Speaker types

Refer to the product documentation for your speakers.
Your computer supports only an active (powered) speaker system. An active speaker
system must have its own power cord. 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 multichannel audio
speaker system 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 example, 7.1 channels refers to an eight-speaker mode
and uses two front speakers (left-right), two side speakers (left-right), two rear speakers
(left-right), a center speaker, and a subwoofer.
