i have a creative 5.1 speakers .. winamp plays fine in all five speakers ..

it worked fine in winamp 5.094 too .. now i am using winamp 5.1

i think u hav to enable CMSS (Creative Multi Surround System or something like that)

to enable it, open Creative Play Center, Open the Tray Window which shows the number pad .. Then click CMSS and click On
