Z5500 + X-Fi = No Center Channel?!

[MrBobHerzog]

My center channel was working with my onboard sound, but has stopped working with my Creative X-Fi. Am I missing something obvious? I'm in Analog mode, and have picked 5.1.

If your center speaker fails the Creative speaker test, I would think it might be loose wires.

It did fail the test, i could hear neither the sub or the center, but when I switch to music mode, and I play music, my sub is working. but not when in game mode...

Dude, you were right...somehow while switching from my old on board sound to my new, the connectors in the back of my control box came loose for base and center. I checked everywhere else, but somehow I missed that obvious one. One odd thing is that I though I had base, that means those lil speakers were bumpin out the base, OR there was enough of a connection for the base to work. Anyway, good call. Im re-installing drivers right now (yea dule core!)
