Rear sounds have no bass at

Hi,
I tried to find a solution for this problem but didn't find it.
So I just got a x-fi xtremegamer and I'm using it with my 5. headphones. While I'm playing a game there's a really big difference between rear and front sounds, as rear sounds are not as soft as the rest. I don't really know if thats what 5. sounds usually are, but its so big difference between them.
For example when I am ingame and i have a car in front of me, it really does sound like a car. But, when I turn my back at the car, it sounds like a vacuum cleaner or something, its really annoying.
The problem is not in my headset, as i tried to switch the cables (put the headphones front cable to soundcards rearline etc), and then my front sounds were quite poor. Also I've put settings of the soundcard to defaults but it doesn't have an effect to it. So whats wrong with my rearline?

You're not get ANY sound out of your sub? Have you checked to see if it is not blown? If you have any cheap speakers around you might want to switch (and as I always remind everyone an extra set of cheap small speakers is always good to hang on to) to remove that from your list of possible causes.

  • Distorted Subwoofer Sound from Heavy Bass - Gigaworks S700

    When I first got this speaker system, the subwoofer worked great. After awhile of some heavy bass from rap music, the subwoofer got this distorted sound. I sent it in for repairs and when they sent it back it worked good for a little while. After some more heavy bass the distorted sound came back again. I call it a "ripple effect" that occurs. It's okay with a little bass, but if I put in some rap music with heavier bass, it gets really annoying with that "rippling" sound. The bass is much weaker than it is supposed to be. I already sent it in once, and I figure sending it in again will just be a waste of time. It would be nice to just get a replacement, even if I have to pay for the sub seperately. Even that wouldn't guarantee it would work, because maybe Creative's subs are just not that good for heavy bass.
    My subwoofer has been like this for several months now, but I haven't done anything about it because I figure it will be a waste of time. I figure I just buy another speaker system from somebody else in the future, but today I decided to post this here. Anybody else have a similar issue with the subwoofer? Maybe I could ask Creative for a replacement sub, but I don't know if they'll do that. When I first contacted them about it, I wanted to know if I could just get a replacement (free or at a cost) because I didn't want to wait a few weeks to listen to music, but they ignored that part of my email and sent me an RMA number and stuff anyways.

    It sounds like you may be damaging your bass speaker. When you first got your speakers, at what volume did you play them at? What you need to do is start them at a lower volume and let the speakers play continuously for a few hours. You might notice the speakers get louder even though you didn't touch the volume control. Turn up the speakers a little bit and have them play for a few more hours. Keep repeating this until your speakers are playing slightly above your normal listening level. This is called "breaking in" the speakers. Whether or not this does anything can be up for debate, but I noticed that my MegaWorks 550 got louder and the subwoofer was pumping out cooler air after this procedure. If you play your speaker at a very high volume when you first get them, you are asking for trouble. Also, leaving speakers playing full blast for a while can damage them.
    As for a replacement subwoofer, you'll have to contact Cambridge SoundWorks at www.hifi.com because they're the ones who actually make the GigaWorks and MegaWorks. The subwoofer for the MegaWorks 550 is the BassCube 82 (but without the internal 6ch. amp). I'm not sure about the GigaWorks.

  • No rear sound with SB PCI

    Hello all,
    I have a SB PCI 28 (CT4750) since a long time and I never succeeded in making it working with front and rear sound. I found some threads dealing with this problem but the solutions proposed didn't worked.
    The situation is:
    - the card is well connected to a 4. system with 2 cables
    - i'm under Windows XP, i have set sound speaker configuration to quadriphonic
    - with the latest drivers update (SBPCI_WebDrvsV5_2_0.exe) no sound come from rear speakers.
    - with the other drivers proposed (SBPCI28Setupus_w2k.exe, recommended by some threads about pci 28 problems) i have a little sound from rear but all sounds (front and rear) are of a very bad quality.
    Does anyone could help please?
    (sorry for my bad english)

