Here's a crazy one for you.
I noticed just the other day my subwoofer wasn't resonating like it usually does. Hmm, after doing a playback check, (in 5.1 mode) I get no tone for the center or the sub during the check. So, basically my Logitech x-540s are stuck in stereo. Now during games, I hear audio coming from both the center and the sub, but it's minimal.
This is so weird, I had no trouble for quite some time. I did just recently get a Logitech g930 headset, and that took some tinkering to get it to work. But when I test the 7.1 playback in the Windows sound options, every single area fires just fine.
So maybe it's the Realtek HD audio? I tried THEIR audio test mode, and sure 'nuff, no center or subwoofer signal going out.
Hmmm. Maybe I need to update the Realtek drivers? Talk about a less-than-smooth procedure. I went to Realtek's site who suggested I get the drivers from my mobo manufacture. I've got an Asus p8p67 pro mobo. I got the drivers and the first thing it did was delete my Realtek HD Audio. There is a note that mentions I must instal a Microsoft HD UAA Bus Driver first. So I go looking for that and all I can find is stuff on XP. Grrr... now we're getting out of my comfort zone.
Can anyone help me? I know the speakers work because I can feel the vibrations from the cone (small as they may be). I can't suffer through any more googling!
