Sound out of both rear speakers when I test back left, but nothing when test back rig

Hi All
This has probably been posted before but I can't find the answer.
I have a sound blaster x-fi Fatalty platinum card (just upgraded from extreme music)and I am having trouble with sound settings on my speakers. (this happened with the music card to). When I run the speaker setup i get front right,left,center and sub perfectly fine but when it comes to the rear thats another problem. When it says rear right there is no sound of the rear right speaker, when it says rear left I get sound out of both rear speakers.
When installing the platinum I uninstalled the drivers and program both in windows xp and vista (I have a dual boot machine) and reinstalled from scratch but it still does this. (this happens on both windows)
I have a set of Logitech 5500 speakers connected by analog and no digital connection as I use it for games only. On the speakers it is set to Direct input with the effect as 6 channel(which is the way I have always had it when it was working).
My system specs are: Intel 6850 dual core cpu, X-FI extreme platinum, EVGA 8800 GTX video card, 2 gigs of ram, Win xp/Vista premium dual boot, Logitech 5500 5. speakers, Dell 24 inch LCD Monitor.
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be great.
I thank you all in advance.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63408.exe
When the Chipset driver reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f9 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f5, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again before checking.

DP-K

Inpire P5800 : No sound from center and rear speakers

I have just bought the Inspire P5800 speakers system (5.1) and only the two front speakers and the buffer produce sound. The problem may come from the fact I have an single output audio card (RealTek AC'97). Is there anything to do to have the sound coming out from the 5 speakers (expect buying a 5.1 audio card) ? I read my audio files with winamp and WMP.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I would really appreciate if somebody could reply to my query. Its been very frustating here.
In the meanwhile I have done the following troubleshooting more :
1) Took a head set and connected to all ports at the back of the sound card. Sound is coming from there.
2) Went ahead and removed the creative drive and the application.
3) did a search in the registry with the keyword as "Creative". Removed all entries that were found.
4) Reinstaled the latest drivers and the application.
5) Tried he card ina different PCI slot.
But everything has been to no avail. There is still no sound from the rear and front center speakers. Its really driving me nuts.
It seems as if the souncard is passing the signal to the sub woofer but it is not directing it to both these channels.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Regards,
Amit

How to make stereo sound play also from rear speakers on X-

X-Fi is excellent card. Just one question though (CMSS 3D disabled, 5. speakers set correctly): when I play stereo file (like MP3) the sound comes only from front speakers. Well it's logical of course but my old Audigy duplicated the sound also to rear speakers (the center speaker wasn't used) - so is it posible also on X-Fi to play stereo music from rear speakers too without enabling CMSS?

Actually I just found out that this CMSS3D is VERY good way to expand stereo to 5. (although it's not what I originally meant) - so no need to reply me but I'll welcome any opinions anyway.

Need all sound out of both speaker, no stereo

How do i get all the tracks of the audio to come out of BOTH speakers. I want all sounds to come out of both speakers exactly the same. Ideas?

You have recorded your tracks in stereo. Switch them to mono.
To record stereo tracks you would need two input sources (two mic's left and right). If you record from one guitar or one mic that will be mono.

Sound out reverts to internal speakers at every shut down

Everytime I turn on my Mac Pro I have to go to System Preferences and change the sound to Line out. Every time I shut down the sound out defaults to the internal speakers. is there anyway to stop this?

Things you can try.
1. Smc and pram resets.
2. See if you can get it to "stick" by setting the sound out preference with Audio MIDI Setup (in your Utilitiles folder).
3. Last resort -- temporarily remove the two plists in /Library/Preferences/Audio.

Line out and Sound Effects revert to Internal Speakers when I reboot. Any suggestions?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro that runs fine under Yosemite. The Sound preference panel worked under Mavericks, but now I must open the Sound panel and manually change the output for both Output and Sound Effects from Internal Speakers to Line Out after a reboot. This is irritating and is becoming more so.
I've zapped the PRAM with no success.
Would an AppleScript app on startup work? I can't seem to find any appropriate commands in AppleScript that affect these parameters.
Any help appreciated.

The script doesn't seem to work on Yosemite. Trolling around in the library, it appears that "audio" is now "sound," which would explain the file not found.
Or am I missing something?
Suggestions?

Some kind of buzz/noise coming out of the desktop speakers when I connect my iPhone 6 plus to my desktop speakers. Help?

I have the iPhone 6 plus with the current update 8.02. As soon as I connect my phone to my desktop speaker jack, I can hear an intermittent, low-level buzz/noise coming out of the speakers. I've never experienced this noise with my iPhone 4S or my laptop connected.
Is this maybe a grounding issue with the phone? Could mine be defective?
I just tried a friend's 6 plus and his doesn't make the same noise.
Thanks for your feedback.

I have the iphone 6 plus and when I play a ringtone or a video or music and stop it, the speaker of my phone make a little sound like shhhhhh haha, why? and still there for a few seconds and sometimes minutes

PC Surround sound no center or rear speakers sound output

Ok so i just bought a 5 peice Acoustic Authority 5.1 speakers and i had to buy a 5.1 sound card along, because the one i had did not support the speakers i had. Problem is, i plugged all 5 speakers in including the subwoofer but only my two front work. My front two are operating of the green jack in the back, my center is orange, and the rears the black jack. I tried to change the computer formatting and but i found out they were already set at 5.1. I have no idea as far as th e problem and i don't think it's the sound card because my front two work fine, and i tried all the others on a cd play and they worked just fine. anyone have any idea what i could do? is this a driver update problem? i have been lookin for new drivers, if anyone has any can you please give me the link or something.
any help appreciated..thanks!

