Subwoofer won't work

Hello.
I've a 5.1 sound system. I don't want to use all my speakers, just 2 of them, but I also want to use my subwoofer. My speakers work very fine, but my subwoofer doesn't.
Kernel: 3.3.2-1
Alsa: 1.0.25-1
Sound system (subwoofer included): Bluesky BHT 110
Alsamixer is correctly configured, and when I turn on my subwoofer, it sounds, so it's well connected.

Oh! I know what's happened now. I think. When you said there's supposed to be a setting for bass redirection it got me wondering... Then I realised what must have happened. I didn't install anything from the CD that came with the sound card. I instead opted to just download and install the latest drivers from the soundblaster.com website. As such (now that I look at the CD) there's a lot here I probably need which didn't get installed with those drivers.
Okay I've installed all the stuff I think I need now... and does it work? YES! I knew the solution was staring me in the face. Thanks you very much for helping me out I very much appreciate it.

  • Subwoofer won't work in 7.1 surround with Audig

    I've got a surround sound system for my new Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4 (not the pro version), and I have it all correctly setup but for some reason the subwoofer won't work. I have it set to 7. surround and as it is now everything is plugged in the correct place and all powered on and I know this for a fact because I've checked it, checked it again and rechecked it against the specifications for the Audigy 4 in the user guide and in the knwloedge base on the sb wbsite. The subwoofer does actually work too, so it hasn't broken or anything. I plugged it into the front speaker plug and it boomed away like it should do.
    Everything else works as it should, the front left/right speakers, the front speaker, the rear speakers and the side speakers, just not the woofer. Does anyone have any ideas why not? I have the latest drivers installed and I cannot find anything in the Creative Audio Console or anywhere else sound related for that matter to fix the issue (unless I'm overlooking something, which I figured I must be?). I'd appreciate any help at all as I'm pretty much stuck, and with no bass playing surround sound just isn't the same.

  • Subwoofer don't work on last 7.1 24bit dri

    Hi! I've installed the last driver for SoundBlaster 7. 24bit. I've setup to 5. (I have 5. system)?from Audio Console but the subwoofer don't work. What can I do to work as 5., not as 5.0. Thanks!

    i think we have the same soundblaster. try this driver:
    http://files2.europe.creative.com/ma...B__04_0077.exe
    and it may help you. also, try the xp drivers. this way you won't need audio console anymore because the applications [for xp] from creative [eax console, surround mixer, etc] will work for you.
    also check the sound settings in control panel. is it set on 5.
    le: i just installed this driver: http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=26859
    it works like a charm. try it. uninstall everything for your soundcard and install the driver. you get vista drivers and the apps.
    it's great [one thing though, there's no independent speakers volume control, so you'll have to use the eax front/rear balance slider to calibrate the speakers].

  • HP LaserJet Pro C1415fn color MFP - fax won't work

    I have a LaserJet Pro CM1415fn color MFP on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I've been using the printer for two years now.
    At the moment the fax function only works if I use it manually (i.e. if I place a sheet of paper on the scanner, select the "Fax" button on the printer touch pad and dial the number). However, if I want to send a fax via the PC interface, it won't work.
    For example, if I open a PDF, click on "Print" and select "HP LaserJet Professional CM 1410 Series Fax", nothing happens -- no window/interface will open. If I select "HP Send Fax" or "HP Fax Setup Wizard" from the program menu, nothing happens.
    I've always been sending faxes this way and I just don't know what happened... Can anyone please help?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Clabee ,
    I see that you can't fax from the PC anymore. I can help you with this.
    If this just recently happened, I would do a System Restore back to when everything was working properly.
    System Restore for Windows 7.
    If you would prefer not to do the System Restore, uninstall and reinstall the printer software. It might become corrupted.
    Here are the steps to run the uninstall from the computer or the CD.
    To uninstall from program files:
    Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window.
    Select the C drive.
    Select program files or program files x86.
    Open the HP and printer name folder.
    Select uninstall.
    Uninstall the software from the CD:
    Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
    Disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software. How to use MSCONFIG .
    Click on the start up tab and click disable all.
    Download, save and install the latest drivers.
    HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer Drivers.
    Test the printer and try sending a fax again from the PC.
    Then you will need to go back in and enable the start up programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a wonderful day!
    Thank You.

