I have Windows XP Media Center 2005, a Creative X-Fi sound card connected to
a Logitech 5.1 surround sound speaker system using Sonicâ??s Cineplay DS
VideoDecoder 4.0 version 4.0.0.46 as verified by Windows SP Video Decoder
checkup Utility. The utility has a green check mark under MCE Compatible.
When I play a DVD through Media Player 11, I can hear sound through all 6
speakers perfectly. When I play the same DVD through the Media Center, I am
getting only stereo (sound through 2 speakers and I believe the sub-woofer).
I have played with the audio setting in Media Center â?? setting it to 5.1 in
the general settings MCE Setup, of course that wonâ??t work, so Iâ??ve also tried
the registry update that Aaron has suggested since MC Rollup 2 appears to
affect the registry entries and not accessed again the general setup in the
audio setting of Media Center to the 5.1 speaker setting. Iâ??ve tried
rebooting after various changes, but I cannot get the sound from the 5
speakers, yet it works correctly in Media Player 11.
Is this normal? What am I missing here.
