i bought the Creative Labs Inspire 6.1 6600 speaker system
it has a subwoofer and 6 speakers
there are 3 plugs that plug into the sound card, front, center and rear
my computer has an integrated sound card that only supports 2 speaker, so i went and looked for a new PCI interface card
i bought the sound blaster live! 5.1 sound card it says in the specs that it supports a 6 speaker surround sound system, and not to mention creative labs makes both products
everything went together fine, i installed all the drivers and programs that came with the sound card
the installation was a success, but there was so sound coming out of the speakers. so i plugged one plug into the integrated sound card on my board, and it worked, the same as before, with only 2 speakers
so i went into the bios and turned off the integrated sound, and i plugged the speakers back into the sound blaster live 5.1
i restarted my comp, and there was sound, but only out of the sub and 1 speaker and it was quiet and very fuzzy
i thought i might have had the plugs in the wrong order on the card, so i switched them around to all the different combinations, but it didnt change anything
i dont know what the hell is wrong with this thing
any help would be appreciated
(sorry for my long explanation)
