Introduction
Everyone knows that Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 do not perceive the speaker system as expected.
You have to arrange "dances with a tambourine" in order to get the acoustics 5.1 / 7.1 as it should be. In most games, 5.1 / 7.1 acoustics gives an advantage over the opponent, who has stereo acoustics.
Let's start with the settings from the bottom...
Driver installation
Realtek HD Audio Drivers
In order for our acoustic system to work properly, to correctly output sound to the speakers, we need not tricky manipulations with it, but the installation of firewood.
Must be put Realtek HD Audio Drivers R 2.79 - 125.40 MB (131494359) the weight is indicated so that you do not stumble upon various garbage on the Internet. !NOTE- The driver cannot weigh 200-1024 kbps!
Installing the driver is elementary to madness, we press all the time further - further - further ... we restart the computer and rejoice :) This completes the installation of the audio driver.
Sound settings
One installation of drivers is not enough, it is necessary to fine-tune the sound.
The setting is as follows:
1. Let's start by calling the "window" control panel ("Start" → "Control Panel"). Find and open the "Sound" parameter → then, on the main tab "Playback" we will designate the playback device as "Speakers" ("Speakers") → at the bottom left click on the "Settings" button (see the first screenshot). In the window that opens, in the "Sound Channels" list, select "5.1 Surround Sound", after which we will not forget to click on the "Check" button (of course, all speakers should produce sound). After passing the test, let's move on to the next settings, where you need to specify which speakers will be full-range, rear, etc.
______________________________________________________________________________
2. Having properly configured the speakers and clicking on "Finish", we will return to our multi-tab "Sound" window → selecting "Speakers" again, look at "Properties" → in the "Properties: Speakers" window on the "Improvements" tab, check the box next to " Environment", confirming the change with the "OK" button (screenshot). You can also scroll through and check the boxes "Virtual Environment" and "LF Control". This completes our manipulations with the "Sound" applet.
______________________________________________________________________________
3. Now let's open the Realtek Audio Manager (see the "Realtek HD" option in the Windows Control Panel). On the "Speakers" tab, select the "5.1 speaker" configuration → check in the same place that the "Virtual Surround" and "Bass Control Connection" items are activated. Close the dispatcher with the "OK" button (screenshot), and the control panel - of course, with a "cross".
Who has 7.1 acoustics, choose accordingly choose 7.1 and truncated
______________________________________________________________________________
4. I also advise you to put K-Lite Codec Pack Mega, since it contains many codecs, both video and audio. You can download it from the torrent, of course :) Stereo Tool features:
Enhance stereo sound
Two way limiter
10-band compressor/limiter
10 band clipper
10 band equalizer
4 level output limiter
Extra volume
FM stereo encoding
FM RDS encoding
Changing settings with built-in presets
You can use it to customize the sound for yourself. Personally, I set myself, the sound set up perfectly. I'm a music lover :)
PS If the instruction helped, like it, throw it in your favorites too. Thank you!
I checked it out and told, in the game I distributed the moose to everyone (:
So, you have become a happy owner of 5.1-channel computer speakers (AC / acoustic system / acoustics) and correctly connected them to the sound card. What's next? In this note, I will tell you in detail and "pictures" point by point how to correctly and quickly configure sound in windows 7 using the Control Panel and the Realtek HD audio manager. In the last paragraph, I will also mention the rating South Korean media player PotPlayer. Who is interested - read further after the button of the same name.
1. Let's start our brief digging into the settings by calling the "window" control panel ("Start" → "Control Panel"). Find and open the parameter (applet) "Sound" → then, on the main tab "Playback" we designate the playback device as "Speakers" ("Speakers") → at the bottom left click on the button "Configure" (see first screenshot). In the window that opens, in the "Sound Channels" list, select "5.1 Surround Sound", after which we will not forget to click on the "Check" button (of course, all speakers should produce sound). After passing the test, let's move on to the next settings, where you need to specify which speakers will be full-range, rear, etc.
2. Having properly configured the speakers and clicking on "Finish", we will return to our multi-tab "Sound" window → selecting "Speakers" again, look at "Properties" → in the "Properties: Speakers" window on the "Improvements" tab, check the box next to " Environment", confirming the change with the "OK" button (screenshot). This completes our manipulations with the "Sound" applet.
