5.1 Help Please

haribo85 · 27 Jul 2006 at 17:12

Hi,

I am in the market for a cheap/decent 5.1 kit, probably spending up to £100.

I would like to link this to my DVD player to play 5.1 films and also to my PC, where I would like to simulate the songs to all 5 speakers, even though the music is not 5.1, as I have heard this can be done.

Please can someone point me in the direction of what I need to get and what features i need to look out for?

Thanks

Oh right thanks, so I need to look the CMSS feature on creative cards.

Does this usually come on higher end cards on can it be found on cheaper cards?

Thanks

Really.

Any links to any software?

Thanks for the help.

I have noticed a few 5.1 dvd/surround kits that do this within the DVD player and not in the PC, do you know what this is called, or somewhere I can get one?

Thanks
