5.1 channel trouble

[newn]

I use Roccat Kave headset and Creative Xtreme Gamer sound card. On Mint, even though I've set 5.1 channels, I can't hear any sound (in testing window as well) from the Subwoofer and the center speakers. On Windows, however, it works perfectly.

What might be the problem?

Right click the cound icon in the panel, select Sound Preferences

Then pick the hardware tab and select the appropriate output in the profile window.

Yea, that's where I've set 5.1 configuration. Since it didn't work, I've created this post.

P.S. Using x64 Mint 13 Cinnamon with default codecs and no audio drivers (no Linux version).

Did you test the other variations offered? While we're at it did you check for additional hardware drivers?

Ah, made it work by choosing another variation of 5.1.
