i have a dfi lanparty nf4 sli-dr motherboard and i am using the audio that came with the motherboard, the karajan audio module. i installed the latest driver for it which is realtek, it has 6 audio jacks. now i have 2 sets of dell speakers they are a425 and the dell sound bar as501. just to clarify what i have is basically 5 speakers and 2 woofers. when i go into the sound settings and turn it to 5.1 surround sound, 7.1 surround sound, or any other setting and plug all of it up it will only work on the green jack which is the main sound connecter. i have 3 audio jacks that i need to plug in, 2 audio jacks are from the 2 sets of dell speakers a425 and 1 audio jack from the dell sound bar as501. i tried plugging it in all of the 6 audio jacks but the only one that works is the green one. i tried messing with the sound settings more but i still cant get them to all work. how do i make them work? i tried surfing online to see if they sell any 1 rca male to 3 rca females but couldnt find any. can someone help me on this please.

The jack are programmable. You need to read the screens to follow how to do it. Generally, whatever jack you connect to will default to the output jack. However, there is more to it than that.
If you installed the proper software you should have a Realtek Icon in the tray by the clock. Open that software and you will see how to setup the speakers. First select the number of speakers. Then the correct jacks.
