It would depend on the up-conversion approach of the sound mixing/distribution software on the computer. Generally, the bass frequencies from the signal would be sent to the subwoofer while the remainder of the frequencies would be sent to some or all of the remaining speakers. It's likely to be configurable.
Wouldn't that be MONO. ;-)
Mono is a type of sound on a set of speakers. There are two, mono and stereo. Stereo is the opposite of mono, so say a person is speaking on the right side of the screen. In stereo, the speaker's voice comes from the right speaker. In mono, though, the speaker's voice comes out of both speakers. Most people prefer stereo because it makes the experience more realistic.
The TV is a MONO TV and you need a STEREO TV with audio output jacks to get the surround system to work. PS, what is a spdif?
Mono and stereo are terms often referred to in the use of amplifiers and sound systems. Mono- all sounds through one speaker and Stereo- soundes dispersed throughout multiple speakers
This system needs a constant audio fed from FIXED and not a VARIABLE STEREO source to be able to decode the 5.1 information. My first guess is you might be feeding it a mono signal.
the center 2 rear speakers receive a mono signal (both get the same sound) so just hook 1 up and put it in the center
1.0, and 2.0. The mixes were mono and stereo.
You can bridge mono amps with a splitter, but the sound quality may suffer a tiny bit.
A mono amp will not sound good with door speakers. There are to be used with subwoofers
monotone
Connecting speaker leads to both right outputs, A&B, will only play the right channel of the sound (in mono) when both pairs of speakers, A and B are turned on. This won't damage the amplifier or speakers, but you won't be listening in stereo.
If you have a mono signal then all stereo parts are gone and you really cannot get them back. The other way round is possible. You can add the left hand channel to the right hand channel and you get mono. like the guy said just reverse the left channel to right and right to left it will create a reveresed sound A.K.A mono. but why would you want to switch anyway? stereo is the peak of all speaker systems.
