Hi there,
I'm working on setting up a theatre system on my Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2 laptop and I purchased the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook and Logitech z-5500 speakers. I've done search on these forums already and noone seems to have this problem.
However, I'm running into a problem that is driving me nuts. First of all, I disabled the Sigmatel C-Audio in device manager, then plugged in the Audigy card and installed drivers/software. Then when i rebooted and ran the diagnostics only the front left and right speakers are outputing sound(It thinks its rear and center speakers). I've set the settings to 5.1 (double checked control panel) and no matter what the 5500 control center displays the sound as DB PL2 Movie (or Music)... I'm only getting 2 channels. I've tested this with the optical to mini and 6 channel direct analog and I get the same crap.
When i play movies and set the setting to DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1, the only Effects on my 5500 is DB PL2 Movie ( or Music ) and from the speaker manual this is not right It's suppose to say DTS or Dolby Digital on the screen.
My dad seems to think its the Sigmatel on board audio that is sending the audio to the PCMIA so its always 2 channel only.
PLEASE Anyone else that has this card and speaker PLEASE help... I'm seriously pulling my hair out on this. I dont know if its the hardware thats faulty or I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance.
