Speakers

[imported_K_Shizzle]

I have recently bought some Creative Inspire P7800 7.1 speakers. But I can only get five and the subwoofer to work. There are four wires that plug into the sub and three that plug into the onboard sound of my mobo. I think the problem may be I need another plug going into my mobo (there is a spot for it).

So if that is right do you know where I could get an eight plug wire, four on each side. I have looked but couldn't find them.

But if I am wrong can you give me some advice.

*My mobo does support 7.1 (gigabyte pro-sli)

Re: Speakers

Have you changed the setting in "Control Panel > Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices > Sound and Audio Devices > (Under Speaker Settings) Advanced" to either '7.1 home theater speakers' or '7.1 wide configuration speakers'?

Re: Speakers

I heard about this probleme in the newegg reviews section when you buy these speakers they dont come with a 7.1 cable...you need to order a cable for true 7.1 to work all 7 speakers..

Re: Speakers

Yeah, thats what I sort of came to. But I have no idea where to get one, I have searched newegg, but I couldn't find one. I probably just wasn't using the right technical name

Do any you know where I could find a 7.1 cable. 8 plugs total, 4 at each end.

Re: Speakers

Dunno if you can get it at newegg but im sure if you go to some electronic or sound audio store and ask them for a 7.1 cable for your speakers they will probably have it...

Re: Speakers

Re: Speakers

Re: Speakers

Well, I went to Radioshack and they were clueless. I am just going to send an email to customer support (creatives is ridiculusly slow) and go to best buy and ask them
