EnVy1049 Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted January 3, 2002 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2002 Windows XP will automatically default your soundcard drivers to 2 channel. What you need to do is completely reinstall the soundblaster drivers FROM THE CD ROM, then install the XP update from www.soundblaster.com. You must do both. ------------------ Amy ProMedia Tech Support promediatech@klipsch.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriel11 Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 I have the 4.1's (new at Christmas) run Win 98se and have an Audigy gamer, and my speakers are reset to 2 channel everytime I turn my system back on. In Control Panel>>>>>Multimedia I have Surround chosen as the speaker setup I use, but every time I start up again back to 2 channels in the Audigy Mixer it goes, but not in Multlmedia in Control Panel. Kinda weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnVy1049 Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
