RE: Switch surround sound channels?
I'm in the same kind of situation (surround speakers positioned properly for TV, but incorrect when using the PC. Wondered the same too, and if you do find an affordable solution I'd like to hear it, but didn't put too much effort into looking for it myself.

The things is, while all my audio from my PC comes through my surround speakers, not much audio from my PC actually is surround sound. None of the music, none of the regular applications, movies are mainly played on the TV screen, high-end games I play on Xbox (TV)... simple games generally don't do surround. So yeah, PC mostly does stereo (x2) where it doesn't that much how speakers are positioned.

Also: If you really want proper surround sound on your PC you also have the center speaker to deal with where by far most of the sound comes from. Watching a movie or playing a game where all of the dialog comes only from the left side gets tiring quickly.
