Hey guys, I know what you are going through. I know for music you have to enable a thing called CMSS for sound to come out of all speakers during music and such. My friend just bought an Audigy LS, and I thought it was defective until I read the instructions.....(CMSS is in the Audigy program thing)

Still it doesnt make sense because I have an Audigy Gamer and I never had to enable that...

Where do you find the cmss settings?

 

[vassil3427]

Its under your Audigy settings in the creative program that came with it...I'm trying to remember where it is...

thanks ill have a look and get back to you

Actually I wasnt thinking, the guy with the audigy LS can use those instruction, you need to go into creative Playcenter and enable CMSS

center speaker problem

I wouldn't suggest using CMSS for dvd playback, it's for playing stereo source, like mp3:s on a surround system.

I have a similiar problem, but even stranger. When I play a DVD with WinDVD, I get 5.1 sound, for maybe 1 minute. Then all of a sudden, the center and sub speakers go silent, and I have to move the mouse, choose "dolby digital 5.1 playback" again or something like that. So it's probably not a hardware problem, since when I do something with the software, it comes back. Have anyone else experienced a similar problem? I have a Audigy LS soundcard and an external amplifier.
