Creative SBX not working

Hi, I recently got me a Creative X7 to connect my Corsair SP2500 to.

Installation was pretty smooth but none of the SBX settings are working... switchting them on or off makes no difference.

 

What I've tried so far:

- disabled all other audio hardware (onboard via UEFI, HDMI inside Windows)

 

- uninstalled all previous drivers and audio software (incl manual registry search&delete as uninstall routines don't delete everything)

 

- tried different settings for my speakers  (2 and 5.1)

 

Any suggestions what I could try?

Sound: Essence STX & SP 2500, SDDs: 2x 850 Pro 512GB, PSU: Corsair AX1200i, Case: Corsair 900D

Cooling: Full custom w/c loop (CPU, both GPUs), Build Log: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/14886-project-hermes-900d-titan-sli/

How have you connected the speakers? 

While I can't seem to find the needed information, It could be that the SBX functionality is only available on certain outputs. 

Can this information by any change be found in the manuel?

The speakers are connected via the RCA lineouts (1 red, 1 white). I also tried my headset  (Beyerdynamics MMX 300) on the front 3.5mm jack.

 

SBX should be working regardless how speakers are connected. Manual doesn't say anything against.
