I have 2 Klipsch Heritage 2.1 systems and a Sound Blaster Z sound card. I want both 2.1 systems to get the full power but it seems like the rear channel jack is not giving as much juice as the front channel jack is (maybe b/c it's meant to power a 2.1 and rear up to 2.0?), the rear 2.1 system is much quieter and the sub does not hit nearly as hard.

My question is how to resolve the issue and get full power to both systems? Is there a soundcard that would support 4.2?

Looking for any guidance, thanks!
