Troubleshooting 16
Troubleshooting
Problems with Multiple Audio Devices
The onboard audio chipset seems to be in conflict with Sound Blaster
Wireless Transmitter.
Disable your notebook's onboard audio chipset. See your notebook's
motherboard documentation for details
Problems with Sound
No sound from the headphones.
Check that the headphones are connected to the Headphone/Line Out jack.
No audio output when playing digital files such as .WAV, MIDI files or
AVI clips.
Check the following:
The powered speakers or external amplifier are turned on and connected to
the audio device’s Headphone jack.
The speakers' volume control knob, if any, is set at mid-range.
There is no hardware conflict between the card and a peripheral device.
Problems with Wireless Features
The wireless connection does not seem to work.
Do the following:
Check that your transmitter and your paired devices are turned on, and your
transmitter’s wireless features are enabled. If not, see “Using the Wireless
Features” on page 11.
In case of configuration issues, you can fully reset your wireless system by
clicking the Reset all Zones button in the Sound Blaster Wireless Control
Panel, and then manually pair your receivers again.
Troubleshooting 17
The receivers seem to be picking up extra noise, or there are
intermittent pauses.
The position of your Sound Blaster Wireless devices as well as signals from
other wireless routers or Bluetooth equipment may affect the quality of the
transmissions.
Try the following:
In the Sound Blaster Wireless Control Panel, change the RF Channel from
Auto to either Ch 1, 2 or 3.
Place your transmitter and receivers closer to each other. Use the extension
cradle for more flexibility in placing your transmitter.
Place your transmitter away from other devices that transmit wireless
signals, and away from large metal surfaces.
Reposition your devices so that there are fewer objects (for example,
multiple walls or large metal structures) between them.
Set your wireless LAN router's channel to Auto, 1 or 11. To do this, refer to
your router's user documentation.
Refrain from doing large file transfers via the wireless internet or Bluetooth
connection while you are streaming music. Alternatively, stop streaming
music during intensive file transfers.
NOTE
Refer to your receiver’s documentation for more tips on
troubleshooting wireless features.
