Thread: Realtek HD Audio with 5.1 Speakers

Hello everyone

I have a gigabyte GA-ma78gm-s2h it contained realtek ALC889a HD audio on it. I have associated my dolby 5.1 speakers via the 1/8 inch headset style cables and in the speaker check they all sound well although I have to place it to an 8 speaker pattern to get it understand that I have no side speakers, but when I play and music or video file. I simply acquire stereo sound. Can’t appear to discover it, is there no speaker location for 5.1?? Any assist greatly respected!

TBH if you have a polite Music system, then I would purchase a polite sound card like the X-fi xtreme music. And if you can attach your Speakers to your s/Card via either visual or coaxial SPDIF.

Anyway on your difficulty, allow me obtain this directly. You contain 6 speaker (5.1) yes. -5.1 don’t contain any side speaker, so why not place your s/card to 5.1?

What occurs if you play a DVD (not copied or dense) on your system? Do you acquire 5.1?

I also contain it put to 8 and in the speaker check all works but anytime I play everything in media player or Showtime, anything actually, I only obtain stereo . WTF!

Do you signify that you desire sound to appear of all 6 speakers? If you have Logitech speakers, you require striking the "matrix" button. And if your product of speakers doesn't contain this aspect, then it's not possible you can play encase sound from a stereo sound file.

We'll I rationalized from an msi k9mm-v with 5.1 out and it worked just excellent, despite what file I played it approached through the sub and back speakers, windows is place to 5.1, and when I do the speaker check in the realtek software they al work, I can’t appear to find the Microsoft inform to unmount it like what was stated in your thread, what inform number is it?

By my Realtek HD when you release up the Audio Manager there is a Default Format tab. below that there is a choice for DTS Interactive 5.1 form for playing music. But that is for captivating stereo music and dispersion it to a 5.1 system. You have to memorize about 98 percent of music is recorded in stereo. The music DVD's that are recorded in 5.1 plan out on the market would need the same wants as playing a DVD movie.

For DVD's if your employing WinXP then you will need to purchase a full retail edition of PowerDVD or WinDVD to obtain the wanted software for interpreting 5.1 sound. The latest edition of Windows Media Player will also let you go online to purchase the codec for decoding 5.1 from both of these companies devoid of buying the whole program as well, saving you some money.

When I strike the dts interactive tab it notifies me that only the digital outputs will be utilized, I went in front and gave it a shot and nada as my speakers are just a low-priced place of 5.1's Looking for an inform with no fate.

Do if anyone is even directed read this but I also found this difficulty. I acquired a GA-MA790FX-DQ6 a few days before and the 5.1 also works well in the Realtek HD Audio Manager but only plays during 2 speakers (the "front" speakers) with winamp or media player. I believe the delays at Realtek thought they would do us an errand and make all stereo recorded audio only work during 2 speakers - real useful since most stuff is recorded in stereo - gee I didn’t desire to employ my other speakers anyway.

The object is that Realtek Hd Audio manager has no burden if the speaker check is acting ok at 6 channel pattern, then it's possibly is the media players pattern and some codecs that messed it up.

As in my situation, I have media player 11, with the similar difficulty, I treed going to Tools- alternatives or Left Click on - Now Playing and choose More Options (similar thing I deduction) and then choose from the Popup menu -Devices - Speakers - Properties - Audio device to use: ex: Direct Sound:Realtek HD Audio output.

I don't recognize the settings for winamp because I don't utilize it. Not all players work, from stereo to 5.1 (video players) and it might be the sift used also.
