    Hello there!

    So, I bought the Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers the other day, I've plugged everything correctly (3 jacks 3.5) to my PC motherboard MSI B450 and technically should support up to 7.1.

    I also updated all drivers (even uninstalled and reinstalled), but when I test the 5.1, only the 2 front speakers give feedback.

    2 weird things:

    1. System recognise the audio played (when testing the speakers green bar enlightes but no sound gets played by the Central, Subwoofer and Rear speakers);
    2. When playing music, movies or anything else, all speakers work but clearly not in 5.1, instead as a stereo.

    This is what I mean on point 1) "system recognise the audio" - as you can see to the left, the audio actually gets played in the system, but nothing comes out of the speakers (except when testing the frontal ones L and R):

    Testing 5.1 - Audio gets played in sytem, but can't her anything (except when testing frontal ones)

    I'm attaching below the pics of my plugs (Green in L-Out = Front Speakers; Black in RS-Out = Rear Speakers; Orange (more Pink actually) in CS-Out = Central/Subwoofer Speakers - to the left there's the SS-Out that is for Side Speakers but it's for 7.1).

    My OS is Windows 10 pro, up to date.

    I believe the problem is either in the system or the drivers, but as far as I know, I tried everything.

    Someone suggested me to buy a soundboard, but honestly I want to avoid that for 2 reasons:

    1. My mobo apparently should support 5.1 (and 7.1) so I want to freaking fix this problem, not avoid it;
    2. Since the problem might be in the system or drivers, buying a soundboard might not avoid it, instead it might create new ones.

    Did anyone have my same problem? Is there any actual fix?

    Thanks for any support!

    Cheers

    Normally with UAD Realtek onboard sound you would set to "Stereo" setting on Realtek Audio Console , and use "3D Stereo" console setting in Z906, to obtain sound on all 5 speakers.
    I use this method on Z906 speakers.

    I would think this is the same for a sound card .

    Ordinary internet music available does not allow for 5.1 sound. There are web sites however specialiasing in bespoke digital and 5.1 film track and pop music extracts, which I have experimented with.

    The distortion might be too high sound setting on Z906 Logitech console.

    Using the analog 5.1 shouldnt be a issue but even with it turned on 2.1 this is what happens. Everything works fine using analog both through motherboard and my old xfi fatality card

    Logitech Z906 5.1 NOT working on Windows 10 (MSI B450 mobo)

    USB C issues with B450 Tomahawk Max mobo

    Since I have my new pc I have constant issues with using USB devices especialy usb c on B450 Tomahawk Max mobo.

    My SD card reader usb c type keeps connecting and disconnecting (I replaced it same issue and it works on another laptop). Some times the mouse and keyboard stops working and I have to reboot to make it work again.

    So far I tried the following:

    - updating bios to v37 (from v35) with cmos clear

    - BIOS settings/advanced/wake up even setup/resume by usb device: enable

    - Stop Windows From Powering Off Your USB Devices

    - Reinstalled Nvidia studio drivers and AMD (chipset etc.)

    - Switched to Windows high performance under energy instead of Amd Ryzen power balanced.

    - deleting usb drivers in device manager but no fix after reboot

    My pc build

    AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Wraith Boxed

    MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX

    Gigabyte geforce gtx 1650

    NZXT H510

    Crucial Ballistix bl2 qvl listed

    Corsair CX450M
