Have you checked the settings (or installed even!) the Creative settings
console rather than Windows settings?

Also, connections at rear of PC are correct?

I had a problem with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Logitech 5.1 speakers on
install, one of the initial checks in setting up the surround sound is a
speaker wiring polarity check. Get it wrong and the sound card shuts down
that channel (verified by swapping speaker wires - is the sound card and not
the speakers). It doesnt then give an option to reset this, I had to
uninstall the Creative hardware, re-install drivers and software and redo the
surround settings to repair.
