I have a new PC with an ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING mottherboard.

My old PC had a Essence STX II 7.1 sound card and my 5.1 speakers worked fine. My 5.1 speakers are Logitech Z-5500.

I am trying to connect my 5.1 speakers to the onboard sound on my new motherboard but really struggling.

I am getting no sound ouf the front 2 speakers. I am getting sound out of the centre speaker. I am also getting sound out of the rear speakers but the wrong way around. The rear left speaker is outputting rear right sound and the rear right speaker is outputting the rear left sound.

Can anybody spot what I am doing worng?

These are my wires coming from the subwoofer

I am matching the colours of the 3.5 jack from the subwoofer to the colours on the motherboard (green to green, black to black, and orange to orange)

Thses are my audio options
