Incubus0588,
CMSS is an upmix feature of EAX that allows stereo sound to be played back over surround speakers. It can be enabled in the EAX console; however I don't think it is the problem here. I want to run a couple of tests:
) Plug the cord for the rear speakers into the Green (front speaker out) jack on the card and run a speaker test. Does it produce sound from the rear speakers?
2) Plug the cord from the front speakers into every one of the jacks one at a time running a test for every one. Note what you hear when you run the test (are you hearing Center, Rear, or Front speakers). Also is the a sound playback icon showing up in front of all the speakers as they are tested in the picture on Creative Speaker settings when you run the test?

  • 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.

  • Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

    Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
    This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

    Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
    Regards.

  • Why is the sound browser so slow during playback?

    Why is the sound browser so slow during playback? This problem seems to have no solution. This problem even occurs on my Mac Pro With 8 Cores... This problem is in its 3rd Generation since version 8... Even AU Plugins with built-in sound browsers trigger sounds in real time. Whats up Apple? I would love to find a solution after 5 yrs of using this program... U-Jean

    This Problem has been occurring before 2011 according to the link below....... *** Apple!!!

  • Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.

    Why such sorry sound quality on iTunes? On some of my purchases the sound level is suppressed on the audio. On others the volume is so low that if I have it set for another song and a new one starts I have to increase the volume to hear it.
    There is so much distortion on some of the music I have to play it with QuickTime to get a "clean" track.
    What can be done to get a consistent volume level or is this another typical Apple product that you have to take what you get and be happy because it's not a Microsoft product?

    If that's the best you can do why don't you get on another forum?

    why doesnt the sound play off my speakers when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv?

    Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided.  And none were given here.  It is likely an issue with the device settings, and or a conflict with the type of audio encoding used in the video and the device(s) [tv, stero, amp, etc.] actually playing the audio.

  • HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

    When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:
    SMC RESET

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

  • HT4623 Why are my sounds not working?

    Why are my sounds for my messaging, facebook and mail not working?

    Hi PMorgan,
    Go to Settings>Sounds - go to the bottom of the screen, and make sure your Lock Sounds and Keyboard Clicks are turned to "On". Also, if they are already on that setting, turn them off and back on again to see if that fixes the issue.
    If it doesn't, then reset your iPad (no data will be lost). Press the Home and Power buttons at the same time and hold them both down until the Silver Apple appears. After the Home screen comes back up, see if your issue is resolved.
    Cheers,

  • HT4859 Why is not sound recordings included in the back up system, I use them on daily basis?

    Why is not sound recordings included in the back up system, I use them on daily basis?

    HP Backup backs up many folders that are useless, most of your personal files should be in a folder with your old user name in the "Users" folder. This Backup app is also known to be a pain.
    As for why you got the error, which sounds like all files were not extracted, that could be a faulty DVD, something caused a bad write to DVD,etc.
    If you don't see a 'Users' folder, I would probably start by deleting the folder created on Desktop and make a new one either on desktop or in My Documents. Next copy files from each DVD to that new folder. From the folder try running the .EXE file again to see if any better results.
    One other suggestion-go into Control Panel, Folder Options and check to be sure 'Hidden files' are shown.
    If all else fails, install 7Zip and try it to extract the .WIM files.

  • Why isnt my sound working on my ipod

    why isnt my sound working on my ipod only when i have headphones in

    If you confirmed the headphones are not the problem.
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • 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?
