help with my speakers
So, I've installed the Vista upgrade and so far everything seems to work just fine.*KNOCK ON WOOD* I love it by the way. The only thing I can't figure out are my speakers. I have the Logitech Z680 5 speaker surround sound, but now Vista only see 2 speakers. Can anyone help me set up my 5 speakers again?
Thanks.

I did that and the only option I have is the two speaker. It will not let me choose my 5.1 speakers.gchamilton

I have a similar problem. I have configured my sound card (soundblaster xfi) to 5.1 audio and although it passes the diagnostic test, when i listen to itunes, i hear no sound from the wireless satellite speaker. thoughts?Madcatsden

Windows now detects that speakers are plugged in. I think also that Windows will be able to tell if you have certain audio jacks plugged in so do make sure that you have the correct cables plugged into the correct jacks on your sound card. I'm speculating here but that might be the issue that you are running into.
Other than that, go to support.dell.com and download the latest sound drivers for your sound card.
Also, make sure you have all of your Windows Updates completed.
Let me know how it goes.andreychuk

I will have my husband do that for me and I will let you know how it went. Thank you for your help.- I am having something a little different happening. I get sound perfectly fine. When I play a DVD, I get all the sound and such, but I cannot hear anyone speaking.. it is very faint, or muted, but I can hear all the background noises fine. Also, if I play a music DVD, in otherwords, a live performance, then I can hear the speaking and singing fine. It is only when playing a move that I cannot hear vocals.Now this is strange to me..Any ideas ?Thanks !

Click the Start(Windows) > Click Control Panel > Double Click Sound > Select your speakers > Click Configure > Select 5.1 or whatever choice.
