Hey guys,
I have a problem with my 5.1 that's been driving me insane for weeks. I've searched and searched the internet and can't seem to find a solution.
The short version is that I'm currently using a Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker setup with Windows 7 Pro driven through the on board soundcard of an Asus P8Z68 VLX motherboard. The PC is connected to the speakers via 6-Channel Analogue (Red, Green Orange connectors). All of this is then managed through the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
The problem I'm having is that I can't get the Center speaker AND the Subwoofer to work. I can use the Realtek HD Audio Manager to swap between them using the "Swap Center / Subwoofer output" option, but I can't find any scenario that gets them both working.
What's even more bizarre (and slightly disconcerting) is that I can only get the two rear speakers and center and/or subwoofer to be recognized if I UNCHECK them in the Optional Speakers section of the Realtek and/or Windows speaker settings dialogue. This results in the very weird situation that a sound test on those speakers only works if they're greyed out. It's odd and feels wrong.
Does anyone have hints or tips that can help me figure this out? It's driving me insane. frown
