Hi all,

I have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi (USB) connected to my laptop which is connected to my 5.1 surround system via optical connection.

I get 5.1 from films and games that play on the laptop but not from itunes. I only get the center, left and right speakers playing my music. I want the two rear speakers to play music as well.

Any ideas how I can force itunes to utilize my setup to the max?

Thanks
