Ryan314 Posted July 2, 2007 CID Share Posted July 2, 2007 Alright well the speakers are on my computer, the settings are set to 5.1 surround sound in control panel and in the creative settings section, yet when I play music in Windows Media Player or Limewire it comes out the front two speakers only. Yet when I test the sound in the creative software it plays a voice throughout each of the speakers. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted July 2, 2007 CID Share Posted July 2, 2007 Silly question , are they muted by any chance ? Are there settings in each player that controls multichannel output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted July 2, 2007 Author CID Share Posted July 2, 2007 Silly question , are they muted by any chance ? Are there settings in each player that controls multichannel output? I havent found settings in WMP or LIMEWIRE and no they arent muted considering sound is coming from only two of em, and if they were muted, none would play.

dlewis23 Posted July 2, 2007 CID Share Posted July 2, 2007 what kind of soundcard do you have? I know what the problem is, but i can't remember what your sound card was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted July 2, 2007 CID Share Posted July 2, 2007 Music, unless DVD-Audio is not recorded in 5.1.. If you watch a movie do you get 5.1 sound? What you are looking for is audio out all the channels.. which should be a setting in your sounds card properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted July 2, 2007 Author CID Share Posted July 2, 2007 I have a creative sound blaster, and the speakers are working now. For some reason my settings in the creative software had some special effects activated which were causing sound to only come from two speakers. Thanks for the help everyone.
