So my new X-fi Xtrememusic came today and I'm having trouble adjusting it so that it plays through all speakers when playing stereo mp3 files. Even the audio configurator isn't working for the rear channels. Help! 
X-fi trouble!

Running XP or Vista? If you allowed the auto updater during installation to check for updates you saw Vista drivers go onto XP there! I went through that crud when putting the new build here together and XP saw problems first with the XtremeAudio and then XtremeGamer card due to that alone.
Remove the current software/drivers and check the support site for the Dec. 2006 XP update. The July 2007 on the XP page is for Vista! Apparently Creative finally got around to correcting that mess. http://us.creative.com/support/down...=&driverlang=1033&OS=10&drivertype=0&x=21&y=8

Nevermind I got it to work
The plug in the back was backwards, but I got it fixed now. My music and games sounds great now!

Soundcard have 4 hole. Red, Green, Black, Yellow. My creative 5.1 have Red, Green, Black. So I plug it according to the color.
The L/R front have sound when I change the setting in the Creative's control panel as 2.0
But no matter I change it to 5.1/ 7.1 setting at the control. No sound from L/R front. Can't figure it out.

One is the "Flexi port" mini jack for both mic and line in. On the X-Fi line you no longer see a separate jack for each. That's one thing that can confuse people from the start besides the lack of being colored coded. But the booklet's diagram and etching in the card itself will point out the mic/line in jack to keep that separate.

Which version did you have? I bought the XtremeMusic the day of the release, and I recently bought an X-Fi Fatal1ty as well, both look exactly the same on the back with no color coding. If you have something like the XtremeAudio, then those are color coded.
I remember it was X-fi Xtrememusic OEM when I bought it.
I opened the case, it say creative labs SB0670. But when I type it in yahoo, it say OEM for HP....
Checking in Everest. It say Creative CA20K1 X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity Audio Processor.
I am confused...

The X-Fi comes with a sticker which can be applied to the back so it's easier to tell where each speaker cable connects, so HP may have applied it.
That's a good one since the XtremeGamer model in use now sees a color code on the jacks not just the plain colors. You can see how that looks from the small photo at http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=209&subcategory=669&product=15853
