Just to be clear, if you play 5.1 content your BL & BR channels simply mirror your FL & FR channels?
Is there any chance your receiver is set to 5.1 stereo (map stereo to all channels)?
What happens when you "test" the individual speakers from the windows sound configuration panel?
And what does your receiver show when you play 5.1 content?
I can confirm my 4 rear speakers work correctly, but only after setting XBMC to output 5.1, instead of 7.1.
