rear speakers doesnt work

Kudykam · Jan 8, 2006, 11:24 PM

Hi,
I have Logitech Z-5500 and YoupPaX - Fi 2.31. Everythings works fine until today. I dont know why, but my rear speakers doesnt play any sound in 5.1 movie or game when I have set 6 ch Direct effect on my repro. For example, NFS Most wanted sound only from front and center speaker. I tried uninstall driver and software, all codecs and no succes. In 2x stereo, PLII Movie and PLII Movie Music effect, rear speakers play, but its same as from front speakers, it is not surround 5.1. Can anybody help me pleas?

GO to creative speaker settings and make sure your speakers are set to 5.1, not 2.1 You can also check out the creative audio console for that.

did you run drivercleaner to remove the existing drivers first?

Kudykam · Jan 9, 2006, 10:52 AM

Yes I have set 5.1 in Creative Console.

Yes I have used driver cleaner before reinstall.

Can I connect My Logitech z5500 and Audigy 2 with digital coaxial cable?? For example Profigold PGD 481??? Is it better then analog?

Well, you can but it would be even worse in terms of getting sounds from your surround speakers. Creative cards only send out a PCM stereo or a DD/DTS encoded data signal from the digital outputs. I e you will only get plain stereo from everything except DVDs encoded in DD or DTS.
