Are you using alsa or oss for the drivers I have a either that card or a 5.1 (bought it used so not sure) and a 3 speaker system using alsa and I get sound on all. If you are using the alsa you may want to try alsamixer in a console window and start playing with the levels in there and see if that helps.
