I know this isn't geared toward this forum, but last time I posted a HT question I got some good responses so I'll give it another shot.

Here's my setup 5.1:

Denon 788
Polk CS2
Polk M50s for front left/right
Polk R50s for rear left right
Polk PSW10 sub

Right now I have my laptop hooked up to the receiver's aux jack using a Y-splitter (headphone jack to left/right aux jack). The receivers settings are 5CH STEREO, Input = AUX, Analog.

In the past, I was able to send the signal to all the speakers, but now I can only get it to go to the front right, rear left, center, and sub which is really weird. I switched it over to input = Cable/TV and digital/ and was able to get all of the speakers to play.

Can anyone help me setup the receiver so that I can play music through the aux channel across all speakers?

Thanks!!

Sometimes they do stupid shit with Aux/Analog and don't let it force to 5 channel stereo. Look at the manual online. Also you may have a sub menu for 'aux' where you can lock (and it may be defaulted) 2 channel. Many presume Aux is going into a turntable setup, as stupid and usually non-realistic as this is.
