I need some technical help. I can only play the game with 2 channel sound even though I have 5.1 surround.
I'm running XP media edition on a 1 week old Sony Vaio, top of the line system. Other games I have like Doom3 have no problem being played in surround but for some reason HL2 won't let me play in surround. My system settings check out and work. When I start HL2 the 5.1 option is auto selected but I only recieve sound from the center channel. If I select "2 channel" I get the full stereo sound but only from 2 speakers, normal stereo. I have all up to date drivers, checked them.
Does anyone have any idea why I wouldn't be able to play in surround? I feel like I'm missing something in the experience by playing in regular stereo. Ideas???.....Anyone?????
