I have a Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit internal card and I installed the drivers off of creatives website and I am only getting sound out of my 2 front speakers and i have Logitech's 5.1 Surround sound, they worked with my Aopen card, but when I installed this card I only get sound out of my front 2 speakers and Sub. This is for music and games. What are some suggestions

Within the Sound Control Panel (within the control panel), there is an option to pick 7.1, 5.1, 2.1 sound.
Make sure that is set correct with the other options.

I did that, it still doesnt work. And i cant find the EAX Console for it either to be able to change it with Creative Software.

With my Soundblaster LIVE I only downloaded the drivers off of the CD.
Try un-installing those drivers and just installing the ones of the CD.

I cant, i dont have the cd, i got the sound card from my friend because he upgraded his system and he doesnt know where the cd is at. If you have the Sound blaster live! 24-bit sound card do you think you could make an ISO image of your cd for me?

Sounds like the card was still installed with Windows default driver.
If you open up driver properties tab - who is listed as driver manufacturer?
If it is Microsoft, reinstall the driver that you have downloaded.
If you need CD this site might help;)
