look if you have a 5.1 DVD or game supports 5.1 sound then only all your speakers will work otherwise it will work in 2.1 mode.. you have softwares such as power DVD to run dolby virtual 5.1 mode and also in your audio control panel you must be having a LFe option that can give bass effect to your subwoofer..
