Subwoofer won't work with SoundBlaster Audigy 4

Slim Vision · 02-21-2006, 05:06 AM

I've got a surround sound system for my new Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4 (not the pro version), and I have it all correctly setup but for some reason the subwoofer won't work. I have it set to 7.1 surround and as it is now everything is plugged in the correct place and all powered on and I know this for a fact because I've checked it, checked it again and rechecked it against the specifications for the Audigy 4 in the user guide and in the knwloedge base on the sb wbsite. The subwoofer does actually work too, so it hasn't broken or anything. I pluged it into the front speaker plug and it boomed away like it should do.

Everything works as it should, the front left/right speakers, the front speaker, the rear speakers and the side speakers, just not the woofer. Does anyone have any ideas why not? I have the latest drivers installed and I cannot find anything in the Creative Audio Console or anywhere else sound related for that matter to fix the issue (unless I'm overlooking something, which I figured I must be?). I'd appreciate any help at all. The Soundblaster knowledge base is a complete dead end so I'm pretty much stuck, and with no bass playing surround sound just isn't the same.

Try enabling CMSS in your EAX console.
