Hi !
 
I just bought a new Cambridge SoundWorks speaker set (4 speakers, 1 subwoofer) and connected it correctly to my sound card. but just 2 of the 4 speakers are working.
 
I asked a friend to help me and he pulled the black rear speaker cable (of the two cables, black and green) out and voilà it worked, BUT the two right speakers play exactly the same music which they shouldn't do. Same with the left side.
 
Can anybody help. Maybe it is a driver problem and somebody can send me a link or anything else.
 
Thanks alot.
 
Griswold Airon, getting mad with his hardware.

What sound card does he have?
 
Check the mixer software that came with the card because it should have something to get the 4-speaker output working.
 
The only other thing I can tell you is if this happens to be the Guillemot Maxi Sound Fortissimo (not the Hercules Game Surround Fortissimo II) you will see rear speaker output the same time pigs fly, because yamaha's 2k drivers don't support rear speaker out.

But it's from Creative =)

Never had the live!, but if the Audigy is any indication, you should have something with Creative's mixer that allows 4-speaker output. I am going by Win2k, but I don't see how it would be any different in XP.
