sizzling :
Have you downloaded the sound drivers for the motherboard?
yeah i downloaded them from Gigabytes website, I do think I remember seeing the option when I first built the computer if you clicked on playback devices and right clicked a playback device and went to advanced tab under properties, but still only shows 2 channel options.
I also just played around with it and on the tab where you can select encoded formats I already had DD and DTS selected and I played the test and it played the sounds through all the speakers and subwoofer correctly! So what am I missing here? Please and Thank You!
