So far, I love it! Except when when I want to watch a Dolby Digital 5.1 show or movie (from Netflix for example) using my receiver. I need to manually go to the audio options each time to change the output to Optical. Using Internal Speakers + Optical ouput option will not output the audio in 5.1, my receiver switches to Pro Logic II in that case. Most Windows users have more than just one audio output device connected to their computers – the most common example of this being the average Windows user having a pair of headphones for when they want to keep the sound to themselves and a speaker or set of speakers for when they feel like sharing the music.
If the internal speakers on your computer are not loud enough or of desired quality, you can disable internal speakers in Windows 10 and use better quality external speakers.
