How do i set up surround sound with 2 sets of speakers?

Question

i have a set of speakers and a sub woofer on my desk..the other day someone gave me another set of speakers for my pc...how do i configure them n make em work like surround sound speakers.

Answer 1

Your PC does not have enough power to directly drive speakers more than a few watts in power.

4 big speakers is almost impossible. You need to get an AV receiver.

Answer 2

You NEED a Surround sound card in your computer first.....

And if you do, look in the card's instruction manual on how to set up the speakers and the software to activate surround mode.

Or the built-in Help file in the card's software.
