Surround sound won't work with World of Warcraft

[Guest]

Hi all,

Hope someone can help me. I just hooked up my new Logitec x-530 speakers
(5.1) to my P4 3Ghz pc (1GB RAM) and though other programs are recognizing
the new surround set-up, World of Warcraft isn't! Seeing as that's mainly
what I bought them for, I'm not happy.

I have a RealTek HD sound card with the latest driver updates. I'm getting
the feeling I'm going to have to reinstall WoW to get it to work probably,
which is going to take a loooong time because of the patches and add-ons I'll
have to reinstall as well.

If anyone can advise what I can do to get this working, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks,
d.

Hi deevil,

Have you examined all the possible in game sound settings
to see if you can convince WoW to recognise your x-530's?

Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for resonding. Yep, but the sound options in WoW are pretty basic.
Basically all you can change are sound effect and music volumes (and probably
a few more things I can't recall off the top of my head). I've checked all
the interface menus as well and nothing there either.

Hmmm.

You have set your speakers to 5.1 in windows xp have you not ??

I know mine a few times witch to Stereo for some reason. Got to keep
checking every now and again to see and switch it back.
