Surround Sound- rears don't work with stereo audio...
Is there any way to set it so that stereo sound (YouTube, various programs, etc) will go through all channels? I have a Realtek "HD" chipset in my XFX 680i motherboard.

I've been looking around and have heard that setting the speaker settings to "small" would fix the problem... Making the front speakers work with the sub woofer helping out (like it would in a 2.1 setup)... Well, problem is, I can't find these options in XP...

For Christ's sake, there's got to be someone on these forums that knows what to do... A response at the VERY least would be appreciated.

Chill man, you had 29 people look at this. Obviously none of those 29 had an answer.

I don't know what options the Realtek drivers give because I've always used Soundblaster cards. But for me I have to go into my EAX console and use a CMSS 3D upmix with my speakers set to 5.1 sound (various options available, you'd have to try them to find a fave). Realtek should have similar options but probably using different names than Creative uses ... you should be looking for the realtek driver settings not the XP sound settings

I apologize... It's aggravating when you search Google a million times for multiple different things, only for it to come up with anything and everything completely unrelated, when the Logitech customer support has no idea what they are talking about (Indian based support), and I've looked through everything my Realtek drivers have to offer but to no avail...

But yeah, so far, having looked through the Realtek drivers, there is nothing that would mix them... It's like... My old 2.1 channel speakers worked fine, because they plugged into one jack. Well, I have the front (green), the rear (black), and the center/sub (orange)... Whenever something in stereo like YouTube or anything flash plays, it goes through the one jack (green)- the front speakers... That means that there is absolutely nothing going to the sub, and therefore, no bass, and much of the sound is lost. I can't seem to find anything similar to what you're speaking of.

EDIT:

Wow... This is a complete slap in the face... Now some how... It's working- no problem... I never touched anything somehow it's just working. An entire day wasted trying to fix something that just fixed itself (hopefully).

EDIT 2:

Sorry, I'm an a**hole... Thank you, Darque, for responding to my thread. It's much appreciated.
