Something's wrong somewhere in my machine's sound setup - Creative
Audigy + Inspire 5300 5.1 speakers.
The Creative Surround Mixer>Speakers>Test shows loud volume from the two
front speaker and very low volume from the other 3 satellites.
Is there any other Windows software that I can download to test the
speakers out?
Thanks.

What test would you do, since there IS sound?
If you can get get a source (app) to play what is supposed
to be equal volume reference tone through all channels, you
can measure it with a multimeter in AC mode (L/R to GND).
What is your amplificiation arrangement? Have you tried
plugging the L/R front speaker-amp into the L/R rear to see
if the volume is still low? Point being, some elimination
of variables may be needed - or if you have done this
already, some additional elaboration of your troubleshooting
steps thus far may be needed. |

Actually I could make sure the cables were plugged in properly :)
