Can I convert 2 channels Dolby Pro Logic II wav files to 5.1 ac3?

Hello everyone.

I know that someone has posted this question already, but seeing as this happened eight years ago, I thought it best to post it again, because technoloy might have improved.

Six months ago, I bought the soundtrack CD for Deathly Hallows Part II, but seeing as I'm blind and didn't know anything about the bonus section, I only found out a few weeks ago that by putting the CD in my computer, I would be able to download the soundtrack in 5.1 surround, which I was thrilled to do because you can hear so much more details and instrumets in a 5.1 soundtrack, and because I had already bought the limited edition of the soundtrack for Part I, which included a 5.1 surround sound DVD.

However, after downloading the soundtrack, I ended up with a folder full of huge two channels WAV files, while the folder name clearly said surround. I wrote to Warner Bros and they told me that I had to burn the music files on a CD first - WHY? - and then had to play the files through a Dolby Pro Logic Receiver - no idea what that is - to get surround. In my opinion, that's a cock-and-bull story. I played the files through the dolby decoder of K-lite Codec Pack, but it didn't sound better at all, what's more: I could hear no difference whatsoever between my own ripped 128 kbps MP3 files and WB's WAV files.

So here's my question: can I convert these WAV files to real 5.1 ac3s or wavs? If not, what software do I use to hear real 5.1 surround sound, rather than the crackling result you get when K-lite Codec Pack tries to do it? K-lite sometimes give good results, but the fact remains that my 5.1 files of Part I keep sounding better than the two channel files of Part II.
