I'm using a soundblaster live! 5.1 sound card, and a klipsch promedia 5.1 speaker setup... all the connections are correct, and the Creative speaker tests ("front left, center, front right, rear left, rear right") all work, i.e. i get sound out of all 5 channels when i run it... but then when I play DVDs on my system, the center channel is silent. i've tried turning up the center channel, swapping speakers, reconnecting all the cables, etc. but the center channel simply doesn't show up in DVD playback. I'm wondering if it's a DVD issue with the SB Live! or if it is a software issue (i use WinDVD for playback/decoding)... But I can't figure it out. :confused: Any help you can offer would be great. (and dont tell me to get new speakers... i know the klipsches are garbage, but i dont have money, so I can't buy decent speakers.)

do you have the version of windvd that supports 5.1 sound?
Also is this with several dvds or just one?
