Do you have Windows configured to surround sound as well as your sound device?

Weird, have you patched GTA 4 to the latest version? Do you have your audio device's latest drivers?

Dont you need dolby digital live for that? I dont have gta4 for pc, but any other pc game only outputs in pcm... with dolby digital live that pcm audio is converted in real time to dolby digital.

Download this link

edit: I guess you dont really need dolby digital live for gta 4, but get it anyway as the sound card does all the conversion work instead of the cpu.

dang. Does your surround sound system support hdmi audio? Mine does and all I do is plug in my 4850 direct to the receiver and 7.1 sound comes out.

ya i dont have the spdif input on my grafix card anyway but my soundcard is dolby digital and i have it hooked to my theater system via the optical so i do get dolby digital and it does read on my theater system that it is dolby digital and in fact it almost sound better on my computer than my theater system but i cant hear niko talk or any of the main characters talk unless i switch the output option in gta to stereo then it does not sound as good
