Only 2 speakers working when playing music?

hi
i just bought a creative inspire P7800 7.1
when i do the speaker test, all speakers work but when i try to play music from an audio cd or mp3, only the right and left speakers work, and the sound isn't loud enough, before i had a 4.1 speaker system and when i playd mp3 or audio cd all 4 spearkers worked and the sound was loud enough..
my question is, how can i make all 7 speakers work together as if they were stereo, so the volume is loud enough?

Nocturno,
What sound card do you have now? If your using a Creative sound card, you can turn on the CMSS feature to upmix Stereo to a 5.1/7.1 soundfield depending on the capability of the sound card. If your using another sound card, you will need to check with the manufacturer if it had such upmix features.

HT2995 Only one speaker works when playing music. Is this normal?

Only one speaker works when playing music. Is this normal?

This being the Mac mini forum, I naturally presumed you were asking about a mini. But in any case, there's only speaker in an iPhone as well.

Only one channel working when playing music via iTunes

My Apple Tv has suddenly started only playing one music channel - ie depending on the song, you sometimes don't hear the lead vocal track, or perhaps drums.
It is linked to my computer over wireless, using plug-in wifi transmitters. When I play the song on the computer using iTunes it is fine. It is not a speaker cable problem as it happens when I play it just through my TV speaker. If I then turn on my home cinema speaker system, all speakers work but only play the one channel. I have looked at settings and can't find anything that would seem to cause this.
Both Apple Tv and iTunes on the computer are up to date with the latest software.
Anyone else experienced this problem, or any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks.

I have no sound when playing music but ringtones and speak phone works!

I have an iPhone 4s and all of a sudden I cannot hear any sound when playing music or watching tv etc via my phone but I can hear my ringtone and text etc and I can also hear calls if I place them on speakerphone!
I have performed a hard reset and also plugged my phone into iTunes but this still hasn't solved the problem.
Unfortunately my phone has a cracked screen....totally unrelated to the sound problem as everything was working fine after I dropped the phone, however, as I have been informed, this has now invalidated the warranty from apple, even though I am not asking them to fix the screen, just the speaker, therefor I am not entitled to a new phone from apple! Anyway.....if anyone out there can help me in anyway, or can suggest anything that I can try to fix this problem, please, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance.

My headphones work by the way.
Also, when I try to increase, or decrease the volume when playing music or trying to listen to something....even my videos, the buttons on the side do not adjust the volume or attempt to adjust it. I have gone into settings and sound and made sure my phone is not on mute and made sure the setting is checked so that the buttons on the side control the volume! I just don't know what to do!

After updating to iOS6, I lost all sound for apps like YouTube, Netflix, games, and even notifications. The only time sound worked was during a phone call or when the head set was plugged in.
I did a full back up and restore- sound restored but only for a day before the problem returned.
Called Apple Support and was advised to do another restore, but this time restore it as NEW first, then do the restore from back up.
Seemed to do the trick.
Here are the instructions of what I was given- hopefully this will help you too:
Here is a link about backing up your iPhone with iTunes.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
Once you back up your device you will want to restore it.
You will need to have iTunes open on your computer screen.
Please turn your iPhone off.
Press and hold the Home Button.
Continue to hold the Home Button as you plug you iPhone in to the usb cable.
You will want to continue to hold the Home button until you get a screen with the message "device found in recovery mode".
Please follow the prompts and restore device as NEW.
once the restore is done you will have to set up the device and test the sound.
If it works you will then need to restore the device from the back up to restore your user settings.
You can find the instructions how to restore from back up also from the the link I provided.

No sound when playing music iPhone 4s and not charging right on some chargers.

No sound when Playing music on iPhone 4s and issues charging on some chargers. This below worked for me - Thanks.
No sound only when playing music. 2013 11:05 PM. My wife had the same issue with her iPhone 4. The volume bar was grey inside the music app and the volume buttons on side of phone didn't work. Cleaned out the charging port using rubbing achoal and a Q-Tip.

Hi
I have the same problem. iPhone 4S with newest update. No sound while playing music (grey volume buttons). No sound for alerts e.g. incoming SMS.
Total reset does not help. Restore from iTunes Backup helps, but sound only available for some minutes (can play music direct form iPhone, without ear-phone)
Issues is still open. All contact cleaned (ear-phone etc.)
Please help.
With kind regards,
Swiss JFK

The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos. Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik. Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not. Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts.

The sound on my iPhone 4S cuts out when playing music/podcasts. If I unplug and replug in the headphones, the sound comes back on, but often for only 20 seconds or so before cutting out again. Sometimes it will play for 15-20minutes before cutting out. The track is not "paused", and appears to continue, just no sound. I tried cleaning the headphone jack with compressed air to no avail. I also noticed the the same phenomenon occurs when I sync my bluetooth to my car audio. That is, it will play for a while, then the sound will cut out, even though the track is still shown to be playing. If I reset the bluetooth, the sound comes back on.
This started happening about a week ago, but no "event" that I can think of caused it. I didnt' get the phone wet, forcefully drop it, or leave it in extreme heat. I've tried doing a reset of the phone. I also was running iOS5 when I first noticed this, and since upgraded to iOS6. The problem appeared with both.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone. I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner. An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand. The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced. I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.
