5.1 speakers - dont always work

[jplev8]

I have just got a new computer and plugged my logitech 5.1 speakers into them however the rear speakers dont always work, they only seem to work in windows media player. They will not work when watching the tv or on the likes of youtube, any ideas guys?

7.1

7.1

What brand name? Creative, Turtlebeach? Also, what model? X-fi? Audigy?

When you're using a media player, it's just simulating 5.1 surround sound, since the sound files are only stero. However I guess when you watch TV or youtube, it's not simulating, thus it's only running stero. There should be an option somewhere that turns on 5.1 sound for everything.
