Jaws 11, Windows Media Player and Surround Sound in Win 7

Hey there,

I am having problems with my surround sound in Win 7. Whenever I set
it to 5.1, jaws just comes out of the sub woofer and when I set it on
quadrophonic, it comes out of the speakers but is so low, any music
played in Windows Media Player drowns it out.

Even when jaws is on the sub woofer, the music in the other speakers
drowns it out actually. In my volume mixer, I have jaws volume set to
100% and even Windows Media Player at 6% volume is louder than jaws.

Any idea how to fix this? Is there another media player that would
work better for volume control in relation to jaws? I used to use
winamp but it wouldn't play in surround on XP. I'd like to be able to
use my 5.1 and have jaws come out of the speakers really so if anyone
knows a way to help me with that too, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks!

-Marc
