    I have a Creative 5:1 set of speakers and a Compaq desktop running Vista.
    Depite replacing my Sound Card, I can have either rear speaker sound or front speaker sound, but not both.
    Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

    Hi

    Quick suggestion and thought is that your not setup for 5:1 sound in the settings, so to double check, right click the speaker icon in system tray and choose Sounds > Playback > Speakers > Configure and click 5:1 surround and Test by clicking each speaker icon in turn, then click Next if ok , then make sure Center, Subwoofer and Rear are ticked and click Next > Finish

    Can enter sounds menu if you dont have the speaker icon in system tray by clicking Start > and typing in Start Search Sound then click on that link in the list.
