Make sure that your speakers are connected
very correctly. I mean if your speakers are four point surround or 5+1 speaker system, check the connections to make sure that they are all correct and fits the instructions on the Manual of the speaker system.
Then, go to Control Panel>Audio, Speech and Music Devices>Audio Effect and Audio Devices>(On the Speaker settings part)Advanced>
And here select the most appropriate speaker setting Because Windows Media Player uses all speakers on my computer ( I have a FourPointSurround system) when I'm listening to music on WMPlayer but Emotion Sounds and Winks (and maybe a bit more) uses only my Front speakers. (Also this help is valid for XP
