well....... there are sample files on kazaa that has the surround sound effect, all u have to do is search for THX then many sample files will come up after u download these play them and listen carefully when playing to see if each speaker works. or if u have a dvd drive on ur pc u could rent a dvd with 5.1 surround sound and test it out.
