what do you mean by set the audio to 2.0?

 

[EricB]

dvd has 2 audio settings. 5.1 or 2.0 (for regular speakers). whenever you can barely hear the sound of the dvd through your speaker, it mean that 5.1 is going through 2 regular speakers, so most of the info is missing

windows media player is free.

thanks for the replies, it makes sense now

why would not the 5.1 information be going to the speakers?

how do i set the audio to 2?
