How are you pluuging, analog or digital cables?

Did you go into the soundcard control panel / mixer panel to tell it how many speakers you have?

What is the soundcard, what are the speakers, what cables are you using now, how many did you connect?

For 3 analog miniplugs did you make sure to match up the color-coding and/or read the soundcard documentation to see which soundcard ports to use?

Does the 5300 set have a digital connection?

If you're listening to music to test your center, the normal setting would be that it wouldn't work. Are you using a 5.1 source like a DVD or a game to test your speakers? (Or better yet, the speaker testing program)

twitchee2, make sure you have 5.1 selected in your A2 control panel and windows sound control too.

You need to change your setting on your A2 card to get two channel sources to come out all your speakers.

CMSS is a setting that will do this. There may also be a setting for stereo to be expanded to all your speakers.
