Only 2 speakers are working?

Question

only 2 of my speakers work when i go on sites such as youtube and facebook! ive got 5.1 surround sound which works fine when i watch or listen to music on Windows media player and divx ect. does anyone know what the problem is? or how to fix it?

Answer 1

Your receiver/amp decodes the signal. Youtube and facebook may only produce a 2 Channel Signal which means that the sound will only play on 2 speakers.

Answer 2
