Hi everyone,

I have a very weird issue right now and I am looking for some help with it.

Yesterday I bought a new case and swapped all my parts from my old case to the new, I also added a 2nd SSD for games but nothing else. Weirdly since doing this my 5.1 speakers won't play 5.1 from my PC. It is playing 2.1.

When I do a test on all the speakers (xonar audio center) they all work correctly but when listening to anything my speakers act as 2.1. Only playing from my 2 front speakers and my subwoofer. The centre speaker and 2 rear speakers don't operate.

I have a xonar D2X soundcard and creative t6300 5.1 speakers. I have tried different drivers, I have unplugged the soundcard and re-added it but nothing works.

It seems a system issue rather than hardware. Can anyone please help?

In the D2X software check the 'flexi bass' tab, if 'flexi bass is enabled make sure all speakers are set to small.
