Speaker Setup for the Creative Sound Blaster

Audigy 2 ZS Card

Your PC comes set up to produce sound through two speakers and, depending on the speakers you have, a subwoofer too. Some models may come set up for 5.1 channel mode.

If you have a 4, 6 (5.1 channel), 7 (6.1 channel), or 8 (7.1 channel) speaker system, follow these steps to get proper sound from all speakers.

Connect all speakers to the correct audio connectors on the subwoofer and the PC.

Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation included with your speakers.
