The front left and right speaker are quiet compared to the other speaker.

This started happening yesterday when moving my speakers around, and screwing them to the ceiling, I was then using my onboard audio.
I have now switched to an Asus Xonar DGX and still have the same problem.

On top of this, since installing the Xonar DGX, I have run into another problem, setting my frequencies and the setup through the system seems to be messed up as well. I will attach screenshots so you can see what I mean.


There is no option for rear speakers through the windows settings in 5.1 mode.

7.1 through windows mode has the option and I can disable the side pair, but it's a 5.1 card and I don't know how the card will handle that.

The only way to get the sound to come out equal on all sides it by doing this.

These are my current settings.

Thank you to anyone that can help me figure out this anomaly.

EDIT: Also, when playing music, I'm only getting front left and right speakers.
EDIT 2: I've not switched to 7.1 through window settings and disabling side pair.
