Having problems setting up a 5.1 logitech surround speaker system. It plays music in 2.1 and I have no idea how to change it. It will play DVD movies through 5.1 no problem.
Any Ideas??

Assuming you have all the right cables plugged in going from your sound card to your logitech speaker setup (and you also have 5.1 set as your sound setup in your sound config settings) ..
Depending on the drivers and sofware you are running for your sound card .. you'll need to tell it that you want music to be distributed to all your speakers (your drivers and software may not be set up to do this by default)
I run a creative Audigy2 and the software I use is Creative Surround Mixer, in there is an area called EAX Console, in there it has a part called CMSS 3D, it has options for you to enable CMSS 3D and choose the type of surround you want for 'stereo audio' it's likely that CMSS 3D or the equivalent in your system isn't on by default (it wasn't for me) so by enabling it, it puts the front 2 channels over the rear 2 channels aswell.
I use CMSS2 as the setting under 'CMSS 3D' and have the stereo focus 16% to the front, but your settings will depend on the room and speaker location
