If any of you out there have a DVD drive and a set of decent headphones and want 5.1, then make sure you try out Dolby Headphone. Even if you are listening to a regular stereo mp3, the sound seems to come from two speakers in front of you, not from right beside your ears. It's only available in a few programs right now (powerDVD is one), but it's amazing. I just bought a set of Sennheiser wireless headphones, and tried out Dolby headphone with a DVD. It was amazing.
I also have a pretty neat setup in that I have the signal split just after it comes from my computer. One goes to the headphones for clear sound, and the other goes to my stereo amp and old tower speakers (powerful, but not super clear) which have the bass turned up. Now when I play a game, I get pretty good surround sound out of the headphones, but when a rocket explodes beside me, the tower speakers kick in and shake the room a little :^)
