Rear Speakers not working

xvoodoo1x · 02-14-2008

Hi, just recently bought new system, screen/speakers *(x530s)/tower, etc. the whole deal. Plugged in the speakers and they are working great apart from the 2 rears arent working at all. Speakers aren't faulty (tried swapping them with the front 1s, worked fine).

All plugs are checked and are plugged correctly.

Went into Realtek HD Manager, set it to 5.1 but still no sound through the rears wen testing them. Read through other posts and another guy recommended setting 'environment' to 'ROOM', but nup, still no success.

If this helps, under control panel/sounds/speakers (their if 3, speakers which is selected/tickd, realtek hd audio 2nd output, and realtek digital output.) as i run the tests for the rear speakers through realtek i can see the bar moving up and down.

Anyone have any other suggestions or driver updates?, Ty
