    Hey guys, so I'm pretty clueless when it comes to audio stuff on my computer. But i have a Sager NP9170 which has four audio jacks on the right side. I recently acquired a Razer Tiamat 7.1 headset. It has 5 cords to plug in to get the full sound output. So i have the standard green audio (green) and mic (pink) matched up with ports 1 and 2 respectively (1 being closest to me, 4 being farthest away), but I'm not sure what cords I should plug in to the other 2 jacks. I'm not sure I'll be able to get full 7.1 audio because I don't have 5 audio ports, but which should I plug in to maybe get 5.1?

    I dinked around a bit with it and went in to the realtek audio software that came with the computer. I switched the speaker layout to 5.1 from stereo then clicked the "test / play" button. Audio came out during the first two front normal speaker parts, but didn't make any noise for any remaining speakers on the test.

    So yeah I''m clueless, but I appreciate any help! Let me know what other information I need to give to clear things up.
