[X4U] audio midi setup questions

[Cheryl Homiak]

Attached to my ppc macmini, I have a Creative Labs 24bit usb soundcard and 
Logitech speakers (I think 
they are x-530). The speaker system 
has front 
left, front right, center, left rear and right rear satellites and has a 
cable with three plugs on each end--one set plugging into the soundcard 
and the other into the subwoofer; these correspond to front left/right, 
center/subwoofr, left/right rear. It  also has a piece attached to the 
subwoofer with the controls on it. There are also five jacks on the 
subwoofer for the five satellites. I have the system up and running and it 
sound pretty good but I'm not sure if I have it set up correctly in audio 
midi setup.

For one thing, using voiceover since I am blind, following the channel 
setup in audio midi setup linearly from left to right doesn't make sense 
as it looks like there are in some places two popup menus fr one speaker 
test button or vice versa. I've decided that maybe the corresponding popup 
menu is actually found by arrowing down from the button label; I'm not 
sure if anybody can answer this from a visual point of view. But also I'm 
somewhat confused as to which channels I should be assigning. Is there a 
rule as to which channel numbers usually apply to the sic channels? while 
all my channnels appear to be working, clicking on the buttons in audio 
midi setup in some cases gives no response and in others gives response 
from more than one speaker. Can anybody tell me what matches I should try 
to make?
