wow it was matrix that was causing all of this.
It was my understanding that matrix "turned on" 5.1
What does it actually do?
Wow something so simple... i feel dumb -_-
It wont recognize surround.
All the speakers work, I turn on Matrix mode and they all sound(I even downloaded a surround sound test file and played it with VLC and all the speakers functioned) so its definitely not that, I installed the latest realtek HD audio drivers and using the audio...
