If the file is an mp3, thats why. mp3 doesn't support 5 channels, at least yet anyway. AAC supports 5.1. But it should still play the left and right channels through the rest of the speakers though.

This probably doesn't answer your question. You can try this too if you have WinXp:

You want to go to Control Panel --> Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices --> Sound and Audio Devices --> Advanced (Under the title Speaker Settings) --> [Drop down menu] Speaker Setup --> 5.1 Speakers.

I am sure you've already done that though.

Other than that I dunno.

[Assertn]

Yeah I know, but usually software will take the left and right channels and copy them over to rear left and rear right, then mix them for center.

And yeah, I checked my system prefs.

[IFHTT]

Yeah it should just clone the R&L channels but for some reason it doesn't. I looked but I couldn't find any answer worth mentioning. I did see a lot of forum posts with the same question though none ever lasted long enough to get an answer... Do you necessarily have to use Itunes? Maybe find another player that supports it :S

i have 1 or 2 question about some part that i wanted to buy...

ok before you continue to read.. go there:
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p...2-LSR&class=mb

on the Product Specification it say this :
• Supports up to 3200+ processor or higher

what does it mean?, does it also suport older version like the 2500+ or 2800+? or do i need a 3200+ prossesor or higher to be able to use that mother board... i wanted to ask the technical support of it.. but.. its not for question..

It will support up to 3200+. Meaning anything below that will still work, as long is its the same socket type. So, for this board, as long as the processor is an amd and socket type A. Also, make sure the processor you use is FSB 266/333/400 MHz. As long as those to requirements are met, the processor you use should be just fine.

[BioAlien]

how can i know those info about my prossesor? i know it a Amd Athlon XP 2800+, but i don't know about the type A and FSB 266/333/400 MHz

edit: by using Everest home edition... i see CPU FSB... but... its only at 165.90mhz, is that normal?

Well, what's the current motherboard you are using the processor in? If you're lucky, it might have the same (or at least similar) processor specs. I forget if its there, but if you right click your my computer icon and hit properties, it might be somewhere there. I would look myself, but that function is locked on my work computer. In the hardware tab, you can select device manager. It might be in there.

[BioAlien]

click your my computer icon and hit properties,

found nothing there.. only the name of my prossesor is there..

In the hardware tab, you can select device manager.

not there either...

also, here a pic of Everest..



my actual mother board is... this one
http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l...20&modelmenu=1

i think they need the same thing.. but check by yourself.. to be sure(why didn't i think of that first.. looking at my old mother board spec.. lol)


also another question about the Board i want to buy...

• Supports six memory banks using three 184-pin DDR DIMMs
•
Support Dual channel PC3200/2700/2100/1600 DDR SDRAMs

so i can have 3 memory stick, 2 in dual Channel and 1 normal?

I'm trying to find a place where I can download this movie using bit torrent. I tried torrentspy and a few other places, but I can't find it anywhere. If anyone knows of a place that has it, it would be cool if you told me. (it's sort of a project for my school)

This section of the forums is General DISCUSSION. As in, not a 'where can i find this?' section. You can post such requests in General Support or the Help Me thread. Making an entire thread on this is unnecessary.

If you cant beat them then JOIN them.

[rockmanj]

If you cant beat them then JOIN them.

not only do i not know what that means, i also DON"T want to. I figured out what to do...i just picked them up and moved them out of the way (they're all very small)

[Mr Squiggles]

You shouldn't pick up little girls... that's a crime. Go for the ones around your age.

[rockmanj]

...Oh, how droll. Geez

it's only a crime if he gets caught, though i'm not trying to encourage people to do so, least i wouldn't.

My fucking computer is giving me a hard time. I show it nothing but love and this is how it repays me. It took me like 2-3 hours to even get it started today. It keeps rebooting right when windows is starting up. And sometimes when windows has been running for a while.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? My guess is that i have some fucked hardware but don't have any idea what it could be.

[Ryllharu]

I'm assuming you are running XP.

For starters, reboot, go into safe mode, and in the command prompt or Run window, run "CHKDSK /R" [without quotes] (or /F but /R is more comprehensive since it implies /F) it will ask you to reboot since it needs exclusive access to the entire hard drive contents. Agree and reboot. It will take a very long time depending on how full your hard drive is (with what I've got, it took 2-3 hours). If it can fix any problems on its own, it will.

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago, and it turned out I had a corrupted .tmp file somewhere.

If that doesn't do it, you either got viruses, or its something else I don't know how to fix.

If your computer is randomly restarting it can be due to a number of reasons.

1) The first thing I would do would be to check the CPU temperature in the bios. 55c+ is usually when you should begin to worry with your processor. If it's too high, you can try blowing the dust out, and if that doesn't help you should reseat the heatsink or get better airflow in your case. An overheating processor will cause your computer to randomly restart or freeze once it reaches a certain point.

2) The next thing I would check is the RAM. A few months ago my friend added some new RAM in his computer, but it conflicted with the RAM he already had and was causing data to corrupt, thus freezing and restarting his computer at random. There is a program called Memtest 86 that you can make a bootable floppy with and test your RAM. If it fails any of the tests then your RAM is bad. And yes, it can just stop working properly "just like that."

3) Run virus/spyware check and clear anything it finds out.

4) Check all the hardware in your computer and make sure everything is connected properly.

5) Re-format and reinstall your OS if all else fails. Once you reinstall the OS, if the problem still continues, then the problem is obviously with some piece of hardware.

There are tons of other reasons related to the OS that could cause it to restart, but I usually don't take the time to check for things like that. In the case that something is wrong with your OS, you should probably just reformat, anyway.

Have you added any new hardware recently?

I need help with my bittorent. Every file I try to download, no matter how much seeding it has, goes INCREDIBLY slow. Before the download speed went from 55kb to 60kb. Now it takes a huge amount of time to even connect. Same goes for Limewire. The only thing that I did out of the ordinary was downloading nonstop Bleach episodes these past two weeks through limewire (eps. 30 to the latest) since bittorent was being extremely slow. Any ideas?
