    When I plug all three cables (FR/FL, CEN/SUB, RR/RL) and play music on BSPLAYER, AIMP, or even windows sounds, I have only FR and FL speakers playing. But when I turn on IDT HD sound window and turn on SRS premium sound and play TEST, I have all the speakers and subwoofer playing in correct order. I tried to install last m17x audio driver and m17xR2 as well. The only difference was that with m17x when I unplugged RR/RL jack, I suddenly had FR/FL and CEN/SUB playing. With R2 driver there is no difference if I unplugg RR/RL and even CEN/SUB... And when I play 5.1 test in Manage Audio Devices I still got only stereo sound...any ideas??
