Ok, I have a problem. I got a new sound card, $100 5.1 creative labs xfi.
I use windows vista. I have a 5.1 surround sound system, and it's all hooked up just the way it is supposed to be.
I have configured my "speakers" to use 5.1 audio ... Sound, Speakers, Configure, 5.1
Problem is, I get the EXACT same sound if i use just the green, or if I use green, black, orange. Something is goofy somewhere, and I need help figuring out where. When I mean it sounds the same, I mean in the vista sound test it goes through the speakers (each speaker) and when it does the left front it sounds the same as when it does the left back... etc. It isn't seperating the channels... it isn't even outputtting center/rear channels from the sound card. Through the speakers, noise is made from all channels, but it isn't diving up the signal according to the 5.1 configuration.
