CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU BUY A 4.1 SPEAKER SYSTEM, BUT HAVE A 5.1 SOUND CARD

Xepidemic

nothing, usually in your soundcard software there is an option to pick which kind of set up you have. set it to 4.1. or in the control panel > sounds and audio devices > then on the bottom, speaker setting > advance.. set it to 4.1

Um, you turn off caps and put a question mark at the end of a question?

Ba dum tshh.

Seriously, though, is it that hard to write legibly?

Agreed. That was the first thing I noticed. I don't even care what the question is at this point, I just wish that I wasn't being yelled at.

Anyways, I'll try to entertain this question. The answer should be: you can set up a 4.1 system through Windows or whatever your soundcard manufacturer's software for configuring your speaker set up is. In other words nothing "happens" when you try to set up a 4.1 system on a 5.1 card. Your computer isn't gonna "blow a gasket". Most likely result is that 1) it automatically configures the sound for 4.1 channels, 2) it doesn't and you have to set it up through the manufacturer's software, 3) it plays through 2 channels.
