Best Answer

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.

What is mono on a TV?

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.

What is the effect of connecting a left and right channel of a speaker to the amplifier's right channel speaker terminal A and B and what will be the effect on the speakers and amplifier?

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.


To separate stereo audio signal from mono audio signal how can you do that?

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.
