I managed to get mine working (I'm using the Audigy 2 with the Creative Beta
driver) by telling Vista (via the Control Panel applet "Audio Devices and
Sound Themes") that I have a 7.1 system - then disabled the side speakers.
Somehow there's some confusion between Microsoft and Creative as to how 5.1
is defined. Creative defines it correctly, with fronts and rears; Microsoft
is expecting fronts and sides.
