I did some searches but couldn't find any help.
I've had Acid 4.0b for a while but just hooked up my SB 5.1 card & Klipsch Promedia 5.1s speakers.
When testing a 5.1 project, front L/R audio is heard on both front & rear speakers. Center channel plays on the Left only. When testing with Creative tools all audio checks (FL, Center, FR, RL & RR) are perfect.
Audio Preferences are set to:
Audio Device Type: Windows Classic Wave Driver
Default Stereo & Front Playback Device: SB Live! Audio (FFEO)
Default Rear Playback Device: SB Live! Audio (FFEO)
Default Center & LFE Playback Device: SB Live! Audio (FFEO)
Any help is appreciated.

Check your project settings to make sure that it is 5.1 surround.

Next go to the mixer and you should see the sourround mixer.
Click on the little button near the upper left corner of the mixer window that looks like 4 little arrows. This should allow you to select and map your front, rear and center/lfe channels to your sound card properly. I don't have a SB sound card so thats as far as I can help.

I think with Soundblaster you have to use ASIO drivers for it to work properly.

I posted about the ASIO for you before, my mistake.

I thought you had an audigy card. I 'm not sure you can do it with the Sb 5.1, I think you'll need an audigy with ASIO drivers for it to work. (If you are going Soundblaster route)

I just installed the Creative SB Audigy 2 soundcard & all is well.
My thanks to all who took the time to respond.
