Chaintech 7.1 Sound Card

[forumJunkie]

Ok so I got this card right, the Chaintech 7.1, and I bought it together with CREATIVE INSPIRE T7700 7.1 SPEAKERS....

However, I'm having serious problems. I was told not to use the drivers from the CD so I went to the viaarena website and downloaded the ENVY drivers from there. I set it to 7.1 channel but I don't get any sound from both side speakers.

Another funny thing is when I go to the test, and push on the side speaker to see if its receiving a signal and the REAR speakers play. When I push on the rear speaker, there is no sound whatsoever.... Anyone have any suggestion on how to remedy this problem??

Yeap, I've tried the drivers on the CD and that just ruined everything haha so I did a system restore and I'm back to square one.

Bt it is upsetting when you bought 7 and can only listen to 5 :frown:
