2.1 Speaker Setting for Windows

 A lot of PC users have 2.1 speaker systems, but are not able to reap the benefits in later versions of Windows edition. Windows 8.1 onward, we have sound settings for stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1 and 7.1. When the 2.1 system is set to stereo settings, the sub woofer would have sound, but wouldn't function as it would normally. Bottom line, No BASS!! Do you want to know, how to set a windows 2.1 system in Windows 8, 8.1 or 10?

    Perfect, thanks!

    This really worked out.

    Some of the steps to get to this panel in Win10 1803+ are different, but the functionality is still the same.

    The speaker test built into the interface verified that I've got a nice full-range 3.1 interface for any apps that care to support it. :)

Google Docs

The most sought out software, when I was working as a store Computer Technician, was MS Office(Microsoft Office.)  I would suggest clients  to go with the Open Office suite, however, they were not really fond of the user interface(UI - the look) of it. It was very crude, yet served the purpose. Along came Google with their Docs app. Google Docs is a great offering for a home user looking for a no-purchase alternative to MS Word. Google has other Office software, too; however we will only concentrate on Google Docs. Well, the first advantage is that Google Docs has no upfront fee.
