Ok, maybe I'm missing something here, and hopefully somebody out there will have an answer for me.
I don't normally use on-board sound, but at the moment I've got a second computer up and running for my digital out using my Audigy2 and I want to enable 4 channel output via the onboard realtek, but it refuses to output on the rear channel.
I can move the front channel output from my front speakers to the rear speakers so I know all 4 speakers are actually hooked up and working, and can select both jacks to output front channel output. I can even select 6 channel audio and successfully output the side channel to the rear speakers.
What I cannot for the life of me figure out is how to get the rear channel enabled!!!!!!!
I won't bother with hardware details for now as I'm sure it's just some boneheaded thing I'm missing that's common to all realtek HD audio setups. (I do have the most recent drivers).
I'm thinking it might have something to do with DRM in XPs HD audio drivers... is there a way to just run the older AC97 drivers and say X@#! HD audio?
