Take the tour ×  I have a desktop PC running Windows 7. I have
connected an external stereo receiver and speakers to it and
everything works fine when I test it in the Realtek Audio Sound
through the control panel.  However, when I play a video or an
audio CD, the stereo speakers do not work. I have line in, line
out, and speakers connected to the receiver. I have been through
the configure speakers portion also. Is there someplace else I
need to configure?  share|improve this question add comment  1

speakers were set for 4 channel, yet the video was only stereo.
The audio jack was plugged into the "back speakers" for a 4

option in the real
