No Sound from Surround Speakers
To receive surround sound in a multi-channel speaker system connected to analog out jacks of a Sound Blaster card, you can enable CMSS (Creative Multi-Speaker Surround) to upmix stereo or mono sources. To receive surround sound in a multi-channel speaker system connected to the digital out jack, the source material must be encoded with multi-channel audio data, you must have an external decoder, and you must disable onboard decoder (if applicable).
