I've bee trying to find a surround sound option but I don't see one. Is there a way to tell STO to output in 5.1?

    thats depended on your output source, do you have a 5.1 capable headset or soundcard?, set the output in game to that, im using a razer megolodin 7.1 headset and it works for me.

    I'm using a Soundblaster X-fi titanium. I run dolby digital live encoding and then I plug in an ear force dss and use the head phones with that. I know its not true 5.1 but the ear force does a good job of simulating it, better than 3d sound. The thing is I know that most games detect and will tell you if you're using 5.1 but sto doesn't seem to. The sound card gets set to 5.1 so its putting out 5.1 I'm just never sure if the game is actually doing that.

    The game will send positional sound based on the number of speakers setup in your X-FI settings. There is no surround mode button in the game, it will simply do this automatically if you have more than 2 speakers selected.
