Realtek HD control panel + Z 5500 questions

In the Realtek control panel there is an option "full range" speakers. Essentially i know what it is, but if i switch those "front left and right" + "surround speakers" on, i don't really feel much difference. Supposedly turning full range speakers on should increase low frequency sound response form satellites, instead of bass. It should only be used on 3 driver speakers, such those handle all frequencies.

Do you turn it off when you have a separate bass + satellites system?

I will get a separate audio card in the future, this is for now...

The speakers are so underpowered it couldn't execute full range anyways. Those low frequencies it can't do. So it would make no difference whether its selected or unselected.
