    SoundMAX 5.1 does not work


    Hi everybody.

    I've tried several times solving this issue but nothing seems to work.

    I own an Asus M2N32-Sli motherboard with SoundMax 7.1 integrated audio and I'm trying to get a 5.1 sound system work on this. Windows is able to recognize the audio card perfectly (I don't even have to install any drivers). Control Panel allows me to configure it just fine, even the test works great; all 6 speakers work in the test, but they do not work in any application (Windows Media Player, Power DVD, Winamp...), I only hear the front speakers, not the sorround or the SW/center ones.

    I guess this is not a driver issue since they work perfectly in the test, but if anyone can give any suggestion, I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks and regards!

    Of first off make sure that you are allowing other devices to allow exclusive control over the speakers...check the screenie...and also post some pics of your sound properties to see what is up

    Hi Chris.

    I got it as you show (other applications allowed) but still doesn't work.

    I've just installed a new driver; same results.

    same problem has been posted in 30 other threads. this is a known issue and there is no known solution at this time sausme. there's many people, including me with the same problem. i've tried almost everything, including changing the registry, trying every single audio driver, but it just doesn't work. and it's the same as you have - it works perfectly while testing, but in every other application, only 2 speakers work. i'm actually finishing downloading the final version of windows 7 that had just leaked couple days ago and i'm gonna install it tomorrow so i'll see if that works.

    Subscribed for info! I'm in the same boat (and it's a big boat from what I'm reading)!
