What drivers are you using?

Calumetbud · Jan 1, 2004, 05:06 PM

Nividia

Necrosis · Jan 1, 2004, 06:21 PM

When you see two speakers do you mean a 2.1 setup or just two speakers?

Calumetbud · Jan 2, 2004, 12:39 AM

I have the 5.1 setup,but only get sound from the front 2 speakers.

Necrosis · Jan 2, 2004, 12:45 AM

Where do you have the speakers connected...and is the sound muffled from your rear speakers?

Calumetbud · Jan 2, 2004, 12:58 AM

only getting music playback from the front 2 speakers,my games also have a hess sound wen i play them subwofer is working also.Its like i dont have 5.1 enabled somewhere

It's been along time since I've messed with the onboard sound with this motherboard. So I can't exactly remember what you have to check in the Sound Storm control panel. BTW, how long have you had this setup & have you always had this problem?

P.S. Which drivers are you using?

Calumetbud · Jan 2, 2004, 01:13 AM

the only control panel i have is th ewindows default. using the nividia driver. Its a new system still getting all the bugs out and everything to work right

Necrosis · Jan 2, 2004, 01:22 AM

Ah alright now I know what is wrong. Did you use the Asus drivers? Reason I ask is in the past you had to use Asus's drivers because they were specially modified because their Sound Storm setup is different then most nforce2 boards. Go here and download the nforce2 drivers.

Calumetbud · Jan 2, 2004, 01:28 AM

ok i will try them and see what happens thx for ur help and patience,I have the A7N8X ultra 400 mobo

Calumetbud · Jan 2, 2004, 01:47 AM

Necrosis · Jan 2, 2004, 04:11 AM

Rear/Surround Violet/Purple
Front Green/Lime
Center/Sub Orange

Calumetbud · Jan 2, 2004, 04:16 AM

Calumetbud · Jan 2, 2004, 05:18 AM

Necrosis · Jan 2, 2004, 05:57 AM

It should be installed when you install the nforce drivers.

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jan 2, 2004, 05:57 AM

your not set up right most likely try this man....

goto contol panel, Sounds and Audio Devices,on the volume tab look down @ speaker settings,click advaced, make sure to choose 5.1 speakers ...

Calumetbud · Jan 2, 2004, 11:03 AM

yes I'm setup right..I think I will go out and get a santa cruz or a qudigy 2 gamer and be done with it..thx for the reply

Necrosis · Jan 3, 2004, 11:45 PM

I have a few questions..I think the problem is hard to pin-point because there might be some mincommunication here.

1. Have you installed the latest version of DirectX
2. Do you "never" get any rear sound, music & games?
3. What media player are you using for music?
4. Where did you get this board from? I see it's one of the earlier revs. if you bought it off someone did you ask them about the rear sound problem?
5. Did you check in the bios and make sure all the onboard sound options are enabled?
6. Have you tried the channel swap utility from Asus?
