    When I test the speakers, the every speaker misses the primary and subsequent or so of the test tone. The amplifier switches up to 5.1 when the test tone set in motion, missing the first second or so, and then hit it off in. It resets back, on the other hand, connecting each tone. I have encompassed and been vaguely planning to roll back the NVIDIA driver to observe if the predicament goes away, or wait for an to bring up to date and anticipate it gets fixed, other than have not gotten around to it yet. On one occasion in a movie, the sound is stable, so it is not a big deal for my setup.
