I can go into the sound settings and play the tests on both sound settings but when I run Winamp or WMP..I can only use one set of speakers. I know the other set is working because the test sounds work through windows. I've tried the different jacks and all the same problem? Any ideas?

Hi brettxw

When you say sound settings, which settings are those?

Windows own or those for your soundcard?

For instance. I have Realtek sound. And if settings there is 2 speakers, I can try
change to 4 as much as I would like in windows own, it would still use the settings in the
Realtek settings.

So you might have to check that settings both places, windows and soundcard, are
set to 4 or more speakers.

Hmm. Good point. Ive been doing it in the Realtek Audio settings. I have it set to Quadraphonic or whatever it is called and all 4 speakers (with subs) work. BUT, I'll go to winamp..Only one set of speakers work.

[brettxw]

Ok, windows sound is also set to quadraphonic..tests work..BUT once again, when playing music, Winamp, WMP, only one set of speakers play sound.

Are the settings set to stereo?? If yes, it will only use 2 speakers no matter what.
You need to use the surround sound setting, to ensure it uses all available speakers.

No, they are set to quadraphonic.

In Winamp that is. There should be a setting to allow surround sound instead of playing it
in stereo...Sorry for not including the winamp in previous post

Been awhile since I used Winamp, using Foobar, so can't remember where you
can find the setting.

I have "allow surround sound enable" and still nothing. Its aggervating me haha. Im about to throw the PC out the window!!

Hmm, at a loss here now myself

Maybe someone else will have some input.

A last ditch effort could be to try un-install the
real-tek sound drivers and see if windows own
drivers can get the job done. Other than, I can't
add anything else.
