CS 1.6 and 5.1 soundsystem/subwoofer

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life.counterstrike (More info?)

Hi y'all,

I've got a very big problem. My subwoofer does not work with CS 1.6. How can
I make him work?
Or, if not, is there any possibility to update CS or to use a mod??

Thanks for responses!

OK, the menu sound and the music use the sub. But I can't believe that those
many shots and explosions aren't deep enough to partly use the subwoofer.
Anyway, i've seen people playing cs on a lan-party and they had a fantastic
sound.
What can i do to get a better game sound??

Dude, you're not giving us much to go on... What kind of sound card
are you using, what OS are you running and what kind of speakers are
you using?

Jesus, man! What the hell's a "normal" sound card? There's no such brand
called "normal"!

CS:S do not support standard XPSurroundDrivers(in my case)

i had the same problem, SB Live!, Teufel Concept E Magnum and only Stereo
Sound,
