this is because the sound card doesn't know what speaker system you're using, on the sound card installation CD will be something that lets you select 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system
any probs, just attach CD directory listing (DIR d: /s >c:/cddir.txt) then attach cddir.txt

Adding to that, this problem occurs with some audio formats as well eg MP3. Use OEM CD/DVD and see if you get the sound or not.
