Using a computer as a surround decoder?

Of course it will be at HTPC, but I still have some stuff the isn't run through the PC. As I already got a DVD player, that's the one I'll be using for viewing films. And the VCR still has some uses. And of course TV via Satelite.. So I got some audio sources, some digital, some stereo and some stereo with surround signals as well. Can I feed this through the computer and drive the integrated nForce2 Soundstorm 5.1 output? Well, at the moment the speakers are a Logitech 4.1 setup, but the "pseudosurround" doesn't really work. So I need something to drive the speakers with more clear surround effects. And as guessed, I'm no audiophile.. Just wanna maximise the benefits of what I've got. __________________ The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong, is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair (Mostly Harmless, by Douglas Adams) WYGIWYGAINGW=What you get is what you're given and it's no good whining!
