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. :)

Hence, it is better to have the bare minimum processes load at boot up and then the user can start required programs using shortcuts.
