X-Fi Speaker configuration - can't get 5.1 work

Using a Soundblaster X-Fi Elite Pro and Logitech Z-5500 speakers.
I'm starting to lose my patience with the crappy drivers. No matter what I do, I can't get the speakers to work in 5.. I can get a pseudo-surround effect by enabling CMSS, but it isn't proper surround.
My biggest problem lies with the speaker setup console, where I test the speakers.
With CMSS set to "Stereo XPand", then using the speaker setup utility to test:
Click on centre, sound is ok.
Click on front right or front left, and the sound also comes from the centre, but it's very soft.
Click on rear-left, sound comes from front left and barely audible on rear left.
Click on rear-right, sound comes from front right and barely audible on rear right.
With CMSS set to "Stereo Surround":
Centre plays on all channels.
Front left plays on front left and rear left.
Front right plays on front right and rear right.
Clicking on rear right and rear left play on fronts, as above.
With CMSS disabled:
All sound gets played on front left and front right - centre and surround speakers don't work.
I've re-installed my drivers three times now, and I've played with all the settings in the audio-creation console.
I have set the driver to play through 5. speakers, so don't suggest that I change that
What else can I do?

Sure, CMSS is a great feature for stereo content to be played on a multi-speaker system, but you guys are missing the point.
I have 5. sources here that are not working properly. My DVDs don't have sound on the centre channel or rear channels. CMSS might fix this, sure, but why should I need to upmix a 5. channel?
Moreover, when I click on the rear left speaker, and the lady says "LEFT SURROUND" I sure as hell want sound coming out of my REAR LEFT speaker. I don't see a little popup box that goes "Oh hey, the sound is coming from the wrong speaker but that is normal."
I have games and movies that output in true 5.. I have a sound system that is capable of true 5.. My PS2 will happily play my DVDs in 5., and I can use the THX tests on some of my DVDs, playing on my PS2, to hear sound coming from each speaker, individually.
My $250 sound card can only pretend to do it right. What gives, Creative?
How difficult is it to just write a sound driver that outputs the six discrete channels via the analogue outputs?

    Hi there Graham!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
    Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • Can't get VPN to work on RV220W

    I am a home office user who bought a RV220W router for the speed advertised on smallnetbuilder.  I am trying to set up the VPN but can't get it to work with the Quick VPN client.  I am using dyndns to manage the dynamic IP and have entered that into the setup noted below.  I can access the router remotely (remote administration) when enabled using the dyndns address so I know that is working.

    Any help in identifying what setup component I have configured incorrectly would be appreciated
    Thanks

    I am not sure this will help but make sure the following is set correctly:
    Currently VPN is somewhat broken on all versions of firmware of the RV220W including beta where VPN will ONLY negotiate on 443. If you are port forwarding 443 to a server or something else it will fail. You must allow the VPN to authenticate on 443. The router SHOULD be able to connect on 60443 as indicated on the QUICKVPN software however it doesn't this has been confirmed by a CISCO engineeer I have been speaking with regarding my VPN woes. Currently there is NO ETA on this fix.
    But since you didn't mention if your 443 ports were being routed elsewhere I figured i would lay out that information here incase you where. Also I strongly recommend contacting Cisco Support for the beta firmware it makes the RV220W much better.
    Also the reason for the update to the beta firmware it resolves the hair pinning problem which could also lead to VPN issues.

  • Can't get 5.1 working on Audigy 2

    Hi all
    I've recently gotten myself an improved Graphics card that allows me to watch hi-def MKV files via Media Player Classic Homecinema. I can't get the surround sound working on them though. I've had a Creative Audigy 2 card for years linked up to an Inspire 6.1 system. I've gotta be honest though, I've always just had the CMSS 3D option activated so, although all the speakers have always worked, it's never been true surround sound. How on earth do I configure everything to get it all working correctly? Is it maybe the Media Player software that's at fault?
    Can anyone help...

    brianlong,
    The link is correct to link you to the main Knowledgebase page. You will need to type in 'SID4858' in the Search by Keyword section. If you are unable to access the link, the Knowledgebase is also located at the 'Support' section at the top of the drop-down menu.
    Or type in 'front' as the keyword and look under 'Speaker test only outputs from two front speakers' listing.

  • The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that  wifi network

    The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on my school wifi. I have an iPhone 4S on AT&T and iOS 7.04

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • Cisco 1812 wireles setup, can't get it to work

    Hello everyone,
    I've read trough the "871 wireless setup" topic, which I found very helpful, but I still can't get my wireless working. Basically I have a Cisco 1812W and I would like both wireless and wired to be on the same subnet. We aren't using DHCP, so the IP's are all static (even for the wireless clients). I can connect to my wireless SSID, but ping doesn't go trough either way. Wired connections are working fine. So the wireless client is connected, but has no IP address as far as the router goes (show Dot11 associations shows it's IP as 0.0.0.0) , but the wireless client does have an IP set up.
    I guess I'm overlooking something in my config, so here it is (i took out the firewall rules and aaa setup, they aren't relevant if i'm not mistaken and there's a limit to post size):

    Okay, I've somewhat figured it out. Apparently my WPA-PSK configuration doesn't work with the integrated Broadcom adapter found in the laptop I was testing it with.
    Either that or my WPA-PSK configuration is broken.
    I switched over to an open network with no encrpytion and everything works now.

