Hi,
I have a problem with the audio on my GA-X38-DS4.
OS: XP SP2
I connect to my decoder/amp using the optical s/pdif connector on the motherboard.
I have the latest drivers installed, including the microsoft UAA HD audio driver.
The Azalia codec is enable in BIOS
From control panel/sounds/advanced, I have selected 5.1 speaker configuration.
Now.. the problem...
Using the realtek audio manager I can click on image of the individual speakers to test them.
Only front left and front right respond.
If I play a game with 5.1 support, I only hear front left and front right
BUT
dialog etc is quiet.
This suggests the FL and FR speakers are only reproducing their correct 5.1 output, but center, surround left and right, and LFE are not being reproduced.
ie, it is not simply reverting to stereo. It's as if the speakers mentioned have been disconnected.
I play a surround source from my older PC using digital or optical s/pdif and all speakers work correctly.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advacnce,
Jay
