are you playing 5.1 content?
have you set up both the windows sound control panel and the driver software to 5.1?

yup... i have already enabled 5.1 on the control panel but still couldnt get any sound from the center channel...

i have tried playing a dvd movie using PowerDVD 5.0 with 6 channels enabled and im not getting any center channel output.... dialogues are missing since the center channel doesnt seem to work...

any suggestion? where should i connect the center/sub channel? many thanks! =)

on a soundblaster live 5.1, the digital out port is also the analogue sub/center port. use it

yes. by standard it does not function as a digital out port

note that in that image you posted a link to it is stated as an "analog/digital" output

in normal usage it is a normal analogue port
