There is no Front Speaker option on this step and no 5.1, it only has the Master Volume with no 5.1 option.

Even so, I managed to get my SP13000 working after hours of playing around with it. What I found is this:

The amp that I was using is a 2/4 channel amp with a selector switch. When the switch was set to 4 channel, only two speakers would work. When set the switch to 2 channel, all the speakers would work.

Now, I'm working on my friend's setup that the amp is a 2/3/4 channel. This amp does not have a selector switch and I'm having the issue that sound is only coming out of two speakers. How will I set the amp for 2 channel to see if that works? Would I have to use only two RCA outputs from the amp and use a Y adapter?

You could do that but make sure you're splitting left/right instead of front/rear. However you should be able to get the same option, just go to the website for the motherboard that you purchased and download the drivers from there. Load them and then go into your sound options to see if you can enable any sort of Magic5.1 or any 5.1 at all. The drivers for my motherboard that I posted in this thread will not work for yours.
