环绕^(Surround)声可以改变您的电影或视频游戏体验。虽然大多数人使用他们的游戏机或休息室电视来享受环绕声，但 Windows 10 也对其提供了强大的支持。但是，它确实需要一些准备才能使其正常工作。 

让我们来看看在Windows 10^{(Windows 10)}上设置环绕声的过程。

如果您需要设置环绕声硬件^{(Surround Hardware)}

在您可以在Windows 10上进行环绕声的软件设置之前，您需要整理好硬件。要获得这方面的帮助，您可能需要先阅读如何设置环绕声系统^{(How to Set Up a Surround Sound System)}，然后再阅读本指南。

记得^(Remember)更新您的驱动程序和软件^(Software)

^(Surround)Windows计算机上的^(Windows)环绕声取决于音频设备的驱动程序和该硬件附带的其他软件实用程序。从声音设备的制造商页面下载^(Download)最新版本的驱动程序软件。^{(driver software)}

选择正确的音频设备

您的计算机可能有多个音频设备，并且并非所有设备都支持环绕声。环绕声输出将作为单独的音频设备出现在您的常规耳机或带有某些声卡的立体声扬声器输出中。 

例如，您的声卡到环绕接收器的数字输出将是不同的音频设备。

设置和测试环绕声^{(Testing Surround Sound)}

准备工作完成后，是时候确保您已将环绕声设备设置为当前选择的音频设备。之后，我们将选择合适的扬声器配置，然后进行测试。

1. 左键单击Windows任务栏通知区域中的扬声器图标^{(speaker icon)}。
2. 在音量滑块上方选择当前活动音频设备的名称。
3. 从弹出列表中，选择您的环绕声音频设备。

环绕声音频设备现在是您计算机的活动音频输出。任何应用程序现在都应该通过该设备播放其音频。

选择您的扬声器配置^{(Choosing Your Speaker Configuration)}

接下来，您需要告诉您的计算机您有哪些扬声器设置。

1. 右键单击通知区域中的扬声器图标^{(speaker icon)}。

1. 选择声音^(Sounds)。

1. 切换到播放^{(Playback )}选项卡。

1. 滚动到环绕声音频设备^{(surround sound audio device)}并选择它。

1. 选择配置按钮^{(Configure button)}。

1. 使用扬声器^(Speaker)设置向导告诉 Windows：
   • 您拥有的扬声器设置。 
   • 确保所有扬声器都正常工作。

1. 在音频^(Audio)通道下，选择与您的实际扬声器设置相对应的选项。如果您确实看到了确切的配置，请在此处选择它。如果你不这样做，它仍然可以。例如，如果您有 5.1 设置但只看到 7.1 选项，您可以在下面的步骤 11^{(Step 11 )}中修复它。 

1. 在音频^(Audio)通道选择框的右侧（如上图），注意您的扬声器设置的表示。

1. 单击^(Click)任何扬声器以查看正确的真实扬声器是否播放声音。 
   • 如果没有，请仔细检查您是否正确连接了扬声器。 
   • 您可以使用“测试^(Test)”按钮快速依次运行所有扬声器。 

1.  选择下一步^(Next)。

1. 您现在可以自定义扬声器设置。^{(customize your speaker setup. )}如果您的物理扬声器设置没有列出任何扬声器，请在下面的列表中取消选中它们^{(uncheck them )}。如果您没有低音炮，则应将其从此列表中删除。 

1. 选择下一步。^{( Next.)}

1. 指定您的哪些扬声器是全频^{(full range)}或卫星^(satellite)扬声器。 
   • 全频扬声器^{(Full range speakers)}再现低音、中音和高音音频。 
   • 卫星扬声器^{(Satellite speakers)}产生中高音，依靠低音炮填补其余部分。

1.  如果Windows将全频扬声器与卫星混淆，您将无法充分利用这些扬声器。 
   • 如果只有您的前置左右立体声扬声器是全频的，请选中第一个框。 
   • 如果您的所有扬声器（显然是低音炮除外）都是全频的，请选中这两个框。 

1.  选择下一步^(Next)。 

1.  选择完成，^(Finish,)您就完成了！ 

使用Windows Sonic激活虚拟环绕声^{(Virtual Surround Sound)}

您是否可以选择环绕声音频通道取决于您的设备是否支持它们。例如，在本指南中，我们使用了一副USB环绕声游戏耳机。虽然它内部实际上没有七个扬声器，但内置声卡向 Windows 报告它有 7.1 个音频通道，然后将其转换为耳机中的虚拟环绕声。

如果您只有一套基本的立体声耳机怎么办？Windows具有称为^(Windows)Windows Sonic的内置环绕虚拟化功能。

要激活它，请确保您的立体声耳机被选为活动音频设备：

1. 右键单击扬声器图标^{(speaker icon)}。

1. 为耳机选择Windows Sonic^{( Windows Sonic for Headphones)}。您的耳机现在应该提供模拟环绕声。

1. 要启用其他选项，例如Dolby或DTS，您需要在Windows Store中支付许可费。

有关Windows Sonic的更多详细信息，请查看如何在 Windows 10 上为耳机设置 Windows Sonic^{(How to Set up Windows Sonic for Headphones on Windows 10)}。

希望您现在可以在 Windows 10 计算机上享受身临其境的环绕声。如果您正在寻找家庭影院设置的环绕声建议，请前往终极智能家庭影院系统：如何设置^{(The Ultimate Smart Home Theater System: How To Set It Up)}。

How to Setup Surround Sound in Windows 10

Surround sound can transform your moviе or video game experience. While most pеople use their gаming console or lounge TV to enjoy surround soυnd, Windows 10 alsо has robust suрport for it. However, it does require some prеparation to make it work correctly. 

Let’s walk through the process of setting up surround sound on Windows 10.

If You Need to Set Up Surround Hardware

Before you can do the software setup side of surround sound on Windows 10, you need to get your hardware in order. To get help with that, you may want to read How to Set Up a Surround Sound System before reading this guide.

Remember to Update Your Drivers and Software

Surround sound on your Windows computer is dependent on the drivers for the audio device and additional software utilities that come with that hardware. Download the latest version of its driver software from your sound device’s manufacturer page.

Picking the Right Audio Device

Your computer may have multiple audio devices, and not all may support surround sound. The surround sound output will appear as a separate audio device to your regular headphone or stereo speaker output with some sound cards. 

For example, your sound card’s digital output to a surround receiver will be a different audio device.

Setting Up and Testing Surround Sound

With the preparation done, it’s time to make sure that you have set your surround sound device as the currently selected audio device. Following that, we’ll choose the proper speaker configuration and then test it.

1. Left-click on the speaker icon in the notification area in the Windows taskbar.
2. Select the name of the currently active audio device above the volume slider.
3. From the pop-up list, choose your surround sound audio device.

The surround sound audio device is now the active audio output for your computer. Any application should now play its audio through that device.

Choosing Your Speaker Configuration

Next, you need to tell your computer what speaker setup you have.

1. Right-click the speaker icon in your notification area.

1. Select Sounds.

1. Switch to the Playback tab.

1. Scroll to the surround sound audio device and select it.

1. Select the Configure button.

1. Use the Speaker setup wizard to tell Windows:
   • The speaker setup you have. 
   • Make sure all speakers are working.

1. Under Audio channels, choose the option that corresponds to your actual speaker setup. If you do see the exact configuration, choose it here. If you don’t, it’s still alright. For example, if you have a 5.1 setup but only see the 7.1 option, you can fix that in Step 11 below. 

1. To the right of the Audio channel selection box (in the picture above), note the representation of your speaker setup.

1. Click on any speaker to see if the correct real speaker plays a sound. 
   • If it doesn’t, double-check that you’ve correctly wired your speakers. 
   • You can use the Test button to run through all the speakers in sequence quickly. 

1.  Select Next.

1. You can now customize your speaker setup. If your physical speaker setup doesn’t have any speakers listed, uncheck them in the list below. If you don’t have a subwoofer, you should remove it from this list. 

1. Select Next.

1. Specify which of your speakers are full range or satellite. 
   • Full range speakers reproduce bass, mid and treble audio. 
   • Satellite speakers produce mid and treble sounds, relying on the subwoofer to fill in the rest.

1.  If Windows confuses a full range speaker for a satellite, you won’t get the most out of those speakers. 
   • If only your front left and right stereo speakers are full range, check the first box. 
   • If all your speakers (besides the subwoofer, obviously) are full range, check both boxes. 

1.  Select Next. 

1.  Select Finish, and you’re done! 

Activating Virtual Surround Sound With Windows Sonic

Whether you can select surround sound audio channels depends on whether your device supports them or not. For example, in this guide we used a pair of USB surround-sound gaming headphones. Although it doesn’t physically have seven speakers inside it, the built-in sound card reports to Windows that it has 7.1 audio channels and then translates it to virtualized surround in the headphones.

What if you just have a basic set of stereo headphones? Windows has a built-in surround virtualization feature called Windows Sonic.

To activate it, make sure that your stereo headphones are selected as the active audio device:

1. Right-click on the speaker icon.

1. Select Windows Sonic for Headphones. Your headphones should now provide simulated surround sound.

1. To enable the other options, such as Dolby or DTS, you will need to pay a license fee in the Windows Store.

Hopefully, you can now enjoy immersive surround sound on your Windows 10 computer. If you’re looking for surround sound advice for a home theater setup, head over to The Ultimate Smart Home Theater System: How To Set It Up.
