How the Hell do you get surround sound in itunes?

Before I got hacking my system up and screwing something up I thought I would paste this out to the community and ask for some help.

I have a 5.1 Front,Center,Right and two surrounds rear left and right and want to enable surround sound in iTunes. I'm not concerned that the music is in stereo I just want it to play in all speakers if possible.

My games, etc work but all music in iTunes will only play in Left,Center,Right anyone know a way to force it to work?

Have you installed the Realtek sound drivers and enabled Speaker fill in sound manager?

No I just used the installed drivers from windows 7. Do I need to install a 3rd party add-on and is that recommended?

trying to keep un-necessary crap off this pc.

can you provide a link to windows 7 version?

thanks MR. Grim I installed them and it does work however as soon as I installed them the speakers started to pop with static and crackle unless I tunr down the speakers any Idea wht this would do that?

Im using a creative 5.1 surround system (2 years old)

Thanks again however that did not fix. However I found the fix and would like to post this in case anyone else has this problem.

Thanks to Grim I installed the correct drivers for my Motherboard (duh!) and once I did that I was getting a bunch of static whenever I did anything on the PC wiht no music playing etc. HDD, mouse moving etc.

The cause of this interference is from the PC speaker, or rather, how the pass-through of the PC speaker to the onboard audio, is implemented. The onboard audio is automatically setup to receive PC speaker signals from your motherboard and route them to the outputs. This path was not very well isolated and as a result interference (EMI) from other system components can creep in, resulting in the noisy output from your speakers.

So the solution is pretty easy. Open control panel, sound click on speakers, properties,and than the levels tab.

Turn the PC Beep slider to ZERO all the way the left and Presto no more static and all other sounds work perfect.

Thanks to all those who helped me through this.
