[nova001]

I do not understand it :S for you god ?

 

[darkassain]

did you try the regular drivers the ones supplied by windows 7 as those are usually the best out there...
oh and what build are you on???

 

[nova001]

i install the vista driver...reatlek hd 2.10 verzio and bad...
but in vista is bad the sound rear, xp is all god stereo and 5.1
have you got a idea??

 

[darkassain]

i have had trouble with the realtek drivers myself
so my advice to you is unnistall the sound drivers from the programs and features
and also from the device manager...
be sure to check the "delete the driver software for this device" checked and restart
edit:the unnistall in my pic is purely a sample and of course yours will be different but the idea and the box will be there...

I made it what you said and the rear speaker its not sound never 5.1 is god stereo is only front in media player

 

[darkassain]

set it up in the speaker setup

 

[nova001]

I rehearsed it already and the test perfekt...az 5.1 distinguished one, but not clone down god the stereo
I do not have more ideas
I do not know it for other ones how works

 

[darkassain]

sorry for taking long but try this...

 

[nova001]

I rehearsed it already but nothing... I gave up :shock:

I rehearsed it already but nothing... I gave up :shock:

so my guess this will go anwsered..
well okay my suggestion is try the SRS audio sandbox (you can try it free) and if this works out for u let me know so that can call it al least half anwsered...

Cheers for the tip - for some reason I never actually though of going into the properties to select 5.1.

It worked a treat with the standard W7 drivers on my ALC889a sound chip.

I have the exact same problem with my integrated realtek hd. The 5.1 sounds works well in the test settings both in the windws sound settings and the realtek control panel but with any other playback just the left front seems to work. Any of you found a solution to this yet?

 

[darkassain]

do you know if the file you are trying to play is for 5.1??

 

[wmaster]

Yes I have tried playing real 5.1 files. But even though many of my other music file is not pure 5.1 sound it should still be able to play the sound thorugh out all speakers and use the subwoofer :/

Hi!

I have the same sound card, and using SPDIF output on the Realtek ALC889A, I only get stereo in games and non DTS movies.

5.1 works fine in DTS DVD's etc, but the software I earlier used to enable DTS encoding on all streams, in Windows XP won't install on Windows 7.. So I'm stuck listening to stereo in games and music videos.

Anyone have any tips on how to get the Realtek software working in Windows 7 or know how I can enable the DTS encoding feature available in the XP / Vista software ?
