FSX doesn't play through rear speakers

Featured Replies

I have a 4.1 speaker setup running on Windows 7-64I can't get the rear speakers to play in FSXI configured Windows to play through all four speakers and can play music through all four speakers just fine.In FSX I have gone into the Sound Settings and selected the speakers I have.Any ideas?

I don't believe FSX is capable of surround sound. I have a 5.1 sound system on my computer, but FSX is limited to stereo (2.1). I have a button on my speaker controller which lets me activate the rear speakers for stereo sound, simulating surround sound.

If You have sound card capable of upconverting stereo to 4.1 , 5.1 or 7.1 speakers set, You will get the output in rear speakers. It won't be as good as native multiple channel sound, but much better than noneI use Asus Xonar D2/PM with ButtKicker Advanced plugged to central/LFE jack output and it works flawless

I was able to use a Y adaptor and plug the front/rear speakers into the adaptor. Works well enough.

If you're using one of the many motherboards that have a RealTek sound controller for onboard sound, you can map a copy of the front channel audio to the rear speaker jack with a registry setting as I described here:http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=284807RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO
