I know there have been many discussions about this topic, but none of the proposed solutions seemed to work. I have a 2.0 speaker system and a subwoofer connected separately to the sound card, and there is no 2.1 option in the realtek manager. Whenever I select a 5.1 configuration and disable all speakers except the subwoofer and the front left and right speakers, the subwoofer works but there is a significant drop in sound quality from the satellite speakers; they just sound too tinny. I have tried updating the realtek driver (which is 6.0.1.6141), but windows keeps telling me that it is already up to date. Is the problem within the speakers themselves? Any advice to solve this issue is appreciated.
