    VIA HD Audio Deck or similar needed to configure 5.1 speakers


    Please can anybody help!

    Specs : Windows 7, Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3, Sound Device : Via HD Audio

    My PC was built in January by a local computer store, and included a piece of software called Via HD Vdeck or Via HD Audio Deck which I used to configure my Creative Inspire 5.1 5300 speaker system. I upgraded to Windows 10 soon after launch, then in October had to wipe the computer and go back to Windows 7 as 10 seemed to have corrupted everything.

    However, I no longer have this Via HD Vdeck since reloading Windows 7, so currently I only have sound coming from 2 speakers instead of all 5. I've tried reloading the drivers, and Googled every option I can think of!

    What I need to know is, either, how on earth do I get this Via software, or is there another piece of software available that I can use to configure my speakers? (Using Playback Devices in Windows doesn't work!!!)

    Have you tried configuring them through "Sound" in your control panel?

    Yes, I select 5.1 but in test only the front left and right play sound.

    From looking at the Gigabyte website, only Revision 5.0 of the GA-78LMT-USB3 has VIA audio.

    Here is a link to the complete set of drivers for the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Rev. 5.0

    I hope this helps.

    Are the speakers connected to the ports on the back of the PC only?
    Here's what the manual says.

    Absolutely fantastic, thank you!!!

    Finally that is the software I needed! I did go to that page on Gigabyte's site, but didn't think to look at the different Revisions!

    Still not getting any sound from the two rear speakers but I'm sure there is an elusive setting somewhere I've missed! Front left, front right, centre and subwoofer are all working!

    Yes, I just have 3 ports on the back of the PC. As I just mentioned in my last post a minute ago, after downloading the software from the link provided by Lava King, I now have front left, front right, centre and subwoofer working, just silence from the rear two!

    I had that set before buying my current 5.1 system. Where do you have the light green, black, orange plugs connected? I'm thinking you may have something connected wrong. Is anything plugged into the front of the computer?
