Sound Problem

[Triple Six]

Before I used Knoppix 3.2
I had a 4 speaker system and all 4 speakers have same volume level.
Now the front speakers are not as loud as before,
all the sound I hear are pretty much from the rear speakers.
Even after I reinstalled Windows, I still have the same problem.
I've checked all the settings related to soundcard, yet can't fix it.
I don't think it's speakers problem.
Anyone knows why ?
Thanks

Linux-

Check out /etc/aumixrc

Raise the appropriate levels- do it in incriments of 5-10.

Windows-

Are you sure you're using the best driver available?

I'm not trying to ba a smarta** but are you certain that they are in the correct jacks? Checked your balance (and fade if you have it)? You don't have some getto-tech wiring scheme do you? (just kidding).
