Check to make sure that the settings in Windows are set for 5.1 sound (volume control > properties). When I play music in WMP 10 sound comes from four channels. Personally I prefer stereo and therefore I set my receiver to stereo when playing music from my PC via the digital input. Have you tried ProLogic mode on the receiver? ProLogic will decode the surround information in the music and sounds quite good.
