Subwoofer help

for some reason my sub is not working in winamp 5 or any of the 5.1 games i play. I have the sound blaster audigy2 zs and i have it hooked up to a reciever through 6 channel input. Its works when i test speakers in EAX console but doesnt seem present in any eax games or winamp. Anyone have any suggestions?

Maybe the software thinks you're running in 2.1 or 4.1 mode so it's not sending the sub signal out the sub out.

lol sorry I have a yamaha HTR-5630 receiver connected to the computer through both digital SPDIF and analog through the 3 outputs in the back of the card to 5.1 input on the receiver. I have a 125 watt 10' KLH Sub. The rest of my speakers are also KLH.

no i dont have a problem with the digital signal. I have it going through analog to 6 channel input for EAX games and such. It all works fine but the sub. It works when im in SPDIF but not 6 channel input. I have no bass for anything in 6 channel input.
