Sound Blaster 5.1 surround sound prob

In a nutshell, I have 5. surround sound speakers. The front left and right speakers will not work. Every other speaker on the system is functioning just fine. If I change my audio source from the SB card to SigmaTel audio, ONLY the front right and left speakers and subwoofer function, so I know it's not a speaker malfunction. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!?RunawayJim

U need to go and set to 5. speakers in the Audio Console for the 5. speakers to work.

  • Sound blaster X-Fi surround 5.1

    HI,
    I recently bought Creative Sound Blaster X-FI surround 5. for my Inspire M4500 (4.) speakers. I am using Dell Inspiron 545 laptop with Vista 32 bit Operating system.
    With sound card, they gave me the Y splitter cable and i connected the front speakers cable (from? my woofer) to that and rare speakers wire to "rear" on the sound card.
    I modified the speakers configuration to 4.. But Iam not getting clear sound from rear speakers. it is giving some buzzzz kind of sound where as front speakers are working good.
    How to resolve this problem? I installed all the drivers came with CD and set these as default. Plz advice.
    Thanks

    Hi.
    You can only play stereo audio through optical output for uncompressed audio format. To be able to play more than stereo through optical, you need to be playing compressed audio (dolby/dts). You can read more about this in this thread. http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/Digital-Connections-SPDIF-and-Dolby-Digital-Info/td-p/45857

  • Sound Blaster E5 - SBX Surround question

    Hello all,
    I plan on buying this card for its high quality output for music and movies and for gaming, as it has the SB-Axx1 processor.
    I just need to know one thing, does it show up as a 5.1 or 7.1 card on Windows?
    Some games only allow surround sound if Windows tell them that I have a surround system, and that would limit the use of SBX Surround Pro on most games.
    Thanks

    Hi lagonauta,
    Sound Blaster E5 will be perceived as a stereo card on Windows.

  • Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Music prob

    I have Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Music and i'm wondering how can I adjust the settings so I stop hearing myself in the microphone.
    Please answer me, thanks a lot!

    It has when you are in "Audio Creation" mode and set speakers to 5.1 (or 7.1 if you use tripple plugs). You can route any input monitoring and stereo output to any output jacks, and even duplicate it to several jacks. Depending on your audio software you should also be able to route specific tracks to specific outputs (while in the creative console you define what plugs the output channels are send to).

  • Workaround for Sound Blaster X-Fi surround 5.1 pro on Windows 8.1

    Hi all,
    Here is a post dedicated to the workaround I found to make that USB card work on Windows 8.1 (can any admit make it sticky?).
    I will explain all the things to do in order to install it correctly.
    For that you will need:
    - Your computer and your sound card (obvious...)
    - the original drivers & software CD of your sound card.
    - a USB HUB with an external power supply (very important).
    Please follow those steps:
    - uninstall/disable any on board sound card from windows.
    - reboot
    - plug the USB HUB in your computer, then plug the sound card in this HUB (don't forget to also plug the external power supply).
    - install the drivers and softwares from the original CD in administrator and Windows 7 compatibility mode
    - reboot
    - download and install the last drivers here and install them in admin mode (no compatibility mode this time!)
    - reboot again.
    - That's all! it should work now! Enjoy!!

    Neily,
    I am afraid the specs of your laptop doesn't meet the minimum system requirement.

  • Soundblaster Live! 24-bit No Sound Prob

    I installed this sound card on my windows xp sp2 comp and it worked fine, I went to install the same soundblaster li've! 24-bit card on my windows 2000 sp4 comp and installation went fine. My problem is I get no sound what so ever on my windows 2000 comp and my windows xp comp did, I tried plugging in different speakers, headphones, and any other audio devices I could find that I know worked(tested on numerous things besides my windows 2000 comp) and nothing works. Driver version is 5.2..34, which came directly off the CD from the retail box that I purchase. I could not find any new drivers for this sound card off Creative's website, so I figure there wasn't any new releases. My sound panel has all my volume controls at 00%, the Creative Surround Mixer has all my volume controls set at 00%, and I know for a fact I have everything plugged in correct(Audio output device plugged into green, mic plugged into blue, nothing in orange or black). Any help would be much appreciated,
    Thanks.
    EDIT: System specs are;
    AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 768mb RAM, Radeon 9600xt, FIC motherboard.

    Seventhwind,
    Did you check Speaker Settings application and ensure that the Digital Output Only option has not been enabled.
    Also disable any onboard audio from the BIOS if any.

  • Mail sound probs

    Still having probs with mail sounds not playing, and I can't customize them.
    I replaced the New Mail.aiff sound inside the package contents>resources with a customized New Mail.aiff sound, and even fixed perms. Still won't recognize it....

    This thread may help you resolve your problem.
    Even though the thread relates to "mail sent", you can use the same approach for "mail sent". Just access the file that says "New Mail.aiff". There are 2 posts to follow - the first by Hervey, the second by Gina Prine (her 2nd post). Read both before trying this change, as Gina interjects a step missed by Hervey.
    As a precaution, I suggest you make a copy of the "New Mail.aiff" file - cmd D. If something goes awry, you can delete the original, then remove the word "copy" from the duplicated file. If you have to resort to this step, remember to quit the Mail program first. Good luck.

  • Nomad jukebox zen nx 30gb sound prob

    please help! when i transfer my mp3's from my pc to my zen nx the tracks play but the vocals sound as if your in a swimming pool. this is with the eax in the off position
    anybody else had this problem and any suggestions as how to remedy it.

    Strange. I wondered if the headphone socket was faulty as you are only getting partial sound. Stupid question, and I'm not sure if you mentioned this before, but have you tried some other headphones?
    If this still doesn't help then you need to return it to the store you bought it from, or contact Creative Support.
