Buying a home theater with surround sound capabilities or a pair of good headphones can mean the world of difference and transform your living room into a private cinema. If you have such gear, the best thing to do is to make Windows 10 recognize it and use it to its full extent. Read this tutorial, follow the simple steps and have the ultimate sound experience.
Step 1
Open the 'Sound menu'
Right-click on the 'Sound' icon to open up the sound menu. The sound menu can also be accessed through the ‘Settings’ menu but it is easier to do it from the main screen.

Step 2
Choose ‘Playback devices’
Choose ‘Playback devices’ from the list that pops up with the right-click. This menu will let you fine-tune the playback devices used for Windows attached to your computer.

Step 3
Go to the ‘Properties’ menu
Click on the ‘Properties’ button on the bottom right corner of your menu. This will open the properties of the selected output device.

Step 4
Go to the ‘Spatial Sound’
Click on the ‘Spatial Sound’ tab on the upper-right corner of the menu. This action will allow you to access the options for the spatial sounds capabilities of your sound system.

Step 5
Choose the desired configuration
Choose the desired configuration from the drop-down menu and then click on the ‘OK’ button. This will change current settings and will apply the ones you have selected.

Attaching a surround sound system or headphones is highly recommended, especially for those movies and action clips that have HD surround sound.
