Speaker types
Your PC supports only an active (powered) speaker system. An active speaker system must have
its own power source. A home audio system does not require active speakers because the receiver
provides amplification.
A stereo speaker set is a left-right, two channel speaker system. A multi-channel audio speaker has a
left-right front and left-right rear channel, and it may include a subwoofer and a center speaker. Side
speakers are included in more advanced systems. A subwoofer provides enhanced bass sounds.
".1" indicates a subwoofer. For instance, 7.1 channels refers to an eight-speaker mode and uses two
front speakers (left-right), two side speakers (left-right), a center speaker, and a subwoofer.