  • I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • PDFMaker loads but won't work in Word 2013 - Acrobat XI and DC - Win 8.1 Pro

    OK, I opened a question that never got answered and it never was resolved...
    Just updated to Acrobat DC - same problem exists...
    I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro fully up to date..
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 Pro (I have an Office 365 subscription so it's the click-to-run install).
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro DC.
    I've rebooted (a full restart, not Win 8's fast boot restart) between each installation.
    I've tried this in multiple Office applications, none of them work EXCEPT for Outlook.
    For the following I will use Word as my examples...
    I've uninstalled all plug-ins and still it won't work.
    I've tried running Word as Administrator.... still won't work.
    OK... so this is what it looks like... as you can see the toolbar loads, but no icons...
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/wsbs4kon3z4e965/Word%20Acrobat%20Screenshot.jpg?dl=0
    When you click on those buttons... it goes through the motions as if it were creating the PDF... but no file is ever created...
    If I right-click on a Word document and select Convert to PDF - it goes through the motions of creating the PDF, asks me where to save... and then a dialog box named "Acrobat PDFMaker" comes up saying " {Exclamation Point Yellow Triangle Icon} An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
    If I right-click on a text file... and select Covert to PDF,  it immediately pops open a PDF of the text file.  Same with any image file.
    This was all working perfectly up until out of nowhere it stopped working on January 26, 2015.  See my original posting here: Acrobat XI Pro Word 2013 add-in stopped working
    I can Print to PDF using the PDF Printer without any problems.
    Creating a PDF in Outlook, no problems...
    I'm hoping somebody can figure this one out... I'm completely stumped.... and I'm usually very good at troubleshooting stuff.

    Click to Run according to Microsoft: 
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219427.aspx
    "Click-to-Run is a Microsoft streaming and virtualization technology that reduces the time that is required to install Office and helps you run multiple versions of Office on the same computer. The streaming technology enables you to download and begin to use an Office product before the whole product is installed on your computer. The virtualization technology provides an isolated environment for Office to run on your computer. This isolated environment allows you to run the latest version of Office side-by-side with an earlier version of Office that is already installed on your computer."

  • WEP Password Won't Work!

    I have a Wireless router, which can do WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption. If I have WPA2, then my desktop (Windows) can't remember the password, so that encryption is out for the mo, WPA won't work on our old laptop, and so WEP is all that's left. Every device in my house (including my iPhone) can connect, but my MacBook fails too! I have tried loads of different WEP passwords, and it can still connect to other WEP protected networks, but not mine! Is there anything I could have done, or is this a general problem?

    Just like Windows stores your network profile info in C:\Document and Settings, the mac stores your network location in a plist file.
    WEP is really for B/G networks, most newer networks are using WPA/WPA2 because it is more secure.
    Can you connect to WPA2 Personal with the mac and that router?
    Can you create a new Windows profile under network settings? (you should be able to).
    Sometimes if you cannot connect using ASCII character for the password, look at your Key 1: on Windows for the Hex version of the password and try typing the Hex in the password box.
    IF your password for WEP is short, like less than 8 characters, that may be the problem, it order to get WPA2 you need a password at least 8 characters long, 10 is better and more accepted by encryption schemas. Try adding 1234 to the end of your existing password (i.e. password1234) in the router, then input it again to see if it works. Try making the password exactly 10 characters long if you can.
    WEP is like having no security at all, WPA/WPA2 is much more secure.

  • ITunes password won't work

    Aplle TV keeps telling me to put in my password but when I do it won't work. But I checked it on iTunes and it worked there, as well as online. Then I went online and changed it but Apple TV still won't accept it. What gives?
    Edit: Nevermind it's working again. I had to reset Apple TV.

