Surround Sound + Realtek

[mmarshall29]

OK So!

Ive tried EVERYTHING even bought a new set of speakers thought the others were broken. I am running windows 7 ultimate and i have tried every realtek driver known to man. And I still can't get my surround sound to work I haven't re-assigned the jacks cause i am not to sure how to do that and dont want to have any sound..

Can anyone get my surround sound to work?

It will help others to help you to know your entire system specs. You can fill in your specs in your user cp located at the top of the page. Then suggestions of which Reltek drivers to try, possibly a bios update as well as chipset drivers. Thanks and welcome to sevenforums.

Done! I filled it out

ECS Web Site This is the driver section from your MB site including the Realtek HD Audio driver 2.25 I assume you have tried this one? Correct? The site also requests a version # for your MB which might change some of the drivers or possibly a bios update. Lets start from here. ( thanks for filing out your specs)

I don't want to do a bios update and break my computer. I tried those drivers already

 

[mmarshall29]

OK so I reinstalled the sound drivers and set it to 5.1 and only 2 speakers work. I"m asuming I need to re asign jacks

I have suffered this with realtek hd audio (also having trouble with audigy 2 zs)... I don't see how rearranging the pins would help

[mmarshall29]

afraid to upgrade

I'm afraid to upgrade my bios, Cause it gave me a warning if it's working fine don't do it could break the computer should i still do it/?

 

[mmarshall29]

So if I upgrade my bios it should work? I installed the latest realtek drivers as of today. And still no surround sound man this is making me angry

Because your card and onboard isn't configured properly

 

[mmarshall29]

How do I configure it properly?

UPDATE!

So I installed windows xp pro just seeing if anything made a difference I installed the latest drivers as of when they were release. When I enable "matrix mode" it acts as a stero mode 2 speakers work, but when I disable it all the speakers work but the center / sub don't. I have tried everything so how would I re configure my motherboard so that it works?

 

[mmarshall29]

UPDATE - So I installed the latest driver the for windows 7. Went into my bios and restored things back to default values. That seems to fix my crackling problem but I can't seem to get the subwoofer working when I put it in matrix mode the sub acts as the center speaker and when I take matrix mode off the center speaker still acts as the sub. I tested the speakers and they all work fine, maybe I need to put them in different colors? Who Knows i've tried everything realtek fails, if anyone has any solutions let me know I really want to get my surround sound back because I spent alot of money on it. Also using windows 7 upon changing wallpapers automatically it makes this weird beep noise if anyone can fix this because I talked to my motherboard manufacture a few months ago and nothing yet, realtek has updated twice since then and both none work Ive read and read and tried everything here and nothing works. Maybe re- assigning my plugs? Curentlly I got orange, black, and green but I got a blue and some other colors back there any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
