Vegas - thanks for this. I have been wrestling with Mac audio for over 6 years - since switching from Windows machines.
I want to be clear - with this setup you are able to get iTunes to play music (not 5.1 encoded movies - normal tracks) through all six speakers? I have a Hercules USB sound card that will drive my speakers (I can get to the speaker config - they all test fine), but only the L/R ones are in use when itunes plays. Don't care about movies (I never watch movies on the mac - but I DO want full surround sound from my logitech X-530. Under boot camp - they sound great.

Under Mac osx - they are 2.0 speakers;-( The only difference in the audio midi setup is that the Hercules card shows 'Source' as 'default' and there is no drop down menu. So is the creative upmixing the 2ch streams coming from itunes? Can you adjust channel volume separately? This fix worked beautifully for me. Hunted around a lot on the net trying to find a way to link up my old Creative Inspire 6.1 6700 speakers to a new iMac. Got all the speakers wired up around the study and am now happily bathed in sound from my iMac without needing to resort to buying and wiring up a new set.
Haven't tested movie surround sound yet (The 5.1 speaker sound tests are all working - so 5.1 with a movie should be fine) - but just to sit and get some proper decibels through iTunes is enough to make me write a thank-you. Thank you very much indeed Vegas! I've got: -iMac 27 MC814 -USB Sound Card: Creative (SB 1095) X-Fi 5.1 Pro -Speaker set: Creative G550W So, I don't remember, how I done 5.1, but I totally remember, that it was crazy manual about apps Soundflower + AU Lab + X-Fi = it's still work. I'd created some profile in this apps and now in Output: Soundflower 2ch and in Input SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro.
Aaaand I've really have 5.1 sound, but don't know, is it trustly 5.1.but got music from social network (browser), iTunes and etc from 5 speakers and subwoofer. And also I can controll volume level from keyboard (master volume). Today I'd looked through my Mac settings and thought, why it was done so strange on my Mac, why in Soundflower 2 channel profile and really I've got 5.1, because input and output status looks strange. Why in output Soundflower? In output I've got built in speakers and hdmi-on-TV sound, I'd thought, that here is 'physical' items, different 'ends' and here should be X-Fi sound card (that named like External bla bla interface). And input - from where sound come in - line In or etc.
And also - Soundflower got itself like input too.combined device by default? With input and output? So I googled this post and make exactly like topic starter said - and by this settings have: -2ch (left and right front) sound in all apps, movies, music -no master volume (disabled keyboard up and down volume) Changing channels on speakers in 5.1 mode of External Digital Audio Interface - nothing changes, always sound from frontal speakers. So my way - is Soundflower + AU Lab?)) And don't touch it? I just don't want to waste my Mac with strange soft and configurations, about which I can forget, but want to have 5.1 + master sound control.
What I've need to do? Does AirPort Express solve my problem? With Z550W I think not, because it has no optical input( If I got another Creative Logitech will be somewhere sound transformated in 5.1?
Or I will need something like Soundflower + AULab to create 5.1 stream from stereo (or what that aps do.). I got similar problem. Genius 5000 5.1 soundsystem, Creative X-Fi sound card. Everything set up according to the instructions.
When I open 'configure speakers' in Audio Midi setup, I can test and hear them all one by one. As soon as I use itunes, vlc or play music from web it comes only trough front left and right speaker (no center, sub, rear:/). The closest I could get to using all 5 speakers was: 1. Using soundflower 2.1 channel and mixing sound (2.1 sound in all 5 speakers) 2.

Using 1 jack from speakers directly to mac (2.1 sound in all 5 speakers) - and the sound is the same without using the sound card Is there anything better to get real 5.1 with this setup?