3. Now let's open the Realtek audio manager (see the "Realtek HD" option in the windows control panel). On the "Speakers" tab, select the "5.1 speaker" configuration → check in the same place that the "Virtual Surround" and "Bass Control Connection" items are activated. Close the dispatcher with the "OK" button (screenshot), and the control panel - of course, with a "cross".
Note: You can download the manager with the Realtek sound card driver package from the official website here (see "High Definition Audio Codecs (Software)").
4. If media files in your system are opened not by the built-in (windows Media Player), but by a third-party player, then the final "digging" will be changing the channel settings from stereo to "5 + 1". For example, for the test winner "Choosing the best media player for windows OS: a comparative review of programs for playing audio and video files" Daum PotPlayer "digging" is as follows: when the program is running, press F5 ("Settings") → on the "Audio" tab in the "Speakers" setting " change "2.0 stereo" to "3/0/2 + LFE - 5.1 channels" → "OK" (screenshot).
Actually, this is all - not too difficult and long. All that's left is to experience surround sound by playing your favorite Dolby Digital (DTS) movie.

Setting sound 5.1 in windows 7
Surround sound lovers - hello! The setting can be done using the control panel as well as the Realtek Sound Manager. Open Start > Control Panel > Sound. Find a tab called "Playback" there, then highlight the "Speakers" icon and go to "Customize". If you see a green arrow there, it indicates that this device is currently in use.
Initially, you should check if you have a codec for playing and sound settings at all. If not, you can download realtek for windows 7 at any time. Those who have already downloaded realtek hd for windows 7 and 8 will not have to spend a lot of time setting it up, the sound will now be excellent.
In the window that you have opened in the list, you should find "Surround Sound 5.1" and there click on "Check". After that, you should hear sound from all speakers. It is also important to note that if you do not hear sound from all the speakers, then you can try choosing "7.1 Surround Sound" instead of 5.1.
After you pass the test, then click on "Next". Next, you will need to select in the settings which speakers should be rear, full-range, side, etc. When you finish working with the wizard, you will again need to select the "Speakers" icon and go to "Properties". After finding the "Properties: speakers" window, go to the tab called "Additional features" and there check the box "Virtual surround sound", and then click the "OK" button. After that, you can check the parameters of the installed sound effects again.

Setting up surround sound in windows 7 and windows 8
Hello dear readers. Today's article will be especially useful for music lovers, as I will tell you how to set up surround sound in windows 7 or 8 operating system.The first thing you will need is to purchase speakers and a good sound card. Let's assume that you already have these two components. Then, be sure to install the drivers for the sound card. You can find out the name of your "zvukovuha" using the "Everest" program or any other similar program.
Next, we connect the previously purchased stereo system to the computer. To achieve better sound quality, I would recommend using a 7.1 system, but 5.1 is fine too. Connection of a 5.1 stereo system to the system unit is carried out in the following outputs:
- Orange - subwoofer and center speaker;
- Green - front speakers;
- Black - rear speakers.
The Sound dialog box will open, showing you the devices connected to your computer to output sound. Make sure the sound device you want to configure is set to "default".
Now a new "Setup Speaker" dialog box will open. In my case, two channels appeared in the list of audio channels: Stereo and 5.1 Surround. In your case, it may be 7.1 Surround or some other name. It only depends on the equipment you have connected. Selects the 5.1 Surround channel. If you just set the Stereo value, then only two columns will “light up” on the image in the window, if 5.1 - four additional columns will be added and 7.1 - five additional columns will be added
speakers. 
Then I recommend testing by clicking on the "Test" button. At the end of testing, click "Next" and go to the advanced surround sound settings in windows 7 or 8. I advise you not to change anything here, as the operating system automatically adjusts to optimal performance.
At the very end, you will receive a message that the setup was successfully completed. Click the "Finish" button and you will finish setting up surround sound in windows 7 or 8.
Using this small instruction, you will be able to do everything yourself, without resorting to calling wizards or special services. In the end, I would also like to recommend you to read the article that was previously published on our website about one very useful program with which you can convert the sound in your favorite mp3 compositions from mono to stereo and vice versa from stereo in a matter of minutes in mono.

