Update: I uninstalled my audio driver completely and rebooted my PC and let Windows install the driver and my sub works again!

I just bought one of these 2.1 sets from a thrift shop. Plugged it in and tried it out before I bought it and worked beautifully! Got it home, plugged it into my PC and the sub isn't working...I checked and double checked the connections but no dice. My PC is fairly new, I have USB 3.0 jacks and a 6 core AMD with all the bells n whistles. Has Realtek onboard audio. Last speaker system was a 2.1 setup and, aside from a short in the volume knob, everything worked fine. Tried using the speakers on my cell phone jack (like I did at the thrift shop) but now the sub isn't working. I'm only out $40 but I really want this subwoofer to work again. NOTE: neither the Realtek or the Windows 10 audio manager have configs for 2.1, just stereo, 5.1 and 7.1. I was running on a stereo setup on my old speakers (I think).
