Hey guys,

here are what i'm working with:
audioengine a2+ speakers
polk audio psw110 10' subwoofer.
realtek HD audio supremeFX

I connected my speakers to the green output and my subwoofer to the orange output on the sound section of my motherboard. when i go into realtek HD audio supremeFX, and i put it to 5.1, I can get the subwoofer to work.

I'm just wondering is there anyway to make the subwoofer to work if i were to use just stereo because right now i'm not able to get any subwoofer sound if i just select stereo.

thank you all in advance.

Solution
if you cannot get a software solution working, its also possible to Y the line to both the speakers and subwoofer. you can use a low-pass filter on the subwoofer input to only allow low tones or if the subwoofer has one built into its back panel you could use that.
