and here is tut if u get 3 chanak working how to make them work like 5.1 system:

 

YOU MUST USE 8.8.1 OR NEWER KERNEL WITH ALC883AUDIO.PKG AND ALC888AUDIO.PKG

 

If you have 3 outputs working you can setup 5.1 using Audio MIDI Setup found in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. On the menu bar select "Audio>Open Aggregate Device Editor". Click on the "+" square and it will add a new aggregate device. Now select "Use" next to each output you want to add(usually the first 3) and click "done". Change Default Output to the "Aggregate Device". Now select "Aggregate Device" in the Properties For: box and click on "Configure Speakers". Click "Multichannel" and select "5.1 Surround". When your done configuring your speakers the way you want them, make sure you click "Apply" before "Done". You should now have 5.1 surround sound working.

 

 

ok i have managed to make them working 5.1 but not totaly when i click on corresponding speaker in setings im geting corect feedback:

"im kliking for example on canter speaker in seting and i hear sound on my center spekaer !"

 

here is image:

 

but when i play music whit itunes its only playing on surround and center speaker but subwofer and sidespeakers dont work,

 

so is there any way to make all aplication to use Default Outout: Aggragate Device

 

and whats System Output in midi setings? couse i cant select same device like for default output??

 

so anybody wana help to solve this? im totaly new with mac and i dotn know what more to doo ?

Use your head. Read that guide again. You need to have at least 3 channel out to make a 5.1 channel configuration. All you have now are: Default line out, Headphone out (which comes out of the front pannel) and digital out (which comes out of digital channel).

 

3 channels come out of 3 different ports (1 in the back, 1 in the front, 1 in the SPDIF optical out), you can't have 5.1 surround. Got it?

have a look, this is my config, it is in spanish:

 

 

 

 

 

if you have a 5.1 sound system check the connections and when you press over the speaker you have to hear a sound (well, a noise). Also check in System--preferences--sound-output that Aggragate Device is selected. After that all app. should use the aggragate device as a default output sound. I did this in a gigabyte 945GCMX-S2.

ok when im presing on speakers im hearing noise on corect spekers all 5 + bufer working but when i play music only sorround speakers and center working....

well, i found this very interesting, but a few problems:

 

- i can't control volume

- when i play a movie, the sound plays reversed, the front signal in rear speakers and vice-versa

- if i try to switch channels, the sound still gets reversed.

- center/subwoofer don't seem to work
