I went to the creative labs website and looked at the info on your sound card, the Audigy Gamer Although not specifically listed, somewhere in all that jumbo on another page I found out that (If I read it correctly) you indeed have 5.1 capability on that card...but your speakers are only 2.0.

I am pretty sure you would have to have speakers that do 5.1 to get the 5.1 surround. I have 5.1 speakers...and can hear each individual speaker do it's thing. I have this one..

Note: For great movie sound, you'd want something that looked like this. Notice all the little icons at the top...THX, DVD, Dolby, and EAX. That is good stuff there!
