Let me clarify for the record and for the last time, since the thread has begun to become pedantic
We are talking about 4 IDENTICAL speakers on a decent quality amplifier.
We are talking about 4 speakers which are literally 110/110/ 95/95cm's from my head - the difference is 15cm's
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound <- read this, please.
Now.
EVEN IF these silly claims of harmonic buffer overflow goatse distortion and other things from HERE http://www.satcure-focus.com/audio/page9.htm are even remotely true, the OP doesn't care - he (me) wants to hear video content, music, flash video from his speakers evenly, despite this apparent fact.
When a movie comes on which IS 5.1 and doesn't want to talk to my speaker, fine.
When a game comes on which has enemies in front of me and not behind - no rear sound is fine also!
However I would like a permenant surround effect, without adding some kind of hall / room / 'pro logic' trickery to the signal. I simply want it copied as Asus do with their Realtek onboard products.
Many other people want this and I don't think I should need to justify it, it's pretty standard stuff.
Sorry if I'm all

Hence the frustration.
EDIT: For the record several people have tried to offer some helpful suggestions.
