7.1 surround sound not working?

[shaneisaghost 8]

Hey, I have a 7.1 surround sound headset(steelseries siberia v2) and the sound works, but the directions are all mixed up. Sometimes the sound in front will be behind me and same with left and right. Is there a setting or something to get this working with 7.1 surround sound?

Here try this, im not a hundred percent sure if this is what your looking for but you can set what sounds come from where and works pretty well. You dont need a Razor Headset either.

Be sure you get yourself a 7.1 soundcard.

It's all you need and it'll make a world of difference over your onboard audio.

$30 should get you a basic 7.1 card like the Soundblaster Audigy.
