Right..

i got a (i assume) 5.1 sound card it has

Centre Bass, SPk1, SPk2, Line in, Mic and a gameport.

My speakers were like this:
Green SOund jack -> Bass Speaker which linked to L and R speakers (with those thick plugs)

Now what do i do? i plug it any spk1 etcand my sound is really quiet and i can barely hear it, i know you can use a 2.1 on a 5.1 as ive seen it done before, any ideas?

Edit: ALL sound properties are on max loudness setting :) including the one that came with the card (mixer)
