Windows 7 5.1 surround problems (realtek)

[The Stodd]

New Realtek drivers

Realtek

Will test later, fingers crossed.

 

[holfire]

Even with this new driver, 5.1 doesn't work ! Only 2.1 =(

Anybody here have the solution ? I'm searching for so long !

 

[simonfilth]

I fix a problem... You only need to set blue jack as center/subwoofer speaker, red as side speakers and green/black as front speakers and it will work

But you can't really do it with the Windows 7 realtek manager. only in windows xp.

@holfire

yeah i know i've had the same problem ever since windows 7 came out during the summer and i still haven't found solution

@simonfilth

Yeah so... I think we haven't the choice : Buy a sound card !

5.1 works on windows 7 only if we have a sound card, not just a chipset inteagreated in the motherboard.
My father have 5.1 and it perfectly works on 7, and he has a aureon 5.1 card.

I hope I'm wrong... I don't want buy something again !

Sorry if I don't speak english very well, I'm french.

heyguys - I have "just upgraded" from 7100 Ultimate 64 bit - to full release and I can tell you it now works properly ! 5.1 rear speakers, front, centre and sub all going with the latest realtek drivers and doing that disable uac after installing the realtek drivers and before re-booting
PS I registered just to post this as this was the best thread I could find on T'InterWebThingy that told me I was not alone !

I just tried this and music still won't play in 5.1, only 2.1... All my games play in 5.1 properly but I like music in 5.1 as well

I'd like to add my 2 cents as well. I, too, have the same problem. I have an onboard Realtek HD Audio driver and was working fine on my Windows XP. Since I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, the 5.1 speakers don't work on movies or music and the volume seems rather low. I have tested the 5.1 channels and all speakers should work fine but the current output is only receiving 2.1. It just seems like the audio is not being directed properly and it's all being clumped into the 2.1 speakers. Hope there is a solution or driver update for this soon because it's driving me insane.

it's not fixed. still the same problem. although i found actually a nice solution but it doesn't work completely. i managed to get sound from all of my speakers, but it's not really 5.1 surround. it's just that i put that every single jack was front speakers so from all the speakers, i got the sound as it was played from the front speakers.

I just tried this and it sounds much better than speaker fill in my opinion, although I wouldn't use it playing games, where I actually get 5.1 surround.

 

[Billy]

it's working this file has been publishing by realtek,too. ftp://152.104.238.19/pc/audio/3DSoundBack_Beta0.1.zipMy 5.1 works without problem. i hope,soon everyone has been solved all problems.

This link works better, check the box and hit next, the 3d Sound Back Beta 0.1 is the bottom Windows download- Realtek

Didn't work.

New drivers have been released on realtek website. Version R2.37 Release date is 20/11/09. Uninstalled current useless realtek drivers and installed new drivers. 5.1 channels still don't work. Anyone get it to work?

 

[albuvladi]

I have an Asus P5K motherboard with onboard Realtek ALC 883 card and my rear speakers still don't work after this driver. The sound in the rear speakers is just so low that you can't hear them.

 

[holfire]

I have : MSI P45 Neo with realtek 888.

I swear to god I'll become crazy !!!
I want to have my ****ing 5.1, 2.1 is **** !

Why it's so difficult to have it ? Why the new drivers doesn't work ?

I can't stand anymore the situation !

Sorry, but somebody can give an explication to the problem ?

Hi guys! I have same problem as you all... have you anyone tried quoted procedure? i'm not home now, so i'm not able to try it now, but I'm becoming really desperate, so I trust that ANYTHINK can help... this situation about surround and win7 really makes only one "con" till this time for me.

edit: bad luck... changing of jacks also don't help for me

This is not true 5.1 surround. Although sound will come out of these speakers, it is merely a copy of the 2.1 channels. The true 5.1 surround has not been fixed yet.

 

[The Stodd]

Correct Match!

I installed Gom player and now have 5.1, no idea what it did, everything was the same elsewhere. Updated the newest Realtek drivers and lost it again! Sys Restore to previous driver, 5.1 works although mix is not as good as XP seemed.

 

[drajin]

Just unplug the black jack and put it in the brown input on your motherboard or sound card, it should work.

As Simple As That

Speaker fill = play STEREO (left + right) sound.

Realtek High Definition Audio driver R2.38 from Realtek works fine on Medion Akoya P6612 laptop with Windows 7 x64 (tested with 6 channel analog speaker system, DTS 5.1 source).
