W7 and on board sound (realtek)

[Dano]

how are they connected? and have you tried another program such as foobar2000? that comes with a simple stereo > 4 channel plugin which is enough to check rears are working.

The rears work with the latest drivers, now it's just a tinny mushy mess.

also one other thing to check is how windows is actually configured. right click on the speaker in the system tray >> playback devices >> select your speakers or whatever output you are using, click on configure and run through the wizzard

5.1 sound, it all works perfectly from a windows point of view, click each speaker and get a nice loud non-tinny ringing sound through each and every one of them, the issues start when I attempt to use winamp (latest version).

I'm going to install a different player now that I have proper 5.1 with the latest drivers to see if it's a winamp issue, which I suspect it now is.

To make the stereo sound come out of the rear speakers on the UD5 you have to use a program called Dolby Home Theater, give it a try it might work on other Gigabyte boards. Link

Fails on my motherboard and I still cannot get Winamp to fill 5.1 like it does under XP
