jonathanc Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I currently run a 5.1 z5500 speakers on my pc. Due to space problems I wonder if I can unplug the rear speakers and configure it as 3.1? Will this be supported or do I have to run all speakers to be fully supported? I know I can just unplug the rears but not sure if the speaker system or sound card will pick that up and reconfigure themselves appropriately.

AlexJames Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 In my experience, it will still work, but not properly. I have a 5.1 I can unplug any speaker I want (apart from the sub) but the configuration will always stay as 5.1 Id say your best bet would be to see if there are any setting for your sound card to change it to a 3.1. Failing that, try a 3.1 driver for your sound card, some work, some dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
