Problem with Advanced Speaker Settings


Recommended Posts

I have a 5.1 plug and play speaker setup and am running Windows XP. Oftentimes I notice my rear speakers are not functioning, and upon going to Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Speaker Settings>Advanced I find that my speaker setup has been changed to 'Desktop Speakers', rendering my rear speakers useless. Changing to 5.1 Surround makes everything function well, but it seems that this issue occurs on a daily basis.

I don't know if its a program thats doing this or whats going on, but is there any way I can prevent my speaker settings from being changed?

The "surround sound" effect is only produced if the sound source is of that type. Are you meaning that a surround sound game/film or whatever is rendered as plain stereo?

What sound card do you have?
