I have have a 5.1 surround sound setup with two front, two rear and a sub.

Surround sound works great, but when I want to play music from iTunes or any other stereo source, It only plays through the front speakers and the sub.

My goal is to get the SAME audio to play out of the front and rear speakers, just as it would if the COMPUTER only saw the AMP as stereo, and the AMP dealt with distribution.

I have tried clicking the "Speaker Fill" button to no avail. If I put the sound effects environment to room, the rear speakers play an echo of the front ones, even if I set the distance to 0.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Julian
