You sure I have it backwards? The Soundstorm does Dolby5.1 but the
games don't.

The whole idea of the Soundstorm was to route DirectX audio through
Dolby processor so that it could be played through a home theatre system
instead. All of the separate streams of DirectSound get converted by the
processor into Dolby streams. Remember the Soundstorm is the same audio
processor that came in the original Xbox. Though the Xbox didn't really
get used much by Dolby-home-theatre-equipped teenagers, the potential
was there.

OK, thx for the clarification, so he needed to connect the Soundstorm
to a surround sound reciever to get 5.1 in his games.
