can you guys name me a good media player that will play back 5.1 audio? or maybe i just havent figured out how to get it to work w/ vlc or zoom. even wmp requires a purchase to run 5.1

i use WMP 11 but just to let you know most songs are a 2 channel source...so in order to enable 5:1 you need to turn on the matrix effect if your speaker setup has one.

yeah I've noticed the 2channel source thing... not sure how to set up matrix. though I did run a SRS sandbox program which gave me output on all 5.1 channels, but after switching audio-modes I lost all sound completely. not sure what the deal with that is I'll just uninstall SRS. I was hoping to find a winamp plugin for 5.1 audio but there doesnt seem to be one.

well, apparently SRS creates a virtual sound card and everything has to be run through it. not sure how this will effect gaming..guess i will be uninstalling it a lot.

KMplayer is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Maybe even better, since I think it can do everything including make and slice bread. Oh yeah, and it's free and self-contained like VLC.

Hi, I totally agree with you. KMplayer is the greatest and its free also.:)

I've used WMP 11 for movies/DVD but when it failed on me giving me DRM errors which I could not remedy I used MPC and VLC, winamp for music, sometimes wmp11 too..
