Hello all! I connected some stereo speakers to my PC (green line-out) and an amplifier and a subwoofer (orange center/sub) and i get sound only from the front speakers, but not the sub. I enabled 2.1/5.1/7.1 from the Creative sound panel but still nothing. The card is an X-fi Xtreme Music, the stereo speakers are Sony and are connected to a Aiwa NSX-R17 stereo, the sub is Pioneer and is connected to a Samsung L4A amp. Any ideas what to do?

Ok i have figured out that i need to switch center and sub, how the hell do i do that?I can put text here?! -
Re: X-fi Xtreme Music sub out not playing
Most PC sound cards use single mini-jack outputs instead of RCA*2 you'll find on amplifiers. To switch the subwoofer and center channel (which are both output to an output that is marked with an orange color, as opposed to the front speakers, which are marked with the color green) you will have to find that option in the driver software. Creative has pretty good control panel options on their X-Fi and later drivers. Unfortunately the drivers they post on their website usually have features cut out compared to the version on the driver CD's (e.g. my X-Fi XtremeGamer had the THX tuning center cut out). So install your drivers from the CD and check if the option exists.
If that is not possible you can use a work-around: get a mini-jack male to 2*RCA male converter cable, and a 2*RCA female to mini-jack cable and connect the red male RCA to the white female RCA.
I hope I was able to help, I'm actually pretty new to the BadCaps forum, but I have some experience with the software of Creative cards (having owned several, but switching to ASUS Xonar because of the decreasing design quality of latter Creative products).
If you have experience with caps and would like to help me out you can check out my thread here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...9&postcount=34 which is about repairing another Creative product.

I have rx-750 pioneer stereo and the stored radio stations in the memory does not stay in the memory very long.
Does anyone know where the memory is located in this stereo and how it is powered up?
It does not have a battery backup.
Does the memory use a capacitor for its power supply?
thank you -
so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!!
what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol! 
i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing... -
Hi Everyone,
After couple of hours playing a game i get blackscreen , i can still hear the sounds and i can move the character but the image doesnt come back until i reset the computer. I have tried running Furmark 1080p settings fullscreen for 7 hours and didnt encounter the same problem. It used to give me an error as driver not responding so i have installed only the driver itself and not the radeon software since than that message doesnt come up anymorre but i still have the same issue. Sometimes it happens after 30 mins gaming time , sometimes after 3 hours , sometimes even after... -
Hello all. I'll try to keep this short. I have no knowledge of electronics. I can use a multimeter and am familiar with caps to some extent. I bought a Kenwood KR-6030 vintage stereo. It need work and so I thought I would recap the thing since I get power to the on switch but nothing else is working. No lights, no sound and so forth. I went to Mouser to order caps and I find I am way over my head. I not only do not know the type of capacitors I need but Mouser and digikey do not accept Kenwood part numbers. I have the info such as 220uF 63v and such but no place to put it. I could buy a recap...

Hi.
I bought a Cheap HIFI to use as my PC output and speakers and forgot to check if it had an input. It doesn't.
Is there any way to add a stereo input. I have a bunch of Phono sockets I am not using.
Where in the circuit is the best place to solder the 3 stereo input wires?
This is the model and schematics:
