5.1 sound problem

[cvrak]

HI,

I have an Acer Aspire 8930 laptop and I occasionaly use Creative SB Extreme, in order to connect the laptop in my Creative's 5.1 system, and my Sharp LCD TV. I choose 3/2+SW 5.1 from AC3 filter, the sound is ok.

When SB Extreme is disconnected and I watch a mkv movie with 5.1 sound in my laptop, I have problem with the sound. If I choose 3/2+SW 5.1 channels, I hear only the SL and SR channels, and nothing else. If I choose 2.0 stereo system I hear everything, but stereo instead of 5.1
At AC3Filter properties "panel", I see the green output VU meters for L, C, R channels but so sound.
Do I have to make some setting in BS Player?

Pls advise

Chris

Does your laptop have 5.1 sound system ? I mean, does it have 6 speakers ? If not, when you select 5.1, you can't hear the sound for RL, RS, C, SW, because you don't have them.

Yes it has 5.1 sound system

Yes. so it seems.
In control panel configuration, does 5.1 setup it's selected ?

Offtopic: most sites complain about the speaker system, you can barely hear the other speakers in 5.1 mode.
