But it should work..that's the problem. It works perfectly for me but not for him. However he has a different sound card and plus we don't know what exactly is wrong or what he didn't do. 
5.1 acting like 2.1

actually, its vice versa. Yours is doing something wrong. His is doing it right.

No problem here, it works on my brother's computer also using his own x-530 speakers with different 5.1 sound card (some crap he got from compusa), and the software that came with it. It's to bad it doesn't work for you onyo, if it's doing something wrong then I'll just leave it the way it is (working).

i just tried it without CMSS-3D which can make any non-5.1 source to play simulated "5.1" i guess. and its worse for me at 2.1, CMSS-3D improves music so much for me, just seems so layered and much nicer the bass is more responsive.
here's the deal.
most music recorded in stereo sound best in stereo. because manipulating that signal causes distortion among other thing.
but most people who aren't into music as much as audiophile tend to prefer stereo songs tranfers into 5.1 because it add ambience to the music (it loses a lot of bass too). a purist won't like that. we want the pure unaltered sound.
true 5.1 music sounds better than 2.0 music. however, hardly anybody has that. it is SACD (super audio cd) or dvd audio disc. but it hasn't taken the world by storm yet.
