Odd, I don't have that issue using WASAPI & Catalyst 12.1 or Realtek drivers. All 5.1 channels map correctly and I matrix the sides to the backs of my 7.1 using PLIIx, and it clearly maps the sides to the backs, not the front to the backs.
Just to be clear, if you play 5.1 content your BL & BR channels simply mirror your FL & FR channels?
Is there any chance your receiver is set to 5.1 stereo (map stereo to all channels)?
What happens when you "test" the individual speakers from the windows sound configuration panel?
And what does your receiver show when you play 5.1 content?
