    I've been doing some reading on this, and it seems to be something a lot of people are trying to do but not finding anything straight forward. From what I gather in this thread, the 5.1/DD/DTS is used in movies but it takes a bit more to get it going in Games.

    Well I got realtek drivers installed but still forced to 2 channels. Guess I have to buy some regular comp speakers later. Thanks for all the help guys.

    But you can bit stream out on the X-FI card. So it should be pretty good if you have a speaker setup or surround sound system that can process DDL & dts.

    Only reason I bring this up now is because I had to RMA the MSI board & NewEgg was kind enough to inform me that this board was a "Replace only" purchase. So I will now be getting another MSI board with the X-FI, so I might as well use the X-FI since I'll have it.
