Hey Guys

I hope you can help me, i have been trying to get my Logitech X-530 5.1 surround sound speaking working on my computer for ages.

I am runninga computer with: windows XP, P4 3.20 Ghz processor, 1GB ram and version 11.0.5721.5230 of windows media player

Can you guys offer any  solutions to this problem.

Thanks in advance

what are the settings on your control pod? like what input are you using and what "effect" are you using? do they work in other audio applications or use of web video (youtube) or maybe iTunes? if you can isolate it strictly to one thing than maybe its the program itself but if its wide scale then it might be isolated to the way the speakers are set up.

This article might be of assistance. Please test each speaker to determine if all speakers are in working order.

Hi, are you playing just music on WMP? If you are, the center and rears are not supposed to work because the source is not recorded in 5.1.

Yeah. You cant get 5.1 sound unless your sound car SUPPORTS 5.1 sound AND has the option to turn 2 channel sound into simulated 5.1 sound.

I suggest you get a Creative Audigy sound card, as they have the option to upmix 2 ch to 5.1 ch

That is a very good sound card.

Figured this out last night, started the day before, googling and so forth. Finally after talking with a friend he helped me stumble upon what I needed to get those speakers working.  At least for my issue and I didn't see this one on any other site I looked on.  If you will notice your speaker icon in your bottom tray toward the right/ the one that controls the volume. Right Click on it and then click playback devices. When that's up notice that your speakers should be on the top with a check as default device. Right Click on this icon, most likely it says high definition audio device. Click on Configure speakers then just click on the 5.1 system that best fits what you have. Click test and you should see all speakers are working! Then just click next and continue through the instructions.  Just to make sure all speakers work when finished go to speaker properties you can use the same path as above just go to properties instead of configure speakers.  Click the enhancements tab and then select the speaker fill feature. Click apply or ok. You should have success.  Hope that helps you many people out there getting frustrated!!
