From: Drew on
I have a question regarding sound on my win7 64 machine and I wanted to ask
here first. I have a 5.1 surround system on my computer that when or during
configuration I get the different tones through all 5 of my speakers,
however when playing music and or a dvd I only get the front 3 speakers
(left right and center as well as the sub). Now is this is probably a driver
problem but my motherboard
(Intel) D975XBX2 does not have windows 7 drivers for the onboard sound. I
used the built in drivers.
Any Ideas would as always be appreciated...

Drew,
I assume you have a 5.1 speaker configuration in control panel, right?
If so, what DVD playback software are you using?

Drew,
One more step forward.
When in "playback device", click on speakers and then on "configuration" (or
setup or however "configuración" is translated into English) which is the
lower button on the left.
Do you have 5.1 speakers there?
Just a hunch, have you chosen the 5.1 audio track of the DVD?

Yes to all Carlos and yet nothing and when I choose configuration for 5.1 I
get sound from all 5 individually as I should then when playing any music or
a dvd only the front end works as in front left, front right and center. I
would prefer to fix this but if necessary I could install a discreet card I
suppose.
