"Full range" not working for 5.1 rear speakers
Uhm yeah im not sure how to actively suggest something to the error-fixing
people of Microsoft but I have a bug of sorts to report - When using 5.1 speaker configuration the option under audio configuration of full-range satellites does not appear to work for rear satellites whether enabled or not. The result is drastically limited range on rear satellites whether you like it or not. I have confirmed this with a number of other forums such as winamp and hydrogenaudio etc with numerous sound cards and speaker sets. I'm sure its not such a big probelm to fix with Windows KB. PS. related to many other forum members I have helped out in this regard please do something in the next release to make "speaker fill" set to default "on". ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

This is a function of the sound device driver. It should be directed to the
sound device manufacture. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] "Slythe" wrote Uhm yeah im not sure how to actively suggest something to the error-fixing people of Microsoft but I have a bug of sorts to report - When using 5.1 speaker configuration the option under audio configuration of full-range satellites does not appear to work for rear satellites whether enabled or not.

No the thing is i'm using the ac'97, another poster used a creative card and
still i've seen other complaints with X-Fi and many other cards, (a microsoft phone rep confirmed this with me and told me to post it as a suggestion here) this is not card-specific...

Even though it's happening on different cards and audio devices, I still believe it's a function of the driver for that device. Creative has been horrible in getting working drivers for their cards. As an example I have an old Audigy sound card. I was in the TechBeta for Vista. One of the early creative drivers worked in one of the Beta releases and gave me 4.1 surround sound. Subsequent drivers and Vista releases it was very unstable, in one case causing a BSOD, and lost the surround sound. The creative drivers still don't provide it, for any of their cards, that I am aware of, and it's a creative driver problem. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

Yeah well the thing is I now know of four different manufacturers having
this problem, Realtek, Creative, Montego and Sabrent. It can only be the OS because almost all work in 7.1 mode properly. Its probably 1 wrong line of code that doesn't enable full range in the rear. How do I get this straight to someone who can do something about it rather than ranting in forums?! I have moaned and pleaded in the forums of winamp, thetechguy, hydrogenaudio and thevistaforums, the general consensus is that the rear speakers sound awful and that a tiny bug is to blame... Updating drivers does jack-all and I need some real help here! But thanks for posting anyway... |

If the confirm it's a bug they don't charge you for the support call. Here are some options in reporting it. http://support.microsoft.com/gp/contactbug http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?WS=Wish https://support.microsoft.com/common...-US%26q%3dwish -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |
