5.1 Audio not working

So I am looking to work on 5.1 audio for a movie I am filming soon, but I can't seem to get Premiere to recognize that I have 6 speakers...

I enable 5.1 and I am playing with the mixer and it is changing, but it is not going through to my back 2 speakers. What do I need to do to fix this issue?

Premiere Pro CS3

Have you tried to set your sound configuration on your computer? Just thingking maybe your configuration is set to Stereo output instead of 5.1.

As far as I know, you have to buy a license/upgrade to unlock 5.1 audio.

What soundcard and drivers do you have? (You need ASIO drivers running to be able to access each channel independently - standard WDM drivers won't work)

No, 5.1 works fine. Historically, you got 3 trials of Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded output before having to buy -- haven't checked that out yet. However, editing 5.1 works fine, as should encoding output to PCM in 5.1.

5.1 works great in all my other programs, and I know ASIO is running right too...

Scott, I just made this mistake today so thought I'd share in case it solves your problem.

The presets in PPro CS5 (like the AVCHD one I used today) have a stereo track as the MASTER AUDIO TRACK. I tried submixing some stereo tracks into 5.1 today and didn't get the speaker outputs I expected. Once I created a new sequence with a 5.1 master audio track (rather than stereo, as is default in the preset), voila, it was all good.

I didn't look any further, but I think you can also assign audio output to a submix track if you already have built a complex sequence.
