Question

Audio

for example, I insert a 2.1 system into black, but it does not play, where should I configure it to work in parallel with the 2.0 system
Where do I need to configure it to work?

Answer 1

Two independent audio systems can be connected in parallel via independent audio cards. Usually, one is already built into the motherboard of ordinary user computers and laptops (plus each monitor with speaker support connected via dvi / hdmi / dp generates the creation of a corresponding device in the OS), but you can buy an additional sound card or an internal one (for example, pci / pci-e ) or external (for example, connected via usb, these are available very cheap) and connect a second audio system through it. I'm not sure about the limit on the number of such devices, for sure there will be interrupt conflicts, three to five - I think it's realistic.
Remember, in the system one of the sound devices will be 'default', ie. applications (for example, a browser) will only play sound for it if it does not know how to select the desired user in the settings (you can try to trick the application by launching it from different OS users who have different default devices in the settings).
For example, media player classic or aimp or even the old winamp allows you to select an audio device (and even set up channels along the lines), which means you can run several of these players to play different files at the same time and they will work correctly simultaneously, each sending sound to its own audio system.
ps I connected to one sound card on the motherboard with 3 minijacks (usually they are all customizable, i.e. you can specify which ones to record sound and which ones to play, for example, all to play in four-channel mode) two headsets (and there will be room for a subwoofer ) and setting the media player classic to play in quad or 5.1 mode but setting different channels for each (you can specify which stereo channel should be fed to which quad channel) and everything worked without problems.