    Hey,
    I've been having the same problem. I also have a SB PCI28 (Model CT4750) and I have tried both drivers as well with the same results. The SBPCI_WebDrvsV5_2_0.exe driver works the best but I am unable to get rear sound to work. The SBPCI28Setupus_w2k.exe driver fixes the problem of getting the rear channels to work but the sound quality is bad. It sounds as though it skips and pops randomly (5 - 60 second intervals) when playing music and doesn't sound the greatest when playing games.
    There HAS to be a solution to this. A driver that totally works or a setting change?
    Does anyone have a solution?

    What's the model number of your soundcard? Certain series of Sound Blaster doesn't support adjusting bass and treble so you have to use the Graphic Equalizer software instead to adjust it.

  • XP 64 bit - 5.1 - Rear Sound comes from front Speak

    Hi,
    i have upgraded from xp 32 bit to XP 64. I have a problem with my elite pro:
    This card ist playing now the 5. rear sound on the both front boxes. I'm extremly frustrated because i'm trying to solve this problem since 5 Hours. I have tried a lot of drivers - the rear sound comes from the front.
    Anybody any idea ?

    "You know, you could just walk behind your computer and switch the cables front and rear cables... "?Brilliant, that would make all sound come out the rears. Why didn't I think of that??I've cleaned and reinstalled, tried drivers without updates, updates without drivers, the best i can do id enable CMSS 3D and get a kind of *******ised stereo that i cam fade front to rear. I cannot get 5. separation with XFi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro under XP64 and 4gB RAM, and it REALLY pisses me off that I accidenetally helped the OP and I'm stuck with the same issue LOL.

  • Mail delivery and received sounds have stopped

    Recently the "whoosh" sound that accompanies mail being sent simply stopped working. A couple of days later the incoming mail alert stopped as well. In all other respects, my Mac mini seems to be working just fine. I'm running the most current OS version. Any ideas? Should I be worried about an impending system failure?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Why do some songs have more bass?

    I have a track and the bass is over powering...............are the low frequencies just a higher decibel when the cd was recorded?
    I have subwoofers in my car and some songs have deeper bass as well............is this just reaching a lower frequency or once again just louder?

    airtas wrote:
    What view would I use to see if a song has a lot of LOWS?  The spectrail view?
    Yes, you can use that.
    You can also use the Frequency Analysis Window.  It's in Window>Frequency Analysis, or you can just hit Alt+z.
    You can also use your ears.  If you aren't hearing the lows in your monitoring situation on the computer where you use Audition but you're hearing the lows on a lot of other systems then your monitors are inadequate.

  • Keyboard clicks and lock sounds have quit

    The keyboard clicks and the lock sound have quit working on my phone today. I have rebooted the phone and that didn't fix it. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Do you have the ring/silent switch on? See the top left side of your phone. Is the red dot showing?

  • My sounds have stopped working for text, YouTube and music

    My sounds have stopped working for text, YouTube and music since in downloaded new software!

    I'm not sure if this will help, but I went into my sounds setting and made sure that both the "vibrate on ring" and "vibrate on silent" were selected to "on."  Once I did this, I was able to get the vibrating notification for a call received (as this had previously not been the case).  Hope this helps.

  • Notification sounds have disappeared

    I have been doing some research into the discussion pages to see if anyone else has had the same problem, and it appears I am not alone. When using iChat, my notification sounds have disappeared - when someone comes on/offline, when I open iChat (I don't get that whhhooooopppp noise), when I have an incoming chat I don't get the ringing sound (particularly annoying for my UK based friends and me when I miss them!) etc.
    I have done the following to try and rectify the problem, but to no avail.
    Trashed the audio preference file. Checked and adjusted the Audio MIDI settings to 44100. Verified and repaired permissions. Opened Garageband and closed it again. All software is up to date....Still nothing - unless I restart in which case it works once or twice and then falls silent again.
    Anyone got any other ideas?
    And if anyone is interested in another problem, I have the recurring issue of the phantom 'submarine' in iChats as well - this only just started recently, but it's so loud and irritating that I have to cancel the chats and try and start again. Recently I've given up video calling (although it hasn't mattered cause I keep missing my friends due to my silent iChat alerts!)
    Any help/ideas on either/both subjects would be much appreciated!

