Will a SB live! give me 5.1 surrond in games?

[utahraptor]

I use the Xear3D audio spif output to hook to my surround sound now, but when I play games, only two speakers work. How do I get 3D sound like I had on my xbox?

THIS IS THE MOST CONFUSING FORUM EVER! I don't even see a button to reply, so I must edit this post.

I was wondering what games, if any do support the surround sound?

If they game only support stereo, you wont! Simply adding speakers wont give more sound channels unless the application actually plays something in them.

Yes this forum software is terrible.

What soundcard do you have?

What kind of speakers? 4.1? 5.1?

What games are you trying? Most support multichannel sound.

We need more info.
