5.1 speakers with only 2 speakers working

Asked By Hillary Garner 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/16/2011

I recently got a 5.1 surround sound home entertainment set and tried to connect it to my computer. 

When I plugged it in via a Cable Jack it only brings out the sound of 2 speakers. The others are just making a noise like bad feedback.

I also installed RealTek Audio manager as my sound driver. But it still doesn't work.

What can I do?

5.1 speakers with only 2 speakers working

Hello Hillary,

When listening to music, only two speakers are working because it's only two channels, the left one and the right one, that's normal. And about Logitech speakers, you get surround from stereo files you have to push the matrix button. If that doesn't work or you don't dispose of such button, right click on your sound icon in the task bar, next click playback devices.

Select speakers, then click configure. Go to the enhancement table and check the speaker fill in the blanks of checkbox and click apply. That will divide music to all of the devices.
