  1. Connect speakers and subwoofer according to your AVR or sound card manual.
  2. Ensure receiver/decoder is set to accept bitstream AC‑3 (or use software passthrough if supported).
  3. Use a player that supports AC‑3 passthrough (e.g., VLC, MPC‑HC, or your hardware media player); enable “HDMI passthrough” or “bitstream” if using an AVR.
  4. Select correct output format in OS/sound card settings (bitstream or multichannel PCM).
  5. Set speaker size/crossover and levels in AVR or OS audio control.
