Rear channels mix

Hi everyone.
Been searching for a solution to this issue from a few weeks now and can't even find aonyone with a similer problem so I thought I would post in here.
First off I have installed the latest drivers after removing the prior ones as suggested. Problem remains.
I have a package deal (card and speakers) Audigy Surround 5., Inspire 5300.
My issue is during the speaker test the rear channels both have sound coming out of them. Speakers are confirmed on the 5. set up and the balance /fade is right in the middle.
When the rear left is spoken, both the rear speakers come through stong and clear saying rear left.
When the rear right is spoken it is very quiet but still slightly audible from both rear speakers.
This remains the same when I swap the speaker plugs in the back of the subwoofer.
Now I also have a 5. headset for gaming (Zalman) and when I run the test with these plugged into the card, the sound comes through each channel perfectly.
Is it safe to assume that there is something wrong with the subwoofer itself? Or am I missing something fundamental?
Thanks in advance,
Taikun

Had the same exact problem, like most, i always assume its a software problem before getting that slap-in-the-face?that is a hardware problem. Just try adjusting the rear speaker connection from the sound card to the subwoofer. Unless of course your using digital...in which case?I don't know lol. That is what?I did... I unplugged it and plugged it back in. It should work after that! Now my "Wicked" soundtrack comes in loud and clear :smileyvery-happy:?Good luck!

No rear channel playback when set to 5.1 in speaker settings?

=No rear channel playback when set to 5. in speaker settings?I have a 4. speaker setup. It's the kind designed for computers that runs the line out into the subwoofer and splits the audio into each channel from there, unlike the standard home theater setups that run from a receiver. It's connected from the computer with two analog lines (left/right & rear left/rear right).
The output modes available on the speaker system are stereo, stereox2, Prologic, quad, and Dolby Digital.
I want to be able to set the speakers to Dolby Digital and and have my soundcard (X-Fi Titanium Fatalty) set to 5. Surround on the Speaker Setup screen. I believe this would support the most playback options. The problem is that when I test the audio channels I get no feedback from the rear channels. It works perfectly fine if I set the speakers to quad but won't playback the rear channels when set to Dolby Digital for some reason. I've tried disabling CMSS 3D with no luck either - Dolby[/b] or DTS soundtracks, you will need to turn CMSS off. Otherwise you might not receive each discrete channel."
The closest I've been able to get to the optimal setting of 5. with the speakers set to Dolby Digital is to put the speakers on quad and switch to 5. in the speaker setup (and disable the center and sub channels so center gets mixed into l/r and sub gets mixed a little into each channel keeping each 5. channel broadcast even though it's a 4. setup).
Any ideas as to why I can't get any rear channel playback with 5. and my speakers Dolby Digital?

I'm having the same problem with my audigy 2. I reloaded my computer and installed and updated the drivers, and when I go to the pull down box in Speaker Settings nothings there. Can anyone help?

Rear Channel Sound Volume Controller for sound blaster Aud

Hi?Every body Wish you a wonderful new year 2008,?I am using creative sound blaster Audigy? sound card and the speaker system is creative inspire 5. I have the volume controller for front and center and subwooferbut i don`t have the controller for rear channel and the same time the rear channel is working with the low volume?not able to hear the sound from the rear channel but its working fine if i go near to the speaker i can hear the sound very lowi need to increase the sound for the rear channel?If any body know how to control the rear channel for sound blaster audigy could you let me know .... System Specifications:Operating System :Win -XP Sp2Memory : GBVideo Card :Ausus ATI Radian card?

op
ps.
i want to add. some additional information, my 5. speaker doesn't have digital output, the line out for the sub woofer and centre are red and white line just like the same as the other speaker line, i don't know weather it will cause the front doesn't work or not, but i had read some post it said "In the Creative Mixer, be sure to disable the option for Digital Output Only, and set the number of speakers accordingly. For example, if you have a 5. channel speaker system, select 5.."
if, i didn't change the creative mixer to "disable the option for digital output", will it cause the centre and sub woofer have no sound at all? plesae reply A.S.A.P. as i don't know weather it is the problem of the sound card or just a problem of the setting.....thanks alot.

