Procyon Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 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?

erjin999 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices (Classic View) then click the Advanced button at the bottom. Does it show 5.1 also ?If not correct it, if it does then you are not alone when you say you don't understand why it isn't working :).

gryphon Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 check if your audio isn't muted, just has low volume settings and that you use the correct device for audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Does sound work at all ? Is it just the extra bits that dont work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 The real problem is that the maximum level of audio that comes from the sound system is too low.All the sound levels in windows are at maximum, same with the system.

erjin999 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 And this doesnt happen with 2 speakers ? As in it is unique to the 5.1 ?Its not going to be something silly like the power not plugged in ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 I had a 2.1, nothing wrong happened with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procyon Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 check the speaker if its connected correctlyThen 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostHunter Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I had the Live! 5.1 and couldn't ever get my center speaker on my 5.1 to work - no driver, firmware, etc. ever fixed it either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 that default software is that the Creative EAX settings and that kind of software?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procyon Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 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.
