Could it be my Windows settings? Due to being a newbie with receivers I did have hard time setting the receiver up in Windows. During the receiver calibration all 5 speakers and subwoofer worked. After that I got the receiver set up in windows. I then downloaded a surround sound test MP3. It is just a woman who says front right, front left, centre, real left, and rear right. As she says say front right I do only hear her in my front right speaker, as she says front left I do only hear her in the front left speaker etc. I then played some films and music. I could hear all 5 speakers and the subwoofer. I then just assumed I had set everything up correctly but I may be wrong.
This my current Windows sound settings and shows other options I have to choose from.
If I remember right although I connect from the sound card to the receiver using S/PDIF in Windows sound options I had to choose speakers rather than any of the S/PDIF options. I am sure that was the only way I could get sound but I will check that now.