Crackling, Left Rear Channel noise, IRQs, 4 Gigs of Memory, fixes and problems with XFi Fatal

Hello fellow troubleshooters. Well I've been working on my XFI issues since there are so many of them trying to make the one piece in my newly built system work as intended. I will put my hardware info below this post for comparison purposes if it helps you at all or for feedback/ideas. Well first off I had the crackling noise popping so on even when my machine was idle. If you have not done this yet do it
!!! Start, Control Panel, Sounds Speech and Audio Device, Change Speaker Settings, Advanced (in device volume), ok now there is a bunch of sliders go to "options" check everything, ok now that you see all the sliders mute Everything besides: Play Control, Wave, CD Player for testing purpose. You will probably hear a difference as you do it. Especially Mic 2. Ok well that issue resolved my popping crackling noises when idle. Ok so I still have a shared IRQ issue since I have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe board and the slots go as such PCI-E, PCI, PCI, PCI-E, PCI. Well since the GeForce 7800 GTX cards I have take up not just the PCI-E slot, but also the PCI slot is covered from the Huge Fan. Then the Same thing for the Second graphics card. So I have only one slot that works for my PCI Fatalty sound card. Well this forces me to share PCI IRQ between one of the Video Cards and the Sound Card. Its not a "conflict" it is simply sharing the IRQ, after the above issue fixed my popping issue this no longer was a concern. Now my big issue is that I sent my Sub Woofer in for RMA, I have the Gigaworks S750 7. THX speakers, they are great but when I really crank up the volume on them I would get the sound like a speaker was blown in the left rear channel, so I swapped another speaker in its place and I have the same problem. So the RMA folks said to send in the Sub Woofer which cost me over $30 to ship the thing only to have them tell me there is no problem. Well I had recently done RMAs on my sound card, both Video Cards, and my mother board too in hopes of fixing the next problem. So everything is new though I got a refurb on the mobo. So I'm just waiting on my Sub woofer now so I'm using my headphones and guess what I'm finding there is this noise in the left speaker, an issue I sent the headphones back for a long time ago when I was using them waiting to buy my speakers. I have the Creative Pro Gamer headphones. So now I read a post about someone else with the same issue left channel, and I have to wonder I am not alone and that usually means in Creative Labs land there probably is others with this issue that have spouses that wont let them stretch their audiophile legs with extreme volume, if this is you try it out kick up the bass, and see if you have this problem too, if so please post it here. I have no clue on this one and I am open to any ideas. Ok and the last issue!! This is the real problem I'm facing now. I play EQ2 I love my MMO titles with the occassional single player title for those short stints at the computer between work, parenting, and stuff my wife demands be started before she finishes speaking of it (those of you married know what I'm talking about). I have 2 operating systems, XP Home, and XP Pro 64. Home I use for Office, graphic design, and general applications. XP Pro 64 I use purely for gaming. All my games are installed through this OS which is on my 2 74 Gig Raptors in Raid 0, I have another Partition for XP Home, and a 3rd for all the game installs. So I recently found that after selecting Extreme Graphics option in EQ2 then moving the rest of the sliders to Max that my G5 keyboard which has a performance monitor in it showing the amount of Ram usage showed me hitting about 90% and would spilke at the same time as I found I had frame rate slowdown. So I decided to get 2 more gigs of Corsair Twin XMS 3500Pro 024x2 memory bumping me up to 4 gigs. Well I had to go into the bios I found and change a memory setting to discrete and enable the memory hole in order for XP Pro 64 and the motherboard to see the memory. At this time I was working on other things with my computer, and suddenly the popping noise came back so I'm pissed now.... But oddly its not happening in XP home, only in XP 64. So I'm thinking I may have to go to XP home for my gaming OS, then just before I install home I remember that XP home wont register 4 gigs of memory.... So I go turn off the memory hole and discrete settings and this sets the memory to 2 gigs.... Crackling sound in ALL EAX GAMES goes away.... So now clearly my issue with my sound card and EAX crackling noise is Memory related somehow. Now I have isolated it to 4 gigs of memory, but it makes me think of those folks with this issue perhaps something is amiss with their memory and how it works with timing, or onboard memory on the sound card which is a first time memory is put on a sound card?.... Any input is appreciated as to how to repair this issue, thanks for reading, below is my system set up.

