shooters its quite annoying
My soundcard: Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS
My Soundsystem: Desktop Theater 5. DTT2200 of Cambridge
My driver: SBA2_PCDrvBeta_LB_2_08_0002
excuse my english, its not my first language
i tried to explain it as good as i can

Run a diagnostic check on your Audigy 2ZS. Goto your Speaker Settings (Creative Software) then click "Channel" to know if your rear speakers are working. If the volume of the voice coming from your rear is too low to be heard, you have to make proper adjustments on your volume settings for the rear speakers. Which can be either be found on the Surround Mixer then Advanced or through your speaker system control panel (buttons, knobs, etc.)
If all is okay, then access the options of the particular game you are playing and go to its audio options. The game must support multi-channel audio which varies from game to game. Options you should look-out for are: 5. channel, multi-channel, surround, etc.
If you found it, it should be ok and ready to go. By the way, you should also enable EAX if the game supports it provided you have enough CPU speed to handle this option.
To test the adjustments that you made, go find a bad guy in the game and while he/she/it is shooting at you, turn your back around him. You should be able to hear the gun fire hitting your back.
Happy gaming!

No sound from straight behind (Audigy & 5

I'm using SB Audigy and 5. headphones. Is it normal in games (for example Quake 4, Doom 3, Half-Life 2..) that no sound can be heard STRAIGHT from behind? It's the same thing with external amplifier/speaker system. The sound from rear speakers are played more like from the sides than behind: when the source of the sound approaches from the side angle to "straight behind", sound diminishes to zero in rear (both speakers). Speakers/headphones are correctly connected and configured, it's been confirmed and tested with Windows Control panel audio settings & Creative Surround Mixer. I usually enable EAX in games' options.
Is there any way to get the sounds from behind to be played from both rear speakers?
Win XP SP2 and latest drivers.

youre iphone must be on silent mode.Please push down the button above to the volume rockers o the side of the phone to enter normal mode.If this doesnt work go to settings,sound and increase the volume.
Thanks

No sound from external speakers of Satellite M100 after BOIS downgrade from 5.1 to 3.0

Hi All,
I have a Toshiba Sattelite M100 with WindowsXP SP3 professional edition (as shown in system properties),
Whereas the sticker on the laptop is Windows vista basic
Its Fn keys were not working, so after reading a toshiba support bulliten, I have downgraded my BOIS from 5.1 to 3.0. And aslo by mistake, I also have installed an Audio driver of version 5.10.0.5200.
Before this update, every thing was fine including audio and except Fn keys.
Now after this my Fn keys start working but audio stop working.
I checked toshiba Asia website and re-installed the Realtek HD driver 5.10.0.5247 after un-installing old one and restarting the PC.
But now, my built-in Harman-Kardan speakers and mic are not working, Only sound from audio jack to Headphone is working
I have done all this process for almost 10 times
Your help is required.
regards,

your connection might be faulty try jiggling it or twisting it gently while in the headphone jack.
I stress gently since there are optical outputs in it that you don't want to scratch. if you want true surround get a receiver that supports sound through hdmi or Toslink optical Audio, the latter I know your imac supports.

No sound from audio loop

Im using logic 9 and when I drag an audio loop into the arrange window I get sound, but if I drag any other audio loops after that, the only sound I get on the tracks are the sound from the first loop I used. All midi loops works fine. Any answers???
Thx

I am not involved to any great extent with iTunes or its music although my recent iPod has drawn me in that direction.
So reflecting on your observations regarding iTunes m4a and m4p...
a. Everything that I have read so far says that m4a and m4p are the same except that the m4p includes the DRM restrictions (or it did until iTunes did away with DRM for its music). Further these file extensions seem to wrap AAC audio compression.
b. Premiere Elements (many versions) seems to have been hit with many users issues relating to the use of iTunes music in their creations. My recollection is that these users usually presented with .m4a music and were directed to a variety of methods for converting the .m4a to .mp3. The rationale behind the suggestions appear to be go to the protected music aspect of the music rather than a file extension or audio compression incompatibility issue. All of these conversions rightly or wrongly seemed to be wrapped with the protect issue. Converting the .m4a to .mp3 worked for most. That was their bottom line. Whether the .m4a (in spite of its file extension) had DMR causing the issue or format incompatibility causing it never seemed to be defined.
c. In fact, there are numerous articles online that address removal of DRM from iTunes m4a, AAC, and m4p.
d. But, since iTunes appears to have removed DRM from its music, the matter dissolves.
e. Prior to the iTunes' removal of the DRM, it is not clear to me just what iTunes music had DRM in spite of its file extension.

