Default 5.1 surround and sound card

Can all sound cards technically deliver 5.1 surround sound? If so, could
someone please help me, I can only get the two front speakers working and
the sub, not the center or the sides. I also tried adjusting the sound in
control panel to 5.1, but nothing. Thanks.

I am running windowsme on a toshiba laptop at 300MMX. Thanks. Logitech
X-530 speakers set.

No. To know what your sound card or chip is capable of producing you need
to determine the chipset used. You can do this with a tool such as the
free Everest Home Edition form Lavalys (www.lavalys.com).