Evolve,
I have the a8n-sli Premium which as you stated is basically the same board with a couple extra items. I have the latest beta bios ver -06. Since the early fall release the option which we will be talking about was available in the premium board which it I remember was Bios rev 9. I would download the latest bios rev.
07.04 (latest beta?or go with 06)?and flash in. Here are the steps to get the proper memory options to work and I have also included my system specs to compare.
) Hit Del to get into Bios
2) Go to the second tab on the top of the screen "Advanced"
3) Select the first option in the menu "CPU Configuration"
4) Select the first option in the "CPU Configuration" menu called "DRAM Configuration"
5) Select Manual configuration from the first Menu item.
6) The last two options in the same menu for DRAM are s/w remapping over 4G and h/w remapping over 4G. Select the "s/w remapping option over 4G" and enable it. Disable the "h/w remapping over 4G."?
7) Hit f0 and save the config.
You should now at post have 4GBws total but only 3GBs of usable memory and your X-fi should crush it in XP64 and XP32.

A8n-sli premium (Bios -06)
amd X2 4400 (~2.5 GHZ)
4GB LL patriot memory (~228 HZ)

2x Seagate Cheata 5K.3?dri'ves
All water cooled
Good Luck

By the way this is defiantly a XP64 driver problem because even with h/w remapping enabled in XP32 the card sounds fine. It only happens in XP64.

Compositing - Channel Mixer Help

I've been using AE now for a few years, (since v5.5) and mostly use it for motion graphics. Using CS3 now. But right now, I'm beginning to work through Steve Wright's book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Compositing-Film-Video-Second/dp/024080760X">Digital Compositing for Film and Video</a> to focus more on true compositing.
The author's aim is to keep the lessons application-independent and present concepts in a way that would be applicable to most software packages. (However, considering the author's frequent references to "nodes" and his well-known status as a Shake user & <a href="http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=408">Shake instructor</a>, it's apparent that using Shake, while reading this book, would lead to the least bumps in the road, when attempting to follow along.)
But I'm not using Shake, I'm using AE and have encountered a small bump in the road. Regarding luma keys he mentions how luma values are represented in the individual colors R,G,B. To cut to the chase, he says, "One standard equation that mixes the right proportions of RGB values to create a luminance image on a color monitor is:
Luminance = 0.30R + 0.59G + 0.11B"
Great. But I can't figure exactly how to mix the RGB values with the above proportions in AE. It's quite easy & straight-forward in Photoshop, using the Channel Mixer. <a href="http://www.geocities.com/kevincbrock/channel_mixer.png">Example here</a>. But AE's Channel Mixer does not seem to work quite the same way as it's counterpart in PS. There are values there, for instance, "Red-Red", but they seem to run in values from -200 to 200, not percentages, like PS. So my question is, how do I achieve the same channel mixing results in AE that I can in PS?
I'll add this: I was able to achieve the desired result in AE, but by using a round-a-bout sort of tactic. Instead of using the "Channel Mixer", I applied the "Set Channels" effect to my sample shot. By changing the "Set Red to Source 1's LUMINANCE", then doing the same for Green and Blue, setting them all to LUMINANCE, the resulting image is identical to the sample shot that was tweaked in Photoshop. Again, it worked, but I'd like to know how to change the proportions of RGB to other values than those represented in the formula above.
Hope this all makes sense.
Oh, and while I'm here.....I'll throw this in: In AE, when you apply the "Curves" effect, can you input precise values for input / output. Again, this is simple in Photoshop, but unless I don't have some display items turned on in the Curves editor in AE, I don't see a way to enter precise values. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any input.
EDIT: for some reason, the links I've posted aren't showing up properly. So if your'e interested in following any of them you'll have to copy/paste on your own. Don't know why......

>Great. But I can't figure exactly how to mix the RGB values with the
>above proportions in AE.
You could use expressions... You create sliders for each input, then feed their output to the actual effects. Something like
//----begin expression
linear(value,0,100,-200,200)
//----end expression
should do in most cases. Still, be careful. Not everything written in that book directly applies to AE. It does not figure in any specifics of color management nor different Gammas which could massively skew results because the source footage will already be pre-adjusted and the comp will add another level of adjustments.
>Oh, and while I'm here.....I'll throw this in: In AE, when you apply >the "Curves" effect, can you input precise values for input / output.
Nope. AE's Curve effect will adapt to the project bit depth as a lot of other effects, presenting you with the problem of which values to actually use. This would only make sense if the effect itself would be independent from AE and process in float all the time and only the inputs were presented as different normalized ranges. There was/ should have been an alternative Curves effect from Frischluft, but at this point development has reached a dead stop, so it's doubtful it will ever be unleashed upon the world.

