Unless your computer speaker wires have separate + and - wires that you have to plug in separately, anyway. And if it's most speaker sets, it doesn't.
What polarity mixup will cause is a loss of direction in your sounds - something that's supposed to be heard on the left front and left rear channels might sound like it's coming from the left front and both rear channels, instead of just one. Or both front channels and the left rear.
If you hear a gap in the sound, the culprit is most likely speaker volume. If you could turn up the rear channel speakers (or the front, if they're the guilty parties), you'll be less likely to notice a gap. Sound should move front, front & rear, rear. If the volume isn't the same all around, the rear will overpower the front (or vice versa) making it appear that the sound jumped channels rather than transitioning smoothly. |
