The Realtek audio drivers are giving most people trouble on Windows 7. You will probably have to wait until they release even newer drivers for Windows 7.
I used my Vista ones and my 5.1 system with Realtek audio works fine. I cannot get my SB Xfi extreme gamer to even be seen....grrr.
got the realtek drivers as well.
I'm able to enable 5.1 sound by going to the control panel -> hardware and sound -> sound -> doubl-clicking the main sound device (roughly translated by me from german, it may not be the same)
one of the tabs in that window allows you to select your output format - and yo u can choose 5.1 and it will stick.
