sound card question
Like when a sound card says like 4.1. Does that mean 4 main spekers and a sub or what? Cause im a gamer and have a 4 piece speaker set and a sub.
Thanks |

Yes, the first number indicates the number of speakers and the .1 means there is a subwoofer.
2.1 = 2 speakers and a sub 4.1 = 4 speakers and a sub 5.1 = 5 speakers and a sub I think you get the picture. When a sound card says it is 4.1 or 5.1 it means that it is capable of handling up to that speaker setup and has the necessary connections for it. |

They're up to 7.1, correct?
