I recently bought some speakers, on the box it says 5.1 Speakers however the sound card that i have i think its like a 2.0 and when i connect the speakers only 2 speakers and the subwoofer turn on but not the other 3 speakers, does this mean i need a 5.1 sound card in order for them to all turn on or is it that the speakers are faulty or something?

What is the make and model of the sound card?

Family and loved ones will always be a priority in my daily life. You never know when one will leave you.

Most 5.1 channel capable sound cards have multiple jacks for multiple inputs, a front, center, side, and back jack. This means your 5.1 speakers should have multiple cables. How many have you plugged into the card? Not all sound cards are capable of multichannel output.
