Thanks. I was confused because I used to use 4 speakers with Turtle
Beach Santa Cruz sound card and there was sound coming out of all 4
speakers at all time.
Unless for watching DVD, I guess there's no use of 5.1 channel audio
on PC then?

If a PC supports say 5.1 channel audio, most (or all) audio played in
Windows can only be heard on 2 front speakers anyway? Is it correct?
When I ran an audio test, every speaker made sound as expected.
However, there's only sound coming out of front speakers when I play
music, games, internet...!

Thanks for any input

The sound source needs to be 5.1 to get sound out of all the speakers eg. a
DVD movie with 5.1 surround.
