How do I get my speakers to play through my surround sound Windows 10?

Test Surround Sound in Windows 10

  1. Open the Sound Control Panel.
  2. Open the Playback tab.
  3. Select the Surround Sound enabled card and click on Configure.
  4. Make sure the speakers are on and you have set the volume accordingly.
  5. Click the Test button.

What to do if your surround sound is not working?

If not, the audio will be very difficult to hear using a Surround Sound setting. Set Surround Sound to OFF when playing a source that is not encoded with a Surround Sound signal. Check each speaker to make sure they are properly connected to the A/V receiver. Perform a Test Tone function to verify if the speakers are working correctly.

How do you disable sound effects on 5.1 surround speakers?

Press Windows key + R and type “mmsys.cpl”. Hit Enter to open the Sound dialog box. Go to the Playback tab, select your 5.1 surround speakers and click on Properties. In Speaker Properties, go to the Enhancement tab and uncheck the box next to Disable all sound effects.

Why do I not get any sound from my rear speakers?

Users are getting basic sound from front speakers; however, they are not getting any sound from rear speakers. Usually, the issue is prevalent in systems having Realtek’s 5.1 sound card.

Can you use rear speakers for surround sound?

The result will depend on both the content and the surround mode. There may not be any or much rear output. It will not be the same as when you use video which may be encoded for digital surround sound which is almost never the case with music (and never with bluetooth). I never got sound out of the rear speakers, just static.
