Will the Yamaha accept the S/PDIF output of your motherboard? If it does, then still you need to go to Control Panel>Sound>Playbak Device .... blah blah blah and select 5.1 output This post has been edited by Zot: Oct 22 2015, 04:39 PM

I think this mixer accept stereo signals only, i.e. stereo signals from several source. Anyway, the mixer is to mix sounds from multiple source. It is not meant to mix FrontLeft:FrontRight, RearLeft:RearRight and Center:Sub. Did not work like that like +3kk! said
