No Sound Rear/Side in g

HeyI'm using a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS with 7. channel speakers. I can get sound from the side and rear speakers via cmss upmixing, but when trying to use true surround sound (as supported by bioshock), no sound comes from the side or rear speakers (unless using CMSS). All speakers sound off correctly in the speaker test. If someone knows what to do, please tell me!

stiaros,
Not sure if you are able to install the EAX4 driver for your OEM card but you can try installing it - EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Update for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2/Audigy 2 ZS. After you are done installing that, do a search for this filename CTPANEL.EXE, you should be able to configure the card through this.

X530 logitech & X-fi fatality - problem with sound rear sides, subwoofer & centre spea

Hi everyone,
I've looked into several postings but none of them could help me.. or maybe I didn't understand them.
My problem is I have a logitech 5. surround system. All cables are connected as they should be. When I do diagnostic the only speakers that work are the front left and right. Even when I do the rear side diagnostic or the subwoofer diagnostic the sound comes out of the 2 front boxes. I've tryed changing all kind of things in my game mode. I enabled EAX in game mode. I tryed CMSS-3D stereo surround and stereo xpand. I have no idea how to fix this problem.
Hope someone can help me.
Cheers

Make sure you dont have 'matrix' mode or some kind of mode that emulates 5. on. I had the same problem (but with x-540's) and just figured it out.

Rear/side speakers not working on GigaWorks S750

I have a Creative GigaWorks S750 7. sound system and a motherboard which uses Realtek HD audio.
There are four colored jack ports on the back of the sub, which are labelled:
Green: Front
Pink: Center/subwoofer
Black: Rear
Grey: Side
There are six jack ports on my motherboard:
Yellow,Blue, Black, Green, Grey and Pink.
The cable that came with the sound system has four jacks on one end, and three on the other.
On the four-jack end, they are Green, Yellow, Black and Grey (so they match up perfectly to the sub, presuming the yellow jack goes into the pink jack port).
On the three-jack end, is Black, Yellow and Green
I have plugged the three-jack end's jacks into the Black, Yellow and Green jack ports on my motherboard.
Everything is now matching. I also have Windows and the Realtek HD Audio Manager set to 7.1.
The front left, front right, front center, sub and back right work fine. However, neither of the side speakers or back left work.
Any ideas?

Hi Kingmustard,
It's recommended to find out which colored audio jack is used for the front, rear, side & center/subwoofer for the Realtek HD audio. The motherboard manual should have this information. Depending on the configuration, you may need a 4 to 4 cable instead. Our default 7.1 connection setup with our Creative sound cards uses the supplied 3 to 4 cable.
Please refer to this article.

i've all deconnected, uninstalled, and RE- install ALL the syteme.... same problem
I'm starting to become crasy.

FAINT sound from Side Speak

Hi! again, can someone help me configuring X-Fi Fatality & T7900 so that I have proper sound output from all 8 channels. Have Windvd 7. A very faint sound comes out from Side Speakers. When I test speakers, they seem GOOD with proper vol output through all channels. THX console also shows proper output of sound from all speakers. MP3 plays well, but When I play any DVD there is hardly any sound from side speakers. Tried every thing. Guess I am making a mistake in configuring setup. I tried using the below advise but still no go. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster.?You should choose this option if?you don't have an external decoder. In the DVD software, select 'SPDIF' as the audio output method and make sure that 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the souncard options is?off. The DVD software will now pass the compressed audio to your soundcard, which will then decode the data. The soundcard will output the 6 channels using the?analogue connections (or digital DIN, more on this later). If you try?to use a digital optical/coax connection to your speakers, you will only hear faint sounds from the front left/right speakers.---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - X-Fi Fatality & Inspire T7900WinDVD 7WinXP Pro.?[color="#ff0000"]Please Guide

Very Little Sound in Side/Rear Speakers (7.1 speaker syst

I have WIN XP 32 bit, the Audigy 2 ZS soundcard, Creative 7700 7. 7 piece speakers and the Creative sofrware installed. I can hear sound in the side/rear speakers but it is quite faint and I can't see how to turn up the volume. Any help would be great. Jerry.

SnIpErMiKe,
The Inspire 7700 should have come with the 7.1 cable. Have the package content again.
If you still do have it, it's best to contact support and see if they have this available.

Very Little Sound in Side/Rear Speakers (7.1 speaker system)

I have the same problem and I just sent my sub woofer at a cost of an additional $30 shipping and just got it back to find the one I got back if not the same one LEFT REAR SPEAKER DOES NOT WORK. Before it made distorted noises, now it doesn't nothing. This seems to be a repeating partern I'm seeing here and of course no info in FAQ like popping crackling noise in XFI.... Same thing with the speakers. I love the Mods recommendation, its funny when you catch them giving advice for stuff you've tried without luck and you know lightning rarely strikes twice.... Or posts twice. I'll check back if I figure something out, hope if you find a fix you post it please.

