Hey guys, need some help in my speaker setup issue here.
I'm using a Logitech Z5500 5.1 speaker system, and i just changed my mobo and proc/ram/gc/etc. I'm also using a separate sound card (Auzentech X-Fi Prelude), i did not reformat and/or reinstall my OS (Vista Business x64).
The issue i'm facing right now is that after installing my mobo, i can't seem to get my Left Rear (LR) and Right Rear (RR) speakers to work properly when i set my setup as 5.1 from Windows audio configuration. But when i set it to 7.1 both the LR and RR worked as side speakers instead, which is not what i really want. I can't seem to get it work in 5.1 mode.
The other issue i'm experiencing is that now my speakers aren't as loud as before, where before (old mobo) after adjusting volume to just 3-4 bars i could get my whole room to shake, but now it takes 5-6 bars or more
These are steps i've taken to resolve this issue but failed:
1. Making sure cable connections are correct
2. Tweak Windows Audio settings (sound card, speaker configuration etc.)
3. Downloaded latest drivers from sound card manufacturer.
4. Tweaked the Volume Control Panel software provided by my Sound Card.
5. Disabled on board sound.
6. Opened support ticket at SC manufacturer website
7. Searched tirelessly on google
Note that there's no Audio Enhancement settings that i can tweak other than to disable/enable it.
Could this be because of driver clash from installing my old mobo? since i just clicked on "install all default drivers" when installing the mobo.
Can any expert help?
Thanks in advance!
