I have been using my Z5500's for a few months problem free. They are hooked up to my 360 and PC. When I set them up in the first place I used the Asus set up tool to check the sound coming from each speaker.

I am using the onboard sound from as Asus motherboard, I think its Realtek AC97 audio.

Now my problem is the r/h rear speaker has no sound at all coming from it. I have swapped speakers and cables to check they are not faulty. I've checked the cables from control box with another set and everything is good.

If I do a sound check on the asus tool I get no sound from the l/h forward speaker until I click on the r/h rear. The r/h rear then comes out the front l/h. If I play a cd i get sound from everything apart from the r/h rear speaker.

Strangely if I throw a dvd in the 360 all the channels are working correctly. If I use the test switch on the remote for the speakers for the pink noise they are all coming out correctly.

:confused:

I know this was working fine a week or so ago, anyone else had this issue and know how to solve it?

I had same problem and pulled out the 3 cables that go into your sound card and reinserted them and it fixed it, long shot but worth a try

Tried swapping everything for about 3 hours. I think I will borrow a soundcard off a mate and see if that makes a difference.
