Some games will reset your preferences for sounds...open the control panel and make sure that 5.1 speakers are enabled.

Also depends on what type of speakers he has....

Like the X 540's they have a matrix button that goes from 5.1 to 2.1 something could have gone wrong with the speakers.

hhhmmm... i'm not sure then... i would reinstall the driver for the sound card... or at least restore the defaults.... then try and configure it and see what happens.

or it could be something within the speakers... or the cable from computer to sub....... so test cables...
