what's it set up as in the game? Don't have either, so I can't say where the setting is... just have a look around...

what sound card are you using & how have you connected to the speakers.

I presume for music you have a lead from the cd/dvd player to the sound card?

I'm guessing he's using the card & speakers mentioned in here

I had this using a AC97 with a 5.1 speaker system in Halo I found by enabling hardware acceleration in the system settings within the game and the EAX system when I got past the intro to the main menu and in the game I had 5.1 sound.

I've got the front three working but not the back two.

I couldn't care less, HL2 is astonishingly good, especially on my new rig!

Apparently the 3.63 drivers are what I'm after. Will get them at some other time.

D'oh, good point. Just a speaker set.

Im using the AC97 on my Gigabyte board and HL2 sounds fantastic with my 4.1 Surround!
