I can't get my rear speakers to work. When I test them through windows configuration there is sound. When tested with creative's console the rear speaker sound comes out of the front as does anytime I play a music or video file. Anyone got this to work?

What Operating System are you using?

If its vista have u alchemy installed.

Also I think most Media Players don't support surround sound music. In the realtek control panel there is a speaker fill option that puts the sound to all the speakers

I'm using windows 7. I hear no rear sound with any media player I try. Everything worked with Vista. When I play music under vista with media monkey I get rear sound. Not under windows 7. I have tried all settings I can think of.

You got the right pre-release drivers for Windows 7? for your sound card?

[kcmc20]

Well, the list for pre-release windows 7 drivers is so long it was hard to sift through all of them to find them (sarcasm). I used the latest ones, I used the original ones, I used the beta drivers, I installed them in compatibility mode, I installed them with admin privileges, and I even tried the on board sound (Intel 975 xbx2). All with the same result. No sound in rear speakers. Like I said they work under XP and Vista. I was just wondering if anyone else got true 5.1 surround sound to work with any creative sound card? If so how? What steps were taken?

Do you have Windows 7 set for a surround sound system?

Under speaker settings?

Yes I do. As a matter of fact when tested with the windows speaker settings I got sound out of the rear speakers but during playback and in the creative sound console there is no rear sound.

61, I used all the drivers I could find. Original disc, latest, and beta drivers. And I installed them the way you did. By the way if you use the original driver disc (for vista) it will install without the compatibility mode.
Are you using stereo or 5.1 and how is it working out for you?
