In Adobe flash videos, I.e. Youtube, sound comes out of my front sound channel only, nothing out of my rear sound channel.  How do I get sound to come out in all channels?
I have an AC97 Audio chipset that gives me four audio channels.  I have updated to the latest driver.  I have two sliders on sndvol32.  A front and a rear.  If a cut the front, and open the rear sound is gone.  But if I open the front and cut the rear I still have sound.  The rear slider has no affect on the level.  And I can hold my head up to the speakers physically connected to the rear port and low and behold nothing is coming out of them even if the rear slider is all the way up.
Why is sound only directed to the front.  There is an option under advanced on sndvol32 for the rear slider to check or uncheck "Switch Line In to Rear Output"  However it doesn't matter what I set this to, there is no sound from Flash in the rear two channels.
btw any other application for audio, I.e. Winamp or Windows Media Player plays sound on both front and rear channels.
Is there an mistake in the Flash player code?  If a production is recorded in stereo and played back on a surround system, it should still utilize all of the channels right?  Or at least leave it up to the user.  If the user only wants it on the front they can turn down the rear.  But give them the option.  Granted with a stereo only recording, the same right signal will play back on both the front & back right and the same left signal will play back on both the front & back left.
I haven't tried to look for something in flash that actually was four or five channels to test this theory.
