For some reason I'm getting almost no bass from my Audigy 4 soundcard when 
set up with a 5.1 speaker configuration. I have Trust 5.1 speakers.

I have a set of 5.1 speakers that have both a stereo mode and a 5.1 mode. 
When its in 5.1 mode it uses three 3.5mm jacks from my sound card (and there 
is no bass) and when it's in stereo mode it only uses one (and there's lots 
of bass).

I have selected 5.1 speaker configuration in my sound card audio setup. The 
surround sound aspect of the speakers seem to work perfectly.

I've narrowed the problem down to two possibilities:

1) I have some sort of configuration problem with my Audigy 4.

2) I have set up my sound card wrongly (e.g. wires incorrect).

Any suggestions as to what the problem is?
