Only faint sound from X-FI extreme gamer in some speak

I am only getting very faint sound from my front Center speaker and from my back left and right speakers. I have to turn up my speaker volume very high to hear anything at all and what I do hear is very pour quality. I have my system in dual boot with vista and XP. I am only having this problem in XP, in vista the audio is fine. I've checked all the volume controls in windows and the creative software. I've also checked the connections. If I am getting some sound from my front center and from my back left and right the connections have to be hooked up correctly.
I'm going to try downloading the drivers and installing them from there.

This was a clean install of XP Pro x64 and a new driver installation. One hour ago I got a wild hair and removed the X-Fi from Device Manager, disconnected my router, then rebooted. I ran the beta-driver installation program and was notified there was still an old Sound Blaster driver installed. It removed the driver and prompted me to reboot before installing the new drivers. As far as I can tell everything is working so far...no blue screens and sound is fine in BF2. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

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

Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

I am getting no sound from all of the game apps on my ipad. i.e. angry birds, scrabble, but I can still get sound from the ipod app. also I can hear the games if I am using earphones

You have your mute button on. In Settings check to see if you have Lock Orientation checked or Mute checked on the right hand side. If you have Mute checked, all you need to do is click the mute button above the volume control buttons on the upper right hand side of your iPad. If you have Lock Orientation checked in settings, you double click your home button and the most recent apps will appear. Swipe your finger to the right until the Mute icon appears on the left side. Touch it and you will unmute system sounds.

IPod touch audio issue: why do I only get sound from one channel in my ear-pods?

After upgrading my brand new iPod touch 5th generation to IOS 6.1.2 I only get sound from the right channel of my ear-pods.
I did not have this issue with IOS 6.1.1. Is this a problem derived from new IOS? Any idea on how to solve it?
Appreciate your help!

Have you tried other headphones? If you confirmned it is an iPod problem:
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Audigy 1 PCI card, only have sound from right side speak

hi guys and gals, I'm thinking my audigy has finally kicked the bucket as i only get sound from of the two side channels, its not a cable or speaker issue, and can find no loose connection or burn through on the card, anyone had this problem is there some simple fix or should i just buy a new card :P
Cheers
Raiden

Wow, so after testing it in linux and not working, i thought to myself definitely something in the connections.
So I look at the sub/rear/front connectors and decide to just disconnect and reconnect them. Surely, enough the rear connector on the soundcard wasn't in all the way hence the only rear speaker working.
Well after spending a day on this and finding the very simple fix all i can say is DOH

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.

IPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in "Pause" mode. No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker. I have 418 songs stored and none will play.

iPod will not play any music. Seems like it is in “Pause” mode. No sound from either the head phones or internal speaker. I have 418 songs stored and none will play. I have tried resetting, turning on and off the iPod, etc. but to no avail.

Try restoring from backup. Next would be a restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Hi there, I have a ipad2, when I go to my ringtones I do have sound, if I go to music, skype or watch youtube I only have sound through my earphones and not my internal speaker

Hi there,
I have a ipad2, when I go to my ringtones I do have sound, if I go to music, skype or watch youtube I only have sound through my earphones and not my internal speaker. I'm not connected to any bluetooth device or anything

Try plugging your earphones in and remove them again. Do that a few times ... Plugin and uplug ... and see if the sound comes back for the speakers.

Sound disappears randomly on Extreme Gamer XiFi Fatal

Hi all,
Very new to the forums here and?I was wondering if anyone could advise me on what I can do. I've been experiencing random and complete sound loss during online gaming and sometimes during browsing or sound distortion while gaming or playing online vids such as youtube. Currently running vista home premium on a quad core system and I have the?lastest driver/software updates for everything. I read a sticky about some Vista compatibiliy issues, but it was an old post so I assume things ought to be fixed by now? Wondering if I should return my card for a warranty replacement or something. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am experiencing similar problems. I installed an x-fi extreme gamer in a new system in November and all was well until 3 weeks?ago. The sound now still works at first boot or immediately after a reboot, but has started dropping out to be replaced by?white noise after anything from a?few minutes?to tens of minutes after switch on. This only resolves after reboot. Starting creative Console, Sound Recorder etc. after the white noise has started results in BSOD.
System details as follows:
Asus Maximus Formula (458 MHz FSB)
Core 2 Duo E6750 (8 x multiplier)
4 GB Corsair DDR2 800
BFG 8800 GTS?320 MB
Sound Blaster Xtreme Gamer
Vista Home Premium 32 bit with SP
500 GB Samsung SATA HD
620?W Corsair PSU
Have uninstalled and reinstalled all latest drivers.
Any thoughts welcome, have tried everything I can think of.

Only hear sound from one speaker

I have been going nuts trying to find help on this. There were some but not exactly the same. So here is my dilemma.
I am capturing miniDV footage from my camera (Sony DVR PC 330) and used a Sennheiser MKE 300 Shotgun Video Camera Mike to capture audio. Then I captured in into FCE and also Toast 6. Both only produced audio on the left side. Now I checked the speakers, used headset and it was the same. I listened to iTunes and audio from other sources and both speakers and headset worked fine on both sides. Only bringing in from my camera did the sound from only the left speaker. So it's my camera or external mic. Well, I checked that too and I listened to the tape with headsets and heard everything fine on both sides. So the tape has all the audio. So could it be that the firewire is bad? Or is there something I have overlooked. Last week I imported a CD into FCE and produced a CD of audio that was fine. So the program is not at fault I would think. Any ideas would be great.

Panning on audio . . . . .>
The panning is set all the way to the left and shows -1. But this is the default setting. As when you click the little red (x) it will go to the left. And I just opened another project that works fine and it is all the way left with -1. If I move that sequence it sound less full with not bass or something, it just isn't right. So not sure this is the solution. And now I have to go out of town for a few days so will look forward to any other thoughts you all have when I return. Keep thinking

Only getting sound from the left earphone

I changed headphones to make sure its not a headphone problem but there is no sound from the right earphone. If I press the connector deeper into the socket then both the earphones work fine, however, I have to keep it pressed down with my finger. Does not work of its own accord. I have had it for 13 months now...any tips anyone?

I have had a the same problem, only its my left headphone that doesnt seem to work.
I've tried using dozens of headphones and speakers but the left speaker or headphone never works.
I have found a cheecky way of getting some sound through however. If you push the ipod jack up at an angle to the roof of the ipod jack hole then you should find that it works. Just press down on the ipod jack (nib bit close to the speaker hole).
Only problem with this is that you have to hold the ipod to listen to it and it can become quite tiresome. As soon as you let go it will stop sound going through that speaker.
I did also find out that this happens to quite a few people and most commonly is caused when dirt (e.g. sand) gets into the ipod jack hole.

I can only hear sound from one side of the head phone

I've plug in my bass guitar through a cord and a converter in the line in port on my PC. Then checked 'listen to this device' (head phone) which is connected properly as it worked perfectly when I play any sound in ma PC. But when I play my guitar, I can
only hear it from one side of the head phone. How to fix it!?

Is that compatible to give output from both sides (R + L) ? Can you check same thing on other system ?
