I picked up a set of Inspire 5700 speakers last night. Maybe not the best choice since I saw a nice Sony Home Theatre setup at FutureShop last night for about $20 more... oh well. :)

Anyhow, upon connecting the speakers with the DIN plug (make sure to get the cable going the right direction, cause it doesn't seem to work otherwise), I tried the "Test" option in the AudioHQ speaker setup. The only speakers actually outputting anything were the front left and right. Centre, and surround speakers had nothing.

Outside of AudioHQ, the speakers work fine. Letting the 5700's decoder handle the dolby for the matrix DVD worked perfectly (no voice track with the live 5.1 decoding, not sure why) all speakers worked. Anybody else have similar findings?

There is a check box to enable digital output. Also, make sure you select "5.1 speakers" for your speaker type.

Edit: Also, do you have the 5.1 version of the SB Live?

Sorry, forgot to mention that yes, it is infact the Live 5.1 (it's in the title. :) )

Digital Output is enabled, and speaker type is set to 5.1.
