Hello, i just got Logitech X 530 speakers. So i wen't on to "install" them. But only 2 of the 6 speakers will play, both in games and when i listen to music. So i looked it up on the internet, and it turned out that vista doesn't support surround sound. The only way to have the surround sound work on my computer is to get a Creative highend soundcard. That can use the program ALchemy (enables surround sound for vista). So my question is, is there anyway that i can make my (5.1) surround sound work without getting a Creative soundcard?. Might there be an issue that i have overlooked?.
And if not, what Creative soundcard should i choose? 
.
