on-board sound card problem (no 5:1 sound)

[Oxymoron]

Hi people,
I have recently had to replace my motherboard with a QDI - KuDoZ 7.
It's all working fine, except I've discovered it doesnt have the ability to stream sound down a 5:1 speaker set-up.
Is there anyway I can manipulate this, so either I get the same sound data-stream through every speaker or some driver/software to recreate the 5:1 surround effect????

Thankyou for your time,
Oxy

Do you mean that the mobo doesn't have the facility to provide more than a stereo pair of outputs from it's onboard sound chip?

Probably the cheapest solution is to buy an OEM Creative Audigy player for about £30. I use one for films, games and music production and think you can't go wrong for the money....

R U sure this motherboard doesn't have onboard 5.1?
I seem to remember that it does?
It could be a simple setup in the sound control panel, have you definately loaded the driver and sound utilities? if so it should be a simple check box to change the settings from 2 to 5.1 speaker system.
