Note:  So, here's a fix to fix your Logitech headset to make it have Surround Sound if it doesn't have it.  This is NOT the fix for Minecraft, but a fix for the Logitech headsets in general that are not getting surround sound in Windows.

I unplugged my Logitech g930 headset from a USB 3.0 port, put it in a different port (USB 2.0) and bam.. guess what?  It worked!  I have surround sound.  Again, this does not work with Minecraft.  I uninstalled Minecraft, reinstalled it, and it's still an issue.

This is not just with headsets.  My computer speakers (Gigaware) have the same issue.  They're 7.1 surround sound and when I play music from the jukebox and stand directly in front of it, it's very feint.  When I turn to my left, I can hear it on the right speaker.  When I turn to my right, I can hear it on my left speaker.  When I spin around and face away from it and the jukebox is playing behind me, I don't hear anything at all.  The jukebox test is the best way to see if there's an issue or not.  Also, I've noticed being in a minecart and having your reticle in the middle of the screen, facing forward directly with the rail, you don't hear anything.  

Will  update with any additional info I can find or any other workarounds.  So far, none that I've tried work.

Update:  Don't know what happened, but my computer speakers work with the surround sound in Minecraft.  However, my headphones still do not.
