Logitech Z506 Surround Sound Speakers playing through wrong speakers.

[Darkvillain]

After building my new computer, I tried to install my speakers from my old one for sound in games. The problem is, they are all sorts of messed up. Middle speaker plays the front left audio. Front-Left doesn't work at all. Etc.

All of the cords are in the correct spots and plugged in correctly, but still having this problem. When using speakers from my monitor or headset, all works just fine, so it is a definite problem with the Speakers and not the system.

Things i've tried.

1. Using different ports and seeing if anything helped.
2. Trying different speakers (Monitor and Headset)
3. Changing sound settings to 5.1 Surround Sound and going through the speakers test and watching them play the wrong sounds.

If anyone has any advice for a situation please let me know!

My speakers... so you know that true 5.1 only happens when no lights are showing for the surround mode on the control unit? That is unlikely to help, its just something not written in the manual

What soundcard are you using? is it onboard and if so, is it Realtek? Have you tried setting speakers up in realtek HD Audio? Unplugging and replugging should make it find speakers.

Have you tried running the playing audio troubelshooters?

Have you tried a digital connection? would at least tell you if it plays through the speakers that don't work in analog

I had a lot of fun getting 5.1 through my Z506, took 12 hours of messing with cables, running troubleshooters, before it would out put though some speakers. You only have 3 cables so it is difficult to understand why front left doesn't work if front right does. They both run through same cables.

You can swap the actual cables on back of speakers to see if its the units or windows, or the cable itself...

can you test speakers on old system? I assume they worked fine there?
