I just noticed when I check the "Speaker Fill" box that I can hear stuff out the back, but it definitely is only the voices of the music, and it sounds like they are underwater.

I want to hear the same thing out the front/back when I'm on Pandora or whatever...

Thoughts?

EDIT: I just went to the RealTek website and updated my driver.
EDIT2: I can hear stuff when I uncheck "Speaker Fill" and turn on SOME Sound Effects. This is freakin bizarre. Quarry works, Plain does not, City does not, Generic Does. But it still sounds like they're on the other side of a large room.

music is only 2 channel, i had this problem then it occured to me that most standard sounds are only stereo and not quadrophonic, try playing a 5.1 game and tell us if you hear sound without the speaker fill option enabled.