    Just to make sure, you've tried all these settings and still no sound?:
    iChat>preferences>alerts>play sound box has been ticked?
    In the same window have you moved the volume slide bar and still no sound?
    Have you tried to highlight a buddy in your list and from the top menu:
    contacts(buddies)>info>alerts>play sound>select an event and the sound you would like to go with it?
    If these have been tried and it still does not work:
    Quit all open applications, open Quicktime from the dock.
    Hold the command(Apple key) and press "K".
    You'll see the A/V control panel for Quicktime, volume slide bar to the right.
    Now select the iChat icon in the dock and with iChat open, click on the Quicktime icon in the dock once more.
    You will see the A/V control panel with the volume slide bar now on the left (mute).
    Hold the command(Apple) key and press "K", (the A/V window disappears), keep holding the command key and press "K" again, the window appears again and now the volume should be to the right (max).
    Check if the sound effects are working now in iChat.
    For me this somehow works for audio issues, (or maybe I have audio issues because of the toggling).
    Don't ask me why, it works when there is no sound in quicktime movies in safari, or when you have no sound at all.

  • My earphone sound have reduced of its own and reached to a level where now its very difficut to even hear through. how can i get it replaced.

    my earphone sound have reduced of its own and reached to a level where now its very difficut to even hear through. how can i get it replaced.

    verify tthe issue is with the headset by trying them out in another device which use the std. 3.5mm minijack all computer does and mp3players and you name it
    if it's the headset then it's under the same warrenty rules as anything else and will be replaced in the same way you would an iphone or ipad

  • Mail sounds have stopped playing

    For awhile I had the problem of Mail not properly executing rules that contained sound notifications.  Sometimes the sound would be heard, other times it would be invoked after another message arrived, other times it just wouldn't execute even though other rules (such as the icon bouncing) would work fine.
    Now, the sounds have stopped altogether.  Before, when I was creating a rule and was presented with the list of sounds available and I clicked on one, I would get a preview of the sound.  Now I don't even get the preview.  All of my applications that have sound work just fine.
    Any thoughts?
    I am on the latest version of Lion.

    Use the side controls and make sure your phone isn't on vibrate.  Up for ringer.

    I have a similar problem, but after following your suggestion of deleting my iphone backup and then turning backup back on again, I needed to plug my phone into my computer to sync the backup.  I re-tried to do an icloud backup and it again told me that  "the last backup could not be completed"... since I had deleted the backup, it says the "Last backup:  never".  Ugh. I reconnected my iPhone 4S to my computer and iTunes so I could sync my phone and do a backup... it's still "waiting for sync to start"...
    For your iCloud backup, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
    If you turned iCloud backup off and try to sync to create a backup on your computer and got a "waiting for sync to start" error, it may be caused by a corrupt backup on your computer.  You could try deleting your last backup by opeing iTunes and going to Preferences>Devices, clicking on your last backup and clicking Delete Backup.  Then try again.

  • IPhone 5 lock screen sounds have stopped

    The Lock Sounds and Keyboard Clicks have stopped working on my iPhone 5. I've tried going into Settings Sounds and turning off Change with Buttons, Keyboard Clicks and Lock Sounds then turning them back on and that didn't work. Other sounds such as Alarms and Music are still working, it seems that just the Keyboard Clicks and Lock Sounds have stopped. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    MY iPhone5 had stopped making clicking sounds and lock sounds and the solution was the ringer switch silent was turned on. The posts at this location were helpful for me to correct the problem.
