I have a gigabyte 965P-DS3 motherboard and it has built in surround sound, was well as two digital sound inputs - coaxial and optical.
My problem is that no matter which one I choose (coax/opt) I can only get the front 2 speakers on my system to work. I have a 7.1 Home theatre system and my TV, Xbox360 and DVD player are hooked up to the reciever for via optical cable, and on those devices the surround sound works perfectly, every speaker is active, but when I hook up my PC to my reviever only the front right and left speaker work.
If it helps this is my sound system:

So does anyone have any idea what I have to do to actually get surround sound of this thing?
And yes I have tried this with Soundcards and I still get the same results, I only get audio from my 2 front speakers.
