    Finding the Sound Connector


    I have been using Windows 10 to access sound, no problem.I just bought a speaker and tested it by connecting it to my smart phone to make sure the speaker works. It does. However, when I run speaker wires to the input on my laptop pc, the pc doesn't recognize the externeal speakers. How can I correct this?

    :)

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Finding the Sound Connector :p

    What is App Connector...?


    Right, you might not be a developer but at some point you might use a 3rd party UWP App.

    The UWP Skype App needs access to your camera and your microphone ... while not a 3rd party App, Skype might not have access to those without App Connector - not sure, just an example.

    The Google App (Ok Google) needs to access your microphone.

    Instead of everyone writing their own access, getting permissions, etc, their Apps ask the App Connector to service their requests.

    This approach is nothing new to Android users, when an Android App gets installed, it lists the permissions it requires. You either accept them or cancel the install. Most people accept and install the App. MS might be trying to get past that one install step by granting the permissions to the App Connector. The permissions are listed on the App page in the Store - nothing nefarious, just eliminating a step.

    Keep in mind - this is all conjecture on my part - no hard evidence did I find *Wink

    Finding the Sound Connector

    Sound Quality


    One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

    May not be a speaker problem.
