Foobar doesn't like my 5.1 system

I just got Logitech Z-5500's a few days ago, and I've been having trouble getting to them to work with foobar.  I tried "Convert stereo to 4 channels" and Channel Mixer (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=28928), but I get the same results with both.  My two front speakers play properly (as does my center with Channel Mixer), my back left speaker plays fine, but no or very little sound emits from my back right speaker.  Yes, I know I can use Stereo x2 mode on my speakers, but I'd rather not have to switch between Stereo x2 and Direct 6 channel every time I switch between listening music and playing games.  Also, I'm not entirely positive, but I think it actually was working properly at one point and has since stopped.  I haven't done anything to my computer since then, so I can't imagine I changed something that would tell foobar to ignore the back right speaker.  Any suggestions?

Have you taken the time to check the speaker is functioning properly?  Try swapping it with the rear left speaker and see if it is still "malfunctioning."
