Hello,

I just purchased a new 5.1 surround sound system for my PC, and I have a 5.1 surround sound card. It's cheap, but it should work. I used to just have desktop stereo speakers, which worked fine. I have plugged the cables correctly into the subwoofer, and then I have tried just about every combination there is of plugging them into the card, but still, only the set of speakers which are plugged into the 3.5mm port named "front" on the card actually produce sound. The rest are silent. I have Rear, Front, Line-in, and Mic-in ports on the card. Why is it only when they are plugged into "front" that they produce sound? Please help!

Thanks, Lex.

Did you activate all the 'ports' in the software for the card?

Did you get a CD with the card? I would think it would need specific drivers for it to function as 5.1.

If you got a CD with it, install the software from it.

Here, try THIS one....click the download link, save it somewhere you know, and then double click the file once saved. Follow the instructions etc...then you should be able to configure the card...hopefully.
