    Audio CDs are only recorded in stereo, so you are only going to get sound out of two channels (plus the sub) to get 5.1 you are going to need to purchase something recorded in 5.1, a lot of bands are putting out DVD versions of their albums that have the songs remixed into all the channels. Now if you play a DVD movie that is coded in 5.1 you will get sound out of all 6 channels.

    good call......
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    mines does the same, but I can "force" my system into playing it into all 6 speakers and all it does is play the music through the satellite speakers but just a bit quieter..

    definitely start buying releases that are in special edition 5:1 versions... Devils and Dust from Springsteen had a 5:1 mix and it was pretty eerie to hear strings being twanged behind you.. :cool:
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
