Are you sending 5.1 material to your "card"? I mean, if you play a 2.0 MP3 you will not get surround unless your "card" has upmix. Try a DVD and see if this give you 5.1 it should if it is a 5.,1 DVD and the software is set properly.
Also, make sure your back speakers are in the proper jacks.

your not gonna tell that much if you use cheap speakers.like if you using some montior speakers or some 10 dollar speakers. you get the idea. Because I tell when I went from my A2zs to a xFi.
