I just bought a 7.1 system from Creative/Cambridgeworks and I am having some trouble making it work. I connected the speakers to an Audigy 2 ZS sound card and I have made sure that I went through all the steps according to the speaker system manual. But still all I get from the speakers is a loud hum in the center speaker or hissing sometimes. If I hear music, it is very muffled and it sounds far away. Also, the sound comes out only through the center speaker and all the others are silent or with a hiss.
I am using the 64-bit drivers from Creative as I have a 64-bit system under WindowsXP-X64Edition/Windows Server 2003 sp1.
My computer specs are:
Asus mobo AV8 with Via Chipset kt800Pro
Athlon64 4000 running at 2.4 Ghz San Diego version
Nvidia Geforce FX6600 256Mb
1 IDE HDD 40 Gig from Western Digital
1 SATA HDD 80 gig from Western Digital
1 Mad Dog 16X DVD Drive
1 Lite-on 12x DVD drive
1024 Mb Corsair memory, 2.5 cas latency
Wireless mice and Keyboard from Microsoft
Cable Service via a PCX1100U cable modem
Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card
