Hello everyone,

I am new here! How many speakers do I need for 5.1 on my PC? I am working with some videos and 5.1 surround and it won't play the audio. I was doing DivX H.264 with an MKV container. For audio, I was doing AAC in an MP4 container. I had made the WAV file 5.1 16 bit to pass it to Nero AAC, so my .mp4 file will surround. It won't play my audio. I have two speakers on my PC. Thank you for any help and replies.

One or a hundred, you should still hear sound.
Something is wrong.

I don't know what could be wrong. I always did these videos but not with 5.1 surround.
