Asus A8N-SLI & Onboard Sound & 5.1 Center/Sub Speakers Issues

[Geforcer]

I've installed the latest drivers, and my Center and Sub speakers will go through the setup wizard fine, working. Click done, and try to play music or games, and nothing comes out of the Center at all. Sub will work, but it's not being controlled by the sub volume in the NVMixer. It turns off when I turn down my front/rear speakers. It's obviously software side issues because like I said before, It'll play fine though the speaker setup wizzard. Anyone have any ideas?

Speakers are Logitech Z5300.

Centre speakers on 5.1 surround sound setups will only work when what you are playing is a surround sound source. With MP3s et al, the "LEFT" channel will go to the left hand speakers, and the RIGHT to the right. What would expect to go to the centre... left or right?

The answer is neither, it is meant to be off unless what you are playing is a 5.1 source, like a movie or a game.

You COULD always tell Creative they suck by getting an M-Audio card. They have drivers that arent crap, and support most everything the Audigy does.
