2.1 Speaker Setting for Windows

 A lot of PC users have 2.1 speaker systems, but are not able to reap the benefits in later versions of Windows edition. Windows 8.1 onward, we have sound settings for stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1 and 7.1. When the 2.1 system is set to stereo settings, the sub woofer would have sound, but wouldn't function as it would normally. Bottom line, No BASS!! Do you want to know, how to set a windows 2.1 system in Windows 8, 8.1 or 10?

    Perfect, thanks!

    This really worked out.

    Some of the steps to get to this panel in Win10 1803+ are different, but the functionality is still the same.

    The speaker test built into the interface verified that I've got a nice full-range 3.1 interface for any apps that care to support it. :)

How to Optimize Windows Startup Process?

Everybody recommends having the bare minimum programs at startup for a faster PC, but how would one do that? This process requires some know-how and a lot of googling and reading(also understanding). At boot, Windows loads all the processes necessary for the user to be able to use the applications installed. However, a user does not need all of these processes all the time. Hence, it is better to have the bare minimum processes load at boot up and then the user can start required programs using shortcuts. If you have a new windows PC, you may have some factory installed software that your manufacturer installs. This is annoying as you may need to purchase the software to use it, it is a trial version or you just do not need it. Furthermore, these programs may load at startup thus taking a toll on the boot process. So how to get rid of the junk in your PC startup? You will be suggested to use tools(software) to do so, but that sort of defeats the purpose. Now you have added an

Lost Indian Culture

"We should never forget our culture.", is something you would hear from a lot of people in India. During this conversation neither the speaker nor the listener gives a thought about "What is Indian Culture?"                                A Wikipedia search on Indian Culture(East Indian) would define culture based on religions, spirituality, cuisine(food), arts, clothing(ethnic costumes), values, customs and traditions, lifestyle, languages, literature,sports and popular media. Not to be confused with native culture(As Americans still believe Columbus found the right island). However, this does not exactly fall in line with the subject. A closer look at the Wikipedia article would give two words - Aryan and Dravidian. There is widespread controversy as to whether - they are two different races, Aryans were immigrants and if Aryan is the name of a race. Practically, 80 % Indians(Aryan or Dravidian) have accepted the authority of Vedas and similar literature as their

                                                                    I believe that by now all readers are familiar with what Open Courseware is all about and may have taken benefit from it in some way. If you missed my first post, you may read it here . I would like to introduce a couple of resources for references as part of study, hobbies or research. The first two resources were actually international and now I am revealing Indian contributions, as follows:                            NPTEL is a collaboration of the Ministry of HRD along with the IITs and IISCs, featuring video and web lectures for engineering and humanities students.                            The website provides: Course materials according to various disciplines of engineering like Electrical, Mechanical etc. and subjects related to humanities like Ethics, Game Theory etc.   Students can easily access video lectures from YouTube on the NPTEL channel Courses are arranged in an easily browse-able format NPTEL is t
