Im having a issue in Vista with my Z-5500 speaker setup. I did some research and I guess this a common problem. The problem is that not all of my speakers output sound. The two rear speakers, center and sub work fine. The problem is that I get no output from the two front speakers, nothing at all. I used the Sound Manager test option (in vista sound options) and all speakers output sound besides the two front.
I have checked over all my connections and know for a fact that is not the problem. The Z-5500 has a test feature to test the speakers built into the control. When I hit test I get audio from all speakers including the two front speakers that do not output and sound during the Windows Sound Manager test. I tried MP3 playback and get no sound from the two front speakers....
I am using a onboard sound card, Realtek Ac'97 that came with my motherboard (DFI Ultra-D). Now as far as settings go, I have 5.1 setup in the Windows Sound Manager and 6 channel setting is the Realtek Sound Manager. On the Logitech Control Panel I have the direct input as 6 Channel as well. I have the latest Vista driver loaded as well, any suggestions or fixes?
