    How do you really preview all 5 channels in a Dolby Digital 5.1 sequence?

      I'm trying to build up a 5.1 sequence and I'm struggle with the lack of information. I've purchased surcode for CS6 but I'm not sure that helps with a preview.

      I hacked my realtek card to support dolby but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Only LF, C, and RF put out sound. LS and RS end up in the front speakers.

      I've tried most reasonable things so here are some questions that maybe someone can answer?

      1. Has anyone been able to preview in dolby 5.1 with complete isolation of sound by mapping to specific speakers.
      2. If you are using optical what is the method for mapping to channels when it only show "optical"
      3. When I select sound card mapping that shows 8x I can map to specific speakers, but not to optical. It maps, but nothing comes out of speakers.

      Summary: I can't get 5 independent channels to map to speakers.  Is it even possible to do this??? If not I wasted a lot of money on surcode.

       

      Thanks
