Dear all,
I have a Gigabyte G1.Sniper M5 and am attempting to set up 5.1 sound with the onboard Creative SB Recon 3Di chip. I have a pair of Roccat Kave 5.1 headphones attached to the correct analogue jacks on the motherboard.
When I set the sound profile to headphones in the Sound Blaster Pro software, my headset plays sounds as expected through the front left and right channels only.
When I switch to 5.1 surround, all channels EXCEPT the front left and front right play. With the headphone control sliders, putting everything to 0 except 'Front' (meaning front L/R), gives me no sound at all - ie the other channels are all playing but front left and right isn't.
When I do this same thing with stereo rather than 5.1 surround, the front speakers are working fine - it's not that the headset is plugged in incorrectly or not working.
When I try reinstalling the sound card drivers, I can get about 0.5 seconds of sound from the front left when I try to test the surround sound mode before the sound cuts out, and only the centre/sub/rear speakers work after that. This is repeatable upon uninstallation and reinstallation of the drivers.
Can anyone help me sort out what's going on? Thanks in advance for your help!!
