Only two speakers make noise (I have 5)

Hi everyone,

I just bought these speakers:

And I'm using the onboard sound from this mobo:

So I just installed my new speakers and only the front left and right speakers make sound! The subwoofer also works. I've tried fooling around with software settings but no sound comes out of the other three!

Any ideas on getting this to work?

Thanks

Does you sound card suppoer 6CH?

Yeah! It says so on the manual!

EDIT: I got the two rear speakers to work; I plugged in the "rear speaker" cords But my one center speaker still doesnt work... Any ideas?

are you trying to listen to 6 channel sounds?

not just a simple stereo sound? simple i know but i speak from experience... lol

have a look in the motherboards manual, maybe theres a jumper setting or very specific drivers you need?

plug the centre speaker into one of the forward ports to make sure its not the speaker itself thats broken.
