Having got a lovely surround system for christmas I was slightly
dissapointed
to discover that sound would not come out my two rear speakers, but
would out
my front 3 and sub. I realise the information is extremely vague, but
is this
a known issue and if not, is there a remedy?
For those interested, I'm using s Soundblaster Live! 5.1 Digital and a set of Logitech Z-640 speakers.
I just remembered something. There's a mixer control called "SB Live
Analog/Digital Output Jack". I think this switches the little black
connector (rear output) between analog and digital. Try setting this
to "Off" in alsamixer and making sure that the "Wave Surround" control
is turned up. You may also have to hit the little "Matrix" button on
the front control panel of the Z-640, I'm not sure.
Thanks, the "SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack" option would not move up or
down, but not did not have "[Off]" next to it like the other items whihc
wouldn't.
No, it *needs* to have [Off] next to it. You have to hit the 'M' key to switch it on or off. If it doesn't have [Off] next to it, that means it's trying to spit out digital audio instead of analog. It's kind of a confusing label, since it doesn't really tell you what [Off] means. It took me a while to figure out what it did. :-)
