To enable 5.1 surround sound on stereo headphones with an Audigy 2ZS

Hi. I found this on the net..

"To enable 5.1 surround sound on stereo headphones with an Audigy series card do the following:In Creative Speaker Settings, untick Synchronise with Control PanelRestart the machineGo into Control Panel -> Sound and Audio Devices and click Adavnced... under Speaker Settings.Select 5.1 Surround Sound SpeakersGo into your Creative Speakers Settings again, and choose Headphones.Now open up the Creative EAX Console and enable CMSS1 (Do NOT use CMSS2)You now have 5.1 sound with stereo headphones.These are the steps that Creative themselves tell you to take.Note, that it uses HRTF, not actual discrete channels (of course), so the sounds will only "appear" to be in 3D. Nothing beats a true 5.1/6.1/7.1 discrete speaker setup!"

I cant get it to work and if it works, how do i test it??
Any ideas or thoughts abut this?????
