Trying to play music but it only comes out of 2 speakers + sub... but movies they come outta all the speakers.. anything that I can do to make music come out of all 5.

i'm guessing here, but probably because movies have a multi-channel soundtrack and the music doesn't...

You need to have an upmixer like cmss or multichannel stereo in your software somewhere. Usually, the soundcard's software suite has something that allows you to play with the channel settings.

Frequently the sound card's software does not...I use Foobar2000 for playing my music, it can if you tell it to. Actually since I started using nVidia sound drivers I've just told it to auto-clone front to rear if it's only a stereo source...*shrug* There be ways.

For Foo2k, go here and get foo_channel_mixer. It'll give you pretty good levels of control over what channel does what from where. To install it you just need to copy the DLL from the zip into the progfiles\foobar\components directory.
