5.1 Speakers

goldeneyes02 · 06-18-2006, 12:25 PM

I have a Sounblaster Live! 5.1 It's one of the early models of the Live series, but it was free...

Anyway, everytime I restart my computer, I have to go back into the advanced audio settings and change the speaker set up from desktop speakers to 5.1. I have Logitech X-530 5.1 speaker set up.

It's really annoying to have to change this setting every time. Is there a way to make it STAY on 5.1 speakers so I don't have to change it every time?

I'd really appreciate some help on this. Thanks!

Have you got the lastest drivers for the card and evey thing els??
and the lastest patches for your os??

Yeah, everything's up to date. I keep checking Creative's site to make sure.

There are 3 inputs from the speakers and they're all pluged in. I also have the line-in pluged in for the TV Tuner. I've had the sound card for over a year and it's always done this. I just got the TV tuner recently; that didn't change anything.

Once I set it manually in the advanced settings, it works in 5.1. The creative drivers have a place where the 5.1 settings need to be made, too but those don't change. It saves the changes I make.

I have to change it in Windows. The Creative stays set to 5.1. The Windows setting changes back to Desktop Speakers after every restart.
