My speaker setup with my computer is currently a 3.1 configuration. I have L&R front, center, and a powered Sub. For some reason included basic software doesn't support this and doesn't have a simple routing option for directing frequency ranges to speakers (especially sub out) even though it does have 5.1/7.1 capabilities it (and only if) it gets that specific source file. And I don't know what the reason is but it seems most computer sources have decided to limit their output to stereo, in some cases removing old 5.1 capable output (such as YouTube) and some browsers just not doing it at all.
I'm not very familiar with this software so I was wandering if anyone who has experience using it knows if it is possible to make a setup that would take all system sounds and create a low pass filter to direct general 'base' frequencies to the C/Sub output as well as a filter to clone the average vocal range to go to the center channel of the C/Sub output, and of course using the other ranges going to the L&R fronts without the sub frequencies.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Perhaps you could take a look at the Peace equalizer (interface for Equalizer APO). It's very easy to filter specific speakers. Just click on the speaker (combi) you need and equalize it. Peace also has an Effects panel with a routing table.

If you don't like Peace I can help you set things up in the Configuration Editor. It's certainly doable but a bit difficult for beginners hence my link to Peace which makes things much easier.

I played around with it for a few minutes and it is mostly simple to navagate. Something I haven't found yet is a way for it to route to the center channel though. It does work for the sub output just fine, and the L&R are working but they were the easy ones.
Would you happen to know the location for that (if possible) that I am just overlooking?

I'm guessing you need the Upmix effect on the Effects panel (under the Effects button at the right). This causes the stereo input to be "spread" over the other speakers, in your case the sub and center. This means that you only need to eq the center and sub accordingly with the equalizer.
If this doesn't work you could use the Routing table on the Effects panel. This table is for specific routing speakers onto other speakers.

I already had the upmix turned on, but messed with the routing table and that did work. Now I just need to figure out how exactly I want to equilize the whole thing to get the best sound.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

I will take a look at that thank you.

Good luck. Happy to have helped.
