Speaker Settings in XP Pro

[Jake H]

im clicking on the little speaker down on the right side bottom. I right
click on the speaker and use (adjust audio properties) then (speaker)
settings. Then I hit the Advance tab. Then (Speaker setup) I pick
quadraphonic then hit apply. Then ok again then go to listen to music and
only two speakers work. So I reboot and go back to what i just did and it's
set back to desktop speakers. It wont save it? I have a Sound blaster card
that is 7.1 surround but dont like to use their software..It makes my music
sound kinda weird..and there is to many settings that i dont like to fool
with. Ive never had this issue before so i just dont get it. I havent changed
any settings anywhere so it's a little confusing why it all the sudden
started doing this.

What happens when you pick the 7.1 speaker setup??
How many speakers do you have connected??
