Creative Inspire 5.1 (5300)

[Drewness]

I have those speakers w/ a Sound Blaster Live 5.1...latest drivers i dl'ed from their website. When i play music or play games the middle speaker doesnt work but when i go test them out in the Creative Surround Mixer...they all work including my middle speaker. I have Win.2k...Athlon XP 2700+ and K7N2G mobo. Ne1 kno how to fix that?

Just a guess, but do you have a DVD rom on your computer? The center speaker usually won't do much unless you have a sound input that makes use of the center speaker as in a Dolby 5.1 audio signal. I think you can configure your soundblaster to make the speaker work, but that still won't be surround sound that the center spreaker was designed for. It always helps in the forum to fill out your computer profile.
