5.1 Vista

How would a small 10 watt amp handle?

I am sure its reasonably priced.


This seems like a stretch, but I was wondering, can I hook 5.1 TV Speakers, to my current set up? Or a stereo.


Thanks.

10W? I dont think they even made a 10W amplifier for a stereo, the ones you usually find are anywhere from 400W to 1000W.
 
I got them to work, I had to enable Speaker Fill.

Now music plays on all of the speakers. Though in games and movies, all the speakers worked.



Thanks.
 
That's all it usually is a simple setting if the application for the sound doesn't need a reinstall. 10w for a stereo would likely be seen with those old cheapies stereo system where the turn table, am/fm receiver, and casstte deck were all rolled up into one package with the worst speakers made! The dept. stores were noted for those.

I have the exact same problem you are talking about. I have the logitech z5500's and after installing vista I just can't get all the speakers to play under 6 channel direct setting, even though all the speakers test properly under the creative console.

I have been searching for a solution all over the internet, and all people keep telling me is "oh.. music is only 2.1".. which is bs because I used to play all six channels in EVERYTHING on XP. FINALLLLLY I might have a solution.

I am not at home right now, but could you tell me where exactly the setting was for "Enable Speaker fill"?

Microsoft obviously! :P http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925901

The enhancement tab in the speakers properties screen is where to find the check box to enable or uncheck to disable that option in WMP 11.
