Channel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For starters, 2.1 and 5.1 refer to the number of amplified channels provided and the number of speakers in the whole system. The 2 and 5 represent the number of channels, i.e., the speakers laid out in a horizontal plane. Whereas the .1 refers to the subwoofer placed on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of 2.1-channel, the setup consists of one left, one right, and a subwoofer channel. It is more or less the same as the familiar setup for stereo (2.0) but with a subwoofer added to the mix.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21921\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2.1-vs-7.1-vs-5.1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1396\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2.1-vs-7.1-vs-5.1.jpg 1396w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2.1-vs-7.1-vs-5.1-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2.1-vs-7.1-vs-5.1-1024x321.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2.1-vs-7.1-vs-5.1-768x240.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1396px) 100vw, 1396px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the 5.1 channel setup is the most commonly used as it provides a good surround sound experience for most listeners. A 5.1-channel setup can come in several configurations and is represented by five horizontal channels and one subwoofer.<\/p>\n<p>In layman&#8217;s terms, a 5.1 system has five speakers, including a front left and right and a front center speaker. It also includes rear left and right speakers plus a subwoofer to provide a surround sound experience. A 2.1 system is just the left and right channels in the front and a subwoofer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enable_51_Dolby_Surround_Sound_in_Chrome_Firefox_and_Edge\"><\/span>Enable 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many instances when browsers like Firefox, Edge, and even Chrome fail to provide stereo sound output to multiple speakers and are only able to provide stereo sound to two speakers.
