I recently bought a 2.1 speaker but when I connect it to my laptop I can only hear sound coming from the 2 speakers but not the sub woofer. I tried the sound settings but there is not option to enable 2.1 etc. Any insights on what I'm doing wrong? I have IDT sound control panel and HP laptop. Thanks

Last Question I got, Have you got Drivers from windows update, or downloaded from Official website?... The Most and Common problem is that Drivers provided by MS update is outdated...
