I found the problem, at least to a degree. The sound card has two
audio outputs. One is working, the other is not. Apparently, there is
a way, in windows, to turn on 4 speakers, or both front and rear. In
Linux, apparently, only one of the audio output ports works. I am
noping there is a way to get the other one to work, so that I will
have 4 speakers (or, actually, one output for headphones and another
that goes to an amplifier) but I don't know if that is possible.
Maybe there is some driver software that will allow me to use both
front and rear, or at least both audio outputs???
Does anyone know of such software?
TIA,
Ed
