Need help with new 5.1 system
So I recently picked up a simple 5.1 system for the computer. I'm having trouble getting 5.1 to work properly when gaming - only 2 channels are being used at the moment. I'm using onboard sound, which is being output via optical SPDIF cable.
System: Pioneer 5.1 Surround Sound System for Xbox 360
Sound: Realtek ALC889A HD Audio (driver R1.85 from realtek's site installed)
Motherboard: GA-P35-DS3R
Games tested:
TF2
HL2
R6 Vegas
COH Opposing Front
Let me know anything else you need. Thanks in advance, guys.
Edit: The center and rear speakers are not playing sound. XP SP2.

Apparently this is a very common, very newb problem. Yikes.
So, it looks like all I can do is use analog cables?
