I tried fiddling with the Windows settings, but that didn't fix it immediately, and the sound is clearly wrong on Linux even with a power cycle. And googling for it I'm not alone in having issues and support for the thing is patchy. I mean, rebooting should have fixed it anyway. There's no reason why either OS wouldn't initialize those things on boot.
I am not particularly commited to the thing, so I wouldn't buy an upgrade. The only reason I have it is at some point I ended up with a motherboard that wouldn't do 5.1 out of the box, so I got something relatively affordable to slap in there. It sounds noticeably better than integrated audio, though, so now that I have it I'd like to use it, even if I'm not on the problematic old motherboard.
But again, I dislike the tendency to recommend functional hardware or technical support. It's kinda frustrating. And frankly, it works on Windows, so if I was looking for a fix, that's right there. The onus is on Linux for support in this type of setup where the issue is not on the Windows side that's a reboot away.
