How do I enable all four speakers?

[BCompDude]

I have a Shuttle SS51G that has built in 5.1 surround capabilities. I have my speakers hooked up correctly and yet I can not listen to all four of my satellites when I listen to music. How can I do this? And yes I know that it won't be true surround sound, the same thing through all speakers, I just like it loud. Thanks much.

What OS?

Either way i think its the same...

Go to control panel, Open up the Volume Control/Audio (you know what i mean)

Click Speakers.. and then it should let u pick the type of setup...

And show a nice lil drawing..

good Luck...

I have Windows XP Home Edition and I have my speaker selection set at 5.1 surround in the control panel. . .no go. Any other suggestions? I know it can be done .

what about this make sure all your speaker volumes are set to max as win xp does tend to mute them

start/ control panel /sound speach/adjust the system volume/advanced/options/properties/check all boxes and un mute them all
set them to max then try seeing if they now work

hope this helps
