Three 2.1 Systems

I have recently aquired 2 more sets of Logitech Z-2200's on top of the set I already had. I got them for nothing so please don't just tell me to sell them and buy a real system(I can't they don't belong to me, only on loan).


Now here is my question, I have an Audigy II ZS in my HTPC for gaming purposes and I would like to set these systems up as a suround sound setup. Now when I go into the Creative THX console and setup select the 6.1 option and plug in the speaker set's accordingly to the back of the card I get REALLY low volume on all speakers and sub's other than the Front Left and Front Right and according Sub.

Is there any way to connect this setup and have normal matches volume throughout all 6 speakers and 3 sub's? Through a 3'rd party driver or application? I have been google'ing for weeks now and have yet to find anything helpful.

I Thank you for your help and LOVE this forum... top knotch

Every channel pair has its own volume controller. The controllers are hidden somewhere in your software.

Yeah but all volume's are maxed except for the overall system volume yet the front left, right are about 3 times louder than anything else, the other two sub's barely even expand.

This is a silly question but have you checked the volume controls of your speakers?

Yeah, thats how I have been compensating, I need the volume on the rear and centers to be maxed in order to equal the output of the front at about 5%.

The Soundblaster Live! has a setting which increases the gain of the front two channels by a few decibels (10dB IIRC). It's possible that your Audigy has a similar setting. I don't recally how to switch it off in Windows, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Maybe Google will help.
