5.1 Sound In Vista not Working in WMP11

rnickster · 4 Sep 2007 at 13:58

Hi all, i just installed Home Premium and for some reason there is only sound coming out of my front two speakers when playing music on WMP11...ive installed the latest drivers, and a windows test recognises all speakers and makes sounds out of them, as does the driver software test (im on a gigabyte ds3p integrated sound with logitech z-5500 speakers) so its seems that windows recognises 5.1 but Media Player is not utilizing it, anyone else had this problem and/or know how to fix it ?

Regards
Nick

in vista, the music needs to support 5.1 to play in all 5 speakers

So there is no way to just get the music to play out of all the speakers ? :/ that sounds pretty stupid
