Hi, I have a creative 5.1 speaker set up and just recently found my old sound blaster external card from my PC from years ago. I went on the creative website to try and download drivers for it and their weren't any (surprise, surprise). So i've been trying to figure out how to use my speaker setup so i can watch movies from iTunes in 5.1 surround sound.
When i plug in the card through USB the sound tab in the system preferences reads it as the SB Live! card (which it is). Then when i go to the Audio MIDI Setup, it also reads the card and the speakers i have connected to it. When i go the configure speakers tab, it shows them and all when i click on them to test them, it shoots out noise through each speaker. But when i go back to iTunes and enable surround sound in a movie, nothing happens. Is there something i'm doing wrong? is there any software i can download so i can use my speakers?
Any info would be greatly appreciated
