5.1 Sound Issues

mysticsniper · 14 Nov 2008 at 13:33

I seem to be having a few issues playing my games in 5.1 surround sound. I can play them fine in 2.1. But as soon as I change to 5.1 the voices sounds disappear?

It has happened in games like Fallout3, Far Cry 2, Assassins Creed. Grid, and a couple of others.

So are games not supporting 5.1 anymore, or is it my hardware that is a bit too outdated??

Soundcard - Audigy 4 Pro (with external box)
Speakers - Logitech Z-5500

:confused:

I have it set on my Logitech console as

Input: Optical
Effect DPLII Music

Is this where I am failling?

When I play music with my current settings it works great in 5.1. But when I go into the Vista sound Control, it will only detects a 2.1 speaker setup, and there is no sound when Vista does its sound test apart from the 2.1 speakers.

Edit: Vista knows there 5 speakers, but will not play a sound when testing the setup???
