Do pc games use surround sound?

I know most xbox360 games make use of surround sound but if you plugged a pc into a 5.1 system would you have surround sound games?

if u have a 5.1 soundcard (standard on most pc's these days) and if the game supports it then yes ! even old games like Doom3 can run in 5.1 sound.

So the games usually support it and it's up to your hardware?

yeah +90% of post 2003 games usually support it and almost all mboards with onboard soundcards support it, 5.1 souncards are also dirt cheap, i think u can pick 1 up for less than R100 these days if u dont have.
