Hi all,
I'd be grateful for any advice to my problem....
Last month I bought a new PC, a Dell XPS 8500 with an Intel Core i7-3770 processor. The PC has onboard audio (Realtek High Definition Audio).
I didn't buy new speakers as I have a perfectly usable set of Creative 6.1 speakers.
My problem is that although my computer plays Windows event sounds through all the speakers, applications such as iTunes only emit sound through the front pair.
I have googled the problem and as a result have configured the Realtek to use 7.1 audio but without the side pair.
Also, I have disabled the Realtek driver and have reloaded by asking Windows to select the best available.
But still the problem persists.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
dagi
