Are you using the latest Realtek drivers available from you motherboards manufacturer- I assume the sound is onboard or motherboard daughter card (SupremeFX or similar)
did the sound become low when playing music or when u "test" the all the rear speakers in the realtek control panel?
if the sound is low while playing music there is no solution except using other software to upmix the stereo music. because realtek built in "speakers fill" is kinda crappy.

hmm if the sound is low while playing music such as mp3s then check this out :

it should be superior to the dolby prologic IIx or speaker fill that realtek supplies. but, if the problem lies in the realtek itself, i cannot help.
one more thing, do you set your rear speakers to "rear" or "side"? cause 5.1 only supports side, rear is meant for 7.1

Same problem ... almost
Hi Guys I'm new to the forum and have a similar problem. I purchased a new computer and am using Windows 7. My Creative 5.1 5200 is plugged into the on board sound card and all works fine when running the test sounds including the center speaker. Unfortunately, the back speakers do not work when playing back my music files (mp3's and WMA's). Any suggestions?
