Problem with 5.1 audio
My issue is that when I go the Control Panel > Sounds and have my configuration set to 5.1 I can't get to the bass management enhancement where I can set the subwoofer crossover frequency. If I have the sound configured to stereo or quadraphonic the bass management enhancement appears, but as soon as I set it to 5.1 it goes away. When I have it set to stereo or quadraphonic and I go to bass management it tells me that my subwoofer is not present and won't allow me to change the frequency. I was able to change the frequency previously with the same OS, then one day I noticed that my bass had decreased greatly and that is when I saw that bass management magically disappeared for 5.1.
I also have the IDT HD Sound program installed, but I had that installed back when I was able to adjust the crossover frequency - so that has nothing to do with it... Any suggestions as to why it somehow disappeared?
Thanks in advanced.
P.S. I put in all of my PC specs when I registered if you need to look at them.
EDIT: I should mention that when I have it set to 5.1 audio in the control panel I get true 5.1 audio -all of the channels work, but the bass is definitely lacking compared to when I was able to adjust the crossover frequency.
