HL2 AND Dolby Digital Via Intel HD Audio???

I have just built a new PC after waiting a long time to play HL2? Everything looks great, but I can?t seem to get real 5.1 sound.

MB is the Intel D925XBC

I have the coax cable connected to the Denon 3803, and I get DolbyD on the display. Running the test in windows (Intel Sound Studio). The sound is working as expected.

When in the game, if I select 5.1, I can only hear sound from Center speaker, and only sounds that are coming from were I am looking at (if I stand in front of someone who is talking to me, I hear him, but when I turn my back to him, I can?t here ANYTHING)

I tried 2 speaker from the game (I still get DolbyD on the AVR display) I still can?t get proper Dolby D sound. I only hear sound from the front two speakers? Even if I turn my back to the person speaking to me, I hear him from the front speakers instead of the back?..

Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to get true DolbyD from the hardware that I am using without having to connect the six analogue connections?

Any help would be greatly appreciated?.

Ahhhh I?ve waited so long to play this game?.

Thanks
