New 5.1 and only 3 speakers working + no windows sounds

    Hi..

    I just reinstalled the latest realtek 4.04 drivers, still no good..

    Got myself a nice little 5.1 speaker system for my PC (ultron sonic cubes)

    I am new to this whole thing so maybe I am making a mistake..

    I connected up all the + and - wires perfectly..
    Then I connected the 3 main connections..
    1. Yellow C/SW (subwoofer) Connected to "CW/SUB" on the PC side - Works perfect

    2. Black S Connected to black "REAR" on the PC side - Works perfect

    but

    3. Connected the Green F to green "side" and there is just no sound coming from either of the FR or FL speakers

    So to sum it up, sub, both rear and the centre speaker are working fine, the front left and front right are not working at all.

    Ontop of that..

    I have onboard sound, but I know it is 5.1, I obviously have all the connections and the latest realtek sound drivers 4.04.

    Anything in VLC or windows media player comes out fine.. but windows itself is silent, the system sounds have gone, no startup sound, no browser sound (youtube)..

    Any idea what this might be or how to solve it?

    thanks

    Just wondering - did you perhaps connect the front ones to the 'side' speakers of a 7.1 (as opposed to a 5.1) card? Is there another connection for "fl/fr" or "front" or something?

    hi there' if all your sound is corect and the sound from your window is not working and youtube as well that because you the sound is mainly in mono or surround sound in the first place so you mighting hear it

    the only thing to get the whole 6 speakers is to do a check sound with them by trying all the leads to one sound and gonig from there it's a long shot but it might work
