Like the title says I set 5.1 and full range speakers and full range surround. Everything sounds good and then on restart it reverts back. It's really frustrating.

I'm using windows 7. Everything sounds great other than the settings reverting.. For a more visual example of what I'm talking about take a look here.

I figured out the answer. It's the creative software. Whenever it loads it resets it back. All you have to do is disable all creative processes in msconfig. That includes anything in the startup AND services tab.

I know this is a stupid question but some time it is the stupid things we over look. Have you saved your custom profile? You need to save all your sett8ngs to a custom profile for them to save.
