ok so is it that the surround sound function doesnt work? or is it that when you play sound through them only the front 2 work?
also i cant tell from your system specs if you have a sound card that supports surround sound. If you could shed a bit more light on the situation id be happy to help!

Control Panel sound. Look for speaker setup. Change it to 5.1. It defaults to 2 speaker. You can do a speaker check.

Hi iki080,

Is Speaker Fill enabled, as shown below? This option creates a virtual environment for playback of stereo audio sources on surround speaker systems.
