The integrated HD (High Definition) audio provides
jack retasking capability that allows the user to change
the function for each jack through the audio driver.

Rear speaker is plugged into the default Center/
Subwoofer speaker out jack, you can retask the
Center/Subwoofer speaker out jack to be Rear
speaker out.
