Side Speakers not working.

[Ronny_9]

Hello. So I have a 7.1 Sound Card, but I only have a 5.1 system. I have plugged everything as shown in the "ASUS Realtek HD Sound Manager" software:

• 
  Green - Front Out
  Gray - Side Speakers Out
  Orange - Sub/Cent Out

But when I play the test button in the software, it will go well until it hits the Side Speakers. It will play the sound, but the sound will play in the front speakers, even do in the software, the side speakers are selected. (It has the same problem if I try to play a test video on youtube).

In the software I have selected "5.1 Speakers", do the problem is still the same even if I select "7.1 Speakers".

Software used: ASUS Realtek HD Sound Manager (came pre-installed)
Sound System Used: Serioux sbht5100c (Link Here)
Sound Card: (Integrated in the Motherboard): Asus M52AD_M12AD_A_F_K31AD - the name of the pre-build PC.

In a 5.1 system you plug the surround speakers into the black audio output. They are rear surround speakers not side so position them accordingly.

Just tried it. It's still the same... On my audio system they are listed as Side L and Side R do. Not Rear L and Rear R.

Try this.
Set your PC to 2.0 stereo.
Connect each input of the speakers to the green front outputs. Do they all work.?
If they don't then the problem is in the speakers since the front output works.
If the do work then the problem is in the PC.
