    rear speakers not working?

    Ok, so I have an Asus A7n8x deluxe. Nforce 2 chipset.

    I have a 5.1 analog speaker set.

    My motherboard/onboard sound only seems to support quad speakers. That's fine.

    I previously had it set up to be in quad mode, which gave L & R stereo front (the center channel is a matrix of those), and the rear L & R were just clones of what the fronts did.

    I recently updated my Nforce chipset drivers. It's still set in quad mode, volume all the way up on all of them, but I can't seem to get anything more than a feint whisper out of the rear speakers. Any ideas?

          I've had difficulty getting more than four speakers on this chipset. I have a Cambridge SoundWorks DTT3500 5.1 set but I am only using it in stereo at the moment.

          When I moved I only bothered to connect just the two speakers.
          Which drivers are you using?

              Well, it claims I have DX 9d. (WTF? does that exsist), Mixer version 1.0, audio driver v 4.42

              Basically whatever the newest version was a week ago.

                  cool. I visited the Asus site but they have old nforce2 drivers there. I had 3.3 installed on my system, but according the the nVidia website, there is a version 5.x out.

                  I'm at work now so I can't be more specific, but i will install them tonight.

                      I don't remember which drivers I'm using on my a7n8x-e (but I think they were from nVidia's website a couple of months ago). I didn't have a problem with speaker configuration on this release, but I do recall that earlier versions needed you to run the speaker setup wizard to get it configured correctly; just making the settings manually would mess up the rear speakers and the centre speaker. (I'm using Creative 5.1 4400's iirc).

                      HTH.

                          My speakers have always been a PITA to get working thought the SPDIF. I'll try with the new drivers tonight. Gives me an excuse to get the drill out and mount them babies

                              I ran through the wizard, but no luck.

                                  Still no dice. Best I can do in winamp is have the rear speakers driven IF I enable silly effects in the nvidia options.
