Creative T6060

Silex · 12-11-2006, 05:33 AM

Hi there, new to the board.

I just bought the Creative Inspire T6060 systems, and with much anticipation I installed the systems, connected the everything, and tried it out, and experienced the following problem.

I tested the channels, to see if it is working, and it seems that it is mixed up.

The left front and right front seems to be working fine, but the rear right and left are mixed up with the center speaker and the sub... and the center speaker and the sub acts now as the rear speakers. So in that event the sub distorts heavy, as I imagine that it is acting like a rear speaker. And the overall performance is really bad, and figure that I should rather plug my Creative SBS 390's back in?

In the control panel, I went to sound, and to the advanced tab, and made sure that 5.1 surround is selected... Maybe it's a problem with some driver or something, as I'm using my onboard sound.

Here is my current specs regarding to the sound.

Windows XP Prof (Service Pack 2)
Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF Motherboard
AC97 8 Channel Audio (AL 850)

Please Help

No worries guys, managed to solve the problem, just swapped the connectors, since the rare and center/sub were switched, no it works...

So that just proves that not everything color coded works! *lol*

Cheers

i mess up like that too sometimes, especially when the x-fi uses stickers for color coding, its REALLY hard to see, good thing about my live was that the color conectors has a plastic surround that was colored with the proper color.