No sound from subwoofer with Audigy 2 va

No sound from Subwoofer.
Audigy 2 value soundcard is connected by analogue to a Sony receiver to 5. inputs, and it is hooked to a 5. speaker system. (5 sattelites and a subwoofer) There is no sound coming from the subwoofer when watching DVDs in 5., music (with CMSS) or games. So naturally it sounds awfull with no bass. (this system works ok with cd or dvd from the hifi). The audigy 2 value used to be connected to the creative inspire 5. speakers on my old computer and it worked fine. PLease help.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Mikael

Go to EAX panel and uncheck all effects. Now you should get 20% volume on the sub.
Go buy an ARTcessories HEADAMP, like I did, and?some cables/adapters from a Hosa distributor to boost your ctr/sub 3.5mm output of the 2zs.
Output levels way too low for subwoofer no matter what you can do. Regardless of the impedance load on the output.
I hooked up an o-scope and measured it, being the FCC certified tech I am since '7, now senior engineer for the USCG Academy ship simulators facility.

No sound from TV when using HDMI from HP Envy Ultrabook4 despite downloading drivers

Problem: When using an HDMI cord from my HP Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 (4-1105dx)to connect to my TV to view movies, the video appears on my TV screen, but there is NO sound from the TV. Instead the sound comes from my lap top.
Troubleshooting: I have looked under Sounds in the Control Panel, but the only choice listed is Speakers & Headphones IDT High Definition (which is the default) and does not allow sound from the TV when using the HDMI. I have also tried to download Driver and Audio Graphics, but wasn't sure which one & the ones which were downloaded have not solved the problem.
Can you assist me? Which is the correct Audio/Graphic Driver to download? Or is there another possible reason why I cannot hear sound from my TV when using the HDMI to connect to my lap top?

Hi,
Please try this first to enable Speakers in Playback devices as follows:
1. Right click speaker icon (bottom right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click HDMI sound
4. Enable it
5. Click Apply/Ok
Regards.

No output sound from output port/analog audio: Need help

hello, I want to connect my analog audio equipment to my iMac. I have done this in the past with my old G3. I have connected the RCA cables to a 3.5 mm jack and put it into the audio input port, which was what worked on the G3. When I open the sound page for input & output, on Output I can see the volume bar thing moving in relation to the sounds from mic, turntable, etc: all the analog audio things. However, there is no actual output of sound through the iMac;s speakers or a headphone. The output page is pretty simple so I am real sure I have all the rigt things checked, unchecked etc. Any ideas? Thanks.

I had what sounds like a similar problem to jazzzrat. i had my macbook setup to a stereo and it worked for over a year. suddenly no sound came out of the stereo. in my case, it definitely was a software setup thing.
plug in your stereo jack into the audio out port. then go to system preferences-->sound-->output. on there you should see, under "device for sound output": Name=Headphones, port=built-in output. (if you see name=built in speakers, you plugged in the wrong plug). Now go down to the bottom of the window and UNcheck the "mute" box, and make sure the volume slider is midway or more.
For some reason, mac allows you to mute the "headphones" and "built in speakers" selectively. we have no idea how that box got checked, that remains a complete mystery. but when we eventually found -- and unchecked -- the box, our stereo output came back just fine.
i hope this works for you. good luck and have a good new year.

