Most music-tracks are recorded in stereo, 7.1 or 5.1 surround sound really is quite useless, all it will do is split and divide the track in ways that it was not produced/reocrded to be split, and then you'll get all sorts of EQ problems and losses to quality. Unless you want to constantly readjust your equalizer and surround-setup everytime you play a different genre/style of song, it's probably best to just cut out the surround and keep it to a 2.1 when listening to music. I know very few artists that record with 5.1 support, and the only guy I know that produces his music specifically for full-ambient 7.1 is Amon Tobin.
lol wat you know nothing. Ever heard of SACD or DVD Audio? 6, 8,.. mics recording sound from different angles creating multichannel output and not splitting stereo like you said LOLD big time

Sounds like you're a bit envy you can't hear what others can.
Hardly any recording artists nowadays use this technology, so fuck off Sup with your techgeek pseudo-audiophilia. You're too poor to be an audiophile, and too desperate and contrived to ever be considered one by the BF2s community. Besides, the cock-measuring competitions and random "
Aha! I Googled this information and it trumps your Googled information!" topics in Tech have firmly established the aspiring-'audiophiles' of BF2s as nothing more but laughing jokes. tl;dr: Even if you do triumphantly prove a masterful knowledge of audio wikipedia, everyone still thinks you're a smarmy cunt about it.
The fact is that for 90% of music, regardless of the encoding/transcoding quality, the actual sound in the
first place was recorded for 'traditional' listening purposes, not for surround sound environments. When something at a studio-level is balanced, EQ'd and tracked to the traditional left/right stereo/sub format, all surround-sound systems and soundcards then essentially have to 'emulate' a surround sound experience by splitting that original source and blagging it half-assedly. It's not as good. You lose quality, clarity and fidelity. Simple. I don't care what technologies do exist to allow multi-channel recording and surround-sound support - I already acknowledged some artists record with 5.1/7.1 positional/surround support - my point was that considering Logitech's PC/Gaming orientated surround speakers as "good" for audio purposes is silly, because they're not. 2 monitor/studio speakers would do a far better job than any high-end PC surround system, and the properly geared hi-fi/surround systems that cost several K are clearly not what anyone gives a fuck about on this forum/this thread. Save that sort of wang-waving for actual audio-tech Forums, no one here cares, it's a gaming forum.
