I'm pretty sure that UT uses your Windows speaker configuration, so if
you have your speaker configuration set to 5.1 in Control Panel then
you should be set.  

Outside of that you have a few in-game settings under the "Audio" tab
that can affect the quality of sound.  For the best sound, use "H/W 3D
+ EAX" and un-check "System Driver".  But, that has a tendency to
break voice communications.  If in-game voice comm is important to
you, then the best setting is "3D Audio" and put a check by "System
Driver".

I have one new game, Flat Out 2 (car with rally) and its setup settings have 
value to set 5.1 sounds. Becouse this information I start to remember my old 
ut2004.ini file and some 'speakers=6' value. But this new 3369 do not have 
this kind of value anywhere. Hope I do not remember wrong or remember others 
games ini file..

Till now voice communications is not important for me. I have installed 
Sound Blasters special driver version to my UT2004. There comes some new 
sounds when sound card is in 'game mode'.

I tested those drivers but decided not to use them.  It's an
interesting concept but I didn't get much value from them.
