I have a set of Creative Labs A550 5.1 surround sound speakers and the work fantastic except the rear speakers. I don't hear any sound when I sound test them with Realtek's audio utility. I double checked to make sure if all the cables were connected in the right place but I can't figure out what the problem is.

What driver did you install? I currently have the same problem and can't find a solution. Help!

I just reinstalled the Realtek drivers for my board.

SOLVED. For me the solution was moving the cables connected to the motherboard from the audio outputs. i had the side output cable connected correctly. But for my Maximus 7, i had to move the side cable down and used the input next to the microphone. they all work and bump now.
