Solution Feldmarschall Mar 25, 2013 You connect what you have. 2.1 sound system = connect to front left right and center (All sound goes on 3 speakers) 5.1 sound system = connect fornt left right center rear right left (All sound goes on 5 speakers 7.1... you get the point... set sound output to sound system you have and you are done I've got 2.0 on 7.1 card it works perfect.