DVD Audio- I want sound from sides, not r

Is there any way to reconfigure so that surround sound from dvdaudio comes out of the side speakers instead of the rear when using a 7. setup?

Blakejohann,
I am not aware of any way to do this. The mapping to the channels is discrete and our card doesn't have software that allows remapping channel outs.

No Sound from Side Speakers on P7800

I just got my P7800 speker setup and installed. I have an Intel D95PBL motherboard with a built-in 7.1 sound card. I plugged in the four jacks on the sub woofer (center, front, side, center) to the four jacks on the sound card. I set the switch on the Sub Woffer to "Direct" for use with 7.1 sound cards.
I used Intel's Audio Studio application (http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/ias/) to configure the sound card for 7.1 speakers. I then used their built in test sound to check the channels. The Front, Center/Sub, and Rear speakers all tested perfectly. When I tested the Side channel, I got nothing. No sound what so ever. The graph display for side speakers in the Audio Studio shows there is something being played but I hear nothing out of them.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
T

I am having the exact same problem!!! Please help, I am using a D95PBL motherboard, and i have the P7800 speakers. The problem is that there are four connectors on the side of the audio cable that connects to the sub woofer. However on the one going to the computer, the blue one is missing which is the side speakers one. Is there a reason for that?

No sound one side on headphones

new iPhone 4s no sound on one side on headphones

goblue91, you RULE. That was EXACTLY the problem in my son's case. He has an iPhone 5 with ios 7.0.4 and was pairing an LG HBS730 bluetooth headset. Contacted LG, they told me to mail it back and get another one, so I did. The new one came it, same problem. I found your post, went into the Settings->General->Accessibility>Hearing, and sure enough, he had moved his balance all the way to one ear. Thank you very much for your post. Saved me ALOT of headaches.

Installed NEW Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Drivers... No Sound from side left spea

I installed the NEW 2.8.4 Drivers for my Audidy 2 ZS and now I have to sound comming from my side left speaker. When I do the speaker tests, all the speakers work except this one.
Is anyone else having this issue. I even reinstalled the drivers again to no avail.
Urgghgh this is anoying. I get dead silence from my side left. I am using Creative T7800 7. Speakers too by the way.
If anyone can help, please let me know.
Thanks,

Hi iLLz I do not have this issue with the new drivers, however may I suggest you uninstall the old drivers first. To do this. Locate the downloaded driver exe. SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_0004.exe Extract this with an application called WinRAR http://www.rarsoft.com Once you have extracted the driver file run the .exe called setup.exe in your drivers folder. eg. SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_0004\Drivers Select the uninstall option. Good Luck
As for additional info ...
When you update drivers by running the setup.exe found on \Drivers -folder, (or ctzapxx.exe found on it's \Support\i386 & amd64 sub folder ) --> select (tag) the "Overwrite existing shared ..." -checkbox --> you do not need to run this uninstall process at all.

Squeaking Sound from sides of iPhone 3G

I noticed today when I was on a call with my new iPhone 3G that if I slightly squeeze the sides that it makes a squeaking sound. I'm not sure it the sound is coming from between the silver trim or screen glass or from between the silver trim and back cover. Now the sound doesn't affect the phone in anyway; its just bothersome to know that it makes that sound. I got it on launch day and I don't want too much time to pass by that if it becomes worse over time I won't be able to do anything about it. What is the return policy for the iPhone 3G and would anybody know if they would exchange it on-site for a new one? I don't want them sending me one through Exchange By Mail and I certainly don't want them trying to pass on a refurb to me.

Take it back mate! Why should you settle for a product with defects when you've paid so much for it a committed yourself to a contract? I'm on my 4th Black 16GB iPhone 3G at the moment. I love the phone to bits, but these common defects are beyond a joke. My last handset had:
Scrathed chrome bezel
Creaky chrome bezel
Backlight leakage on the left hand side of the phone
Poorly fitted rubber gasket
Dust trapped underneath the screen
A chunk of glue stuck between my silent switch
Accelerometer wasn't calibrated properly, apps that used it tended to veer to the left
and....

Hello!
Have you tested your hearing? Sorry!
I got a Tbird too, of the 100 kind. There is also a 133 kind. Which is yours?
Has it always been like this, that is, have it ever worked? Normally sound problems are Windows related, but this was odd.
Is there good contact for the speaker cable? Try jerking it a bit, in and out?
Any error messages in Device Manager? Could try - again - uninstalling current driver, reboot to enter SafeMode and reinstall.
Here is an advice from the Internet: "You are probably using a mono plug for stereo speakers. Either that, or the driver may not be loading correctly. On some systems, if your sound card drivers are not loaded in CONFIG.SYS, you will only have left-side sound." http://www.5starsupport.com/faq/sound.htm#1-5

Will not: rotate screen, camera will not work, iPad will not turn off, sound on side.

Ipad will not turn off, sound button does not work, camera does not work, screen will not rotate. Have new ios and update.

Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.
