My father had a nice surround sound system he is letting me have for free, everything works, but it has its amp, it uses a Bluray DVD Player to power the speakers, and it is able to be connected to another device for audio, so I can use my PC and have audio going through it. When everything is plugged in as it should (I'm using an optical cable), only the front left and front right work, along with the sub. when I swap the speakers wires from the front to the back(unplugging the front and having the back plugged into the front) the rear ones play. the center doesn't play unless plugged into either the sub, front left, or front right spots. The player doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, but I read that the optical supports 5.1 given the slot supports it(i have a sound card that does support 5.1 and 7.1 systems).
I've already tried to change the format from 44000 Hz to 96000 Hz (but it shows 2 channels on all the options). In the sound cards menu, it is already set for 5.1.
in the end, I don't really care about the surround sound aspect of it, just would like all speakers to work. Any idea?
I'm using Windows 11 Pro on the latest update (KB5011563)
The sound system is the Samsung HTS-H5500w (it has 2 RCA ports, one for left, and one for right, along with the optical port that I'm using)
The Sound Card is the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX (here's the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EO6X7PG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
forgot to mention, that because it is a bluray player, it does have a HDMI port as well, and if you want a screen shot of something in any settings, just let me know
