Integrated Souncard (soundmax)running 5.1 weak rear left sound

Hi, I'm new to these forums.
I just bought the Lotitech X-530 speakers but I don't have a 5.1 sound card. I have the regular 2.1 integrated sound card that comes built-in the motherboard. I went into soundmax control panel and changed my settings to 5.1 surround. I plugged in the three speaker wires into the line in, microphone, and line out jacks. Now I have surround sound but the rear left speaker sounds really weak (almost NO sound). I know for a fact that its not the speaker(i tested it). Has someone had this problem before? Please I need help.

Edit: I had connected the speakers green(to line out also green), Black(to blue line in), and orange(to pink microphone).
NOW: I connected Green(to green line out), Black(to pink microphone), And Orange(to blue line in) But now the center speaker doesn't work

APPARENTLY whatever i connect to blue(line in) one speaker (either the left or center) sounds weak.
