I have a 5.1 set, but my desktop supports only 2.0, so I have connected Front L+R, but it's somehow working as 2.1.
My media player supports following speaker configurations

And the selected settings seems to be producing best output. Please provide info on what do these mean when output consists of stereo/5.1 audio.
Also, does the following setting override the former?

Edit:
I had read a lot on how to connect 5.1 speakers to PC, but hadn't found a thing. They all said that a card would need to be added. On a whim I downloaded some audio drivers, and now my Jack information looks like this, and all speakers work.

Edit:
The problem now is that when I select output speakers as 5.1 (or anything other) in media player (Potplayer), only Front speakers work, but when I select 'Speaker Fill' from device's settings, and set output speakers as Dolby Surround in media player, they all work.
Each of them used to work with my laptop (which has 5.1 capability) even with stereo audio.
Is there any setting that allows playback of 5.1 when 5.1 audio is present but upmixes to 5.1 when stereo audio is present?
