testing surround 5.1 system

[mettleh3d]

hey guys. i just installed my 5.1 system and plugged each cord into the PC. Is there any program/movie/game that can test if the surround is working besides just simple sound coming out?

sound comes out of each satellite but when i try to test speakers on CS:source test, rear right and rear left dont play any sounds.

Hope i made sense. thanks

If you have an Audigy2, go to the console for speakers and test each speaker's channel.

Yeah, some soundcards / integrated sound will have little speaker test programs that will say "front right" etc. and it will come out the speakers that it says (hopefully ).

If it's just the rears that aren't working, make sure you have everything including windows sound control set up to 5.1

If your speakers have a "fade", make sure the rears aren't turned down all the way.
