So I've got 5.1 surround sound here, but my system doesn't have anything to automatically upmix programs to at the very least use my subwoofer.
... Well actually, that's a lie. It does, but it sounds horrible. Typically, upmixing done by the game/program or whatever sounds significantly better, so that's why I'm requesting it (that and my driver software does it to my entire system, not just certain programs =/). It sounds pretty dull in comparison to even flash (which now upmixes) without sorta-kinda utilizing my other speakers.

And sorry if it's already been suggested, but my search didn't pick anything up.

I think that is not much change the sound quality, since I doubt that osu has a 5 channel audio / audiofiles.

Mmmm.... Well this is kinda a novelty, most I can see it doing is very basic channel cloning with a delay which well... Sucks.
My reciever has DD PLII decoder and even with all the upmix profiles < Headphones.

That's not the point. It doesn't increase audio quality or require 5 channel audio, it just upmixes. Meaning: It'll take the 2 channel audio file and distribute it across all the speakers, subwoofer included (the subwoofer is what I care about the most).

My surround setup is actually a headset. In fact, I'd be fine with just the L and R speakers, just with the addition of subwoofer utilization. As I said, it just seems really underwhelming coming from foobar2000 and various games which have surround support and/or upmixing. Upmixing sounds better than you'd think with this headset. Even some emulators support it, like PCSX2, and it sounds fantastic on this headset (especially of course, when the game supports dolby shenanigans).
