Windows 8 5.1 sound problem win 8

[kos]

i installed latest driver for my new logitech z506 and when i do the test to the speakers its fine BUT when i listen to anything else,only my front right and left speakers work!can anyone please help me?

I checked the Logitech site and apparently these speakers do not need any software when used with Windows 8:

What was the actual driver you installed? If it was a sound driver are you sure it was correct? Please post your system specification if you need any help in this direction.

Thanks for the info'. Have you changed the settings found via the control panel and Realtek panel?:

I'm not sure if it tells you on that webpage or not but apparently your not going to get it with some web pages due to how they are built

Ok thanks for your reply anyway !i hope when i get the new sabertooth z87, sound will be corrected as well...

Hi,

hopefully you'll be using a Realtek sound device but if not you should be able to find similar options in your sound devices settings.
