Lac development on the decoding side. But then again you can always spread the sound over the speakers. Two lefts and two rights.

The way 5.1 works is that if the source does not provide a 5.1 signal, it simply copies the 2 or 2.1 to the other speakers. This is the same if you put a mono record on a stereo record player, or play a stereo DVD on a home unit with surround sound.
I would probably check the sound card settings first. And also check the audio settings in GW itself. When I get home tonight, I will see if I can duplicate this problem in my home system.

I have the same problem, 2 speakers work the rest is "dead". On other games it does work though :|

Check your settings.
GW works with 5.1.
In GW Options, Set for 3D Hardware Acceleration. (SET EAX if you have a good Creative card)
IN WINDOWS, you have to make sure that your speakers are set to 5.1 in the Sound Options.
I have a 5.1 system and an Audigy 2. Surround Sound works perfectly.

Onboard sound taxes the system far more than a PCI card like a Sound Blaster.
Have you tried updating your drivers from your board manufacturer's site?
