Hello about 2xRCA(2 speakers) + HDMI(2 speakers) = quadrophonic?

I have 2xrca from pc to stereo sound system and HDMI from pc to to Toshiba tv.
 sound card which output the rca is realtek with newest drivers.
 HDMI port which output to tv is NVidia gtx 770 hdmi port.

 Well maybe some modded drivers players,software or other creative ways to find the right setup so I will get ***QUAD*** :) will be appreciated.

Thanks and have a nice day there. ;)

I'm not sure and it depends on what you mean by quad.   There is a simple way of wiring one or two rear speakers without the ground to extract the difference signal (similar to a vocal removal effect but without any software or special hardware).    But this is "not authorized" and there is a chance of damaging your amplifier.   BTW - That wiring without the ground is for passive speakers, not "powered" computer speakers or active monitors.

In general, an application can only send the audio to one output, but with Virtual Audio Cable (or something similar) you might be able to send the audio to the analog audio port and the HDMI port at the same time.  That's not really quad, but you could drive two pairs of speakers.   

Or, the TV probably has analog outputs that carry the analog version of whatever's coming-in through the HDMI port, so you can plug your "rear channel" system into the TV.

Realistically, the best solution is to get a home theater receiver.   They all have various Dolby Pro Logic Soundfield modes so for example you can send delayed reverb to the rear speakers.      There are also inexpensive 5.1 channel soundcards with the Dolby effects or something similar.

Forget them - they have nothing of interest to good multichannel.

Send the HDMI  to a surround processor or multichannel AVR. Set it according to your speaker arrangement.   done.
