Whoop Whoop, im back..
i have some problems with my 5.1 sound system, im using:
-Logitech X-560 5.1 Surrond Sound System
-Creative SB PCI128 (Ensoniq ES5880) Sound Card

so now the question is, does my soundcard support 5.1 Sound System?
 
By the looks of it no. Websites are saying 4 speaker support. Take a look at the back of your sound card. How many jacks does it have? Does it look like this?

That's an old card. From the quick research I did, it's a 4.1 card. You're not going to get full 5.1 sound from that card. You might want to look into a new card.
 
yeah, it looks like that one.. and it has 4 jacks yea.... shiiat, gotta buy a new soundcard, you guys know any cheap 5.1 soundcard supporting RealTek? any suggestions?
 
Why do you need it to support Realtek? Realtek is its own audio chipset.

My advise is not to skimp on a sound card. You get what you pay for. You wana spend at least $40 to get anything decent.

It probably won't make much of a difference seeing he's using a set of Logitechs though.

In any case, you'll need another card if you're going to use full 5.1, because I know for a fact the GX620 boards do not have 5.1 onboard (only the standard 2.0/2.1)
