No matter what speaker configuration I choose (stereo, 4.1, 5.1 or 7.1) this board only plays music on the speakers connected to the green jack.
(At Windows "Playback Devices configuration" I can play a sample sound test in all individual speakers but when I play music it only plays on the green jack.)

Further details:
I have had 3 generations of these Asus/Realtek and I could always have the board output music (or MP3 or online radio/youtube... anything) in all jacks simultaneously. My previous PC (Asus P5W DH) is currently outputting:

Green Jack: Configured as Front Stereo Speakers
Black Jack: Configured as Headphones
Gray Jack: Configured as Headphones
(Like this, if you connect 7.1 speakers, music will play in all sattelites. Or you can have a 4.1 configuration + Headphones, which is my setup)
(Asus P5W DH) also allows to configure all jacks as Headphones output by the Realtek software, but not on Z87-Pro. Why?!?)

Made the same configuration on Z87-Pro and it only outputs on the green jack no matter what. If I need headphones I must disconnect Green Jack and connect manually there the headphones.

Asus support tells me to send it to RMA but I dont believe its a problem! Can anyone with the same board try to Output music from 2 jacks simultaneously?
