Audio Options are whacky

Hey everybody,

Okay, I just hooked up a surround speaker system to my comp but I couldn't hear anything from the rear speakers.
So, I went into the Control Panel and realized that under Advanced Audio Options, blah blah blah, under speaker type it is set to LAPTOP for some reason. Now normally I would just change this to surround, but it's all grayed out. Can someone help me? It's very annoying.

Thanks,

Bryce
