How do I get my Realtek onboard audio to detect 5.1surround sound properly?

Asked by Guevara_CF in Audio Editing

Hi all,

I just bought a sweet set of 5.1 surround sound speakers; the Logitech X-530 5.1 kit. The speakers and sub all work fine and Realtek detects all the speakers but doesn't designate the right channel to the right speaker?

For example, I hit the 'Test Speakers' button and this happens:
Front Right displays - Front Right sounds (check)
Front Left displays - Front Left sounds (check)
Rear Left displays - Center Speaker sounds (??)
Rear Right displays - Sub Woofer sounds (??)
Center Speaker displays - Rear Left sounds (??)
Sub Woofer displays - Rear Right sounds (??)

There are only 3 cords which plug into the computer - the actual sub splits the sound into the appropriate channels.
