| 432003 | 2006-02-18 20:27:00 | Hey, i routed my pc audio through an external 5.1 receiver. When i play a cd directly in the reciever sounds great, but when i play anything from my computer, sounds flat, and i have 2 crank the reciever audio up just 2 hear it. I went through the control panel and set my speaker set up as 5.1. But there is no difference in the audio from my p.c no matter what setting it is on, little help? | irish_refugee (9828) | ||
| 432004 | 2006-02-18 21:18:00 | "Hey, i routed my pc audio through an external 5.1 receiver." Is this a cheap one brought at the Supermarket or DS.? "but when i play anything from my computer, sounds flat, and i have 2 crank the receiver audio up just 2 hear it." What happens when you turn up the volume in your computer? "I went through the control panel and set my speaker set up as 5.1. But there is no difference in the audio from my p.c no matter what setting it is on, little help?" I would just leave in on stereo speakers in the computer. So your set up would be Speaker out of your computer to Aux in of the receiver.? |

| 432005 | 2006-02-18 21:39:00 | Yeah, my computer volume is set at max, and i switched my speker o/p from the computer 2 desktop stereo. and yes, audio o/p from pc is set to the aux input of the reciever | irish_refugee (9828) | ||
| 432006 | 2006-02-18 21:41:00 | oh yeah, and im not sure if it was chaep, my friend gave it to me, but im pretty sure its a cheap, "curtis" never heard of them, lol | irish_refugee (9828) | ||
| 432007 | 2006-02-18 22:38:00 | Try plugging something else into the aux in of the receiver and see if that sounds flat as well. | wmoore (6009) | ||
| 432008 | 2006-02-18 23:37:00 | i pluged in another cd player, sounds good, plus i noticed another symptom, i have all spekers hooked up correctly. When i open up the advanced volume bar, and change the balance, the front 2 speakers shift the wrong way, (i pull bar 2 the left, the right speaker is on, and vise versa). BOTH rear speakers stay on during the balance test. i tried this with multiple speaker configurations from the control panel, all the same result. | irish_refugee (9828) | ||
| 432009 | 2006-02-19 01:17:00 | To get output from six speakers you need a drive signal for each of the speakers . That requires six paths from the 6 channel source to the amplifier . An "Aux" input will take a stereo signal . That is, only two channels . Any 5 . 1 processing from that will be "faked" . You would need a digital output from the computer (either optical or coaxial) for the receiver to be able to decode it and produce proper 5 . 1 drive to it's speakers . The speakers might be connected correctly as far as the receiver is concerned; the computer's left and right hands might depend on which way you look at it . :cool: |
