If you are using 2 speakers, and told windows you have a 5.1 setup, this will make it really hard to hear voices that are suppose to be in front of you, as this is typically driven by the center channel (which you don't have with a 2 speaker setup).

Control Panel -> Sound ->
Click on your sound output device, click "Configure" button.
Choose appropriate settings for your speaker configuration.
Make sure to "Test" when you're done to make sure you hear sound from every speaker!

Hope this helped!

i am using realtek hd audio and at the back of my motherboard are 5 connectors i can use but i can only use one because my amp has only one av input and i am using a 3.5 mm jack to audio and i can either use the front two speakers when testing or the middle and subwoofer

This is all determined by Windows Audio settings. If you have set a 5.1 audio environment, and are only playing using stereo or 2.1 setup, you will be missing out on many channels of audio. The simple fix is to match your current speaker setup with what windows expects your audio configuration to be.

If you have 5.1, tell windows 5.1.
If you have stereo, tell windows stereo.

If you misconfiguration these settings, you will be missing out on audio detail.

If you can't hear audio (dialog) in your game, you are probably misconfigured.
