Surround sound help please!!!?

Question

I have a Logitech 5.1 surround sound speaker set, which I've set up and it runs normally when I play music or video through youtube or anything else.

I have an external sound device as I can't install one into my PC.

Just to let you know, I've installed all the drivers and programmes, the problem is nothing seems to work through iTunes, it plays because you can see the bar going down but no sound comes out of the speakers?

Where is the solution to this? Do I have to set my speakers as 5.1 through iTunes or is there sometihng else a miss?

Please, if someone could help me with getting the music to play through iTunes that that would be a great help, thanks.

1. Double click the speaker icon, on the mixer panel, see if there are any k***s turned all the way down and try turning them up.

2. Also on the mixer, in the preferences, see if you have more than one audio device, select your external one.

3. See if iTunes has a setting for what audio output device to use; again, select your external one.
