Sound Processing Question

I recently set up my computer with a pair of rear speakers, these speakers are normally my home theatre speakers but I decided I might as well use them since they are right behind my computer area now. Anyway, I managed to connect them to my rear input.. and was dissapointed that just listening to music with the settings set to 4 channel no stereo sound came out of the rear speakers. I'm looking for a 3d stereo effect.
I noticed that my sound manager (Realtek AC97) had different settings such as 'parking lot' or 'generic' that suddenly activated 3d sound, if a bit horrible sounding. I fooled around with customized settings and seemed to find something that gives me clear stereo sound with all four speakers:
The problem is, however, that I do get clear sound but there is a bit of 'harshness' or like a metal hollow sound to everything (especially noticable if I am listening to someone talk) that I can get rid of without muffling the rear speaker sound (I adjust the 'Decay HF ratio' to a lower value usually).
Since I have no idea what most of those things mean and I've just been fiddling with the dials, can anyone reccomend a way to get the clear sound I am looking for, or perhaps give insight into what some of those options actually do? Thanks in advance.
