No sound from subwoofer

However, on my main PC... I just tooled around for 5-10 minutes and it worked - not really sure what did it, tried going back to the other PC to recreate it, but no luck.
I am not sure what setting it to stereo would accomplish (though I tried) I am trying to get surround sound to work, that guy only had a 2.1 system, where the sub decided to chime in on stereo.
There are some solutions here I am not sure how to go about trying... "Setting speakers to small" has been mentioned a few times, I have no idea how I would go about that. I feel like I have been in all audio settings I can find, several different in windows, and the drivers (realtek audio console) and nowhere have I found a setting for speaksize.
Although partially my bad for mixing up Realtek and Windows settings, disabling full-range speakers is the same as setting speakers to small. This is what my settings look like to get bass working: https://gyazo.com/5237c05fb4c8674b2ae97569932e6f3a
Incase you may ask since the name is confusing, full-range/large speaker sends whole audio frequency to your speaker including sub-bass, but nearly all speakers can't play sub-bass. Unticking full-range / change to small speaker would enable cut-off bass frequency, then enabling bass management would redirect that cut-off frequency and below to your sub, therefore allowing crossover between your sub and speakers.
Most people should do this, although there are some reasonable exceptions like AVR with built-in crossover feature for HDMI audio. In this case allowing full-range speakers would act like passthrough so that AVR can do the crossover job instead.
