Weird problem with TerraTec DMX/6Fire

Hi.

I just finished installing a TerraTec DMX/6Fire 24/96 and I'm having an odd problem 
I don't seem to be getting any signal out of the mini-stereo jacks on the back of the card. The front panel seems to function as expected; digital coax works, line out works, headphone works, mic-in works, and so forth.

At first I thought it might be some wierd problem with the Via Apollo Pro133T chipset in my dually PIII box, so I moved the card to my nforce2 machine. No luck. I've tried both the drivers from the CD (5.00.2) and the latest ones from the site (5.40).

I figure it's some option that I'm forgetting to check off in the control panel, but I can't seem to find anything related to this. The FAQ doesn't deal with it either, and while this is probably the most hilarious manual I've read in a while, if not ever, it doesn't touch on this subject either.

This card better not be DOA... took like 6 weeks to get it shipped here. 

Anyone have any ideas?

Erhmm.. hmm. I noticed that in the surround setup, if I click on the speaker icons, they turn green and the VU meters go crazy. If I pick 2 speakers and I turn them "green" I get nada. If I pick 4/5.1 and I enable rear/center/LFE, I get crazy hiss on the speakers

Ok. It's official, I'm a freaking idiot. 

The order of the jacks on the back of the card is  LFE/C, F, R, input. Not F, R, LFE/C, input like on other cards, so obviously I wasn't getting any sound

*kicks self in face*

Maybe I should sleep more or lay off the coffee. Either way, all is good now
