Asus Xonar D2X + Edifier S550

[g_suresh_mps]

Hi friends,

I purchased and installed Xonar d2x and edifier s550 now i have few doubts

1. While playing mp3 audio track, Is it possible to get sound from rear and center speakers (only front and sub woofer are working )

2. While watching 5.1 Movies I am unable to hear voice loudly (rear speakers work with theater(like) feedback)

3. Suggest me the best Software + updates for my Xonar d2x So that i can get maximum out of my sound card

I use Gigabyte EX58UD3R Boards with 1st generation i7 920 processor 3*2 GB 1333 DDR3 ram.

Help me guyz Thanks in advance

If you use ffdshow then you can upped center speaker volume.

Thanks btw does it work for mp3 audio ?

from xonar console select dolby virtual speakers.Since mp3 are not coded for 5.1 channel you are facing such problem.
download k lite mega codec pack from go to ffdshow audio decoder tick mixer change output speaker configuration to dolby.then tick volume tab tick regain volume & show current volume.check dolby decoder.
tell me if this solves your problem.

do yo switch on flexi bass switch it off may be that is causing your rear speakers to have theatre like feedback.

Hello Have you fixed the problem?

Is it due to edifier limitations?

 

[g_suresh_mps]

No idea still i am unable to find a solution for this, some times if 7.1 virtual dolby is enabled i get sound from rear channels but not from center speaker

 

[Minion]

Then i think something is wrong with your speakers you should seriously consider RMA it.
May be you should contact their customer care.

 

[g_suresh_mps]

are You sure the problem is with speakers and not with Sound card ?

First make sure the center channel is working properly..
Check for loose connec., try switching center to front speakers...

@MegaMind

I took of all the connections and gave audio connections to my on board Realtek ALC888 ports and in the realtek audio panel i tested each and every speaker when i clicked i can hear sound from all speakers then i clicked on speaker fill option and played an mp3 song All speakers and sub woofer played the song so this implies there`s no problem in cable connection or speaker set

i tested the same with Xonar d2x with my humberger rechargable speaker connected 3.5 inch jack on front speaker mp3 song played, then i connected on all the other ports there is no sound from speakers I did this with 2 channel audio input and 6 channel audio input and output i selected 5.1 and 7.1 output in all of these operations only front out jack is working

when i enable 6 channel audio input and 7.1 virtual dolby decoder and rotate the virtual speakers on Xonar control center rear speakers some times play the mp3 song

So i have doubt in Xonar d2x`s performance

Please help me

another Issue when all jacks Front c/SW, rear(side) are connected on Xonar d2x and song is playing with full volume in windows volume mixer and 0 sound in edifier i can able to hear a very very volumed song on ALL Speakers that is playing on PC inspite of 0 volume in edifier ....

this is confusing me