  • [SOLVED] I can't get virtual hosts working. What's wrong?

    What I've decided to do is try to set up each domain name in the user folder to whom it belongs (for example: /home/username/somedomain.com/htdocs). I can't get it to work though. I keep getting an error saying that there's no index file (although there is) or that the location isn't readable (although it is). I'm trying to make it so that if the domain name matches with a virtual host section in httpd-vhosts.conf that a specific DocumentRoot will be loaded for that domain, etc. But, if the domain name points to my server but doesn't match, then I want the default location to work. I can't seem to make this work.
    This is my http.conf:

    </VirtualHost>
    So, for example, I want it to be so that if I visit http://45.117.5.40 that it'll show the stuff ftom /srv/http/default/htdocs but if the domain name matches somedomain.com then I want the server to show the content from /home/normaluser/somedomain.com/htdocs.
    What currently happens is that if I visit http://45.117.5.40 or somedomain.com, they both show the same content from /srv/http/default/htdocs.
    If I comment out the first VirtualHost section, then everything stops working and I see the default "Access forbidden!" message.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I fixed it. In case any newbs come across this, I had to add a new <Directory> section for the DocumentRoot of the virtual host. Simply adding the VirtualHost entry in the vhosts file isn't enough.
    For example, for the "somedomain.com" vhost in the example above to work, I added this to http.conf:
    #This must match with the same location as DocumentRoot in httpd-vhost.conf.
    <Directory "/home/normaluser/somedomain.com/htdocs">
    #Put whatever directives you want in here
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    Let me know if you need any clarification.

  • I purchase the Forms plus,  bywidgets.mu, and can't get it to work.  any help?

    I purchase the Forms + bywidgets.mu
    I've followed the directions on the weblink (https://widgets.mu/se/FormsPlus/demo/)
    and still can't get anything to work.
    I just keep getting <> inside a box and that's it.
    Help please!

    Hi Lisa,
    Do you have a URL where I can take a look at the issue? It may be a configuration issue or it may be a bug so I just want to check and make sure.
    In terms of the radio buttons one, I just published up update to the Forms+ Widget this morning that includes a new way to do grouping for radio buttons. Creative Cloud should download the updated version of the .mulib file into your downloads folder (and it should now be called something like FormsPlus Bundle.mulib), and you can double click that to add the updated widgets to your Muse library. The one I'm referring to in particular is called the "Radio Group (Box Selection)" widget. Basically, when you drag the widget out onto the page, it shows a dotted line box and you simply drag and resize the box around the radio items you'd like to group together. The box itself won't be exported so you don't have to worry about that, but it will allow you to visually group them instead of doing so with labels.
    Let me know if you have any trouble getting the new update or using the box selection widget and I'd be happy to help further.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • Can't get netcfg2 to work

    hey guys, I can't get netcfg2 to work on my machine... really annoying upgrade check this:
    [network.d]% diff examples/wpa.example home
    1,2c1,2
    < CONNECTION="wireless"
    < INTERFACE=wlan0
    > CONNECTION="home"
    > INTERFACE=eth1

    < ESSID="mynetwork"
    < KEY="SomePasskey"
    > ESSID="Lebowski"
    > KEY="foobar"
    [network.d]% sudo netcfg2 home
    > home is not a valid connection, check spelling or look at examples
    Any ideas? Also, why do I have to specify CONNECTION="foo"? the filename is enough to get the name, no?

    I can't get work netcfg2...
    if I run
    iwconfig wlan0 essid SpeedTouch5F3851 enc open s:LesPiTTareL
    it works great, I can connect to my wireless network but...
    if I configure my /etc/network.d/celadina in this way:
    CONNECTION="wireless"
    DESCRIPTION="Connessione wireless casa Bergamo"
    INTERFACE=wlan0

    GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
    and running
    netcfg2 celadina
    I get this error message
    :: celadina up - Could not set wireless configuration [FAIL]
    [root@Arials skioppetto]# "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
    I think the error is in SECURITY but I can0t find a solution... I've tried also with IWOPTS and if I don't
    define SECURITY it doesn't give any errors but it can't connect becouse key remains off
    I use rt61 wireless module; when I connect trough the first way I don't get any wep modules loaded even if it works...
    I think the problem could be the kernel module.
    What do you think about?

