I am sure its reasonably priced.

This seems like a stretch, but I was wondering, can I hook 5.1 TV Speakers, to my current set up? Or a stereo.

Thanks.

10W? I dont think they even made a 10W amplifier for a stereo, the ones you usually find are anywhere from 400W to 1000W.

I got them to work, I had to enable Speaker Fill.

Now music plays on all of the speakers. Though in games and movies, all the speakers worked.

Thanks.

That's all it usually is a simple setting if the application for the sound doesn't need a reinstall. 10w for a stereo would likely be seen with those old cheapies stereo system where the turn table, am/fm receiver, and casstte deck were all rolled up into one package with the worst speakers made! The dept. stores were noted for those.

I have the exact same problem you are talking about. I have the logitech z5500's and after installing vista I just can't get all the speakers to play under 6 channel direct setting, even though all the speakers test properly under the creative console.

I have been searching for a solution all over the internet, and all people keep telling me is "oh.. music is only 2.1".. which is bs because I used to play all six channels in EVERYTHING on XP. FINALLLLLY I might have a solution.

I am not at home right now, but could you tell me where exactly the setting was for "Enable Speaker fill"?

Microsoft obviously!

The enhancement tab in the speakers properties screen is where to find the check box to enable or uncheck to disable that option in WMP 11.
