Hi all

Can't get my rear 4.1 cambridge speakers to work. The 2.1 works fine.
When i try to open the Realtek panel it comes up with an error and
won't open. Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance

It is my understanding that surround sound is not yet implemented in
Realtek's Vista HD audio drivers. So 2.1 is all you will get until new
drivers are released. Your post doesn't indicate whether your have
Realtek HD or AC97, but I suspect there also is no surround capability
yet for AC97.

As to the Real HD Audio Manager (aka Control Panel) crashing. I had the
same isssue with both Beta 2 and RC1 after installing the NAativrv01
device driver. I had to delete both the NAativrv01 device and its driver
from the device manager and reinstall the Realtek Vista beta HD driver
pack to get the control panel to run again. So my advice is to make sure
you have the latest Vista beta drivers from Realtek and that there are
no conflicting multimedia/audio devices installed.

my realtek and my friends realtek did the same thing.
reload your mb drivers for your realtek sound.
then setup your speakers in your realtek setup program.
after that ms update will update you with a new ms sound driver
but your realtek soundman should still be working.
surround is working fine in games, music and movies.
after you get the ms audio driver update check your realtek setup
then go to ms control panel and setup sound and you should be good to go.
this has worked on a old 600 series realtek and a new 800 series realtek and
seems to be a bug or omission in the sound driver setup.
