Hi guys, How do i connect f&d f6000 5.1 to intel dh87rl motherboard? The motherboard specification says 10.2, So ithink 5.1 must work. I purchased 3 RCA to 3.5mm cables and connected them correctly, But when i do a sound test in realtek HD manager with 5.1 speaker setting only my front speakers seems to work.. Other 3 are not working. How do i get 5.1 surround sound in my pc? I tried updating my audio driver to current version but still not working..

I had the exact same problem.. if your speaker has an option to change AC3 to AUX.. give it a go

[MENTION=110244]Nerevarine[/MENTION] My home theater supports AUX but, Aux cannot carry 5.1 surround sound

It supports only stereo.

3.5 mm to 3.5 mm will give sound in all speakers.
