X-Fi Fatal1ty - Rear Speakers on 5.1 not working without using CM

Hi,
I've bought a brand new PC with Vista (32bit) installed and i've upgraded all the drivers for this graphics card and i just can't get any sound out of my rear 5. speakers without enabling CMSS.
If i disable it and do diagnoistics, i get responses from all the speakers in both voice and noise tests. If i then try and run a DVD or MP3 through the rear speakers i get now sound.
How do i make these rear speakers work?
Cheers,
Craig

Ok, for those who also wanted to know the outcome, I though I'd post.
I was told that the dongle cannot decode 5. to analog, but the Dri've Upgrade and the Console Upgrade could (at $80/$80 vs. $5).
Great.
So what I want to know is this:? what chipset or connection is Creative putting in the Dri've Upgrade and Console Upgrade? It seems to me that the card should be doing the decoding, not the type of optical port. If it's getting the signal, then what is the problem? Is is that the flexijack cannot output/input 5. at all, only stereo?
Anyway, the Digital I/O dongle is going back, the thing is useless for my purposes. While I can hear 360 games fine, DVD's on it default to 5. if they have that type of audio, and there is no way to switch it to stereo; it gives me only silence then.
And mods, nothing in my frustration is with you; you seem to be very helpful and responsi've. I just wish the rest of the company would get on the ball.

Internal speakers and headphones are not working

I have hp g6 2231tx os Windows 8, brought it a month ago..now it's internal speakers and headphones are not working..I enabled in playback device from sound mixer and reinstalled drivers but still not working..it's because of hardware or software??

Hi,
It could be either Hardware or Software related, so try the following and let me know.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58501-59000/sp58517.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, 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 f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, 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, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

HELP! Xtreme Music wont play rear speakers in 5.1 (only work in CMSS-

Just upgraded to quad core and dx0 and still my Xtreme Music will not play true 5. and EAX, my rear speakers only work when in CMSS-3D. I have always had this problem since the day i bought the card but i didnt occur to me that it wasnt playing EAX.
For example when i do the 5. speaker test with the CMSS3D off, the rear speakers play out of the front ones as if it were 2. .
I have ran dxdiag and and it says that it only detects the card as being software audio insted of hardware. Also while playing Medieval 2 Total War it says while selecting any EAX type "unable to find hardware support"
Please help,
thanksMessage Edited by dio300 on 2-25-200705:47 PM

MacBook speakers and headphones are not working! Please help.

MacBook OS X 10.6.8
2009 model
I was watching a movie and my MacBook randomly shutdown by itself. I turned it back on and had no more problems, so I restarted the movie. The audio was not working in my headphones. So I tried the internal speakers and there was still no sound. I did a quick google search which led me to trying various options and finally called Apple Support on the phone.
I've tried resetting my PRAM but it only showed an alternating screen between grey and black. Nothing happened. I also reset SMC but that didn't work either. I have checked everything in system preferences, Audio MIDI, etc. and it all appears to be correct.
While on the phone we found that when I plug headphones or an external speaker in, it does not show up on the "output" menu under System Preferences > Sound.
I do NOT have the money to go to a computer store and the nearest Apple Store is 2 hours away. I desperately need help because most of the work I do involves having to be able to listen to sound. Please help if you can. I'm not ignorant when it comes to computers but I'm no genius. If you have any ideas, please be specific. Your help is very appreciated.
PS. When a speaker is plugged in at first, I hear a little crackling from it. The same happens to what sounds like internal speakers if I start a video.

Speakers on monitor do not work with Win 8.1

Yesterday I upgraded from Win X - SP 3 (discontinued by Microsoft) to Win 8.1. I spent the entire day with a Microsoft technition on-line to figure out how all this works. One thing he could not get to work was the speakers on my monitor (HP vs 19c). He took over control of my computer to work out the various issues. I know he went to Realtec to try to find a driver for the speakers but without luck. The speakers worked before, why don't they work with Win 8.1. The monitor works fine. Unfortunately without sound I cannot go through the tutorials to learn more about how to use Win 8.1.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank you so very much. I installed the driver for Win 8.1 but that apparently was not the problem. Please forgive me for being so dense. On control panel I kept seeing the problem as not having the speakers plugged in. The other day I unplugged to wire going to the computer and re-plugged it, but that did not work. This morning I unplugged the speaker wire from both ends - the computer as well as the monitor and replugged it. Surprise, I now have audio!!
What a relief as now I can go through the tutorials and learn how Win 8.1 works though I have already learned a lot by hit or miss.

