right, this is an attempt at a soundstage diag:
left----------center-------------right
sl----------------------------------sr
-----------------me-----------------
rl------------------------------------rr
as you can see, it is a bit messed up. in the creative calibrations thingy, on the front/rear balance, i have it set as rear as possible. when listening to music, i cannot hear the rear speakers. when i am playing games, this is OK, as sounds play on their own from different speakers. it i turn the front lot down, i can hear the rears when listening to music etc, but when i play games, the rears are much too loud.
i would prefer not to use CMSS if possible. i dont like the way it sounds. is the anything i can so? the speakers cannot be moved.
