I have built in sound on my Iwill KK266 that says it supports 4.1 setup. I had one set of Labtec Pulse-424 that I like alot, so I went out and bought another set and plugged them into the second line out on the board. So why will it only play one set? I selected 4 speakers in the software that came with the motherboard.

If I should buy a stand alone sound card, what kind will let me use these two sets as a four set system? If at all possible. Thanks for the help.

I know the sound blaster live will.

yeah, I've been looking at my onboard sound, it comes with a mixer but I have to go into the mixer every time I start a new media application for the 4 speakers to work.

I do believe I'm going to just buy a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card. NO WAY this onboard sound can compare to the Santa Cruz, which from what I gather is the best to get at the moment, although I havn't heard much about Audigy cards yet. Thx
