Hello

I have a 5.1 Audio PC Speaker, but when playing stereo mp3 files back speakers has no sound,
Now my question is is there a Audio codecs or DSP for WindowsMediaPlayer that convert 2 channel audio to 6 channel?

Thanks
 
Solution

Your Realtek audio driver / mixer for example
No. 5.1 sound requires the coded information for six channels, but stereo has only two. You may able to "mirror" the stereo channels to the rear speakers. Some audio drivers / mixers support that.
 


Thanks but can you identify (say names) those Apps?

I found following option to do this. Place it for others.

Speaker Properties->Enhancements->Speaker Fill
