Hi,
I have just purchased a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer sound card - to replace my rather ageing Creative Soundblaster Audigy Standard Edition. One of the main reasons why I bought the X-Fi was so that I could once again use the Front Panel Audio socket (Line Out) for my headphones and Creative 2.1 computer speakers - a function, or capability, not supported by my very basic Audigy card.
However, a problem has developed. When I use the Front Panel socket, I only get mono sound (or 1.05 sound from my speakers!). But when I plug the headphones or speakers into the back of the X-Fi sound card I'm back into stereo/2.1 sound ...
Any ideas as to what is going wrong? I'm sure it is something pretty basic, a configuration problem or something. If you can help that would be great
Thanks,
DANNY