Audio Out hissing interference from speakers when connecting VGA/DVI lead

Hi
If I connect my mac air to an amp with speakers via an audio out lead then I get great sound. As soon as I additionaly connect the Mac Air to my LCD TV via the VGA or DVI cables I get this annoying hissing sound that gets louder if I turn the volume up.
I have swapped my audio lead for another but still the same problem.
I used to use the same audio/video leads with an old laptop and had no problems. I assume that the issue is due to the fact that the audio and video connector on the Mac Air are very close to eachother.
Has anyone else had a similer issue or can suggest any alternatives or resolutions? Many thanks.

Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately it didn't work for me either. I guessed from your original post and got the Monster® iCableLink™ Headphone Adapter for iPhone™ cable. It appears to be a 3.5mm to 3.5mm adapter, which seems odd.
However it doesn't stop the buzzing. What I found did help a bit was to turn the volume on the mac all the way to the top and adjust the volume on the amp to listening volume. That kept the buzzing fairly tame at normal listening volumes.
Any other suggestions would be great.

I am unable to get any sound out of my internal speakers and no options to use them are available. Plus the mute box is ticked and greyed out and will not untick

How can I get sound from my internal speakers. I have not set or adjusted any sound levels but all sound is muted and am unable to untick the mute box. I had sound when I bought the machine but now nothing, not even an option to select internal soeakers in Souns setup!!

1. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
2. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
3. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

No metronome sound out of the internal speakers

Hi everybody,
there's no metronome sound coming out of the internal speaker of my Mac while playback.
All settings are fine (play while playback, use internal speakers, "Klopfgeist" switched off) and it worked well with the same settings in Logic Express 7.
Please help!
best regards

yes, its set on All.
The Klopfgeist sound comes via the Interface with the rest of the sounds, but it should be only on the internal speakers (earohone)
It's a setup for live-performance (drummer gets the Click via earphones), sound via interface for the audiance

My Time Machine seems to be hanging up (stopping) beforew completion. I'm running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my iMac G5, and I already trouble-shot the external drive used for Time Machine by using Repair on Disk Utilities. So--what gives?

IMac G5 with Mountain Lion.. amazing.. I am pretty sure support for early Intel stopped at ML and support for G5 long before that.
Load the widget and see if you get error message that the TM is ejecting the drive.. before the backup is complete.. that is one of those nice.. features.. Apple has made available in recent updates.. sometimes called bugs.

I also have an old Creative 4.1 speaker system (been around for about 10 years from system to system)
It worked flawlessly....until.....this morning my daughter was watching NetFlix and she plugged in the headphones. The sound muted the rears (as it is supposed to do) and sound came through the headphones (front jack) as it was supposed to do. She said some popup appeared to which she didn't read and just hit OK (doh!). Now I am unable to get any sound out of the rear speakers when unplugging the headphones. After much playing around, if I un-check "disable front panel jack detection" in the MSI Audio Manager then the sound once again works from the rear, however (as can be expected) it doesn't mute it when the headphone jack is re-plugged in. Strange, thing is that this worked before this morning. It's like it is always detecting the headphones and therefore mutes the rears.

Additional information.
I also have to set: "Separate all input jacks as independent input devices" in the MSI Audio Manager (Device advanced settings) in order to get my microphone to work too.
What the heck happended? What's wrong?
MSI, got any ideas?

Sound from REAR speakers o

Hi,
I have a SB Audigy 4 and a Cambridge SW 5. speaker system running on Windows XP SP2. I recently re-OSd my system and everything was working fine. I was in the middle of a web-cam call and all of a sudden the sound disappeared. I have a Logitech QuickCam, and I understand that its software can interfere with the surround speakers (usually by disabling the rear speakers). Anyways I unistalled all the Logitech software, but still no sound.
I uninstalled and reinstalled my Creative drivers multiple times, and all I can get is sound out of the rear speakers. Nothing out of the front or centre speakers. The AudioHQ speaker test only has sound coming out of the rear. Also, when I play music (e.g. mp3s) it comes out of the rear speakers as well (I thought this was odd as usually stereo sound comes out of the front speakers doesn't it's)
Anyways I've tried switiching the front and rear speakers, and the front speakers work out of the rear channel, so it's not that. I don't know what else to try. I've checked all the connections, etc and nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Have you checked that the cables are mounted OK (i.e. is cabling OK in speaker system ... try by using stereo connection for every pair at once ... connect rear channel cable(s) into X-Fi front output ... connect center/sub into front output) ... are these OK.
Propably you could switch those rear/cent-sub cables as a temp. solution but, would it be a resolution ... well, it's up to you?
Are your sources stereo (i.e. you need to use CMSS to convert stereo signal to multichannel)?
BTW, I had similiar issue in my Audigy 2 card before latest driver update.
