Try:

STRAIGHT (EFFECT)
Switches the sound fields off or on. When STRAIGHT is selected, input signals (2-channel or multi-channel) are
output directly from their respective speakers without effect processing

Ah shucks,

I recall an issue like this by means of a audio setting on the receiver with a Onkyo. It did not make the Center Speaker work (but 4.1 worked) with a setting called Center Wide. Once he turned off Center Wide, 5.1 worked perfectly. I dunno the setting on a Yamaha AV, but worth a check mark point.

Also
I have my sound card setting as follows (both SBz show activity but look at the default)

actually center speaker works and one on the back also, i saw this settings which You describe and they work fine,
but actually i would like to get 7.1 settings in windows or 6.1 to get different sound in the back speaker in games.
actually i can say that when setted to 5.1 it work in music like surroun(the back speaker(1)) and in the games is also fine,
in bf4 center speaker is set to commands which is great, but wonder about ressetting button of configure output? how to clean settings for this device, i think yamaha actually.
