Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 + Windows 7 x64

Nardack · Oct 14, 2009, 07:29 PM

Hello everyone,
I just installed Windows 7 x 64 and downloaded Kx drivers, but I don´t know how, but I can´t set options right so my surround speaker doesn´t work properly. I registred in Kxproject Exchange system and tried to download some settings from there, but without succes.

Theese informations are from my profile on Kx project...

Driver Version:
51003548
Driver Name:
5.10.00.3548 - debug
Soundcard:
SB0102 10k1 [8000]

Could somebody help me to find some resolution??

Thanks for responds.

That is the default setting, so really there is no need to post it (just say it is the default).

In the DSP, right click and choose "Add Effect/Plugin" -> "Basic" -> "Peak"

Connect the 3rd/4th pins of FxBus to the Peak plugin you just loaded. Double click on the peak plugin to open the GUI, and see if you see a signal there when playing audio.
If you do not see a signal from the 3rd/4th pins, try the 5th/6th pins, and then the 7th/8th pins.

Once you find the signal, disconnect (right click on pin and choose disconnect) the 2 pins (where you found the signal), and connect them to the top 2 pins of xrouting.

BTW: Also make sure that Surrounder+ is configured for 5.1 with Surround On.

Nice!

Thanks!
I had to switch Device for playing in Win options, but i found those "active" pins and connect them as you said. The Surrounder is setted to the 5.1 ON. How can i now test, if surroun sound works ok?

As I said in the other thread, that config is only for upmixing stereo to 5.1... to test, just play a mp3 or something.

For surround sound from multichannel sources, you would use the default config (with Master Mixer set as the default device). I am not sure what is supported in Windows 7 (I have Windows XP (which does not have this issue)), so I am not sure what you can use to test it (maybe a mutlichannel wav file (using Windows Media Player) like the 6_Channel_ID.wav file here).

So, the surround doesn´t work very well, but it doesn´t matter.
I have bigger problem. After your advice, how to make 5.1 work the spekers started making a strange sound on the background of songs, i dont know how to make it disappear

Don´t you know what makes this trouble??

PS: It makes mostly in Media player
