Hi

I just got a new computer - based on Vista Home Premium, supplied with
Creative Inspire 5.1 surround sound speakers and a Realtek sound card.

When I enter the soundcard setup pages and test various options, the sound
plays fine through all speakers. So there is a link between the computer and
the speaker system, and the correct speakers are used as they are tested.

But I'm not getting any system sounds playing, and nothing from Media Player
when playing music files.

Any ideas where I should be looking?

Thanks
