how to get surround sound with games on PC... sort of. HELP!
ok that's not really the question.
i get surround sound on my PC with games and movies right now.
but i have dual display setup, my second screen is a 46 inch TV, connected by uhh from the computer DVI to HDMI.
i have a 4.1 surround system hooked up to the computer, which is setup around my main monitor.
around the 46 inch tv monitor, i have a 5.1 surround sound setup through a SPDIF cable.
i use AC3, so when i put 1080p movies (or any movie with surround), on the second screen and flip my playback devices from speakers to SPDIF, i get proper surround.
but when i wanna play games (such as left 4 dead 2, or TF2, or whatever), on my big screen, i cannot get surround sound to work. it only outputs as two speakers.
in game i tried setting it to 4 speaker and 5 speaker setup, but neither output surround...
where did i go wrong?
