I've had 5.1 sound for a couple of years now, and I absolutely love it in games. It's not quite as important in SH4 than in other games, because you don't normally need the sound clues to figure out what direction the enemy is coming from, but it's still immersion. I go on the bridge while we're on the surface, and I hear diesel rumble coming from the rear speakers (which are behind me in my setup). I can tell which direction planes are in by the sound, also.
