Red face Dual channel setup and audio trouble
Hello, in need of something to do I decided to post a few problems having with my computer. So here's the deal: I have this 3-5 years old homebuilt rig, which I'm going to replace quite soon. It has Asus P5GPL motherboard, with onboard audio, Intel Celeron D 2.66 GHz, stock fan, unclocked, 2x512 Mb DDR400 memory, Club 3D Radeon X800GT 256 MB, 80 G SATA2 HDD, 350W PSU that came with the case, Codegen. I'll fill this thing up in the morning, can´t make the noise of opening my case to check the PSU specs right now.

The problems are: I cannot get my 5.1 speakers to function properly, only subwoofer and front speakers give sound. I lost the included driver CD after installation and I had to format and reinstall because of virus trouble and stuff. I received my 5.1s only after that. I however found Realtek Sound Manager bundle, that was installed as/with the sound driver from the original CD (This made the 5.1 work as 2.1, before that I couldn't get any sound whatsoever). I'm yet to find any other driver for the board's sound card.

The memory problem is that my two memory stick do not work when installed to work as dual-channel pair. I have tested all the slots and they work fine. I will fill this too in the morning, as I haven't tested the memories out for 3-5 years, I never tried to install them as DC again after the initial build. (I'll test and see what it does with the memories installed dual channel way, I can't remember what happened)

All suggestions and links to drivers would be appreciated
