Ok, I will say over here that I managed to get the sound I wanted, but through another solution that involves HDMI. What I learned was that this letter (6850) needs a Realtek Sound Manager, a program that allows you to select the sound through HDMI. This works in Windows 7, but not I'm running Windows XP.

Here I am also running on the windows 7 and I get this working by changing my DVI to the other DVI output in 6850. Apparently, the DVI is the HDMI output side are one in the same. The card supports 2 outputs only. So if you connect to the DVI to HDMI with auto cancel is the HDMI output.

I am having some question related with this topic and that is I am using a Yamaha receiver, so I think that is the same as yours, but I'm using a set of speakers connected to the receiver in one room and another set of speakers for the Creative X-Fi computer in another room.

Let me see and contact you on that one, which can be mistaken for the other day when I did not have HDMI working

I tried with this suggestion, it takes a long time to read this, I have yet this does not work for me. And here I am with the question of the Realtek Sound Manager, and EQ controls are or good management? So far, my X-fi controls work perfectly, but just curious.
Re: AMD Radeon HD 6850: Sound through HDMI
Have you tried with updating the Realtek Sound Manager? If not then try to update your Realtek Sound Manager, and see if this will help you to get resolve your problem. I am not sure about this that this will help you or not but since you are trying with the all the suggestion over here and still you get the problem related with that then you will need to try to take the help of this suggestion.
