![]() | hey, just wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem i've recently got. I have an SB live sound card and it's worked fine until now. I had to format my pc and after I had done this only two of the speakers were working and I had no idea why this was, so I updated the drivers and they all seem to be working now except all the bass has gone. I've checked the sound settings and made sure options we'rnt muted and made sure the settings were on 5.1 and the bass is up. Anyone got any suggestions?. Cheers. |

Nope no problem there, as I said this has only started to happen since I installed the sb live 5.1 drivers which fixed my only two speakers working problem. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Take a look at these drivers and see what you think, they give you much more control over your audio. http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/down.php?language=en |

Ok I installed the plugins and restarted and when windows loaded up the bass was back, so I then played a song with bass in it to test and there is no bass now, it's not just in windows media player incase your thinking it's a setting in there, it happens in games and when i'm on teamspeak aswell etc so it isn't a certain program setting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | You have not said which driver you have installed. If it is the most recent for SB Live driver SBLW-XPWEB-W4-US, there is a patch for that driver here. Not trying to insult, but there are two different drivers versions for 5.1, one is specific for Dell. Just makes sure you have the correct one for your system. |

I installed the creative drivers then installed the KX project ones over it, then uninstalled the kX and had no sound, restarted my pc a couple of times and it just automaticly found a driver and the 5.1 works with bass. | |||||||||||||||||||

| At-Whore | My Logitech 5300's had a wierd bug. The wired remote volume control would stop working, as well as the volume control in Windows. Unplugging everything on the speaker system, then plugging it all back in always solved the problem. It hasn't done it lately, though. Just to throw it out there that it might be messed up wiring or plugs.
