Disabled surround sound on windows 7, how do i enable now? +++ALL POINTS TO BEST ANSWER! need fix ASAP! fast?

I set all output jacks to "Front speakers", this way I managed to get good quality sound from every speaker. The bad thing about it is when you want to play games with real surround sound, for all speakers would just play the same thing. My solution was to export 2 registry keys, one with the original configuration, and one with all jacks set to front ( or what suits you best), then just click the .reg files to switch between "real" and "fake" surround. To avoid having to restart the system every time for the changes to take effect, follow these steps: 1) Close every app which may be using the audio device (such as media players). 2) Apply the desired .reg file. 3) Go to Device Manager, select "Sound, video and game controllers". Right-click on the Realtek device and select "Disable" (if no app is using the sound you should not be prompted with the restart message). 4) Right-click it again and select "Enable". That's all. I hope I could help some of the troubled people like me. I searched day and night everywhere and I was getting sick of this. At least now I have an alternative to this issue. Good luck ?

Oh, that's easy. You go back to "Playback devices" You should still see your: "headphone," and "digital audio." Right click anywhere on it. And click on "SHOW DISABLED DEVICES" Now all you need to do is enable it again.
