Only F/L Speaker working...

[xXSevenXx]

... when I connected my Technics SC-CH570 home surround sound system.
Any solution?

This it?

TECHNICS HIFI SC-CH570 with surround sound on eBay (end time 15-Jun-10 21:08:41 BST)

What does it have for inputs? If all it has are stereo (left and right) inputs, then all you're going to get is stereo unless the unit has some kind of upmixing capability (Dolby Prologic II or something).

It's has Dolby Prologic.
There are 4 connections on the back for External (VCR 2 in and 2 out) I have 2xRCA to the 'in' and 1 to the lime socket on my mobo 3.5mm jack cable.

Unless you are using a stereo cable like this one,

For only $1.73 each when QTY 50+ purchased - PREMIUM 1.5FT 3.5mm Stereo Male to 2RCA Male 22AWG Cable - Gold Plated | 3.5mm/RCA Audio Cables

you're only going to get mono/sound out of one speaker.

So you think buying a gold plated cable will resolve my issues?

 

[stormy13]

Doesn't need to be gold plated but it does need to be a stereo 3.5 mm male to 2 RCA male (left/right, white/red), to get a stereo signal to that surround system.

Did you read my 3rd post?

 

[stormy13]

I did. Is the cable you have a stereo cable, or just a 3.5 mm to 2 RCA mono splitter cable? If unsure have a look here,

the two on the left are mono and the two on the right are stereo.

It's the one with 2 rings.
I don't think it's the cable as it worked perfectly well with my VCR and TV.

You install the Realtek driver,

for your onboard sound?

Yes I have.

Set to stereo/2.0/2.1 in both the Realtek controls and the Windows speaker configuration?

No, it's set to 5.1.

 

[stormy13]

Then that would be why you are only getting sound from one side, it needs to be set to stereo/2.0. You may be connecting to a surround system, but you are only using a stereo connection.

Which cable do I need for my 5 speakers?

 

[xXSevenXx]

I changed the settings , alas, no change.

 

[xXSevenXx]

Strange thing happened. When I went to DTS and enabled it my centre speaker started to work.
When I test my speaker both in realtek and windows the centre speaker thinks it's my F/R, also the F/L has stopped working. lol

 

[stormy13]

You set to analogue or digital in the Realtek control panel? It needs to be analogue.

 

[xXSevenXx]

I think it's analogue.
Have a look!!

Do you have a set of headphones or other two speaker system that you can test the output with?

If you do insert the jack into the green socket and check that the sound appears in both left and right channel

If this is correct then you may have an issue outside of the computer - either the cabe or decoder.

also check that surround is switched off in the options for the realtek CP
