Multiple Monitor Computer and 4.1 Surround Sound Placement

[daveclose]

Hello, I need help in deciding where I should place/what i should do to my speakers for my setup
I have 4.1 surround and i used to just have the primary computer monitor so i would have front left on the left of the monitor rear left on the left behind me and so on.
Now however, I have a second monitor and I plan to use my tv card and to watch films on it.
However I can't watch films and stuff on the second monitor as the sound would be coming from the wrong place (from the area of the first monitor). however i sometimes will still want to watch videos on the primary monitor and want audio coming from that in the right place.

What would be my best slauthion to this? I would be able to experiment with extra speakers and stuff, any ideas????
Thanks

If I might make a different suggestion....

Why don't you just use one monitor and purchase a KVM switch so you can use 1 keyboard, mouse, and monitor for both PCs. That will eliminate the problem and give you more desktop space to boot.

how would that eliminate the problem
i would still have right and left etc. comming from wroung places.

PS, its not two computers its just one with two moniters

My bad, I thought you had a 2nd PC too. If you have to have 2 monitors and they're not set side by side, you're not going to ever get the speakers set up properly for both of them - sorry.
