Onboard audio issue nforce7-s 2.0

[WebSlinger]

I wasn't sure if this post should go here since it's an issue I'm having with my new motherboard, or if it should go in audio since it's an audio question. My appologies in advance if I chose incorrectly.

I installed my new Abit Nforce7-s v2.0 motherboard yesterday, and I have logitech z560's. Well, when I boot windows, play winamp, etc. I have no sound coming from my rear speakers.

Here is the thing though, it's not a cable problem and not a volume problem, because when I use the included utility for the motherboard where the speaker setup is, if I do a test of the 4 speaker mode it works with all four speakers and correctly identifies which speaker is which when it talks to me.

I'm thinking there must be some kind of setting that I am missing somewhere, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have read through the manual, and have scanned through the audio forum here but have had no luck. Any help out there guys?

Thanks

Nevermind, found the solution finally in the abit forums.

With Winamp, you have to go into OPTIONS PREFERENCES and select Directsound, then you have to configure it and tell it to use hardware acceleration. When you do that, viola, sound from the rear speakers.

Tried to delete this post but don't have access, so thought I would at least post the answer in case anyone else has the same question.
