sound poblems

I have a soundsound system, with 5 speakers and a sub (5.1). When windows vista plays any sound files i only have the left and right speakers working (which is very poor sound), but if a play a DVD i have all the speakers working. In windows XP I did not have this problem! An anyone help!

I have sorted the problem out myself I went to Realtek'ss website and dowloaded Realtek Media Player(RtlRack). Run it once and i have full surround sound.

Daz,
I have understand that you have experince with sound issue with windows vista
Daz, i Suggest you to install the orginal drives for the sound and then restart your computer.
My Opinion the hcl with windows vista is ok. but some of the drivers it doesn't have the full drivers devices, I think it will be after the new updates for the windows vista
