Winamp plays on front speakers only???
Hey this might help you, I have an Audigy and Creative Labs 5.1 surround
speakers. However I also use the 5.1 speakers on my laptop and all speakers work. What you need to do is buy a Y adapter. I have a really long one so I just plug one plug into my laptop then it splits behind my desk. Where it splits you plug it into the Green (Front) jack and also the black (Rear) jack. This allows all 4 speakres to run at once. To make the centre speaker work, you have to unplug the orange Sub/Centre speaker from the back of the sub woofer and it will automatically play the same audio out of the centre channel. This is a pain if you are using it for DVDs and such, but it works in my situation where I want all 5 speakers to work on my laptop. Lee "Colin Sewell" wrote in message ...

Still can't get the center channel to work at all with this configuration......... Works when I switch wires around to test but not when it is correctly hooked up???????????// I am beginning to think it is time to look at other sources for sound cards................. Will creative do anything if I warranty this which it is still under???????/ Should I just return it to the place of purchase and give them "what for?" VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The very definition of "stereo" means 2 channels, so why would you expect sound out of 3 or more channels when playing a stereo source? But anyway, you have to enable CMSS upmix in the Creative drivers to upmix 2 channel sound to 3, 4, or 5 channels. |
