i got 5.1 soundĪs for rohanbee's comments yes i understand that there's no point in using 5.1 speakers if the true capabilites aren't utilized. that was causing the issue.changed the speakers to 5.1 and voila. reinstalled the software and the drivers and found that the speakers were defaultes as stereo speakers. after restarting as i mentioned sound was coming from just the front speakers and so i panicked.įollowed raven's advice and rechecked the cd that was bundled with the sound card. am running windos Xp so it detected the sound card and i thought that was enough. for the time being have attached the 5.1 to my creative sound blaster 24 bit and was trying to test. Since it knows there are no rear satellites and center channel speaker to reproduce ambient sounds and high frequencies.
#INSPIRE 5.1 5200 MOVIE#
My mobo intel 915GAV has a decent 6 channel on-board audio and comes bundled with quite nice sound drivers and they let me specify what kind of a system iam playing 2.1, 4.1, 5.1 etc etc.then it accordingly channelises the sound and frequencies.Įxample since iam running 2.1's so when playing a movie every frequency will come out of the satellites and only the low tones will be reproduced by the sub. I just bought a Altec lansing 5021 and they are 2.1 channel 90rms rated, i could attach 2 more speakers by combining wires and say that now i have 4.1. I have a sony home theater and it can play all channels too but in a true 5.1 enviornment one would require the centre channel to play only vocals, the sub only low frequencies and so on so forth. What this chap needs to do is get a dvd and play it with true dolby pro-logic enabled. What i feel is going to happen here is like when we try to stick two speakers into one channel to get sound out of two sources instead of one (as it is actually meant to be) if i stick 4 speakers to my 2.1 channel system. Guys what you are actually talking about here is not true 5.1 dolby sound as it is meant to be.