Can't ping from DC1 behind TMG1 to DC2 behind TMG2 on a site-to-site VPN connection

Hi,
I have a weird problem. I have two TMG servers on each site in a hyper-v lab environment. I have been able to establish the site-to-site VPN successfully however when I ping from DC1 behind TMG1(on site 1) to TMG2, DC2, i am able to ping. However the opposite
doesn't work. After some trial and error, I figured out that the one initiating the demand-dial request is able to ping the other site, not vice-versa..very strange. I would like to know whether ICMP requests could be achieved bi-directionally..
Secondly, I am able to ping from TMG1 to all the clients sitting behind TMG2 (including the TMG host), however the clients sitting behind TMG1 can't ping TMG2 neither any of the clients behind it. I tried every possible combination under the firewall policies
but of complete vain. hell, I am starting to develop a very bad feeling about this product because of making such simple tasks overly complex. I mean, if it were a Cisco or Sonicwall, we could have done this so easily.
What my final motive is to send LDAP requests from DC1 to DC2 and vice-versa over a site-to-site VPN so that I could set up 2 different sites in AD on different subnets and then proceed with configuring DAG. But if this simple thing turns out to be such
major roadblock, dunno how am I gonna pass DAG traffic over it.
Can someone PLEASE help me!! I am completely exhausted researching on this issue.
Regards,
Dman

Hi，
For site2site VPN, you must create proper network rule and network set and you need to create proper access rule to allow or deny the traffic between VPN network and any other network.

What do I need to get better sound from my Mac mini

The sound from my external speakers is very poor. I am hard of hearing(50% in one ear) and I find it very difficult to follow a conversation etc.
I am now on Yosemite, and the speakers have been used on all my previous pc's successfully. I cannot find a control for the built-in audio, does one exist?

What do you mean by poor sound?
The Sound is controlled by System Preferences>Sounds>Output

Supports multi-channel digital audio output on compatible devices
make sure your ipad is not muted
make sure you volume is not all the way down
make sure audio play out of the ipad when not connected to the hdmi adapter
if you did and it don't work then it's likely an issue with the connetor
or the tv or it's settings

No sound from optical output when using hdmi/dvi cable

I am trying to connect my apple tv2 to my B&O Beovision 7. I have used an HDMI to DVI cable which is working fine for the picture; but obviously DVI does not carry sound. I have therefore connected an optical cable to the digital optical output on the apple TV and put this through a converter to digital coax, which then goes in to the TV. I know the optical cable / converter set up works fine as I have tested it on my sky box and it works fine. But I get no sound from the apple TV - any ideas?

I hav exactly the same problem... Did you resolve this??

No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable, No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable

I recently purchased HDMI cable and adaptor, so that I can play downloads from my Macbook Air on my TV. There is only sound from the Macbook, not the TV - Do I need as separate cable for sound?

I've got the same issue: when I connect my Macbook Air (2011) to TV via HDMI cable there's no sound through the TV system, only from the Macbook Air. I used to use my older Macbook Pro with the same HDMI adapter and it worked just fine, but not with the Macbook Air it doesn't.
My software is up to date. I tried to select the TV as an output option in sound preferences, but it doesn't yield any results.
Rebooding multiple times doesn't help either.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Recording sound from DVD and CD play

I just bought a Zen V Plus. Could someone please tell me how to record sound from a DVD and/or CD to my MP3? Thank you!

Try this:
1. Connect the Line IN jack on your player to the line output of an external stereo source, such as a CD or MiniDisc player, using the supplied line-in cable.
2. Press the Back/Options .You may need to do this more than once until the main menu appears.
3. Select Extra button to start a line-in encoding.
5. On your external stereo source, start playing the song you want to encode.
6. While encoding, you can press and hold the Back/Options button and select one of the following items:
Pauses the encoding. You can also pause the encoding by pressing the Play/Pause button.
Stops and saves the encoding. You can also stop the encoding by pressing the Record
Split Ends and saves current recording session, and begins a new one.
7. Press the Record button to end the line-in recording. The recorded track is named LINE followed by the date and time of the recordin YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS<. For example, if you record a track on March 5, 2004 at 2:57 pm, the track is named LINE
This information can also be found in your user's guide, it's a .chm file found in your installation cd.

Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.
