hey all
I have a problem with asus xonar dsx sound card. i have logitech z506 5.1 surround sound system. I have enabled surround sound in the asus drivers but my center speaker wont output any sound. I dont know whats going on. All other 4 speakers including sub is fine. ALso when I test it using windows and asus software, center speaker works but when im actually in a movie or watching a youtube video, it doesnt work, its just like 2.1 channel sound. Also When I test back left and right speakers, sound comes from front speakers too, maybe I messed the settings up but i cant figure it out. What can i do? someone please help
Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Youtube will not output in 5.1 because the sound it outputs is 2.1.  It sounds like the only real issue you're having is that you don't have any 5.1 sound for your videos...

Of course your music plays in 2.1/2.0! That's the best experience for music listening, really... That's why there are half million dollar sound setups, but they all use two speakers and a subwoofer (although the increased sound quality at that point can be somewhat questionable). Most movies are encoded to have 5.1/7.1 surround sound. This is why most people nowadays don't use surround sound for their computer, it's just not that beneficial, and a 2.1 or 2.0 setup for the same price will generally sound better.

Most of the expensive speakers I've seen are huge towers with a sub in each

PC Build in LTT Gallery - JBL J88 - Fostex T50RP (Modded) - Pioneer SE-A1000 vs audio-technica ATH-AD500X - Skullcandy Aviator  
audio-technica ATH-T400 - CHC Silverado and Laredo - Clip-On Headphone Roundup - Sony LinkBuds

Yeah, my point was mainly that there aren't surround speakers... (The system we used to have had two floorstanders, and a sub, and it was not cheap by any means...)
