Oh well at least I have a better sound system compared to my Benwin Classic 2.1 that is like 10 years old ha! Guess I'll hold off on that sound card for now, things sound pretty good as is to me. Thanks for your all the help, the Prisoner.

I read the online manual earlier and saw the buttons on the remote to change Dobly PL II modes. Guess I have to just use the remote to change stuff. If I set the mode to PL II "Matrix" mode then sounds start coming out of every speaker. Guess this HT system isn't made computer-friendly huh.

This is for movies, music, and games. I just re-installed realtek yet the option for settings above 2 channels is still not showing up; config button in sound menu is still un-clickable. Still find it funny how when I test dolby digital/DTS under the supported formats tab I hear sounds from...

Thanks for replying the Prisoner. I can't find the option for 5.1, as seen through: So I should try to plug HDMI from the receiver to my motherboard then, and take out the optical digital? Also, what then makes a PS3 different in that it can give 5.1 surround sound (all speakers working)...

I recently connected a Samsung HT TX52 5.1 to my PC (MSI Z87-G45) via an optical digital cable. While I'm enjoying the sound from the front left, front right, and subwoofer, I am not hearing sounds from the rear left, rear right, and center speakers. Pretty sure I have all the bare wires...