Hi eslam-hussien,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

IPhone5 rear-facing camera and flashlight not working after iOs 7.0.3 update

This is my first time posting here so do forgive me if I leave anything out.
Problem 1
I updated my iPhone 5 to iOs 7.0.3 (on 10/22 when it released). Since then, my rear-facing camera has stopped working. When I open up the camera, it's just a black screen and I cannot take a picture or video, but the other elements on the screen are still functional: changing flash from auto/on/off, turning HDR on/off, switching from video/photo/square/pano, but still the screen remains black. When I switch to the front-facing camera though, it works fine. I can take pictures and video through that view.
Problem 2
The second problem that's happened as well is the flashlight in the control center is greyed out, can't click it at all.
Attempt to Fix
I brought my iPhone 5 to a Genius Bar. Guy took it to the back to open it up and check if there were any physical problems with the phone and camera. He came back, found nothing. Unfortunately my phone was no longer under the one-year warranty, so in order to fully replace the phone with a new or refurbished one, I would've had to dish out $200 something and I wasn't trying to do that just yet. So we decided to just wipe it clean and restore. After we did that, everything was working, the rear-facing camera, the flashlight, things were perfect. I left the Apple store, got on the train to head home. I opened up the camera to take a picture and long behold, it stopped working again. I got home and did the exact same thing the guy did, wiped my phone and restored. Everything was working again. I held my breath though... 1/2 hour later, same problems with the rear-facing camera and flashlight came back.
Just as a note, not sure if it helps, when I use third-party camera apps/photo editors, when I try to use the camera within those apps, it freezes and closes.
I don't know what else to do. It seems the only fix is restoring my phone and having the camera and flashlight work for a few minutes only to go back to the same problems. The Genius Bar didn't help. I'm not trying to give up $200 something when this is something that happened clearly because of the iOs 7.0.3 update. It was working perfectly fine before that.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

WORKAROUND FOUND ! Download and install "Awesome Camera" app and take a picture with that app. After 1-2 seconds of standby, it will work. Then you can go back to default Camera app which would work again.Please let me know

Earpiece,speakers and microphone is not working du...

Plzz help me...i bought my Lumia 630 4 days ago. .All things are going fine but today during a call I cannot hear any voice with earpiece,headphones or speakers...And another person too is not able to hear any voice...

You may try to press and hold the power and volume down buttons for about 10-15 seconds until the phone vibrates. Release the buttons and the phone will restart properly. Once done, you may have to reset the time by going to Settings > date+time. If the “Set automatically” option is on, turn it off and set the correct time, date and your current time zone. Tap on back to save the changes. Do let us know of the outcome.

7.1 Speakers with iTunes 7 not working

With my old iTunes, my speakers worked fine. However as soon as I upgraded, the only speakers that work are 2.1. The other 5 of my speakers do not produce any sound. I've done a search and nothing has been productive so far.
Anyone know a fix or why it does this?

I was ****** too and came here for an answer and saw your post, did some research and found this procedure.
Go to Start....then Run...and type in DxDiag...
From there, go to "Sound"...on the Direct Sound or Direct X turn the acceleration down to basic....
It should work after that...
Then go to Ouicktime, Edit...Quicktime Preferences and set your surround to 5.1....
Should work

I've seen other posts about the sound problems for lion but after putting headphones in or speakers. my volume is not working for anything online.

my itunes music comes through the speakers but things on youtube or anything online doesnt work. i can hear my volume go up and down but as of sound for videos or chatting nothing comes out. ive had this macbook for about 5 weeks now. and i havent dropped it or anything. i just want to listen and i cant figure it out. plz help me someone.

Make an appointment at the Genius bar at the Apple store.
Ciao.

My speakers and earphones will not work. worked fine last time I used but not at all when I started

I used my dv6 6033d last night on Skype and it worked great. Today when I started my computer, I have no sound from internal speakers or the earphones. It dosn't show on mute. What can it be?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If none of the above resolves the issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

HT6154 rear camera on iphone 5 not working after ios 8 update why?

My iPhone 5 rear camera is no longer working after ios 8 update its just black I can see the flash choice the hdr and the timer but other than that it is a black screen

Hi there fjci2003,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
