"Surround", see Light Cycle.
Surround sound is the concept of expanding the spatial imaging of audio playback from one dimension (mono/Left-Right) to two or three dimensions.
This is often performed for a more realistic audio environment, actively implemented in cinema sound systems, technical theatre, home entertainment, video arcades, computer gaming, and a growing number of other applications.
Many popular surround sound formats have evolved over the years. They include discrete 5.1 Surround sound on DVD-Audio (DVD-A) or SACD (Super Audio CD), ambisonics, quadraphonic, Dolby 5.1 Surround sound, DTS, DVD-Video (DVD-V), and MP3 Surround.

"Sound surround" is a system of speakers for your computer that has (usually) five speakers that you set in a circle surrounding you. When the sound plays, it is designed to send different sounds to each speaker so it has an effect like the object is moving around or past you. Used a lot in movies to give a more real effect. For the speakers to work properly, the movie (or music) has to be in "surround sound" format. Otherwise, you just it regular stereo sound over more speakers.

I think u got that backwards, it's surround sound & it refirs to the 5. 1 speakers systems that are on the market, they have a sub woofer that cranks the bass & 4 directional speakers that sit in front & rear positions around ur room to fill it with sound from all directions

that means when you play a movie or a game .. the sound come from everyplace around you .. like if a guy is coming from the left .. the left speaker will make a sound .. And same about right .. same about far sounds and near sounds .. same about sounds behind you and infront of you .
i think the word surround explains it self .. it surrounds you
