I just put together a new PC with MC 12 and am familiar with MC 11 from previous installs. I am trying to use the Realtek 7.1 HD sound built into the motherboard...however, I have been unsuccessful at getting any sound from MC 12 out anything other than the L/R output. It shows 3 zones available to me in MC 12, L/R, C/Sub, and RS/LS. I created 3 two channel zones and can only get sound from L/R and not the other two. I have also tried Direct and Wave settings. Can someone please help point me in the right direction, I'm sure there is a setting or two I am missing. Also, the Realtek Manager is set up for 5.1 audio. Thanks in advance.

I haven't messed around w/ 5.1 or 7.1 but have you looked at the DSP>Output format>5.1 rather than setting up different zones?

If I do that I think I would get 5.1 channel sound while playing one song...is that what you were implying? I am trying to turn the 5.1 channel outputs into 3 seperate stereo outputs to simultaneously play different songs in 3 different locations. I have the outputs going into a Russound CAV6.6. I have done this previously with an M-Audio card, but it isn't as straight forward with the Realtek.

I was wondering if you were trying to accomplish the multi-zone output but you didn't explicitly state that, thus my suggestion.
I remember seeing posts here about this before, although maybe it was you with your other card. ;D
