5.2 should of course be 5.1, admin?

I've just bought a 5.1 system, what are games that show it off the most?

5.2 changed to 5.1 :)

And I think Far Cry supports pretty decent audio.. you can also bet that Half Life 2, Doom 3 and so on will...

As for me, I'm on a 4.1 system.

Tried Far Cry, didnt seem that good.
Call of Duty was much more noticable.

I'm on a RealTek AC'97 chip with a set of old Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers.  I've had these speakers for something like 4 years, and they have developed a short in the male DIN plug.  A lot of bass can vibrate the cord just right to cause the left speaker to cut off.  Kind of depressing.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I do not know much about sound systems, but I believe I picked the right choice in the poll.

2 speakers.

I use headphones, but my PC has the nVidia Soundstorm chipset, capable of Dolby 5.1 surround. Should my financial woes ever let up, I wouldn't mind wasting money on a 5.1 system. :nod:

Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital, but only a 4.1 speaker set (which is still good enough for me).  Logitech Z-560

Zalman 5.1 headphones.
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

Cambridge Soundworks 4.1... the old buggers still work, bought them when I bought Diablo II... had to re-wire the rear channels(they don't hold up to rolling furniture well), but otherwise they rock. haven't been able to blow them up, yet... and i've tried.

Let me guess...these?

In addition to above speakers, I have an Audigy 2 (NX, I think...it's the little box) and a Realtek AC97. Both can do 5.1, though the Realtek I'd have to buy/make special adaptors for the connectors (It's a motherboard-builtin card).
