Hello all,

I'm brand new here so apologies for coming straight to the point!
I have just got a set of Creative P580 5.1 surround speakers and an Audigy 2 sound card, trouble is only two want to work at the moment....I have the latest drivers installed and the right config set in control panel........any tips?
 
Your Audigy 2 has (4 or 5) outputs, and only one or two of them (depending on the model) will provide the surround sound, try swithcing from the digital lines to the analog (on the internal hardware) see if that works....then you might check the speaker diagnostics and speaker settings dialog boxes that came with your Creative software....you might just have it set to the wrong speaker formation (6.1 instead of 5.1 or something)
 
Thanks for the tip, turns out this happens quite regularly with the P580, I think it was the drivers that come with the card which were wiggy, I went to the creative site and downloaded the latest drivers and that seemed to do the trick!

Thanks again,
