Surround Sound Help

Didn't know where to post this. Sorry. :O So if this needs to be moved please do so... anyway...

Ok so I don’t know what’s up with my speakers. I have Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS sound card and 5.1 speakers. I’m on Vista. I have Vista compatible drivers. When I go to speaker setup in WMP and I click test all the speakers work. But when I’m playing a game or music or movie, all sounds just come from my front two speakers (like I’m in 2.1). Help!

you have to make sure the game sound itself can transmit in surround sound or digital. no because you have surround sound you are going to get all speakers working for every sound that comes out of your PC.

Yea but nothing gives me 5.1 besides the sound tests.. When I was on XP, WMP always had all the speakers working.
