I have Realtek speakers-4+bass-but only 2 are working. (Vista) I used to CLICK on the speaker icon at the bottom and open controls to activate all the speakers but now I don't see that-only volume controls and nothing to select how many channels playback. Nothing in the control PANEL either. Help?Not familiar with Vista HOWEVER i assume that it will be similar to XP. Go into "control panel" and select "sound and audio devices". From within that you should be able to access the options to affect the changes you seek from your audio device. truenorthCorrect Vista drivers installed for the device ? ?Probably these: http://majorgeeks.com/Realtek_High_Definition_Audio_for_VistaWin_7_d5513.html
If you R-Click the speaker icon and don`t get access to the control-panel I THINK Com-Commando is right.
I have DriverMax installed.With this program it`s very EASY to update/install drivers.When you use the freeware version you can do 2 a day,when you pay...all you want...
I love the program,I hope I`ve been of some help.
