I have the Creative SOUND BLASTER X-Fi Platinum with the Logitech Z5500 and it's really frustrating.
Here is what happens...
the center speaker becomes front left
the front left becomes center
the SUBWOOFER becomes front right...
and both rear speakers work normal
Yes, I have it set to 5.1 in both PC control panel and the X-Fi control panel.
And I know all the speakers are hooked up correctly because I tested them independently without the computer with the built in pink noise.
I have it hooked up to the audio card using the 6ch direct cables (green, black, pink).
I looked on Logitech's website and found this:
Somebody please help me put and end to yet another of my problems.

Different audio card but maybe the same thing is applying here.How can I get Digital 5.1 Surround Sound on my Z680/Z5500 via a Sound Blaster Audigy 2?
In general, you must disable any software and/or hardware decoder on your PC. You will need to do this because the Z680/Z5500 decoder will not be able to decode an already decoded signal. If a software or hardware decoder on your PC is active, the Z680/Z5500 will play the audio in only 2 channels, rather then 5.1.
Somebody please help me put and end to yet another of my problems.
