ok sweet i went into bios and change one of the pheriphal settings to auto... something to do with audio was disabled. lol.

but i was wondering, if its possible to listen to music using ALL of my speakers..... 5 surround speakers and my SUB??

is that possible or does it only play certain files, e.g DVDs. with surround sound?

at the moment when i play mp3s only the front left and right speakers play, and ma sub.... i want them all to be playing

you might need to switch your Windows speaker setting to "quadraphonic" instead of "surround" in order to get stereo music to play on all of your speakers.

Hello dray_02, How do you like your new mobo so far?

For the 6 channel audio... Did you read the manual Page 78 onwards?

You should have an option in the control panel for "sounds and audio devices." Under "speaker settings," select advanced. You should have an option there to enable 5.1 surround sound speakers.

oh ive configured my sound settings in the control panel, sounds and audio device, advanced, and i have changed it to 5.1.

now what? i still cannot hear the music being played outta all of the speakers

I don't know the spec of the board but some onboard sound setups need a setting changed to output through the line-in & mic-in sockets. I think mine is in the mixer properties.
All this should be in your manual, mate.

i lost it haha,.

should i chnge anything in the bios?

so you guys are telling me that there is a way to make all 5 speakers and the subwoofer to play the mp3 ???

If you seriously are still having troubles with this, you should just go invest $20-30 [USD] in a soundblaster Live! card.

mobo $190
