Just purchased a Samsung HT-c650w Surround Sound System. I honestly, do not know which one it is, could be a 5500 or something, the guy I bought it from told me he thought it was from the 650 series or something. Anyhow, the receiver, it has this written on the back ah63-02058u. It does look like a C6500.
Regardless, Here is what I'm trying to do. I have my laptop sitting on top of the receiver. The laptop has a 3.5mm audio jack and the receiver has a 3.5mm input jack on the front. So, using a 3.5mm male to male aux.cable, I have my laptop hooked up the surround sound system.
when I play music (like through groove on windows 10) Sound is only available through the two main speakers. The front speaker, the sub, and the two wireless back speakers have no sound.
My theory, is that my laptop is only outputing stereo and this is the cause.
Now, I know I can get a 3.5mm Male Audio Video Extension Cable RCA Male Extension Cable and go that route to the receiver. What I'm wondering, is if I can simply change some settings on my laptop to change the output from stereo to dolby 5.1 or whatever is necessary to push out that sound to all the speakers. Suggestions?
My laptop has two audio drivers in device manager>sound
- AMD High Definition Audio Device
- Conexant SmartAudio HD
I'm trying to get 5.1 dolby output to my 3.5 laptop jack. Thoughts?
