Can you name a recent FPS game which supports true 5.1 dolby digital sound?
No racing or flight simulator please.

Doom III has 5.1 sound. Not sure if it was true dolby digital. I think even Half-Life 2 had multi-channel surround support.

Nowadays almost all games support multichannel sound but they are not dolby digital. For that you would require the sound to be encoded in Dolby digital and you would require an external decoder to decode it. I think a sound card was just released by a company which encodes the multichannel sound from the games into Dolby in real time and outputs it as a Dolby stream thru SPDIF.
