Your sound card still thinks its hooked up to a set of stereo speakers, mkae sure to tell it, its 5.1 now. maybe?

if you have a 5.1 soundcard or audigy then you need to set the speakers to 5.1 in the mixer!
sounds like it's set to the default 2 speaker setup.

it's already set to 5.1 speakers in the sound and audio devices panel. where am i supposed to plug the cable with the orange head?

my sound card is sb live digital 5.1.
