Did i buy the wrong soundcard?

I have the Klipsch 5.1 Promedia Speakers and the SoundBlaster Audigy Mp3 sound card.
My Middle speaker doesn't have sound coming out of it.
I know its not damage because i change the wires and made it like rear speaker to see if sound would come out and it does. Do i have the wrong soundcard, i can't get the middle speaker to ever work. I check the settings.. Clicking on AC3 Surround sound while watching dvd movies that have 5.1 . I mean its like 100bucks more for a stupid extra speaker that i can't use.
Am i doing something wrong? or did i buy the wrong soundcard? I told my dad to get the 4.1 version.. i told him...

So you think something is wrong with the settings of the software? Its not the soundcard? So my soundcard can give me 5.1 surround sound during movies? What should i do to get my center speaker to work? What about dvd software, the decoder is that responsible for anything with the sound?

Did you use the software to change the speaker setting to 5.1?

if i remember correctly, other than the mixer & equalizer, etc., there is a setting just labeled virtual 5.1
maybe thats just with the TBSC drivers, but i thought it was with the audigy too...

well, a bunch of Vortex 2 guys decided the Santa Cruiz was a reasonable alternative, probably sounds as good or better than the Creative card, and with better drivers.

"Make sure you configure the Speaker applet in AudioHQ for the 5.1 configuration" Your talking about surroundmixer where you can test the speakers well for some reason today i do hear the center speaker during testing but when i put in the dvd movie which has 5.1 i don't hear the center speaker at all. The center speaker is like the voice of the movie. Instead the other 4speakers include the voice. Can it be my dvd decoder? I am using WinDVD which i got from my graphic card gainward. When i right click the movie to go to properties then to audio i see that it saids 2speakers and i can't click on 6speakers. AC-3 is check.

Well when i go to InterVideo WinDVD goto properties and i see 2speakers and i can't switch it to 6speakers but on the right side i see attributes under current audio track and it saids 5.1 dolby digital. I can click on S/PDIF output but i don't know what that does. So a dvd decoder can be my problem? But wait.... I have warcraft III.. doesn't that have like EAX enable sounds so my center speaker will work during dialogs. I don't hear my center speaker.

I click on the S/PDIF output like you said and i'm watching gladiator with 5.1, its working great. Thanks Alot man.
