5.1 sound system doesn't work


Recommended Posts

I have a 5.1 sound system (Fujitel 1200watts PMPO) (25Hz- 180Hz). My sound card is creative sound blaster live!

I have connected all in the correct places. Also changed my audio configuration (in the creative audioHQ) to 5.1.

Now what can I do?

in my audigy Z2s i have a THX-console

See if you have one, open it if found.

See if analog output is checked.

This caused me some trouble too, the first time i configged that thing..

I made it work. I just needed to press the input button in its remote control.

Now i have another problem. The center speaker doesn't work. For example, in a game, i can't hear what a guy is saying, if he is in front of me, just the mummbling coming from the subwoofer, the same happens with the test software.I don't know if this is a software problem or hardware problem. If is the second, probably is a wrong connection inside the subwoofer not the speaker.

check the speaker if its connected correctly

Then see the speaker settings for bass settings..

maybe the setting for sound clearance (or something like it..)

just walk through the settings and play alittle around ;)

I have some options in my speaker setting (default software of the Live! 5.1). Is the same program where I test the speakers:

- Center speaker volume (at maximum)

- Subwoofer volume (at maximum)

- Bass redirection (I don't know what is it), when I check this, "crossover frequency" regulation control is available. (is unchecked, I can't notice a diference)

- AC-3 decode, (I don't know what is it) (checked)

The default software is called Creative AudioHQ, which consist in smaller programs, such as creative EAX settings, Speaker setting, Sound fonts, and a piano useless thing.

With the EAX setting I can select the effects, and with the speaker settings, the configuration of the speakers volume of bass, center,  etc.

ok, than we have the same software ;)

check the thx setup console

make sure you have the appropriate speakerselection (5.1 speaker)..

check you have the analog output

and maybe you should take your time for the speaker calibiration wizard.

that should do the trick...

The creative diagnostics software says that I don't have any problem.

No matter which cables do I use, the center speaker never works(digitally speaking, because physically the 5.1 system is ok).

heres is a photo of what this program looks.
