Why Can't I Get Both Sets of Speakers to Work?

MrChooks · 08-11-2008, 02:07 PM

Just go myself a new 22" LCD monitor with twin speakers installed inside. I also have a set of Creative 1w stand alone speakers that were working fine.

My sound output is from an on board sound card within my motherboard (Gigabyte EP35C DS3R) which has 4 audio outputs.

OK - so I plugged the LCD screen audio lead into one of the audio outputs and the Creative speakers' audio lead into one of the other audio outputs

But all I get is sound out of the LCD monitor speakers

& nothing out of the previously fine Creative speakers - anyone have any ideas / suggestions pls

try accessing the control panel for your sound card and choosing quadraphonic sound...

Hey Tks Wozer

I have Realtek HD Audio manager whch I guess is attached to my Gigabyte MB (where my sound outputs are) -

Well I sorta did what you said - I told the "Audio Manager" that I had an 8 channel system - and what do you know - all the speakers are working Tks
