[Solved] HT Omega & Neo:PC 5.1 Upmix
After a recent new build—my first in nearly 5 years of random upgrades to my old PC—I decided to forego the customary Creative sound card for something of higher quality. I would have just used my Audigy ZS2 Platinum with this build but the evil folks at Creative don't care about the promises of decent Vista drivers they made when I bought the card. So far I've been happliy using it on my workstation at work with the kX Drivers, which are small, solid and have very flexible DSP access.
After reading many favorable reviews I got the HT Omega Striker 7.1, it sounds great but I have a few issues.
My first is that I can't get the Neo:PC upmix to work. I've set the System Input to 2ch and the analog Output Mode to 6ch. I clicked the Neo:PC button in the DSP panel but I'm not hearing anything out of the rear or center speakers. Only the subwoofer is outputting anything and this is because the speakers have a low-pass filter sending everything below a certain frequency to the sub.
I've tested the speakers using the windows utility and each speaker is plugged in correctly and works.
The other DSP effects have only worked on occasion and I've not ruled out why they do not work.
If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful!
