Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound blaster live.

Problem: Audio
Model: Windows XP
Problem Description:

I purchased a pair of Polk Audio AR130 to run on
my new Dell 8200 and I am having problems getting all six speakers to work. The sound card that that I have from what I understand on my bill of materials is the creative labs sound blaster live X gamer 5.1.

When following the instructions per the Polk set-up guide I plug in the black plug and green plug into the sound card and then the orange into the Yellow\orange plug that is suposed to run the center channel speaker. However, when I do this the sub woofer does not work and only the left and right front speakers work. If I unplug the orange/yellow plug the subwoofer works and the left and right speakers work but the rear channels and center still do not. Is it possible that these speakers are defective or is there something the manual is not telling me? Any help out there would be appreciated. Thanks
