I am planning on buying a new 5.1 sound system (the logitech z506). One of my friends has a logitech x-530 which from specs seems to be quite similar. I am testing them on my computer to see how they sound. I have run into a problem. The rear left speaker does not seem to work (the other one does).
I have an Asus p8p67 motherboard and Windows 7 64-bit ultimate installed. I am using the integrated sound card. I have installed the Realtek Audio Driver which came with the mobo. The speaker configuration is setup as 5.1. When I click on each speaker on the speaker configuration tab to test them they all of the work apart from the rear left one. When I click on that one sound comes out of the sub-woofer (sound also comes out of the sub-woofer when I click on the sub-woofer). When I turn on a movie I can hear sound from all of the speakers apart from this one.
Does anybody here know what the problem is and how I can solve it? Is the speakers or a problem with my PC. My friend cannot test the speakers himself as the laptop which he has at the moment (MSI GT 660) does not have a working 5.1 output.
Apart from that is the z506 a good buy for €75 (£66/$107.60) with postage? Please keep in mind that I live in Ireland where things can be more expensive (computer parts are anyways).
