Having problem - ADA 890....

[arielbn]

Hello !
I bought recently Altec lansing ADA 890 speakers and i Have some problems with them.
i have connected the rear and front analog cables and also the digital cable to my Audigy 2 soung card.
There are different modes in these speakers ( stereo, stereoX2, prologic, quad, Dolby Digital).

I have two main problems
- When I play songs or watching movies with my computer In Dolby Digital mode, I barely hear sound from the rear spekers.
but when I changed the mode to quad mode, I heard good sound.
When I play songs or watching movies with my computer In Dolby Digital mode, sometimes there isn't sound at all from the rear speakers, and when I changed to another mode it sounded good.

- When I am doing a channel test with the program that came with the sound card (audigy 2) there isn't sound from the rear speakers with Dolby digital mode and when i changed the mode to quad mode there was a sound when I did the channel test with the audigy 2 program .

someone with Audigy 2 card and ADA 890 speakers can tell me what should I do ???

thank u very much

You should post this again in the windrivers support forums under sound cards. You need someone who has experience in this type of setup, which I do not, but the people that do use the support forums.

Scroll down to Sound Card Drivers and you should be good to go.

Again, give as much info as possible. You gave quite a bit...but missing which version of Windows you're using. Also, if you have an exact part number or model number of your sound card. Lots of good folks there will help you out.

And, Good Luck!

While we're already on the subject, you can download your Installation Manual for your AltecLansing Speakers here. (http://www.altecmm.com/support_downloads.asp?section=2) It might have something obvious in there that you're missing.

The Audigy 2 sound card is actually made by Creative Labs...go here for their downloads. (http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/) Select Sound Blaster, then 24-bit Advanced, then your correct model number. You should be able to find your latest drivers and also installation manuals, user's guides, etc. for download.
