Solve : Missing channel volume sliders?

Answer» Intro:

I moved my SB eXtremeGamer from an old to a new PC and, well it WORKS as expected, at least from what I can see

Problem:

My problem is the configuration, it doesn't show up right...

I open the Sound Configuration (I think it's called that) from controlpanel

Then I click Advanced and it says I have "5.1 Surround Sound"

But if I open the Speaker Volume, I see this:

Code: [Select]Left Volume: Silent --------|-- Loud
Right Volume: Silent --------|-- Loud
I saw this on the old PC when the card was in it:

Code: [Select]Channel1: Silent -------|--- Loud
Channel2: Silent -------|--- Loud
Channel3: Silent -----|----- Loud
Channel4: Silent ---|------- Loud
Channel5: Silent ---------|- Loud
Channel6: Silent ---------|- Loud
Channel7: Silent |---------- Loud
Channel8: Silent |---------- Loud
In the help file I found an index over channels in an 5.1 example (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Code: [Select]CH1 = Left Volume
CH2 = Right Volume
CH3 = Front Center
CH4 = Subwoofer
CH5 = Rear Left Volume
CH6 = Rear Right Volume
CH7 = Unknown/Unused
CH8 = Unknown/Unused
Since the 2 sliders I see controls volume for every channel I can't configure it as I want

I have tried reinstalling drivers, with and WITHOUT the card installed

Note: Both PCs runs WinXP, newer has SP3, OLDER has SP2 (Yes I'm gonna install SP3, but later)

What should I do?
Any help would be appreciated

Btw:

I don't KNOW where the problem is located but my guess is the drivers since the card works if I put it back into the old PC, so if this topic is misplaced move it please...
