Be sure to select Dolby Digital in the settings on the dashboard. Start the xbox without a game to get there.

Not all games support DD 5.1 sound though. The only one that I have on your list is DOA3 and it doesn't support DD 5.1 Try out Halo or Blood Wake. Both of those have some great surround sound usage.
