A7N8X-Dlx Ver 2.0
1007 BIOS
WinXP Home
nVidia 3.13 UD
Logitech Z-640 Speakers

I've been running this MoBo for a month now and comments here convinced
me to remove my SB Live 5.1 card and try the onboard sound. I removed
all the SB drivers/software and the card. After reboot I then
initialized the onboard sound in BIOS and installed the nVidia Drivers &
Utilities. I set things up for 6-speaker Analog output, according to
the manual. Ran the speaker wizard and then tested the set using the
Test Tone. The center speaker had a very muffled sound no matter what
setting I chose but the Sub seemed OK. If I re-run the wizard and
change the Center/Sub to operate using the Mic-In Jack and move the
cable there, things work perfectly. Any ideas, or do i probably have a
bad solder job!
TIA.

Rob

It is all fine, they are all like that. Creative just wire their speaker
system different to everybody else.

There is a fix for this that let you swap the centre/LFE (sub) channels
while keeping the jack plug in the correct socket.

This program is simple to use, it will take you no more than 10 secs to fix
it.

You can get the app here -->

Thanks. That got it going and frees up the Mic Jack for Voice
Recognition Software.
