Yesterday I purchased Logitech Z906 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System and Asus Xonar DX Sound card.
I have connected my PC with the speaker system using both 6-channel direct and S/PDIF TOSLINK cable. Problem is, I am NOT getting any sound from the center and rear speakers while playing music and movies (only get 2.1 sound), but all the channels do work in games such as The Witcher 2. I tried this in both analogue and digital (Dolby) mode but still don't get any sound with music and movies. Only if I turn on the 3D stereo option on the speaker console (when in PCM mode) I get surround sound. This is very confusing and frustrating. I was under the impression that the Dolby Digital Live mode of Xonar DX transcodes any incoming audio stream into Dolby Digital surround bit-stream and outputs it thru 5.1 speakers.
Am I doing/understanding something wrong?? Please help!
