Hi. I just bought Roccat Kave today, and i can't use the desktop remote. Do i need to install the cd provided to use the remote? I tried to install the cd but the autorun cannot be played. Somehow, when the mic mute button is pressed, the led at the mic did change from no led to blue led, and the power led is on, but other button cannot be played. Thanks.

I tried restart the computer, and now the remote works.
But there is no vibration.
I tried changing the eq on the remote, but nothing happens. Like when i adjust the front speaker to 0%, the headphone mute, and when i change it to 100%, the sound is max. But when i change the centre, rear, and subs, nothing happen.
I tried opening two games simultaneously (ragnarok and cs), the result is: Cs can be muted when i adjust the front speaker to 0%, and ragnarok can be muted when i adjust the centre speaker to 0%. Changing rear and subs had no effect.
Is my eq on computer wrong? I set it to 5.1 already.

QUOTE(GundamManiac @ Jun 9 2010, 11:05 PM) Nemesis, try out the settings in the previous few pages in this thread, especially if you are using Creative sound cards. I had the no vibration problem in the beginning too, but now it works super. That's the problem. I really don't know much on how to set the setting, and i only use onboard sound cards. I think i didn't set my pc setting to 5.1 yet, because when i adjust the eq on the remote desktop, only changing front panel got changes. The other centre, rear and subs did't change my output sound. Any idea on how to change it to 5.1 system? Thanks.

Em, i don't know what brand of soundcard mine is, but my mobo is ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO brand.
How to check my soundcard brand?
And all connect all 3 jacks and 1 mic jack.

QUOTE(GundamManiac @ Jun 10 2010, 06:35 PM) Should be a Realtek sound card. Regardless of how bad the sound is, it should still be able to produce surround sound. Can you test if the rear speakers are working? Connect the second and third 3.5mm jacks (Orange and Black) to the front channel output (Green) and see got sound or not. Yes got sound when connect the second and third 3.5mm jacks (Orange and Black) to the mobo channel output (Green). But no sound when connect the jack to their corresponding colour. Is that mean i didn't set it to 5.1 yet?

QUOTE(TDUEnthusiast @ Jun 10 2010, 08:26 PM) Set it to 5.1 and see if it works  . By the way Green is for front, while the black is the sub and orange the rear speakers if I'm not mistaken. Is the setup for 5.1 like this? control panel>>hardware and sound>>sound>>playback>>speaker>>configure>>5.1 surround

No, it didn't work. When i unplug the green jack, no sound is produced. Is that mean it still in 2.1 mode? Luckily it still produces sound, i can burn in the kave while trying to configure it. Is there any setting i didn't change yet? Actually i bought 5.1 speaker abt 2 weeks ago, and still can't put it to 5.1. Really don't know how to set sound system in pc lol

I just tried using the demo in the kave cd, and everything is perfect! Vibrations are there, and so does the 5.1 system. It seems like my music are the problems, lol.
Thanks for the help. Really appreciated it.
Btw, do you have any sample music that has 5.1 surround sound? I didn't feel any vibrations when playing music. Thanks.