Xi-Fi Fatality Rear channels appear in the front chann

?My fron speakers are some how using the rear channels as well when I test them, and it's apparent that the rear speakers are not being used save for quiet feedback. This problem just arose when I noticed a lack in rear noise, and is unsure as to what may have caused it last thing i remember toing is cancelling an update for logitech's Mx58 mouse.
?I'm using an Xi-Fi Xtremegamer Fatality card, Vista 32-bit, and logitech Z-5500s. There is nothing wrong with my speakers i've checked them and test the audio channels and they're fine.
?I've tried reinstalling and updating the dri'ves to no avail. Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
P.S if you require more info please ask, as you can tell my abilities with computers are lacking. ?

I have the same?annoying problem.
No matter what I try,
I don't get sound from my rear speakers when using the creative audio console.
Only when I play a DVD with mediaplayer I get my surround speakers to work properly.

Left rear channel not working - Xfi

My left rear channel is not working. Its not the speakers nor the connections, its the soundcard (Xfi XM). I know this because I switched the front/rear connections to test them and the same problem?channel did not work. The problem is in both Vista and XP, so its not the software/drivers either. Any solution to this? Thanks.

ALSO, CDs play properly--and my speakers are connected only to the sound card.

CS6 channel mixer misbehaving!

Can someone help with my problem please? I export a photo to CS6 and use channel mixer to swap the red and blue channel values i.e red from 100 to 0 and blue from 0 to 100
which should give me a blue background for infrared photos then for further PP but it is giving me a green background instead and nothing has changed it has just decided it wants to act strangely
I do have malware on my macbook pro retina so Im wondering if this has something to do with it? Would be great full if someone has any clues?

With the channel mixer to swap the Red and Green channels:
1. Select Red for the Output Channel
Change the Red to Zero (0) and the Blue to 100
2. Select Blue for the Output Channel
Change the Red to 100 and the Blue to Zero(0)
You could also save the settings as a preset so you don't have to adjust the sliders everytime

Curves or Channel Mixer - which is better?

Which do you think is better for colour correcting/adjustment (especially CMYK images)

When you add up the ink percentages of your four ink colors - Cyan+Magenta+Yellow+Black, you'll get your total ink density, which is what I'm sure Alan is referring to. Set one side of your Info Palette to read Total Ink, and then you'll easily be able to monitor that. If you have too much ink density, magazines are very likely to kick your file back, asking you to fix it, making you miss your deadline. If you have too little ink density, your blacks may look weak.
Alan is correct, Curves, Hue/Saturation, and Selective Colors are the first choice tools for CMYK color correction and Channel Mixer is usually for making huge fixes which will usually require Curves to bring back into line anyway.

How to become Channel Mixer

Hi everybody
I Have Photoshop Elements 5 and I would like to upgrade it to a later version. Now I need to know if PSE 8 would have Channelmixer, which I need for my work. If not, can I upgrade to a Adobe Version with Channel Mixer ? And how can I do this ?
Thank you for some advice !
Hanny

Can you point me to where the $299 upgrade to CS5 from PSE8 offer is located? When I
go to the Adobe store and specify an upgrade from PSE8 to CS5, the price is $599. $199 for CSx to CS5,
but that does not help me. Did this promotion end, or am I missing something? Do you happen to know how long the offer will be on the table?

Desaturate and channel mixer

Hi, I have a clip that I have made b&w by applying colour correction and dragging the saturation to 0. I was wondering if someone knows what RGB channel mix does FCE use when we do desaturate? I tried replicating the same with channel mixer and changing the R,G,B value with monochrome ticked but could not arrive at a set of values that gave the same look as desaturate?
I'm using FCE 4.0.1
thanks

I know of the desaturate filter and the monochrome option on the channel mixer.
The reason I am playing around with the channel mixer is because I am not entirely happy with the b&w image that gets displayed. Because of the way the shot was taken, I expect there to be more information in the red and green channels and which is why I am trying to adjust them and get the right detail and contrast.
But as I do that, I was wondering what formula does final cut use when you apply desaturate. In the background, it would also be adjusting the red, green and blue channels? Right?
