m16si Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I just bought budget Sound system called X-540 from Logitech...I quickly plugged all the speakers and subwoofer.......Than i played one of my favourite movies Saving Private Ryan....But i can't get rear speakers to work and i also tried other dvd's...- Im 100% I correctly plugged my speakers and connected them to my PC....- I have on-board sound card that is more than enough to run my speakers (Gigabyte P35C-DS3R)Must i uninstall sound drivers and reinstall them ?Is it because i used to have 2.0 stereo speakers and windows still thinks it's 2.0 ?I tried to configure the system in realtek HD audio Manager but no success.. when i click the pictures to test the speakers i hear rear speakers in front ones....Must i install any Logitech software?Any Ideas ?thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 There's a LOT of factors:-if the movie you're playing actually has 5.1 sound (i.e. not a rip with stereo/mp3 sound)-the player you're using (PowerDVD, MPC, etc) -the actual codec the player is making use of (e.g. AC3Filter) and its configuration-some speakers/amps have settings for various listening modesetc.There is no easy answer to give here. You're going to have to toy around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Have you checked all the plugs are in their correct locations? You'll notice that there are 6 plugs, but only three cables for your speakers (FL/FR,RL/RR,Sub/Center). Check your motherboard manual for the correct plug configuration. Chances are you've swapped cables around since you're getting sound from rear, but nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 well just as you said, windows still thinks your in 2.0what OS are you using? go through the control panel then to sound and configure your speakers.btw, playing that movie on my klipsch promedia ultra 5.1 was unbelievable, especially the whole beach scene.

puntoMX Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 well just as you said, windows still thinks your in 2.0Indeed.Click that red speaker Icon and set it to the 5.1 speaker configuration if you didn´t do it already . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
