Recently I've bought my new PC and it has an onboard soundcard, a Realtek one.
I also have a Creative Isnpire 5700 System and I'm not able to make'em work properly. :sigh:
I mean that I bough a coaxial RCA wire to take advantage of the digital coaxial input the speaker system has, but I only have stereo output.

It should be working perfectly, but I don't have digital 5.1 sound, only stereo. :upset:
I suppose i also can use the optical input of the inspire 5700 system but, damn!

Thank you in advance
(and excuse me for my bad English :grin

Most integrated Realtek audio solutions have a package that gets installed with the driver when first installed.
You should be able to access this audio package (in the form of a control panel) through either the taskbar, or the Control panel.
It contains various settings including gain, balance, output settings etc.

All the settings are correct (I suppose) :sigh:
The digital output is enabled, 6 channel output, I checked everything at the BIOS, Everything is plugged in perfectly (i also did the speaker test that the Inspire have on them) and everything is perfect...
IT SHOULD WORK! :4-dontkno

I though I should buy an optical too, but it might also be a waste of money :upset:

Thans for the help stressfreesoul

Have you tried plugging any other 5.1 source into the sound system? At least to rule out the sound system or PC being at fault?

 

[Balidor]

Nope, I don't have any ...
(I got a PS3, but it's in another room and a little difficult to get it here)
The sound system with my previous PC was working just fine...
I had a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1. and I used a digital DIN connector!

I still believe that I possibly forget something...

I thing I should go buy a optical wire, If It doesn't work either, I might buy a new SoundBlaster X-FI, but there's a possibility that the sound system might not work properly again :/

And damn, I just love it...
I'm emotionally connected with it

IMHO, buying an optical cable is the cheapest option. It will at least tell you if its just COAX that isnt working.
I do suggest testing it with another source (utilising the coax connection).
It will tell you if you need to take it back to the shop you bought it from...

Thank SO VERY much stressfreesoul...
I really appreciate it.

I'll by an optical cable and I'll return with more news,
I think is the cheapiest and easiest solution!

thanks again

OK, i bought a new optical cable, I unistalled the Realtek through Device Manager (MyComputer->properties->Hardware), restarted computer, installed realtek again, updated the drivers and... NOTHING!

I still got stereo sound
