When the computer came back up the setting remained at SPDIF - Out and now there was sound from the card to the speaker. What my repair person did was change the setting to SPDIF - Out and do a restart on the computer immediately (even though he got no sound). I would then try SPDIF - Out (Soundblaster), get no sound and change it back to Speaker Sound Blaster Z and get no sound still (I am using an SPDIF cable). I would change it to Speaker Sound Blaster Z and get no sound. What happened at initial start up it was selecting the LG screen Display Audio. If you click on it it tells you can select playback device. NOW, when I go through the speaker test (either in Windows or in SBX Studio), I get front L/R output, but no center, rear L/R or sub. It was working fine with my Logitech Z906 5.1 system on Windows 10 just weeks ago. If you take the cursor over the icon it tells you the volume percentage. I recently built a new PC, and I migrated my Sound Blaster Z (internal card) to the new system. The resolution is mind boggling to me.Īt the bottom right hand of the screen there is a speaker icon. I decided to take my computer in to Santa Cruz Electronics (a trusted computer repair shop I use when I am stumped) before I pulled the card out and purchased a new one.
