5.1 speaker setup......center channel wont work!!

[rbownes]

Logitech x530 speakers, I just got them home and hooked them up and the center channel dont work. I have them plugged into the 6-channel inputs on my Asus k8v mb onboard sound and have windows xp set up for 5.1 sound.

I am stumped...

Does anyone else have these speakers.....or this problem?

Did you try switching speakers to isolate a possble speaker problem?

More likely it is a problem with incorrect installation or configuration though - check the cables and the settings for the sound card to make sure it is set to 5.1 and not 4.1.

I switched the cables and it works .....so it is not the speaker. It must be the output jack or the setup in windows or the "soundmax" config with the onboard sound. There are 3 jacks for speakers: 1 for front, 1 for rear, and 1 for center/sub. I unplugged and plugged back in. Sound settings in control panel is set to 5.1 surround.

I just dont know. I dont want to buy a separate sound card if I dont have to.
