5.1 surround Sound speaker system does not work in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit edition

My problem is about the same as other users who cannot get their surround sound speaker system to work properly in Windows 7.

I have a subwoofer and 5 speakers (2 front, 2 rear, 1 for the centre).  Connection to the RealTek HD Audio embedded is simple, orange for the subwoofer, green for the front and black for the rear.

Test the sound in Control Panel-> windows sound produces a sound on all channels and RealTek HD Audio Manager at the same time, which is the desired configuration.

However, different applications use different channels.  IE and Firefox use the front channels, VLC/MediaPlayer uses the back.  3D games (that is to say WoW) through all channels.  In each case the subwoofer does not work.

I tried to download the latest drivers on the motherboard (Gigabyte) manufacturers site.  I even tried the supplied RealTek drivers (even if on the Web from RealTek site which is NOT recommended).  I tried to connect the connectors of the subwoofer to the different takes (reversed black and green).

I have experimented with the settings in RealTek HD Audio Manager and control panel-> windows Sound.  Nothing works.

These exact same subwoofer and speakers worked perfectly well on Windows XP.

I have 2 questions:

one) has anyone resolved their 5.1 & Windows 7 problem something that I have not yet tried?

(b) when will Microsoft take this issue seriously?  All Microsoft provided answers just repeat what everyone

has already tried.

First disconnect the cable 3 (orange, green and black) then click on Control Panel configuration-hardware and sound - Real tek HD audio manager - central tick, subwoofer and rear pair, front left and right and filling of speaker

Then click on advance device settings.

Select "perform front and reading of output devices back two different audio streams simultaneously" and give ok

Plug all three pins one by one and select the appropriate option in the popup windows.

That's all.

You give enough information for me to get this working.   My system runs Win 7 X 64 Home Premium.   When I select 5.1 sound capacity side my 550 x Logitech speakers are not recognized.  If I select 7.1, which is the capacity of my chip Realtek chipset, I can get the two outside are activated as a "rear" speakers and can push the test tones to each of the four surrounding speakers and the combination of Center/bass via the Realtek driver.

Regarding the "front and reading of output devices back two different audio streams at the same time" worries... I can't find this option.  There are at least two suppliers of 'control of the interfaces' assets on my system.  One is provided by RealTek, the other by Microsoft.  The access roads to these interfaces is roundabout and confusing, to say the least.

Some compromises are in order in my humble OPINION.  I have my Pandora one stream play in an acceptable way in my small study.  Many of the source of sounds streamed to me are recorded in stereo or mono, I find myself hitting the 'matrix' on my Logitech X 550 button quite frequently.  Sometimes a more recent piece is delivered which actually looks Ok without the decoder "matrix".

What I would really like to be able to do is to "reconfigure on the fly" between the built in speakers on my Acer Z3731 system USB bar ' All in One ' and my external Logitech X 550 popular with the ability for the presentation of "5.1 surround sound" through three sons.  When I try your procedure, I don't get separate recognition of each thread, as it is trendy and often end up with its 2.1 being eliminated in my 5.1 speakers, because somehow Microsoft has re-recognized the built-in USB port based his bar instead of the three rear wires plugged into the outlets provided by the manufacturer of the system.

If there was ever separate 'Speakers' and 'Realtek' icons in the UI on my system, speakers are long gone and I can't get back them.  All I see is the Realtek driver.  I would like to see the two icons 'Speakers' different, I could mark "integrated 2.1" and "5.1 external '", in addition to the driver Realtek.»  How can I get these to reappear?

Can anyone suggest a way to have two different sets of "speakers" recognized and identified in the Microsoft UI in addition to the Realtek driver?  If I could get because of this, I think that the driver would let me 'set as default' one or the other speaker set, and I 'software switching' capable of letting me choose the external speakers or integrated sound bar offers the sound.

  • USB Flash drive does not work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I have several USB thumb drives, some of them do not work when I plug them in while others work very well. By experimenting, I reduced the problem with the 64-bit Version Windows. All of these USB keys works well in my other computers that have 32-bit installed and also even computer with the 32-bit version installed on different hard drive. All of these thumdrives are detected immediately and works without a problem. The 64-bit version, I have uninstalles and reinstalled readers, drivers updated for readers and controllers USB chipset, reasigning letter drive without a resolution of the problem.

    It is interesting to know that this problem only occurs with some discs that I (like Ativa 4 GB, 4 GB generic and Verbatim 4 GB). While I discovered that you can do all the nonworking day thumdrives work once if you shutdown computer and plug the thumdrive into the USB port and the computer to boot, boot time is longer than usual and when it is operational in 30 to 45 seconds drive appears in the list of devices and you can read, write and format normally without any problem to experiment. When you pull chase him and reconnect to USB port after 10 seconds same problem appears aggai. First of all, you get the message that the disk must be formatted and if you try to format you will get a message that windows cannot format the drive. If you try to access the drive, you get message that Drive is not accessible. If I take this player and plug it from 32-bit without problem, you see all the files in the drive and are able to read the writing and the format is normally.

    I'd appreciate if I am able to get an answer as a way to solve the problem.

    When you disconnected the battery of the laptop, you did, be sure to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds?  This causes the rest of completely discharge power.
