Surround sound problem

[K3V]

If it doesn't seem different than the speakers on your TV, you either:

A) Have a TV with amazing audio
B) Have a crappy surround sound setup
C) Still have something configured wrong

The difference between your TV speakers and 5.1 surround sound should be huge. Check out the manual for your receiver and make sure it's at the right setting for DD.

I totally agree. The difference should be enormous.

Make sure you are playing something that has 5.1 too. You should be surrounded by sounds, and be able to hear where they are coming from.

Its just that the tv has really good speakers. Halo and Rez (especially Rez) benefit from it, but I don't think its worth the $45 I paid at Circuit City (Monster Cables). The audio sometimes sounds hollow compared to the tv speakers. I'll probably play through Halo again and return it.

That seems really odd to me. What TV do you have? And what speakers do you have for the 5.1 setup?
