rear speakers- no sound

[glitter]

Hi-
I have a Dimension 8200 with Altec Lansing surround sound
speakers. In the past, music has generated thru the rear
speakers (via streaming audio, my burned CDs, patented
CDs) but not now. I have replaced the subwoofer twice but
now the sound check is indicating that everything is
working properly. My tech friend has suggested it is the
sound card (I have a turtle beach sound card). Any
suggestions or similar issues before I get on the phone
with Dell for the next several days???

Thanks- glitter
