Looks like the amp is fried... Only the one channel works. Oh well... I guess I'll have to just go buy some 5.1s around Christmas time. I'd get them now, but I gotta save up for a motorcycle...

My bedroom's right under the roof of our house. I woke up yesterday morning to a huge blast of lightning, and then a high-pitched squeal from my v2-400s. Only one speaker seems to work decently now, and the wires are all fried except for one. I tried the other three sats on the good wire, but they appear to be fried, as I only get very quiet, mostly treble sound from them. The sub's fine. Does anybody have any ideas as to what I could try to do to revive my Pros? Right now I just have the one good speaker sitting in the middle of my desk on its side... I can survive like this for a while.

That didn't work. I tried 3 times. Well, is there a registry setting I could tweak instead? I've edited my registry several times over the years, so no worries about screwing anything up.

Whenever I boot up my computer, I only get any sound from the front 2 speakers. However, the rear speakers start working once I go into "Sound and Audio Devices" and go into either "Speaker Volumes" or "Advanced." I don't have to change any settings at all, I just go into the setting page, and the rear speakers magically start working. This only started happening when I got XP. I have an SBLiveMP3+ (the original), and the latest XP drivers from Creative.
