Surround sound won't work with World of Warcraft

External Since: Feb 24, 2006 Posts: 1

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.

Heye, I think I what you should do. Definitely do NOT reinstall WoW, as you stated earlier it is not worth it. I had the same problem for the longest time. But go to your Realtek manager, and take it off of 7.1 and put it to Stereo or Quadraphonic or 5.1 . I was previously put on 7.1 and I changed it to stereo and it worked, then quadraphonic and it worked and then 5.1 and it worked. Except my centerspeaker/sub woofer wouldn't work so it was basically quadraphonic. But that's the best you can get and I know it sucks especially if you went all out and got a 7.1 setup, but it is better than stereo.
