View Full Version : Now What?

I was finally succesful in diagnosing and resolving the problem with the center speaker on my Logitech Z-640 speakers. After some more trouble shooting and deliberation I concluded that for some reason the center/sub connection on my mother board is reversed. Therefore sending the center signal to the sub and vise versa. Using THIS (http://www.msnusers.com/1987PlymouthVoyager/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=49) setup I was able to reverse the connection. I thought these speakers sounded great before but they sound even better when they are hooked up correctly. Why would my onboard sound be reversed like that? Anyway, now I still cannot hear anything in front of me in the Call of Duty demo. Nothing comes through the center speaker in that game. That game uses EAX. Could it be that my onboard sound does not support EAX?

Here are my system specs

ASUS A7V333 Mother Board
AMD Athlon 1.8ghz CPU
512mb 333mhz DDR RAM
60 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
6GB 5200 RPM Hard Drive
GeForce 4 ti 4800se 128mb Graphics Card
Plextor 24/10/40x CDRW
Acer 40x CD-ROM
Windows XP Home Edition
Cable Modem

Isn't EAX a proprietary Creative Labs thing?

I would say that if you want EAX, you would have to put a Soundblaster of some sort in there. The old Live 5.1 is 40 bucks at Newegg.
