XP and Sound Blaster Live Value

When I boot my computer, I do not get any sound from my rear speakers until I run the little 4 speaker test utility provided for the sound card (the one where a voice comes out of each spaker individually). As soon as the test initializes, the rear speakers work and keep on working without any problems. I am running the new XP version of the utility program. This problem started out of nowehere. Does anyone have any ideas? Anth

Have you gone into the Windows sound control (located in the Control Panel) and told it you have 4 speakers?

SB Live! site has updates for it for the Audio HQ and for another section which I forget. :( Also MS own Upgrade site has another upgrade for SB Live! so go there too.

>Anth Yep, go to www.soundblaster.com for upgrades, AND MS Upgrade site as it also has some upgrades. They work fine for me and I have Soundblaster 1024 Live! and the Creative Labs surround speakers to go with it. Good luck
