In order to do this you have to start the Control Panel for "Sounds and audio
devices" and select "Loudspeaker settings", "Advanced", "5.1 surround
loudspeakers".
On most systems the program does this automatically while using
DirectSound.
Import and export of surround audio files
Import
Interleaved 6-channel Wave files and MP3 Surround files can be imported. On
loading, these can be transformed automatically into 3 stereo Wave files and
the corresponding track settings can be activated (First track L/R, second
track C/LFE, third track Ls/Rs).
Export
Surround exports can occur in any one
of the following formats:
 Interleaved 6-channel Wave files
 MP3 Surround files
 Windows Media files (Windows Media Audio or as a surround soundtrack of a
Windows Media Video).
The files created are fully compatible with the normal file formats, this means
that they can also be played on computers incapable of playing surround (in
normal stereo).
The export can be implemented with the same menu commands (for example,
Menu File -> Export arrangement -> Audio as Wave) like the normal stereo
export. You will then be asked if the export should be in stereo or surround
format.
