Help with Speakers

RevengE · Feb 24, 2009, 03:53 AM

hello everyone I just bought a set of Logitech X-240s for a cheap set of speakers for now and i cannot get them to work, in test mode it sends sound through the speakers and than when I get on the internet or play a game i have no sound. Its extreamly annoying, anyone know what to do?

Did you switch to a digital connection?

Mussels · Feb 24, 2009, 04:25 AM

what connection uses those speakers, and did you remember to set them as default audio device in windows?

RevengE · Feb 24, 2009, 04:57 AM

How do you go about doing that?

HossHuge · Feb 24, 2009, 05:16 AM

Did you change your sound card as well? Did you try the speakers with something else..(ex -mp3 player)

RevengE · Feb 24, 2009, 05:21 AM

No no sound card it's on board.

Are you using Vista?

1. Make sure mini 3.5 connector is plugged into the lime green on the back of motherboard.
2. Goto START, Control Panel, And click on Sound
3. Make sure Speakers is checked under the Playback Tab
4. Click on Speakers and click Properties and make sure at the bottom of the general tab where it has Device Usage, it says Use this Device(Enable)

And make sure u r not using the hdmi for sound.

If ur using soundMax make sure it is set to stereo.

RevengE · Feb 24, 2009, 06:12 AM

it was in hdmi before so is that how I switch it?

95Viper · Feb 24, 2009, 06:17 AM

you should see the option in the control panel sound windows where it might be checked.
Same place as speakers.

You know, come to think of it;if, your monitor has an headphone output you might be able to plug the speakers in there-with hdmi on.

RevengE · Feb 24, 2009, 06:42 AM

i am using soundmax when i test them using soundmax it plays it both speakers..right now in sounds it says ATI HD audio Rear output

HossHuge · Feb 24, 2009, 06:45 AM

I think you need to change the outputs in the control panel (sound) to the onboard sound chip from HDMI.

95Viper · Feb 24, 2009, 06:48 AM

I have no idea I was running this in HDMI but since i got my new monitor i am assuming its still in HDMI somehow but I cant find anywhere to change it.

HossHuge · Feb 24, 2009, 06:55 AM
