hello!
I have a question concerning the sound codec used in alot of motherboards, the ac`97 codec. Using the newest drivers, I have been unable to get my 5 speaker (2 front, 2 rear, 1 sub) setup to work. Even with the outputs set as 'Rear Speakers' and 'Front Speakers' I can only get my 2 front and sub to work. Has anyone else ever had a problem with this? Is there some trick I do not know? I know onboard sound (other than nforce2) is shotty, but it is advertised as being able to handle a 5.1 speaker setup. Perhaps the actual jack on my motherboard, Asus A7V8X, is screwed.
Thanks!

did you change it to quadrophic, or 5.1 in the advanced sound setup? if not you'll never get the sound to work besides the normal 2 speaker stereo.