- 5.1 worked great for me for movies in VLC (in the settings, select "All Options", the Sound section, the "Use S / PDIF if available" checkbox). For the entire system is unlikely to succeed. Like Comment
- "Movies with regular 5.1 tracks" - what are these ordinary ones? Multi-channel tracks for movies can be encoded in different formats (DTS, DolbyDigital, etc.). If the track standard matches the capabilities of your receiver (a bunch of all sorts of icons on the front panel), then it will play multi-channel sound. If this is a game or something else other than what it can decode, then you will not hear anything. The sound card in this case can reproduce the whole thing because its capabilities are not limited to DTS or DolbyDigital. - Similarity of the solution: The receivers have modes of virtual decomposition of stereo signals into all 5.1 channels. Usually this is Dolby ProLogic or similar. Check the instructions for your receiver. Then you will have all 5 speakers playing, although the input signal will be stereo.
And yet, by default, AC3Filter does not seem to have an option for signal output to SPDIF.

- Good day! I decided not to create a new topic, the question is almost the same. there is an LG TV 42" with S/PDIF output on board, a PC with a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express sound card on board S/PDIF in, analog 5.1 speakers. We want to watch DTS movies with 5.1 sound. everything is OK with TV, the output from the computer is also OK, but the input is only stereo firewood, everything is there.
set up (3-4 years ago) everything worked but the other day I reinstalled Windows and sailed, I remember I also suffered for a long time, help with advice where to dig

Instructions on how to deal with a bunch of wires from a 5.1 audio system and properly connect it to your computer.
What you will need:
- actually 5.1 audio system
- sound card with 5.1 support
- 3 cables "red-white tulips - jack 3.5mm"
Step #1:
As you know, 5 and 1 are the number of audio channels through which the sound signal goes. That is why we have, roughly speaking, 6 speakers at our disposal: a subwoofer ( subwoofer- designated SW) - the main giant of our system, a low-frequency speaker for creating bass; two front speakers (they are called FrontLeft (left) and FrontRight (right), and are designated FL and FR (see photo)); two rear (called either RearLeft (left) and RearRight (right), or SurroundLeft / SurroundRight (RL / RR or SL / SR, respectively) and another central column (Center - denoted by CEN).
Knowing all this, you can proceed to the connection process itself ...
Step #2:
Now your task is to connect all these 6 channels (2 fronts, 2 rears and a subwoofer + center) to the connectors of your sound card. It is easy to guess that by connecting 6 PAIRLY combined channels at the output, we should get only 3. And these same 3 outputs should look like this, as shown in the photo ...
Step #3:
That is, the connection process is as follows:
- two “tulips” connected to the front speakers should go to the green sound card slot
- two "tulips" connected to the rear speakers should go (as a rule) to the black sound card socket
- two “tulips” connected to the subwoofer and center should go (as a rule) to the orange jack
ATTENTION! Paired tulips must be inserted exactly into the “Audio Input 5.1” section, because single tulips coming from the speakers themselves are inserted into the “Audio Output” section (sometimes this section is not named in any way)! Only in this way can you achieve true 5.1 surround sound.
Step #4:
Now that all the wires are connected to the right connectors, you just have to go to Control Panel, select the Sound section (or Hardware and Sound first), then Speakers and click the “Setup” button. Here we select the item “Surround Sound 5.1”, click Next and - voila!
Tips and Warnings:
- Remember: any multi-channel audio (sound in a movie or multi-channel music) will be distributed to 6 of your speakers ONLY PROVIDED that the recording is designed specifically for such a sound! The rest of the sound on your speakers will sound like a simple stereo.
- All the necessary cables should already be included in the speaker kit, but if, for example, there were no "tulips - jacks", you will have to buy them in the store

Hello dear readers. Today's article will be especially useful for music lovers, as I will tell you how to set up surround sound in the Windows 7 or 8 operating system.
The first thing you will need is to purchase speakers and a good sound card. Let's assume that you already have these two components. Then, be sure to install the drivers for the sound card. You can find out the name of your "zvukovuha" using the program " Everest " or any other similar.
Connection of a 5.1 stereo system to the system unit is carried out in the following outputs:
- Orange - subwoofer and center speaker;
- Green - front speakers;
- Black - rear speakers.
By the way, do not forget that surround sound also depends on the location of the speakers in the room. I will give a few examples of how to properly arrange speakers from stereo systems.
