Question

but i do still get some sounds from windows on the rear speakers my no soud comes out the rear speakers when i play dvds or music.

Answer 1

You need a 4.1 synthesizer circuit to produce the five channels of sound from two-channel stereo sources, and you need three output jacks (two stereo and one for the sub) that don't interact.  (On most PC's, plugging a speaker set into the front jack turns off the rear jack.)

Answer 2

because your sound drivers do not support 4 speakers.

Answer 3

check your pc sound settings,  is it a '2.1' amplifier, if not, its only stereo and you wont get the full spectrum..

check your wiring too...

Answer 4

I don't know what your operating system is but it needs to be configured.  I'll explain for Vista, and XP would be similar.

Open Control panel - find Sounds - click on Playback - When playback is open right click and you will find a screen which say Configure Speakers.  From there on the selection is up to you.  All the best.

Answer 5

you'll only get sound from all the speakers if the media (music, dvd or whatever) was recorded in surround sound. have you got a 4.1 soundcard? your speakers are never going to work properly with a standard sound card.

Answer 6

the rear speakers are being blockes by the ones in front!

Answer 7

Your drive doesnt support suurround sound
