There's no point in doing any of that. Everybody on Windows 7 who has a Realtek HD Audio has this problem. Check the 5.1 Surround Sound thread. Should be on page one or 2 here...
The only working methods that I know of are enabling the awful speakerfill option, or some other dumb enhancement that isn't true 5.1
No drivers work. We've contacted realtek but they seem to ignore the issue. So, I've been using speakerfill since Windows 7 came out... Sigh.
