Audio configuration for something more than stereo?

I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of audio options on the back of this model. My speakers include a subwoofer, center, and rear stereo speakers in addition to the left and right main speakers. Is there some configuration I can use to get them working with the predator?

    Jack remapping did the trick! The pins on that link are a bit outdated though. For me I had to make the following remappings:

     

    Key location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000\Settings\Drv7624_DevType_0662_SS1025098d

     

    REG_BINARY values to create or modify:
    Pin14 -> 04 00 00 00 (maps the green front L+R port to front L+R speakers, already set)

    Pin18 -> 06 00 00 00 (maps the pink mic-in port to center+subwoofer)

    Pin1a -> 05 00 00 00 (maps the blue line-in port to rear SL+SR speakers)

     

    Restarted and I had full 5.1 sound. Didn't really need those pink and blue ports on the back since ive never used line-in on a computer and there's a mic input on the front.

     

    Thanks for sending me in the right direction!

    i can't find any reference to 5.1 analog output, at least if Realtek HD panel doesn't let you switch line-in and microphone as output path.

    if your Realtek HD panel is not able to switch output paths, have a look here:
