Win 7 RTM, Realtek HD, no stereo
I'm having an unusual issue here. I'm running an RTM version of Win 7, I have an MSI K9N SLI Platinum motherboard with integrated ALC883 Realtek audio, and I'm running the latest Realtek drivers: version 2.30. I have 2.1 stereo speakers coming out of the back ports and Grado headphones coming out of the front ports, but all I'm getting is mono sound, no stereo from either as far as I can tell. The headphones are a bit easier to test for this and I've tested front and back ports and can't seem to hear stereo coming from either. In other threads folks have mentioned ensuring that "stereo fill" is checked in playback properties under sound in the control panel, but, though I do see some checkbox options, I'm not seeing anything that says "stereo fill". Anyone else have this issue or know what my issue may be?
Thanks in advance.