Now let's get back to the drivers. Let me remind you that you definitely need to install drivers from your sound card. In addition, your stereo should have come with a software disc. Install it on your computer too. Usually, the software (drivers or utilities) that come with the system are installed without problems on Windows 7 or 8.
If there was no disk, then try looking for software on the official website of the manufacturer of your speakers.
Let's assume that you have everything installed, connected, etc. Now let's go directly to the surround sound setup itself for Windows 7 or 8. Why for both operating systems at once? Yes, because the principle of setting is absolutely identical.
So let's go. Go to menu " Start» and press « Toolbar". Then select the category Equipment and sound", and then click " Sound».
The " Sound", in which you will see the devices connected to your computer for sound output. Make sure the audio device you want to configure is set to "default" .
Now a new dialog box will open " Setup Speaker". In my case, two channels appeared in the list of audio channels: Stereo and 5.1 Surround. In your case it might be 7.1 Surround or some other name. It only depends on the equipment you have connected.
Selects a channel 5.1 Surround. If you set just the value Stereo, then only two columns will “light up” on the image in the window, if 5.1
-Added four additional columns and 7.1
- five additional
speakers.
Then I recommend testing by clicking on the button " test". At the end of testing, click " Next” and move on to the advanced surround sound settings in Windows 7 or 8. I advise you not to change anything much here, since the operating system automatically adjusts to optimal performance.
At the very end, you will receive a message that the setup was successfully completed. Click the button Finish and you will finish setting up surround sound in Windows 7 or 8.
Using this small instruction, you will be able to do everything yourself, without resorting to calling wizards or special services. In the end, I would also like to recommend you to read the article, which was previously published on our website, about one very useful program with which you can convert the sound in your favorite mp3 tracks in a matter of minutes, .
Hello everyone, friends! Today I will help you set up 5.1 surround sound, such as in a home theater (and maybe not only in a home theater ...).
Not a pseudo-quadro and not an expansion of the sound base by mixing an adjacent channel into the phasing.
Namely, so that each audio track on the file has its own column in the room.
This article will help us set up 5.1 sound.
By default, in the player, or rather in the codec, such a setting is made that the sound on the receiver from the computer is only in the front channels: left and right.
It's time to expand your horizons!
5.1 means the following system:
C- center channel (it is more often used for voice)
SW- subwoofer channel (so that it bombs on the floor, but harder, for the neighbors to enjoy)
FL- far front left
FR- far front right
SL- far rear left (located behind the listener on the left)
SR- far rear right (located behind the listener on the right)
You need to get an amplifier (receiver) that will support the connection of 6 speakers, and that each has a separate input and separate output.
Also, on the computer, the sound card must support such a connection. 
If there are fewer outputs, then you will have to purchase an additional sound card 
Green connector, it is usually the main one by default. Speakers are connected to it: left and right front.
Orange combines the center speaker and subwoofer.
Black is the rear speakers, which are at the back.
Gray is for 7.1 (plus 2 more columns in our still life).
In the sound card, for starters, we will set 5.1 (not, well, you can also 7.1, if the equipment allows).
I show on the example of a Realtek sound card. Although, the interface is not much different for older versions. However, the new one is more comfortable and beautiful. 
There is a Play button to the right of the dropdown list. It allows you to check how each column works individually.
We will configure using the example of the Classic player, which is part of the K-lite Codec Pack.
And don't say that:
- This is a codec washer (especially for people who edit videos), I will say this: if the hands are straight, then the programs will work for the benefit.
- It is impossible to get 5.1 in the Classic player, since only 2 speakers work. Everything is possible and 5.1 and even more: squeeze out all 17 channels at the same time, if your equipment allows. Only in the case of 17 speakers - you hang around them and wires.
Let's launch the video file in the Classic player. Let's go to the settings and make sure that the sound is sent to the desired sound card (I have the 15th number of "Realtek Speakers"): 
Is the sound coming? In all columns? Not? We go to the tray, there are icons of codecs with which the player works: 
You need to open LAV. 
Uncheck the "Mixer" checkbox. It is usually set by default for 2-channel sound cards, but we have already gone further, breaking stereotypes and limitations!
We apply the changes. If the sound does not appear in all columns, then select 5.1 in the drop-down list, apply again.
That's it, the sound MUST be in all the right speakers.
If this is not the case, check the hardware, restart the player, or see if the video file has ended? =))