  • Wireless password won't work

    trying to connect to wireless at work, but the password won't work.... i try'd the same password on ipod... works fine... also i can use wireless at home... no prob....
    any ideas?

    Powerbook G4, you may have a wireless card that is too old and doesn't support newer encryptions schemes like WPA or WPA2. What are you using as your wireless encryption algorithm at home?
    Per my profile, you can see that I have a computer designed and manufactured eight years ago. It uses an old 802.11 "Airport" card; not "Airport Extreme" as does my Mac Pro. It doesn't do WPA or WPA2. If the wireless access point (WAP) at work is using those, you'll be prompted for a WEP password because your computer doesn't know any better. But it won't work.
    So first thing you need to do is find out what does the WAP use. Next thing you need to do is go into your System profiler and see what kind of Airport card your Powerbook has.
    If it's not an "Extreme" or "Express" or whatever, just a plain ol' "Airport" card, then you are SOL trying to use that to connect to your work's WAP if they are using WPA or WPA2. There are some USB wireless thingies that you can plug in to an available USB port and you can use that to access the work (and home) networks. I know that BDAqua has previously posted a URL or three that point to some inexpensive USB 802.11 transceivers that you could use on your Powerbook.
    As a side note, if this is indeed the case for your situation, this would also imply that you are probably using an inferior (as in hacked/cracked) wireless encryption protocol at home. Once you get a WPA2-capable USB thingy, get in to your router's wireless setup and change it to WPA2-PSK-AES.

  • Flash is up-to-date, but Plugin won't work

    Hi!
    I'm using Firefox 29.0.1 on Windows 8, (also up-to-date), and Flash plug-in won't work. I re-downloaded & installed Adobe Flash 13.0.0.214...I verified it on their website, but I can't get the plugin to work. I had no problem with it earlier today, but for some reason it won't work anymore.
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thank you,

    Hi!
    Yes, I checked on Adobe's site THREE TIMES & I have the latest version, & the animations they have on their site worked fine...I saw them perfectly, (both the red cube bouncing around & the cartoon tree with the animated yellow & orange colored leaves). I'm at a loss why on most sites I have no problem watching streaming video, but on 2 of the other sites that I watch EVERY day, I suddenly get the "Error loading plugin" message on a black screen. It's driving me nuts, as I was watching these sites earlier this morning & everything was fine. The confusing part, to me at least, is why is this plug-in problem is ONLY affecting 2 of the sites I watch AND why did it happen out of the blue...I was watching them without any problem early this morning, just like I do ALL DAY...EVERY DAY!!! (I watch several wildlife live-cams, so it's important that I keep up with changes in the birds I normally watch). None of the other sites I watch are affected...what would cause this to happen?
    I even did a complete shut-down of my laptop, waited, then re-started. Usually, this would fix just about anything...for some reason, I can't get the video stream on 2 cams...I can still view the other cams I watch, though.
    I DID install MS's weekly updates, but it didn't affect my ability to see streaming video on most of the sites I watch; so far only on 2 of them.
    I only have the pop-up blocker that comes with Firefox, but other than that there's nothing else in my add-ons that could interfere. I checked my plugins several times, just to make sure Flash was up-to-date & they're fine, too. The mystery is why I can see my wildlife cams on 4 of the sites I watch but not on the other 2, especially when I was watching them early this morning!!! I feel like I've been dropped-off in some sort of cyber-space time warp, or in the twilight zone & I'm ready to scream!
    If there are any other suggestions, please post them...I'm very behind in my cam-watching!
    On another Firefox-related problem...where do I post a question about some add-ons not working or being visible AND not being able to customize since the last update? I know...I'm just having a very confusing, frustrating day!
    Thanks again for your ideas...I need all the help I can get!

  • TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

    Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
    This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
    1. The phone charges it's battery
    2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
    In iTunes
    3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
    4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
    I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    Hi ralphagir,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.
    Safely disconnect iPod
