I usually hear the 5.1 sound from movies through my pc via headphones. here i use ffdshow or inbuilt ac3decoders to convert 5.1 to 2.1, and i can hear all channels in headphone clearly. problem is when i attach my pc speakers to my computer, then i cant hear some sounds clearly (like voice, or sound effects) as compared to when hearing through headphones.
I get the same problem if i use pc speakers attached to the tv tuner. i can hear stereo sound clearly. when watching hd movies/ tv serials through tatasky hd, the 5.1 coming from tuner does not get properly decoded in the pc speakers and some of the tracks are very faint.
my pc speakers are altec lansing vs4121. my headphone is some sony headphone. forgot the number.
is there any hardware 5.1 to 2.1 convertor available that can be put between audio source and speakers? will an av receiver do the job properly? or should i get 5.1 speakers? i dont want to clutter my house with speakers, so that option is last. probably if nothing is available i will settle for my headphones.
budget - the less the better, but preference to quality.
