Hi all,

kind of a silly question but here it goes:

Do mp3 music files playback music only in stereo and hence only require
a 2.0 (2 speakers only) pc-speaker-system?

If yes, what would one hear if someone had a 2.1 or 5.1
pc-speaker-system connected? Are all speakers (except 2) and the
subwoofer silent?

My motivation is the follwoing: I want to purchase a new PC and I'm
trying to find out which sound system is necessary for me.

Thanks for any input!
