Sorry - but that didn't do anything.

the speake-test did the exact same thing. The sound comes out of center
channel only when it thinks it's trying to go to rear and LFE.

No sound comes at all via the rear speakers


I think the speaker test was not supposed to be a solution in itself but a
way to quickly test wether a change that you've just made in sound settings
is better or worse.
