Hi, I have windows 7. Motherboard ASUS P8H61-M LX sound card is an integrated Realtek ALC887 8-Channel Audio CODEC. Picked up the Creative SBS A520 speaker system. Every speaker works in its correct spot during test. But when i play music rear speaker not working. Any idea on what it could be? Thanks in advance

voice/dialogue comes from center speaker, ambient sounds from side/rear speakers, and music/main recordings from front speakers. of these, the side/rears are generally low-powered, since their purpose is to create 'ambience' and envelop the user rather than muddle with the main sound output from the fronts.
