if you connect the sound card to your amp via the optical cable which is what i would recomend, go to the contro pannel and open the audio console you find there and you can set the card to not decode the surround sound signal and it will send the raw data via the optical to the amp which will decode it for you, this should resolve your sound test issue. however by doing it this way i believe that you will lose some of the features of the card like the CMSS 3D which is very cool. still your speakers should sound great with the right film (i would recomenmd the opening of swordfish lol)
