when i click test in the realtek audio settings, each speaker goes through the proper initialization on the appropriate speaker, so 5.1 is working however, in every program, such as winamp for example, there is no audio out of the center/rear speakers any ideas?
for winamp, goto preferences and to the output section and go into the props of DirectSound (if thats what ur using) and have Allow Hardware Accelleration checked, other than that, Start>Control Panel>Sound And Audio Devices>Speaker Settings.. Anc cehck the speaker setup... Hope this helps any...
Seeings MP3s are 2 channel it requires hardware acceleration (as described) or some sort of software/plugin/driver to expand audio into the other speakers.
