Yeah, so just get standard RCA audio cable splitters, quan.2 req'd (L & R) if you have only one stereo output from SoundMax. Do you have more outputs? Besides the std Stereo (green) SoundMax can provide rear channel signal through another output.
You must config this using software under Windows.

Your splitter could be 1-RCA female > 2-RCA female, or whatever gets it hooked up for you Harris. :-)
Go to the website of your mobo mfg (if you have lost or never had the disk that came with your mobo) and they will have the latest SoundMax driver pkg.
If you're getting sound, then you must have some kind of drivers in there now. Unless Windows recognised your SoundMax (unlikely) then audio drivers were installed at some point...
But I dunno your specifics. Learn about your SoundMax and its capabilities: you tell me whether it outputs 4 channels or not!
If you have no knowledge or documentation, pop the side-cover off the PC and get the mobo make and model, or go to the PC website if it is a proprietary brand-name machine.