  • Can't get X to work properly (ATI AIW 9800)

    Hello,
    I have a few problems. My first problem is this. The dpi was messed up when i first install, so i thought no big deal, I'll just go and configure the defaultserverargs setting in the startx script to "-dpi 75". This does not seem to work. Secondly,I can't get gnome to work as my default window manager. I put this line in my .xinitrc file in my home directory:
    exec gnome-session
    I also tried this:
    exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
    My last problem is that when i try to install the ati fglrx drivers with the stock kernel arch package but whenever the fglrx module is called, it says that the module doesn't exist. One thing i might mension which might be of importance is that i compiled a custom kernel during install without SMP and preemtivity so i could use my rt2500 wireless card. Thanks in advance for the help
    cheers,
    -Lukas

    sinisterguy:  You're going to need to build your own kernel module, afaik you can't just symlink a module built for another kernel and expect it to work.
    As root, run
    abs
    Once that's done (it'll check out a bunch of stuff from cvs), change to your normal user and either make a directory for the new package, or cd to some temp directory, then:
    cp /var/abs/extra/modules/ati-drivers-arch/* .
    vim PKGBUILD
    then make the following changes:
    pkgname=ati-drivers-arch
    to
    pkgname=ati-drivers-custom
    (or whatever you want to call the package)
    depends=('ati-drivers' 'kernel26')
    to
    depends=('ati-drivers')
    source=(https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
    to
    source=(http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-$pkgver-1.i386.rpm fireglcontrol.desktop)
    (for some reason I can never get the source from the https address through makepkg.)
    and
    _kernel=2.6.15-ARCH
    to
    _kernel=`uname -r`
    Save and quit, then run
    makepkg
    - this'll make you a brand new kernel module package that you can install with
    pacman -A ati-drivers-custom-8.22.5-2.pkg.tar.gz
    You'll need to update this package every update to the ati-drivers in the same way you originally built it.
    If you need more information, ABS is a good place to look, as well as man makepkg.

  • I have an airport extreme attached to cable, then one airport express to extend the range. when i try to add an additional airport express to extend range in another area of house, can't get it to work. unility says it has found a new base station

    i have an airport extreme attached to cable, then one airport express to extend the range. when i try to add an additional airport express to extend range in another area of house, can't get it to work. utility says it has found a new base station and asks if i want to use it. if i click yes, then the old setup is disabled.

    Ok, thanks for clarifying which models you have. Please see the following Apple Support article on how to configure these older base stations for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).

  • Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for GarageBand. I downloaded a trial version of reMIDI, which enables MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated, but can't get it to work in Garageband.  How do I set it up?

    Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for Garageband ('08)? The program allows MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated. I have a trial version, but can't get it to work in Garageband. Wonder how to set it up.
    Thanks, Doctor Mark

    Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
    It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
    Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
    In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
    But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

  • Can't get mic to work on Acer TravelMate P

    Hello there Arch forum.
    @mod
    I'm not sure if this post is best placed in laptop/media or newbie corner, I have used Arch for 2 years now but I'm a noob on pulseaudio.
    Feel free to move it to the desired location.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to get my head set microphone to work in mumble on my Acer TravelMate P laptop.
    I have tried different things that was suggested on the PulseAuido Troubleshooting page.
    But I think its a problem with a hardware button that can mute the microphone located just beneath the screen.
    When press the button nothing happens..

    Re: Can't get Mic to work? I'm using the Steelseries Siberias headset, with a standalone Zalman mic. I never unplugged them, I only reformatted from a cracked verion of Windows 7, to a legit version of Windows 7. The versions were actually the exact same, and now I regreat Formatting.

  • ACE - Can not get it to work

    All,
    I am trying to configure simple load balancing to 4 servers on a ACE (ver 3.0.0A13B), but I can't get it to work.
    See config below. I have L3 vlan interfaces on my Cat6513 for vlan 22, 29 and 121.
    Can anyone spot the issue?

    > I have L3 vlan interfaces on my Cat6513 for vlan 22, 29 and 121.
    That is your problem first of all.
    If i get it right from your config.
    VLAN 121 is your transfer network / or client side vlan
    VLAN 22 and VLAN 29 are Server VLANS?
    What you should keep in mind is that you define the server side vlans only on the ACE contexts with L3. You don't define them on the supervisor.
    If you use the ACE in routed mode you have to assign networks exclusive to the ace like routing networks to a layer 3 device in your network. If you use those vlans (22,29) on other parts of your net you should subnet them or take another network.
    Your setup should look like this.
    6513
    L3 ~ VLAN 121
    L2 ~ VLAN 22,29,121
    ACE Module
    L3 ~ VLAN 22,29,121
    You assign the 3 vlans or any other to a vlan group and assign this group to the ace module.
    Create a new context -> assign the vlan 22,29 and 121 to this context.
    6513(L3) <-- vlan 121 --> ACE (L3) /Admin Context
    6513(L3) <-- vlan 121 --> ACE(L3) / Server Context --> VLAN 22,29
    ACE Admin Context (VLAN121)
    ACE Server Context (VLAN 121,22,29)
    After you have a working L2/L3 setup start troubleshooting the ace config itself. :)
    Hope it helps
