Creative sound blaster z audio isn't working as it should

[XxRaPiD4K3LLERxX]

My speakers usually are stereo 2.1, they worked perfectly with on board audio, when I use the speaker for my sound card, the audio doesn't work until I have tweaked it to stereo 5.1, then the audio works but there another problem, the problem is that whenever I play a game using stereo 5.1 some sounds does not work at all.
I tried using stereo, however there is no audio being produced. When I test the sound out using 5.1 they detect the speakers as centre and subwoofer as subwoofer, however the subwoofer is connected through my speakers from the it's connected to my computer but the subwoofer is being powered by plug.

Are the Speakers actually 5.1 with 3x 3.5mm plugs?
Or just a single 3.5mm plug (which is 2.1 Stereo).

Also, go into the BIOS and Disable the Onboard Audio first.
Whenever you use a Sound Card, all other audio should be disabled on the system to prevent issues. Then go on Creative and grab the very latest Drivers. For ones like GPU HDMI/DP Audio, you can disable that in Device Manager.

If you want full surround sound on a 2.1 Speaker system; you need to enable the Virtual Surround on the Sound Card settings. SBX I think it is called on there. This ensures Games and Movies encoded in Surround Sound will push all channels to your Stereo-only setup.

Hey there!
I managed to fix the problem, it seems like putting the single 3.5mm plug in the middle port seems to work. For example: If there are 5 ports for 3.5mm, then 3rd or 4th port will work for stereo speakers
