ime very new to this computer thing but know a little. ime trying to get my
comp to play in 5.1 surround. i bought a set of logitech x530 speakers nd set
them up but only the 2 front speakers and subwoofer are working. ive gone
into every possible option on the comp but nothing gives me an option to
choose 5.1. its stays in stereo or 2 channel. i have realtek via ac'97 to
operate sound. and i hav windows vista premium. i looked on the net at my
motherboard manual and it says my card has the option of 2 channel or 6
channel but cant find anywhere to change it. ive also tried installing new
drivers but they dont seem to work once there downloaded, maybe ime doing
sumthing wrong there?
