I don't quite understand why in such a modern game there's no support for standard 5.1 surround? I have an MSI motherboard with 5.1ch surround via Optical cable into my Sony audio system (surround speakers and sub), is there no way to get proper sound from Battlefields as personally I find the sound quality to be quite poor, i.e. you turn around and the progression of sounds from left to right is very tacky - plus there isn't any clear distinction between someone walking towards you from the left as opposed to the right.

Films and similar sound incredible through my system, and I now want my favourite game to sound as good - is this possible?

p.s. GOD DAMN I LOVE THIS GAME!
