5.1 Only works for one speaker

[Marek Wasilczu]

I set up the 5.1 speakers. I downloaded the Realtek driver from their website and change the configure settings to accommodate a 5.1 and I changed then through the configure on winodws. If I click on each speaker in either interface a sound comes out but if I play a song on the computer sound only comes out through one of the speakers. I'm so confused. Thanks for the help in advance!

What speakers are they?

Songs are recorded in stereo so depending on your speakers, it may have button near the volume control to allow for stereo.

if when doing a speaker test sound comes out from all speakers, things are set up correct.

if you are getting sound out of just one speaker, perhaps you are playing a mono audio file. you need to test some other sources.
