IIRC, you need to set up your speakers in Windows as stereo and then configure your receiver or preamp for 7.1. If you configure Windows for any other surround setup then you’ll run into issues with WMC. I forget exactly what happens but it will affect proper playback.

If you have WMC set to use navigation sounds it can cause issues because it requires mixing the audio. If you turn that off (which I do because it’s annoying) it’s not a problem.
