Louisifer Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Go to playback devices (right click speaker icon) and configure your speakers to use 7.1 instead of the default 2 speakers. if it doesn't show 7.1 use the name of the device to locate windows 10 drivers.

lethalman Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 done 7.1 but still it don't work ,I don't understand why not I did the hiss sound test all speakers work but no 7.1 the speakers that don't work I can hear a very low beating sound on the ones that have no sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisifer Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Checked the jacks are fully in? even a few millimetres can disrupt the other 5.1 channels especially if its a 1 jack for all 7.1 channels. ..and if you used the test button from the picture above you should hear instruments pinging each speaker and not hissing.

lethalman Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 its not the jacks as I did the test and the instrument played in every speaker but still I only get sound in two speakers and sub .can you bye outside 7.1 soundcard? .or do you think the speakers have packed up when it play in just two speakers I pick the ones up that don't have sound and hear a very low beating sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiranui Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I think you need 10.1 speakers for Windows 10. Clue's in the name, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRmpls Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If you are connecting using the Optical Out on a RealTek sound card, you should know that Microsoft has repeatedly broken and fixed the problem several times since Windows 10 launched. The last I checked it was broken again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to your motherboard's website. Find your specific board. Go to downloads. Or go to Realtec's site... Shiranui 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unzip the file it downloads, then go into the unzipped folder double click setup.exe to install and when it asks to restart, do so. Once windows reboots, rerun the speaker config and check 7.1 output via the applet in windows. dipsylalapo and CrashG 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted February 15, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 15, 2018 It probably reset everything. Make sure it is set on 7.1 sound again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashG Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 If you're only getting sound from two speakers playing something like MP3's, you may need to turn Speaker Fill on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337ish Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 What are you trying to play? What are you using to play it? The fact you hear the speakers make sounds in sequence when using the 7.1 test shows 7.1 IS working from Windows 10 but what you are trying to play may not use all those speakers.
